CR3 12,658 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I’d go out of Europe early against Galatasaray to fully focus on only winning this league, domestic cups secondary. Today shows that even after playing a part-time team on Thursday we already might need all the help we can get on a Sunday in the league. To be involved in the group stages was great for the club and I’m well aware the statement of wanting to be eliminated from European competition lacks ambition however not winning anything again due to the detriment of Europe or tiredness half-way through again is simply not acceptable this season and the warning signs are beginning to show this early. Call it prioritising. Certain other things obviously go against as well, like awful semi-professional refereeing and injuries to key players but we can maybe do without these excursions and extra games this year, in my opinion as it’s absolutely imperative those cunts don’t win another. Might take the edge off not being in Europe the fact that we won't be able to go to the games @ Ibrox or away for that matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 No, I don’t agree. It’s the same conversation every summer. ‘Let’s go out of Europe early and focus on domestic football’. We can be successful on both fronts. Rangers only dropped 7 points from the opening 18 league games last season, and reached the League Cup final, despite being in Europe. Europe didn’t negatively effect us at all. Europe earned Rangers over £10m which is far more than you get for winning things domestically. This club needs that money. Wanting us to be knocked out of Europe is truly fucking bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPPS BOY 73,790 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 There was a point in second half where we had a ten minute spell where we had possession 20-25 yards from their goal. Side to Side and then back and then to the side. Steve Davis and Kamara keeping possession. i’ve seen that and individual defensive errors for 3 seasons now.

The Godfather 71,714 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Anyone would take a domestic title over anything else. That has been priority no 1 since he came in yet hes failed time and time again. To make it worse he's never won one of the other 2 domestic cups either. It's not acceptable but sadly a chunk of our fan base are blinded by his player status. Strange as it is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven33jackie 1,917 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Not to sure about your wanting to drop out of Europe. Tell you what I have seen before, that exact same line up and formation away to Livingstone where we also dropped two points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 30,494 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 If we go out of Europe we won't be signing any players to improve the squad. Like the Kent signing last year, I doubt we will get any players in before the deadline unless we are safely into the Group Stages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been great in Europe these last two seasons. It's given the club a lot of money to reinvest in the playing squad. We've improved dramatically domestically as well. Before Gerrard came in we couldn't win an Old Firm game, reach a cup final, or even finish second in the league. We've improved considerably under Gerrard.

With no experienced midfielders on the bench today shows we're a bit light in that department and I'd be disappointed if we didn't strengthen there irrespective of the EC . I think thats the reason we've offloaded Murphy and McCrorie . You could be right for anything beyond that . Unless , of course , Morelos goes .

The stuff just ain't there and no point moaning about refs as shit as they are. The same players who are simply not good enough in ability and mentality and have let us down before, continue to be lauded. I can only say we are easily pleased.

SpiritofBillStruth 167 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Imagine throwing away a European campaign for a league on we were never going to win. We are losers. This squad isn't good enough. We are mentally weak with a manager who doesn't know what he is doing. No chance. I'd rather throw away the Gerrard experiment and go for all 4 trophies under a real football manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
