revalan 10 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Last night England played a very effective game. They pressed Scotland throughout the 90 minutes and never let the Scots settle. Strachan commented on this and also about the way the English players worked hard off the ball. Of course, the English team last night was a young team and is more skilled than we are. But contrast that to what we see from Rangers each week when we are often playing part-time professionals.For this Saturday, will Ally encourage our players to take a leaf out of the England game and play with some intensity, pressing hard or will we sit back and let Hearts dominate? Will our manager stand on the touchline with his arms folded? Let's see some intensity in our play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunk and disorderly. 14,863 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Got to love people who are delusional enough to think our manager reads their posts on RM. Worth a rep for the comedy value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Williamson. 84,571 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 He was at the game as a pundit so if he wasn't watching it would seem hes fucking terrible at every job he has.We'll be sitting back and punting the ball up the park on Saturday though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoniram 1,919 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Do the players have the ability to carry out his instructions?McCoist is a dud as a manager but he is not solely to blame for our failings.A midfield combination of Law and Black doesn't work as they are not good enough. They are both good players who were playing at a higher level. Therefore we can assume the talent is there so why isn't it evident when playing for Rangers.Why does Boyd look far heavier than he did last season at Kilmarnock Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sore Heid Bear 85 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The current squad doesn't have a hope in hell of playing like that. Ally's responsible for many problems, but this isn't one of them.We could definitely close down more quickly, and press higher than we do. That's one half of the equation. But none of our players (maybe Templeton at his best) could play the fast accurate passes/one-touch control game quickly enough to make the system work. We'd try it, and every third pass around the centre-backs would go astray. Opposing strikers would know to run on to these, and we'd ship a couple of goals more per game than we do already.

sammy cox 664 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 We are so predictable you don't need to be a coaching genius to work out our managements tactics.It has never changed any from Div 3 till now.I bet opposition teams don't even come to watch Rangers before a game as they know we play the same SLOW,shit football week in week out.It takes us about 15 passes just to get anywhere near the oppositions penalty box.By that time they have all come back from having a cup of tea and are sitting organised waiting on us.Typical example was against Hibs at Ibrox.Fair enough to go down 1 nil and not panic but when we went down 2 nil that was time for management to come up with plan B before half time.Plan B was you've guessed it more of the same till we went down 3 nil at half time and then throw on Aird to try and change a game already lost at half time.Pathetic management,pathetic tactics.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 You want Ally to tell his players to put a shift in and then you actually want them to do it as well. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Last night was a prime example of championship class defenders not being allowed time on the ball by EPL class forwards. Perfect tactics in that situation by the English. A tactic we have neither the players or the inclination to copy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
