Even before they scored we were on the counter attack, he was clean through if he was smart enough to watch the line but he’s not. He’s genuinely thick as mince. That first one especially last night was just absolutely unbelievable. Like watching Bambi on ice. Gerrard will get someone else in. He’s nearly 30 now and this is as good as he’s ever going to get and we need so much better. Is it too much to ask for a defender that can defend. Never mind all this bullshit that attacking wing backs don’t have to be great defenders, if that’s the case you can shove your attacking wingback where the sun don’t shine.

He's not learning from mistakes . He will get away with it against the Hamilton’s of the world. Hes not a young lad anymore you would think he has noticed that he is getting caught time after time when we step up a level of opposition and adjust his play accordingly.

Its not as if we are asking for some heroic, body on the line type defending. Its basics: don’t turn back to goal when you can easily put it in row Z, and don’t commit/dive in or for the ball or whatever the fuck he did for unless you are certain you can get it. Simple stuff.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 You can guarantee the Porto manager has watched our 2 EL games and when he gives his team talk on how to beat us he simply sticks a picture of Tav on the board. All attacks down the left side, quick ball down the channels or over the top, their RB won’t be ready as he is incapable of holding his position or reading the play that is going on around him. That’s if he is even there because 90% of the time he will be so far up field it won’t matter. This also leaves an in balance right across their defence as there right sided CB has to constantly tuck over to cover for him which leaves huge gaps through the middle or if their left sided CB moves over the LB is left 2 on 1 and it’s easy pickings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 34,983 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 You’d be forgiven if you didn’t think rationally that Rangers before now had imperious defenders who’d never contributed to conceding a goal or losing a game in our entire history.

The system Gerrard is playing is 4-3-3. The three forwards deliberately play very narrow so that the full-backs can overlap. Having full-backs with the ability to attack is key to making it work. Flanagan is a solid defender but if you played him at RB we lose so much going forward. We’re never going to find someone who is great at defending, and great at attacking (although Barisic is starting to look like a very complete player).

A defensive liability at times but he’s also one of our greatest assets going forward. We still lack creativity in the middle of the park. Davis, Jack, and Kamara offer almost nothing going forward. Right now all our attacking play comes from wide areas. Last night Ojo and Arfield were missing in action. Barisic and Morelos were the only ones that looked like making something happen. The manager really needs to address this lack of creativity from central midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive nothing against the wing back getting forward when appropriate and giving us that extra man. It’s bollocks if he then doesn’t do the other part of his job As for your last part you just contradicted yourself by holding up Borna as an attacking wing back that can get back into position and defends to a reasonable level.

The whole front line is the creativity and we are fucked because Ojo can’t be arsed and Arfield is still on his summer holidays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes only started playing LB since his bad injury and I take that is down to the fact he can’t bomb up the wing anymore. So has become more of a utility defender.

So I doubt Stevie is giving him the hairdryer treatment and telling him if he does it again he’s sitting his arse on the bench for a few games.
