BFerguson6 121 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Just received the dvd this morning and been watching thinking how the hell did we struggle so badly with the players we had. Think Ecks biggest mistake was signing too many defenders and keeping them happy (fanfan,rodriguez and kyrigakos) Still amazing to watch that champions league run again - goosebumps at Lovenkrands goals.

Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Ecks biggest mistake was using barcelona type tactics with the likes of boab malcolm. Lovenkrands I think is underrated, he scored some amazing goals in europe for us, I loved watching him play as he was very exciting to watch. Remember, most of the time he wasn't played in his correct position. Imagine what he could have done for us if he was his place in the team consistently! I wanted him back for a second stint but sadly didn't happen.Also, he's always been amazing in champ man Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of his signings were disappointing that year. I reckon if he signed Boyd in the summer then we could have won the league or at worst finished second.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Yeah like leading us to third place in a two horse race11 games without a win a new club record2 years without an old firm winHe did have some good times but the stuff mentioned above really hurt as a Gers fanHis first season at Motherwell saw him take the Lanarkshire club to second in the Premier Division behind Walter Smith's Rangers. However, he failed to build on this success and the next two season were spent in relegation battles. He has a track record of starting well at clubs he manages then fading badly. If he was a racehorse he'd do well over 6F but football management is more like a 3M chase. Has he done anything since leaving Forest over a year ago??? No in great demand???

Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm sorry but I hated having McLiesh as manager, I couldn't wait till he left and any talk of him coming back sends shivers up my spine. His tactical decisions at times were strange and unnerving, and going by the way he talked to the press I as a player would have found it hard to take him seriously. Wish him all the best in his career but certainly don't want him back at Rangers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
