The No.9 760 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 2 minutes ago, TMB said: It's their worst start to a league campaign in decades yet they've beat us, are 4 points above us in the league, and have reached the League Cup final. We can't let them stroll their way to another treble there has to come a challenge at some point. Honestly from seeing there last few results I think barring more injuries Rogers will manage another double or treble without too much issue there players are far better especially in the midfield and strikers are comparable.

We can’t even get into finals Didn't Motherwell make two finals last season and fail to even make the top six in the league? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done better than we did, I’d rather be getting to finals than finishing runner up in the league. Mind you that’s motherwell with a tiny fraction of the budget we have. Pretty embarrassing really, mind you clutching to Motherwell as some sort of example shows how dire the situation really is Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty embarrassing really, mind you clutching to Motherwell as some sort of example shows how dire the situation really is So there's absolutely no correlation between making finals (and losing) and the league position? Christ, despite making two finals Motherwell didn't even qualify for Europe through it so I'll take coming second in the league over simply getting to a final. Not sure where anyone has cited Motherwell as some sort of 'example' though other than showing that getting to a final means absolutely fuck all if you don't actually win in it.

DC76 427 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Coincidence? Fact is the other teams have been consolidating since we've came back up and goin by previous seasons reckon we're there for the taking .and we are to an extent.

Essandoh 21,103 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Excuses after excuses after excuses. I’m not calling for the sack - far from it - but domestically it’s a fucking disgrace. Nobody in their right mind can possibly defend it. An absolute fucking disgrace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kris1984 1,205 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Only 5 domestic league wins is shite. No better than previous years. Can only hope were still in touch come January then we need to really invest. Maybe 2 midfielders, a winger and a striker IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakbear 3,563 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Gerrard is learning. He is learning that Rangers are everyone’s cup final. He is learning that having players with ability is not enough in Scotland you need players with balls. However he also seems to be getting more conservative as he learns. That’s not good. Earlier in the season we were being much braver on the ball. We were playing with a higher tempo. Zipping the ball about and making space and pulling the opposition about. Now, either we are losing confidence in that approach and becoming more cautious in the build up or teams have just learned to stick to their structure and let us play our pretty patterns safe in the knowledge that we don’t have the quality to create something special. Maybe both. Point is we were experimenting more earlier on. Now we seem to be in a warburton-esque: “do plan A better” mindset. Gerrard needs to start working on different tactical approaches and deploying them according to the opposition and being able to change them mid game as needed.

Think the point is that if you look at Rangers and celtic teams through the years rather than motherwell then the cups are usually a good incator to how strong a team is. More often than not if us or them wins the league then one of the other trophies is usually involved if not both. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
