Jakes Pal 5,464 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Apparently Rangers are the third most passingest side in Europe only behind Man City & Ajax according to something called the CIES football observatory. I do not know if I should be pleased by this or roll my eyes at the fact that some statto out there has probably spent days of his life working on this stat. I suppose the stats do bear out how Stevie G is trying to play the game, but watching us week in, week out it is frustrating that we more often than not fail to turn all of our possession into the amount of goals that the chances created would warrant. Despite this, and the fact that I am the epitome of the glass half empty guy, I think that I will take this info as a definite positive and sign of our improvement under Gerrard.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 It is clear, even to scum, that Gerrard and staff have us firmly on the path to becoming a very good team. The future looks bright. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manager deserves immense credit imo. Agree 100%. I find it remarkable that Gerrard has managed to install the confidence in the players to play the way they are, especially when you consider what he started with last season, and even more so now this season when we are piling so much pressure on the team to deliver. As you say, immense credit due. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
