****The Official Aberdeen v Rangers thread****

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,123]

Going to be another tanking off the scum if this form continues, both at Ibrox and Hamden

[surfsup2 1,535]

We need to work on our defense it's letting us down every game.

def was not a booking on Tav it was a good tackle.

The sheep were awful today .Truly bad but we still never look composed enough to win .Teams get 2/3 chances against us and take them ..As with last week ,we create 7/8 maybe more and waste them all .

I'm rapidly going of Waghorn who fails to turn up in big games and instead of putting foot though the ball ,his composure seems to evaporate when the game is important 

[KingKirk 25,607]

Raging about the result but can't complain about the performance.

[Dickie1963 2,352]

Did their goallie make a save ? I could set up a team to play us

 Sit back throw 6 forward safe in the knowledge we are so pedantic getting forward that they can all get back.    

Gone from only short corners to only long corners. 

Said we would only buy young players that would increase in value. Barton Hill Krancjar Senderos.

I like Clint Hill actually.

Never thought I'd say it but fuck it, I think he's coming on quite well.

Just a shame he doesn't have some pace about him or he'd be spot on. 

 

 

Clint Hill had a good game. Wilson was a disaster.

We dominated possession and were better in the first half but the second half was woeful.

That's a matter of opinion, just about every game has the same pattern and we are going south by the week, he has to go because he is not a winner.

Everyone needs to take a deep breath. 

We were comfortably the better side and should have been in front at half time. We conceded a stupid fucking goal immediately after half time, then went back to being the better side. We deserved our equaliser, and missed a sitter. We ultimately lost because the ref fucked us and their boy hit a perfect free kick.

Warburton was probably too cautious to say it after last time, but that might have been our best league performance of the year.

 

I despair.

 

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,754]

Good possession doesn't win you games.

[Reformation Bear 6,453]

1 point out f 9 in Sept.  Not acceptable.

Are we in a good place as far as league performances are concerned?   No

Is the defence good enough?  No

Are we creating and taking enough goal scoring chances in league games?  No

Is what we are seeing this season a side which Warburton said would 'be more than competitive;?   No - very far from it.

Is what we are seeing this season a side which King said should be 'competitive'?  No - far from it.

Are we seeing the turnaround which needed to happen quickly after the OF game (Warburton's own assessment of what needed to happen)?   No.

Is Warburton the right manager to deliver 55 for Rangers?   I do not see anywhere near enough evidence of this.

Is Warburton capable of getting us to 2nd spot by the end of the season and / or a European place for next season?   I don't believe so on the basis of what we are seeing so far. 

Have we heard enough of the lame post march excuses, lessons to be learned, will prepare well for next game and so on?    IMO, yes.   Time for excuses is past.

Sorry mate .We have been taking deep breaths weeks before the Cup final 

[jackrfc95 4,255]

We were the better side, absolutely no doubt about it. 

We just need to find away to turn all this possession into goals. I'm sure MW knows that more than anybody.

I thought Niko did well coming on. Dominated play 

We must have different definition of dominated!!

Are we where we need to be? No. But we're getting there. 

We were genuinely unlucky today. We have big issues at the back, but we are certainly capable of stringing a few wins together once we get a decent result in the league.

People watching that and saying MOH deserves to start need to have a word. The guy had half man hour to make an impact there and didn't touch the ball. 

Guilty. And you're right, he offered very little and not for the first time. Disappointed with Forrester's contribution too. Too many didn't step up today.

I don't disagree with much of what you say, but for how long can we accept that? Good performances don't put points on the table. In the context of the league table it's irrelevant.

Agree. 

I also agree with what you wrote in the "take a deep breath" post.

Everything seemed great first half, dominated it, definitely should've went in 1-0 up at half time. 

Tav caught sleeping immediately after the game restarts really threw us off I think, but we did come back into it. 

 

It's what makes it so soul destroying though, the fact we really were the better team, by quite a bit, and silly mistakes and a missed call by a ref really did fuck it all for us.

Another few years and we should reach the level we were at under McCoist.

People moaning at how shite we are need only look back 2 seasons to see real shite

Our attack has been letting us down, actually. 

[Creampuff 22,628]

This place was optimistic at half time. Does one daft individual error and one pearler from a free kick that never was change all that much?

[sausagetrunks 6,016]

King, either back him or sack him.

you can't say that wasn't a good performance.. Your lying to yourself if you do.

Definitely! Clinical finishers and it really wouldn't have mattered about the defence (today I mean).
