His defending isn't good enough and his attacking is ok at best against better teams. In the Moscow game at Ibrox we tossed everything down the right and we paid for it, when Candeias is beside him we have a right hand side which is toothless and can't make an impact due to poor crossing and constant wrong decisions. A good example is tonight before their goal, Tav had the ball on the wing and should have crossed it quick or headed to the by-line but chose to try and beat 2 players and lost it, another wrong decision made and we lost the ball. Could you imagine if we had drawn arsenal or Chelsea, they would rip us apart down the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't ever look like being thrashed by anyone . It's the total lack of attacking quality that is costing us . Spot on .

Moody Blue 9,346 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 20 minutes ago, Hilly86 said: I think it's more a general lack of character in the players now. A chronic lack of belief that makes them scared to do anything but take the easy option, and even that has become a struggle. Even their interactions with referees, opposing players at the wind up, etc., are scarily timid. I do agree, however, the only changes really are what Gerrard can do to influence things and (at times) he stands and does very little. At least changes in formation would show the fans we're trying to address this slump. We've been grinding results for weeks and the last three performances are carbon copies.

Should have had both Lafferty & Morelos playing tonight from the off. Coulibally would not have been my first choice either. But we did do better this year in Europe that expected from the seasons start. Lots to improve on but urgently need a quality midfielder. You mean we should have set up like we did when we lost the goal? We needed a win, yes, but we also want to stop them from scoring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

docspiderman 1,225 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Rapid are not prolific scorers so why set out to play for a nil nil and maybe hope for a set piece goal? This was a game where only a win would do but for a large part of the game there was little appetite to go at the opponents, far too many needless pass backs especially to the goalie on what everyone was warned was a really ropey playing surface. Wrong selection,wrong tactics and the result that we have come to expect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea.. as soon as we changed our tactics to all out attack, we conceded. We didnt have it in us to score 3 goals. We were missing Kent and Candeias, which would have been ideal for a game like this. We simply didnt have the quality tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee9 3,972 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I have to say outwith all the negativity I thought up until when he came off I thought Ryan jack was absolutely terrific...by far and away the best man on the park. Shades of his performance up at Aberdeen the first game of the season. If he could perform like than a bit more consistently we would have a real top player on our hands.

rangersross 6,530 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Wasn’t happy with setup, attitude, or personnel (changes). Europe’s been a reprieve from some of our poorer domestic results and, after some abject league performances recently, we’ve now failed to take advantage of an eminently winnable tie through a lack of killer instinct (from the players and management). It’s nothing like “panic stations” but it’s easy to see how these recent losses - including two cup exits - and more trivial things like the early termination of two loans can start piling up and creating the impression that things aren’t going that great.
