    Don’t disagree with the overall point about Aribo, but think bit hyperbole on the second goal. The centre back was lining up for a shot from 30 yards. You let him take the shot 1000/1000 times, you don’t even really try and block it in case it goes for a corner and 999/1000 it goes miles over the bar/wide. Just happens that yesterday it flew in

    Nah you should always try and block shots from outside the area. Especially when you just conceded an equaliser.

    It was a pathetic half arsed attempt to do so.

    I think if this was Aribo's first offence then it could be a bit forgiven, but I seem to recall him on multiple occasions last season doing exactly the same. He is just so bad at marking and pressing that he should never play in midfield ever again.

    At Rangers he was only a forward type player so no idea why we see him as something he just isn't.

    3rd goal was poor. They just flapped at it. Bad day at the office all round !

    Was, no guarantee that he still is.

    He has been out of form for two and a half years.

    Although I am sure he will get another chance to prove himself before too long.
