Not going to hang him out to dry or anything.

But after trying to defend a lead for 45 against Motherwell and then defend for 90 against them after all this pressing nonsense. Wheres the learning he was supposed to have done after the Motherwell game? 

An embarrassment 

You are a cunt.

He got away light on the concerns of his game plan if he doesnt do it at Ibrox he will really know what flack is.

When pressured high up the park and when you’re in their face constantly-  c3lt!c are very vulnerable 

pity that’s not how we decided to play them today 

Sending those players out to play that game at Parkhead less than 72 hours after playing with 9 in the arse end of Russia would have been bonkers.

[gkb10127 120]

The managers cost us this game today. I said it at the start. No way lafferty should have been playing . It should have been candeias on the right and kent on the left. Thats the first mistake. The second mistake is the way we played. The first half was embarassing. As a team we are good enough to go to parkhead and play football. If you play the way we did in the first half then its just a matter of time before celtic score. Not good enough stevie

Thursday night beat us today.

3 or 4 / 10 all over the park and the 2 centre halfs have looked fucked for a few games now

Disappointed in Barasic,he never played Thursday but got dragged down to the level of the rest.

Ejaria looked a shadow of himself

We never had the energy to press high up the park.

We need this 2 weeks break

 

I agree the biggest disappointment was Barisic today. He should have been fresher than the rest.. but Arfield & Ejaria  & others looked poor today. Better teams we have had in the past lost at Septic Park so i am not too worried just yet. Subs.? I thought Tav was poor esp first half and fully expected Candias to appear 2nd half to support him. Or bring Flannigan on & put Tav further forward. Yes we looked jaded but that makes it all the more difficult to understand the lack of subs.

To be fair I am pissed off. Upon reflection I should have given him a rep, burt the pope alive and built that joint that is 3 hours overdue.

If that was Murty, Warburton or Caixinha, we wouldn't be in the group stages of the Europa league.

The players played a tough game on Thursday in Russia with 9 men, so tired performances were expected.

My only criticism would be that the set up of the team was mixed up.  He picked the wrong players for the type of game he wanted to play and didn't make substitutions when it was clear his plan wasn't working.  However he's new to the job and has earned more time than some are giving him through the performances in Europe.

There's a lot in that eg you don't want to be sitting in and defending with Tav as one of your defenders. You're xposing Tav and preventing him doing what he's good at. The midfield being lightweight only adds to the problem.We play Lafferty and Morelos yet we were set up to defend. Little sense in it imo.

There was little aggression from us today, far less ideas, but the back line earned their corn. Couldn't blame them for our defeat. Tactics just all wrong for the players we set up with.

missed a trick not giving you the job

“If we’d have lost to a moment of class or brilliance, I’d handle it but the referee has cost us”

 

Our manager has giving his answer and I for one agree wholeheartedly with this. The Gerrard revolution also needs to call out the cowardly referees we have in Scotland that are easily swayed by a corrupt fenian media. It starts now!

[Tumshie 205]

It's always like the Alamo in the first half at the San Giro but expected more in the second half.

Severely lack quality on the ball in midfield,  Collum gives that blatant fee kick we’re coming away saying dug in to get a good point after Russia

For some reason Gerrard is not to be criticised  on here. He fucked up badly against Motherwell and never learned and done the same thing today. Any other manager that won 5 points out of a possible 12 in the first 4 games would get fuckin slaughtered on here.

Mate I've started the referees / officials conspiracy thread on here so I get your view on them.

But today he didn't give a foul on the edge of their box, didn't book a player for diving, and I'd say gave them a few shitty free kicks of the type that we didn't get.

If you think that cost us anywhere near as much as us playing rank individually and collectively, losing individual battles, having minimal possession, failing to press or hit on break, being awful at passing & possession and crossing, appearing to lack energy and motivation, seemingly overly nervous, subs offering nothing improved, failing to create many chances, etc...... then you really need to watch the game back for clarification.

If we had just done to them what they did to us, we would be shouting from the roof tops that it was biggest 1-0 humping ever. 

They toyed with us ffs,

McGregor was told to hit it long to Lafferty who was standing next to Lustig.  If the long ball to Lafferty doesn't work and it's the only trick we've got, then no we're not going to create many chances.  Poor distribution from the back due to the long kicks from McGregor will have a huge impact on our possession as we're just giving it away time, and time again.  Also, I don't think we were pressing today in the same way as other matches.  It looked as if the team was told to sit back and soak up pressure rather than sit high up the part and press their back line as we know we can.  There was obviously a game plan but it never worked.

Suck it up better Rangers teams have lost there we are 100% better not as much fight j wanted but ref was unpredictable as fuck.

Fair point. I was out of order. We were hardly out our half. Would have taken a tanking if not for shagger.

Least we defended i suppose.

Coulibaly and Grezda being available would hopefully have made a difference in the midfield being lightweight and how we set up; would have allowed Ejaria and Lafferty or Morelos to start from the bench and be an option to be brought on to change the game.

We were so deep that even if Laff won the ball no one was even close to pick it up and don’t even think about trying to win the second ball. 

You cant sit off these cunts but we do it time after time after time.
