Hopefully, he would be a good addition at this stage. I still think we need somebody in the midfield however who has that cutting edge creatively, a Davis/Mendes style signing.

GWR1979 1,987 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I don't think it's a rip it up and start again we were poor after we scored the goals and stopped pressing them high up the park, We have progressed in the time Murty has been in charge but he shouldn't be in the position after the summer unless he wins the cup.

Is that not a bit of a paradox though mate? if we weren't as bad as people are making out today and have progressed under Murty then why should he be punted unless we win the cup? I'd rather see more on the progress front in the league such as actually having the bottle and talent to win today, then win a one-off cup in the bigger picture. For the record I do think we have improved under Murty but we are still far too far away. I like Murty but I think we will always fall just short under him with his signings, tactics and team selections. He's not the worst manager we've ever had but today was his big test and his chance to put down a marker. He failed us today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kplfishtank 4,667 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 We played 10men for 35 mins , we couldn’t beat them, it’s in our heads now we can’t beat them. They are poor and the euro results show that but they are miles ahead of us. We let Brown and Nitcham control the midfield and their strikers are just better than ours. Do we give up? No do we fuck but we need the tools to challenge and the most important tool is a manager . i like Murty and will be thankful he stepped in when our board failed but he’s never going to win us a title. They pay that cunt 2.5m a year and today showed why a good manager is worth as much as a good player. to be down to 10and put on another striker takes balls.

KingKirk 25,830 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I believe this squad has the level in them to match the scum 100% I think it'll take one or two wins to shift the power in these games our direction. Next chance we get is the semi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivybank 4,637 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 See this crap about them being shite,they don't need to be good all they need to do is beat us 3 or 4 times in the league and its won Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say it till I am blue in the face - we cant keep expecting our centre midfield to make up for the deficiencies in the centre of our defence. Especially when, with the exception of Docherty, none of them can tackle. Could see Windass in front of me - tarrier in the clear five yards away & he was looking at the bench for instructions as to whether he should go back with him. This sort of thing should just be instinct, by now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion we cannot keep expecting our centre backs to make up for the deficiencies in our centre midfield. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue72 1,179 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 For me murty has really improved the side but he needs to drive the team forward and ensure in games like this where we had better chances, particularly second half, he makes changes earlier to win games scottish cup win or look to other candidates im afraid. It's no use having someone that is nearly good enough or nearly wins big games going into a 3rd season in the spl, we need to be challenging early on to win the league or we may as well admit we have accepted being second best which is never good enough for Rangers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docherty Murphy Goss Morelos Windass. Your chance was today. Once again it was proven that we have recruited well below Celtics level. Clear out needed in summer. I will admit it is far harder to accept being let down by our apparent own. Rangers fans yes, Rangers quality, no.

KingKennyMiller 270 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Murty's done reasonably well, but he's not the man to stop tiar and lead us back to the glory days. The Board need to find the right man, bring investment to the club, and back the new Manager with every penny we can muster. Today was a reality check. We're still miles behind and have to find a way of bringing a better level of player to the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a feeling most of them out there today probably played as well as they could against celtic but it still wasn't enough despite them being shite, down to 10 men, behind twice, us at Ibrox etc. With the ultimate kick in our stones being the like for like attacking swap (when most would have expected them to shore things up) which got them the winner within 9 minutes.
