If they end up winning the league with just 2 defeats and a draw then fair enough. I think that's a big problem. I touched upon it earlier and the stats show it. Our points return is pretty good. The fact they have only dropped 8 points out of 78 makes everything a million times worse. Even if they had drawn a couple more we are right in this. There are so many factors to consider. It's a pretty unique and complex situation. We have obviously made mistakes collectively but they have effectively had an 8 year start on us in every area. It's tough to come back from that. We demand success so much though. We are desperate for it. We need it. We don't care about logic. We have no more patience. We want silverware and we want it now. It's a pretty fucked up situation. It's so frustrating. Some will say I'm delusional but I think we're close. I have no idea what happens next though. Pretty depressing. We just need to somehow get on a winning run. How we react at the weekend and the next few games after that will be interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if we went on a decent run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,527 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Starting to question if Gerrard is actually the ‘winner’ we thought we we’re getting. A terrifically gifted footballer with very high standards, but perhaps he lacks the mentality to get a league over the line. Not saying we replace him, but to say I’ve been disappointed in him, his approach and his attitude recently would be an understatement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniemca 479 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Can't see how any manager of Rangers can survive 2 trebles by the Scum on their watch.The thought of them going for 15 trophies in a row next season does my head in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardiola is the exception not the rule. Hes certainly turned us around but not entirely sure he has the intelligence or experience to take us further.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,789 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Just catching up on the Record Rangers Podcast just now(I know, I know) and Scott McDermott said Gerrard was asked why he didn’t make a sub earlier on in the game when it started getting more end to end and he said he was “waiting for his players to get control back” For a manager to come out with that...mental IMO. He should be making a change to try and gain control back, not waiting to see what happens when the game is clearly opening up and there’s a chance we could throw it away (which we did). Naive as fuck comment, but not one that surprises me because Gerrard has been by and large awful when it comes to effective subs throughout his time here.

The game the other night was set up nicely for Jones(ain't really a fan of his)with his pace to get behind Killie when they were pushing up the park in the last half an hour or so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,725 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 18 months into a 4 year (now extended) contract. Spending considerably less than our main opponent who are hitting unbelievable runs of (referee aided) consistency. We have improved against them no doubt. We have improved on the gap between ourselves and 3rd but not by enough. Dropped points are crippling. Our opponent far outspends us on transfers, loans, salaries. Yet folk have decided he's had long enough, let's bring in a new guy with the same challenges to stop 10. I said at the start I'd give him longer than most, I was thinking 3 years minimum needed to stop 10, and seems I was right that 2 years wouldn't be enough. The progress has slowed, but not by enough for me to turn on him. He's got huge work ahead, and he'll get 2 more transfer windows from me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis helps get control of the midfield back and like you say Jones gives you more pace, more directness and more of an outball on the break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBOO72 4,372 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 He's 45 mins away from the majority turning on him imo. Especially if he continues to refuse trying to make any kind of change to our formation or tactics when it's blatantly obvious they haven't worked since the break.

Coop 654 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 When the game was still at 0-0 someone on the radio said that was us on less points than the same period last season and behind on points 3 of the 5 times Aberdeen finished second.

Expertly deliberately misinterpreting my point entirely, well done. I'm saying a bit of objectivity goes a long way, be it for Gerrard, a player, the team. If you criticise someone for something then they do it differently, like you'd wanted, then a decent person would praise whereas a cunt would fail to.
