DrLaudrup 4,684 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I'm really gutted by that but learned a few things today. 1) We remain a far better side than aberdeen. 2) We were woefully exposed up front and this odd Sadiq experiment should not continue. Clearly unusual circumstances to have Morelos and Lafferty out but how can Rangers lack any depth in such a key position. For me we either have Ryan Hardie around the first team competing for a place or sell him if he isn't up to it. He's been kicking around for far too long. Sadiq just needs to go. He is nowhere near the standard required to play for us. 3) Our attitude and composure at times remains poor - a chance to get us into a cup final and at times you wouldn't know. We need to learn that just because it isn't Rapid Vienna or someone we still need to see teams off domestically. 4) Gerrard needs to learn fast to make changes - so many times this season he hasn't done it. He needs to be braver and haul people off - not selecting Middleton today was a real error for me. He's just signed a contract and would have been desperate to get on. On paper I can understand Gerrard's thinking that better to play a recognised striker however with the total absence of Sadie this season its clear he is barely a recognised footballer - someone else should have played.

We lost the league by 12 points last season. You’re seriously trying to claim this team aren’t good enough to pick up at least half the points we lost last season in the other 12 games out with the OF games?

Nameless Ghoul 6,113 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Sore one to take. The struggle continues as we sit 5th in the league and now all we have is the scottish cup.

I don't think I have seen a side get into so many clear opportunities and positions and do fuck all with the ball. The lack of a striker was clearly the biggest issue, and nobody’s fault. Sadiq playing the full 90, however, was entirely Gerrard’s fault, and cost us the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably the most frustrating thing, that’s 3 games in a row now where changes could have been made. Arfield and Middleton on at 65 mins rather than waiting to react to going a goal down. It was clear we were lacking in attack, needed Middleton driving at them far earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you even watch this today against a poor Aberdeen side? What about Motherwell? Or against the scum? Livi away as well. Our domestic start has been poor, anybody claiming otherwise talks utter garbage. I never claimed otherwise, it has been a poor start. A poor start with a long season to go with a much better team and with money to spend in January. Battle for second place? Talk complete pish Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
