We seriously lack the ability to kill off far lesser teams, especially in games where we dominate. Not really disagreeing with you mate, but it's never been easy. Even through the 9 in a row years, there were plenty forgotten 1-0 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did so well in his cameo. I'm not annoyed at Gerrard it's his job to try and encourage his players, it's the couple of posters saying he done well when he came on, fair enough, though I thought he was just Ok, it wouldn't have been hard to look OK out there tonight going by the team performance, if he could do that for 80/90 minutes then I'd be delighted to give him praise, unfortunately for me when I hear the phrase "Ono's getting ready to come on" my heart sinks.

To be fair Ojo did alright when he came on. Don't think anyone is getting carried away. "That's the best he's been in a while" was a fair comment from the gaffer. Sadly that observation simply equates to better than pure shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer 124 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I'd agree with his comments re Ojo, I thought he really looked up for it tonight and was unlucky not to score. He's been poor of late but he did himself no harm tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heshootshescores 1,904 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It wouldnt surprise me to see Gerrard up on an SFA disciplinary charge for 'wilfully praising the performance of a young player despite him only playing a cameo role'.

bluenoz 30,843 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I'm with @slimjim1690 on this one. What exactly did Ojo do? He earned a free-kick because he tried to do a Jones and run through the defender. He tried his patent curve the ball inside the post. It was only close because the defender deflected it. Granted, he looked a little lively but hardly anything to get overly thrilled about. I normally think Gerrard's post-match comments are spot on. Tonight, I thought he sounded a bit desperate.

Ojo has been so bad for months that he is actually getting praised for showing a little more effort than usual.

Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I get it was a little nervy, not very pleasing on the eye and ultimately Gerrard is trying to talk up the team, especially with such a huge game coming up on Sunday. We're on an amazing run and it's difficult to be over critical. At this stage it's all about points. I understand fans having concerns but I actually think Gerrard does have a point about the defence in general. We've had 5 clean sheets in our last 6 games and whilst it doesn't look like we've had a lot to do defensively part of that is down to us being more proactive, being positioned better, being more organised, defending from the front, making better decisions, knowing when to press, when to sit, when to play, when to clear, winning first balls, second balls. Of course we still make individual errors but who doesn't. I have no stats to back it up but over the last 6 games or so (probably longer albeit possibly inconsistently) it seems we are not getting cut open and we're not letting the opposition get many (if any) shots on target. That's a massive improvement. We have the best defensive record in the league. It's a bit of a cliche but more often than not the team with the best defensive record wins the league. I will definitely be clinging on to that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ojo was good the short spell he was on - he can do no more - SG sees him everyday and perhaps understands as a manager that he needed a 'pat on the back'. if you seriously don't see a player n Aribo - perhaps you'd be better watching ice hockey. Boys only 23 and has moved from Charlton to the pressure of playing for Rangers and is improving every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
