GlasgowRangers1983

A lot of people are right to be expressing their disappointment with regards to not getting to the final of the league cup and for a stuttering start to the league but in my opinion there is no one better than Steven Gerrard  to take us to 55. I have seen more improvement in the past 6 months than we have seen in the past 6 years. He has only been in full time management for a short period of time and within that 1 transfer window he has managed to assemble a respectable squad capable in qualifying us into the group stage of Europa league and currently has us challenging for the league (2 points behind celtic after 9 games).
Are we the finished article? Of course not SG has signed up for a 4 year plan which will give him the opportunity to completely refurbish the squad and firmly put his mark on his style of play. For now he is still learning his trade and evidently making some mistakes i.e late subs or Morelos playing in the Ary match, Lee Wallace sub against Motherwell etc but he is only going to grow as a manager overtime and I fully buy in to the fact that over the course of this season we are going to have a lot of highs and certainly some lows but lets not forget where we were last season or the previous 5 years before that. I honestly think that if anyone is doubting his ability as our manager then  you need to remember where we have came from as a blind man can see the progress that we have made under his leadership.
The next transfer window (not likely January) will be the chance to start adding real quality to the squad as we certainly have the best core of players in recent years. For me this season can go either way and we may actually challenge celtic for the league or we might end up fighting it out for second place but with another few transfer windows under his belt I am confident that we are certainly on our way to winning 55. I am fully confident that SG is our best chance at stopping celtic from getting 10 in a row. For the first time since Walter we have a manager who understands what it is to be the Rangers manager. He does not come across as someone that will be content with 2nd place (McInnes Syndrome) and listening to his post match interview last night I think he is understanding that his squad is not good enough to maintain the high level of consistency that he is looking for or what is needed to successfully challenge on multiple fronts.

He was absolutely rank fucking rotten if people think that’s the standard of player needed then it’s a worry time. 
 

WTF is this highlights??? Fucking worst highlights and commentary I have heard. 
 
No thanks move along!!

A draw in the other match tonight has helped us greatly ??

Because as soon as we started winning games the hype train was well and truly out of the station and many believed it would be a piece of cake for 55 and we’d easily beat them.
However, ask yourself this......when we didn’t put more than one past Ufa in the first leg how many of us were disappointed because it meant we couldn’t rest players in the second leg because we wanted them fresh for today?
Furthermore, when a Ejaria scored in Russia how many of us thought yes, tie over, we can relax and rest some players in the second half.
instead for the first time since the st Mirren league cup final in 2010 we had to play with 9 men and battle like never before to get through to the group stages. We welcome our squad home as heroes and warriors and yet no one then thought maybe we w \ont be able to press them that hard on a Sunday.
expectations never lowered despite the fact we were already a) tired and then had to play with 9 men for 30 odd minutes and 10 for 60.
were we good enough today? no
is the season over? No
People need to look at this game in context rather than in isolation.

Yeah this guys just get what is means to be part of our club. What a difference having a manager who just gets it. Showed a lot of class / respect by mentioning that the two players that were sent off contributed to our success but I think discussions will be kept for behind closed doors. 
You cant fucking buy class some people just have it and Stevie G has it in abundance. 
As someone mentioned in another thread tonight is a major milstone in our rise to the top but hats of to the board for getting someone with Stevie Gs stature into our club again as he is on his way to becoming a Rangers legend....... well will be if we win on Sunday ??

Hardest 45 mins I have ever had to watch. Fucking warriors and I include Flannigan in that as well as should never been sent off.

For me 1-0 is a good result would of loved 2 or 3 but let’s be honest I fancy use just like at Maribor to go over there and keep another clean sheet. 
 
We are a completely different entity from past 6 years. We don’t look like getting beat and we don’t really look like a team that conceds loads of goals. 
For me I would go all out in Russia and make sure we get into the group stages and if that make our team tired etc for the Sunday then so be it. This might get me some grief but European football for another 3/4 months would be my top priority for next week. This point highlights the issues with our squad quality we defo need another 3/4 quality signings still feel we need a better squad to cover the 2 games a week ?
 
 

Simmer down and give the player a fucking chance
