RangersMedia 35,961 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I don't understand why there is never any sense of urgency when we go away from home against the shiter teams in the league? We always build up slowly as though we are trying to feel our way into a game then before you know it, 80 mins have gone and it's 0-0. The most joy we got today was after throwing Itten on and hitting long balls and feeding off scraps 35 yards from their goal or in behind the channels. You don't always need to play football or a 5 yard pass ffs Fed up with this ponderous bullshit. Get the ball forward and get the ball forward quickly ffs To think folk used to moan about Walter's style of play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGM_72 3,581 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 We don't have the mental strength to do so. It impacts on the players' composure, why we see passes bobbling about the pitch. You'll notice how often our passes end up slightly behind whoever it's being passed to as well, because the team still has that panic/fear about the fact they know they need to win. Players then have to take extra touches and adjust. It completely kills momentum and makes us much easier to defend against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 It's been the same for the last 4 games, we just didn't complain about it then because we won. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueVanguard 6,552 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 One of my biggest pet hates that we do. Even the opening of this game we where passing it about the defence.

Getstiffed 8,863 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Ball goes into wide man who is in a bit of space (for once), shimmy, step over, inside, flick back outside, flick back inside, eventually surrounded by 4 players due to FUCKING ABOOT WITH THE BALL, square ball/back pass.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,667 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Goldson, Helendar, Kamara and Jack strolling about, slowly passing it from side to side like it was a training game when there were 10 minutes left was infuriating. It was only in the last five minutes that Goldson tried to drive forward and break the lines a couple of times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beararse 6,352 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Bunch of bottle merchants. Where’s the leadership on the park? We are badly missing a demanding, moaning and dare I say nasty cunt who will berate his own and demand they put in a shift . Barry Ferguson was and did just that. A captain who made things happen.

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Sadly we still lack that physicality and aggression to intimidate the oppo. As shite as Livi are, they did not lack any of that. Too many shrinking violets with the wrong mentality in that team. Technical ability on its own wont win titles and not that we are overly blessed with that either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helander did one too in fairness but after he gave the pass he stopped between their box and the half way line. Should be given licence to back themselves and get on the end of a cross if it’s that late and we need a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

About half dozen times he tried to play the forward pass that was never on. He seemed nervous most 1st half. He lost out on a stupid challenge on the halfway line that a faster striker would have punished. He played himself out of a jersey if Balogun returns for next week imo.

docspiderman 1,209 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I think we played more passes from Livi,s half towards our goal than Livingston did. Playing 2 defensive midfielders against a team who were not going to attack is nonsense as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swally 6,289 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Agreed @psb07158 It pissed me off at 80min when we suddenly started to pick up the pace and show some urgency. Why does it take us to get to that point in a game before players actually start to give a shit? I don't think there's a Rangers player amongst that lot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
