PaulRFC1 115 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 After a very comfortable first half...we go 4-4-2.4-5-1 in the first half and we are winning 1-0 and very comfortable then he brings off Naisy and puts on a severely lacking match fitness Lafferty and goes 4-4-2. He then switches Davis out to the right and plays Edu and McCulloch in the middle. Fucking awful tactics.To no surprise we look awful, create nothing and lose 2 goals.Why not keep our shape but play Ortiz on the right(his natural position)and play Lafferty on the left ? or even better play Wylde on the left ffs.Edu and McCulloch cant play as a midfield two together. With Davis in the middle with them its fine but if he gets put out wide right we fall apart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Looks to me as if Ally McCoist does not know what he is doing. OK, it's early in his Rangers managerial career, but six games in and it's not been good enough - he is now under extreme pressure.We look like an amateur side who lack the very basics.

A negative instead of a positive.The Edu and McCulloch partnership is one of the worst I have seen.We also need signings, quality ones, but it looks like we are going for quantity instead.

keithgersbear 3,225 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I know some might grill me for it but i think Ally is a bit of a coward as a manager. Refusing to change things and isn't pushing the team on when we do take the lead. Tonight proved that. We had them by the balls and Ally showed no leadership in his management by changing the formation and pushing us forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Cage 31 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 We were shite in the first half and we managed to eclipse that level of shiteness in the second half. Let's get it right, we should be beating teams like Maribor comfortably but instead, they created loads of chances in tonight's game and should have won by more.

Ok it works in the league when played with 2 wingers but in Europe you cannot play a 4-4-2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

watp1690rfc 32 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 If Ally continues to play edu and mcCulloch he will have a very short managerial career. Most of us can see it! Why no Ally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILLYBOY50 1,638 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 jobs for his mates will ultimately cost ally his job why cant he see this if all of us as mere supporters have been saying for a while now you cant play jig mculloch and edu in the midfield together. it just doesnt work in fact i wouldnt care if i never saw any of the two of them again in a blue jersey i know some of you think thats harsh but there is no fucking way either of them brings anything to the team anymore, its time for change and ally you had better change things fast as you wont have much time to get it right. and pissed off Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jers 0 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 sick as a parrot, 7 new players in and not one shows any improvement on previous squads. Would love ally to do well but how much assistance is he receiving; he's looking out of his depth at the moment. We should be conquering europe built around scotsman, too many foreigners that don't have the same fighting attitude.`ok of to hide the tears of shame.
