MrMckee 3,420 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 One of the things about our play I had been most impressed with and Pedro for installing it in the team. Completley abscent yesterday and think this was a problem as players like candieas was not chasing down the defenders causing them to make errors and us to create chances. Is it a coincidence that this happens directly after the hibs game last week? Are the players and or manager scared of someone getting sent off again? Could say it is a bit of a far fetched theory but we was tame yesterday and directly after the hibs game could seem a possibility but we need to get this back!

BlueMexican 204 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The first 20 minutes v Motherwell and Hibs was missing yesterday. Hearts played their plan to perfection. Horrible team tactics but it worked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,814 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The only reason I can think why he took Dorrans off was because he picked up a booking. I would hope that was not the case but it seemed an odd substitution to me. We all agree it should have been Hardie for Miller. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could the lack of aggression been due to Pedro being given the wrong advice from his "local number 2"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem being that Pedro quite happily talks about his tactics to the media, ie: being full on fir 1st 20 mins, half hour etc, opposition teams can plan and train knowing what they're up against when facing us, Kenny Miller, Pedro etc should do the team a favour and do the talking on the park Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he demands a more physical team, he is going to have to accept yellow cards and let them continue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Heart and Hand 8,949 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 We lack aggression, we should be the one bullying teams especially at Ibrox. We've got a good few Brits in our first team but most of our players are skinny cunts that get pushed about we need a big preferably Scottish hard man in the team Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought the guy you mentioned was one of few who got pass marks in regards to aggression. Probably tracking back to win posssion back rather than pressing as such. Regardless I agree with the point. We just looked to have no answer to how they set up in particular the second half. Problem is, we will face that time and again. Massive chance for Miller in the 1st half, I haven't seen it since however felt at time it was a good save, however he should have scored. Second week in a row a goal that would have completely changed the game Overall too slow in shifting the ball and lacking quality at crucial moments. Not willing to hit from distance and pick up rebounds, losing out on the second ball countless times. It just wasn't very clever at all. Only positives I can take is Morales looked very good and I don't feel we will concede every time a cross comes into our box anymore. There is no dressing it up however 4 from 9 is a disaster. Teams like Hearts want to have a word with themselves btw, time wasting etc on a game they had every chance of winning had they showed any ambition Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. Pedro should be taking the blame for this but everyone seems to act like it's Miller's fault. Miller should be coming on as a sub and not starting every game esp In the wrong position Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe should have worded it to include drive their defence back and make it count. Will have to settle for drive defence back and continue to pass about, slow the attack, and try to pass it into the goal hoping we dont get countered. Missing a player who can leather it and keep it low and on target from outside the box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersScotty9 255 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I think because it's the first game they've played where a team has sat in against them, they found it harder to break down and where I think is the problem is the final 3rd. Therefore had Miller taken his chance and even Hardie we could've won the game. The possession game was all well and everything but it wasn't until 70th minute or so that Rangers really started to show that urgency and this for me was the problem, confidence thing? Not sure.
