gsa 3,906 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 We've all given Pedro the benefit of the doubt but he's made an utter cunt of that today. Dodoo should have started along with windass and halliday and Waghorn should've been at home watching on tv. If he's not yet been able to establish those two are utterly pathetic then I'd have to question his being fit for purpose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibroxric72 199 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Toral was a big miss in my opinion as he's played well in last while. Should have started the game instead of Halliday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Bob 1,360 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Well we were rank playing 4-3-3 under Warburton so how he thought we would do it today is beyond me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Pedro should not be judged on what happens this season. We were in complete disarray when he took over. Expecting him to take over Warburton's team and beat Celtic is ridiculous. Let's wait until after the summer window and see how his team performed next season.

SasaPapacLoyal 348 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Why we went with 3 up top I'll never know. Should have had toral in midfield with garner missing out. Got overran in midfield throughout the game. Total pish Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's going to happen in the summer that will change Pedro from making a cunt of the lineup, once a cunt always a cunt. It's unbelievable that Rangers fans won't face facts we are a second rate club and it's going to be that way for years to come unless we have a complete change, just too many embarrassments.

Prso's headband 35,426 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 He's giving all the players a chance. I'd be questioning him if Waghorn starts next week that's for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,426 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Got his selection wrong, but made changes at halftime that brought us back into it to his credit. We made a fair few decent chances second half, and could have got back into the game if we had any kind of quality in our side. If we had that wee rat Griffiths upfront instead of Waghorn it would have been a totally different game - we require investment to bring in quality to allow us to compete.

Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Going from his post match interview, he was clear he wanted more aggression and a higher press. The players failed him in that respect and as a result it was a terrible 1st half performance. I think he was looking to keep it tight and then bring on Dodoo and McKay to go for the win. The players let themselves down individually and collectively. He changed it early at half time but the penalty kills us. Bad decisions and failures to do the basics for both goals made it so easy for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been starting waghorn since he came but he has no excuse for starting the other two which was a disgraceful decision and worried me before the game. Two massive mistakes for our only chance of silverwear and stopping history which might be made should those pedo cunts win that cup Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I don't think the selection was the real problem- much of the team was forced- but the tactics, and the individual performances were a shambles. That is down to the manager. If we play like that next week it will be unacceptable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boybluesy 3,708 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Selection was wrong. Garner, Waghorn and Halliday were awful. Toral keeps the ball well and we had zero width or pace with these three. I'd bin them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleh1872 87 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Get tae fuck!!!, we already were up against the wall going into the game with or pants down at our ankles. He went 4 3 3 in the hope we would offer something going forward. And almost did until the pen, it's a cup game he had to take a risk or we prob would have lost anyway. He picked that team with the thought of changing to keep Celtic guessing...It's no Pedro's fault the players didn't show up!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didnt have a shot until target until the 62nd minute. We didnt need to take any risks at all - all we had to do was be as effective as we were against them at the piggery - and yet we changed formation completely. It didnt make any sense to me.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,714 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Deserves some criticism as 433 or 451 with 2 forwards in Miller and Waghorn coming back was ridiculous. We chased shadows first half as players were uncomfortable in their roles and the likes of Halliday came in from nowhere. That said. When 9/11 of those that start fail to get pass marks for passion drive commitment and ability then I'll put today squarely on the players.

cushynumber 25,178 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 "We organised our defending in three ways. The first one was to try to place a high block - if you see they were trying to build from the back - they open the centre-halves and Scott (Brown) is always in the middle. We had three players down there," he explained. "In the middle of the park what we were trying to get them to play the ball to (Mikael) Lustig, block it, block Brown who was making the triangle with the centre-halves, and with this block we could have space to explore after we regain possession. Caixinha had hoped to pressure Celtic defender Mikael Lustig, but accepted his tactics failed "We could not do it in this match because we were a little bit lower on the pitch. In the lower block, we were expecting not to allow them to divide the game. "We just played wide when the spaces were inside. The idea was for our wingers to come inside and fill the space." Despite seemingly thorough planning, Caixinha accepted his strategy had failed to work. "The game-plan is one thing, what we put in practice was a totally different thing," he acknowledged Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC10 1,449 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 No matter what the team selection was today we would have got beat. Not one rangers player would get into the Celtic team so tactics and player selection really mean fuck all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
