Burts91 427 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Saw a question on Twitter. How would you rate Gerrards first season out of ten. Interested to see the answers. Even though we are ten points behind I feel like he’s given us a bit of credibility back with victories against celtic and a much better than expected European run. I’d go for roughly 7.5/10 personally. Facets of the season were much much better than expected In my opinion, but the cup losses to Aberdeen have been sickeners.

rangersross 6,530 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Can't be higher than a '6' for me. Our run in European was an unexpected bonus (though even that is tinged with frustration) and our totally dominant win in the last OF game was better than anything McCoist, Warburton, or Caixinha delivered but - at the end of the day - our club has winning hard-wired into it and another season without a trophy is a failure.

McEwan's Lager 30,519 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 4/10 Negatives: Zero trophies, questionable signings, questionable tactics, Cup exit at an earlier round than last year. Positives: Finally beating them, likely improved league position than last season, European run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnsey 1,540 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 6.5 Disappointed with the inconsistency, but there are some very good players here that just need to get their confidence back. I never expected to make the groups in the Europa and to remain unbeaten against Villarreal was some achievement (especially as they are still doing well in the tournament). The celtic win was another big moment, proving we can go toe-to-toe with them. However, the lack of creativity in the middle has been a real killer. The cups have proven this, we really struggle with teams sitting in or scoring early against us. No manager is going to get every signing right and Gerrard felt he had to make major changes, so I'm under no illusions that it will take time. I fully expect us to be a different animal come next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmcf 34,124 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I think a 6 for me . Some of the football we've played has been excellent , as was the European run , but our consistency , and lack of wins against our top rivals is worrying . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,600 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 6/10 needs to improve. 8/10 for euro run maybe even a bit more considering how early it was when we played our first game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 7. Given how we were in may of last year - when the club was a shambles - I thought we would really struggle this year. We have let ourselves down since Xmas but it's still a good job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's fair to judge Gerrard against a title-winning team McCoist largely inherited from the greatest manager in our recent history. Beating them then and beating them since we were demoted are two very different things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 7 for me, got us into Euro group stages. Finshed where I expected in the league which feels like a let down after the fact because we could’ve done a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McEwan's Lager 30,519 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 No trophies, no contest in the league at the split, 10 points behind them, papped out both cups to Aberdeen, don’t even make the SF of the SC, and some people are giving 6 and 7s out of 10. Fuck me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton2008 646 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 19 players in. Similar points total to last year. Aberdeen losing Rooney, Mclean and Christie imo made them a weaker prospect this year. So I really don’t see it as we have improved and the league has improved hence why similar points totals... I see as Aberdeen are weaker and have achieved their levels of last year. Kilmarnock have improved, hibs and hearts are most definitely weaker. Our consistency has been criminal - occasionally look excellent - but mostly look average. European run aside it’s been very poor. Gerrard was backed better than any manager of recent times. Find it hard to give better than 5/10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
