The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Some players are just not cut out mentally to play and be successful at Rangers. That daily and weekly pressure cracks most of them. I can understand why. They can keep it going for a while, then hit a wall. Its not easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've done fairly well in the group stages, and that's been papering over the cracks. Gerrard has to find a way to get the team scoring the chances....numerous chances, we're creating. And fast! I never felt it was necessary to win the league this season, but felt/feel we HAVE to come second and by a smallish margin. The worry is that, after today's annual figures, I can see Morelos being sold if a decent bid comes in, so we'll have to effectively find 2 scoring strikers.

The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Take Europe out of the equation and i think were are right up there in the League and in the League Cup Final. The European run has taken a lot out of us early in the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

callumbo87 209 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Gerrard has to work. As much as I did not want him in the first place and I'm concerned how things are going we have to stick with him. Not least because I presume his long term contract would be a small fortune to buy out, add to this as the accounts show we can't keep accumulating and paying off players every season.

We play in a real diddy league, a league seen as a joke in Europe. As for the league, plenty of games still to play but we need to get our tempo back and find some consistency.

The Ibrox Derry 8,904 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 In the League, there is really no team that has set the heather on fire. All teams have been very inconsistent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 20,361 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Not worried yet tbh. We really should, on paper, be beating Kilmarnock but their a stubborn side with a great manager that are capable of pulling off some ridiculous results, as we’ve seen. We haven’t got the match winners the scum do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 11,453 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 When many were getting carried away earlier on I still thought winning the league was a step too far this season but I was hopeful of making them sweat a bit this time and carrying that onto next season, it looks like we're very possibly heading for another 2nd/3rd/4th scrap which is the soul destroying thing and one chance of a cup was lost to the sheep We obviously have to stick with the Gerrard project when so much has been invested in it and we really haven't got any other options left but the air of invincibility he built up for himself is rapidly diminishing and this is a massive test for his early management career in how he handles the bad run we seem to be having now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We beat decent sides in the qualifiers. Osijek beat PSV Eindhoven home and away last season and Maribor were in the Champions League and we are holding our own in a competitive group too, including getting a credible result at a side who have made the knockout stages of this tournament for the past four seasons. We are shite domestically but let’s not start downplaying how well we have done in Europe to try and make us look even worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never mentioned blue chip and neither did I but they are miles ahead of anything in the SPFL with the exception of perhaps the taigs. Teams in the qualifiers including Maribor have dispatched numerous Scottish teams in past years. Celebrating 55?? Too many idiots get carried away on here after either good results or a couple of bad results. We are neither on our way to Baku nor are we as bad as some of the panty wetter would have you believe.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,775 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I know he didn’t play tonight but for me one of his biggest mistakes so far is signing Ejaria and expecting him to be a reliable, consistent creative force in midfield. Jack is decent at what he does but is limited, Coulibaly is looking like a shadow of the player who started off so well, Arfield is busy and works hard but lacks that creative flair that we are crying out for and Rossiter isn’t a creater either. Maybe he thought he would have Dorrans available to him to share the load, but to go into a season with an over reliance on Ejaria as the only midfielder who has a bit of skill and creativity was always likely to backfire because he’s an inexperienced player who still has a lot to learn and somebody should have realised that we also needed somebody more experienced and more consistent playing ahead of him. As I’ve said countless times about other young loanees that we’ve had in recent years, we aren’t a Rotherham, Bolton or Charlton where you can rack up 30-40 first team appearances on loan and have it be considered a success even though you’ve only played well in 10-12 games because winning one game in three isn’t acceptable here. We need guys who are experienced enough, or have the mentality to do it week in, week out, eapdically in the middle of the park in games like we’ve played over the past week.
