skinnymate1690 625 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 It's been covered before but now we're at the end of the window it's a big worry for me. If anything I think we are slightly less strong There's still a question marks around a few of them but we were told we would bring in quality rather than quantity. We haven't replaced Kent and although a lot of people didn't rate candeias I don't think we've replaced him either. Add to that we didn't add the number 10 we've been crying out for. I don't quite understand what our signing policy has been this summer I'm hoping someone that's able to cut teams open or a winger that's able to beat a man comes in tomorrow but Gerrard all but confirmed we are done.

Popular Post steven33jackie 1,920 Posted September 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2019 Candeias is a player that on his own I wouldn't rate too highly but when you consider the partnership he had with Tav then he becomes a loss . So far Tav has looked a shadow of the player he has been in previous seasons. Brubear, BridgeIsBlue, The Beast and 10 others 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOPLITE 221 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 In a word No, I don't see any improvement on last season Gerrard beefed up the squad with quantity not quality. BILLYBOY50, BookWorm and Blueteeth 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic 4,654 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 For the most part it's the same team with much weaker wings Cedrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HG5 11,113 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 No. Full of players who can’t beat a man. Cedrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 We certainly have more options and needed for playing in th EL. I thnk we are, but it's how you use them and set hem up is the trick. Today was the worst example of it. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnyboyrfc 296 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I think we are unquestionably worse off in wide areas, but in all others I’d say we are better off, bearing in mind improvements seen in existing players (Katic, Jack) a firing Steve Davis, and generally more options and competition with far better quality waiting in the wings for a chance (particularly centre half and centre mid) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Doesn't matter if we've improved player wise if the manager totally fucks up with team selection and tactics. Improve the playing staff then play them out of position or not at all. Wtf Gerrard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirkNS 6,298 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 No, without candeias and Kent. Lot weaker, brought in almost 4 average Joe's on the wings Cedrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomatasauce 1,253 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Considering a lot of last years top performers are having a nightmare start to the league season we are weaker, if they get the finger out but, who knows Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomatasauce 1,253 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Gerrard might have went a bit gung ho in the games at ibrox last year and it worked Wether it was Gerrards gameplan or just poor game for every member of our team we seemed to be trying not to lose that game, trying not to give anything away and just edge it, back fired big time. i hope it was just a poor performance cos only a fucking imbecile would change a thing about our game plan after tearing them apart twice Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvd1873 7,159 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Yes for me we have a stronger squad and rotation shows us that. The new players need time to settle which we can’t afford unfortunately. I still feel we’re missing an all out attacking midfielder/striker who can play as a 10. Maybe king once fit is the answer or Arfield if he’s not out wide in a 451/433. We need someone to split a defence open.... tin hat oan here.... like the way Allen and then peado fc did against us. We’re too predictable from wide areas imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed mate. Players were half a yard behind them for 50/50s where if your going full pelt your not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
