Popular Post bluenoz 31,088 Posted August 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2018 This is what I know........ the formation was changed to accommodate one player - lafferty a 3-5-2 is best suited at home and not in away fixtures. Goldson CAN play in a back three. Today just wasn't his day. We are tired from a heavy schedule. The squad is thin due to injuries and suspensions. Two more signings are still needed. We are still undefeated. Jonok, PRW., djwyc14 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmcf 34,516 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I don't think that formation suited us as a whole tbh , Motherwell were crossing balls into the box for fun in that 2nd half . HG5 and sandyinroyalblue 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post STEPPS BOY 74,702 Posted August 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2018 With the lack of options on wings, Tav and Barisic should be played as wing backs. Another centre half would kinda help if playing 3. A quality playmaker is severely lacking.

theclothmonster 1,723 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I'd add the midfield is poor to that list, a loanee from Liverpool is playing every game because we have no one else in that position. Today wasn't the first time the midfield hasn't been able to string three passes together for long periods. If we don't sign a creative midfielder before the window shuts heads need to roll. danger ranger, The No.9 and HG5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyal 136 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Gerald needs another transfer window at least . The squad he inherited was always going to be a team in progress. I'm encourage with the first 10 games the signs are were moving progressively forward. we played poor today experimented with 3 at the back . Sometimes you have too step backwards to go forward looking for a huge response the next 2 games Jonok and dougie76 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza1212 1,212 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Here's what I know. The glaring omission from that team is Coulibally. Jack is getting there but this Rangers team just look so much more comfortable when Coulibally plays. He's going to be the difference turning 1 point into 3 in games like today.

teddybear1975 2,066 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Frustrating as fuck to concede so late in two league games. It is a work in progress and the improvement we have seen has given us all renewed optimism going forward but we do need extra bodies in to improve the first eleven. That's why we have to forget about the old firm and focus solely on qualification to the Europa League. This will imo opinion enable us to strengthen the team further. We crave a winning team and we are getting there slowly but surely. Gerrard will make mistakes like all managers do but I genuinely feel he will lead us to where we belong with a few bumps along the way as he stated. plumbGER and Malvern 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed my point, he's young and belongs to another team and under normal circumstances would have been rotated. The first half he played well but he was visibly knackered after 50 minutes and we had no one to come on and give the kid a break. He'll be starting on Thursday and probably against the tarriers if Gerrard was honest about Coulibaly's return. Ejaria tiring and falling out of the game due to the recent workload is one of the reasons our midfield was so ineffective in that second half.

I agree he faded from the game today and we looked swamped in there. Coulibaly is a massive player for us and is also a loan player, it’s where we’re at right now, just hope to fuck he’s back very soon. theclothmonster 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The physicality of their players had nothing to do with any goals, a slip and shocking defending from Tavernier cost us. If we had performed in the second half like the first we could have scored more and put the game to bad, that was the biggest disappointment for me.

We're still lacking creativity in the centre of the park and out wide, we're about two first team signings and at least 1 backup cb from it being a first class window.
