LegendofCoop 17,291 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Honeymoon period well and truly over (if it wasn't already over before tonight). Utter shambles waiting until we were 1 down before making a sub...and with only 10 minutes to go. It's not just tonight. It's practically every away game, and even some home games. Lack of penetration and scoring chances. That's where tactics come into it. He has to get our players playing balls into positions where they can shoot. He has to get the likes of Tav, Candeias, Ejaria and Flannigan working on their crossing. All the fancy talk, and cute come backs in the press conferences is great, but that doesn't win matches.

ritchieshearercaldow 22,137 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Honeymoon is definitely over, the press will be starting to question him. His only redeeming stat is his Europe results but that will probably come crumbling as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad I am not the only one who thinks some of our players do not realise how important that game today was. Not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Fuckin pish performance. Can't remember their keeper having to make a save. Late subs who haven't got time to warm up never mind make a impact. Never win anything when we play like this in games that matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a massive club the players know this if they do not perform. He is not stupid and knows the game his players fucked it but is willing to take it on the chin thats a real man imo. He will learn and only get better imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue 9,352 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 In no way am I advocating he's a better option than Gerrard but heard a stat last week that, since Steve Clarke was appointed Kilmarnock manager, no one has won more points in the league than them, including the mhanks. You don't need lots of money to be very very competitive in Scotland but that today is just unacceptable and the whole team and coaching staff need to hang their heads in shame at letting the fans down yet again. A winning mentality needs to be found and found quickly or, domestically, this season will be like the last two. We are a much better team than Aberdeen, Motherwell, Livingston, et al and time after time we're found wanting, it's just not good enough. Yes it's still early doors but Gerrard knows you don't get time to fanny about at Rangers, more so when an absolutely shite Aberdeen team that had 2 shots at goal put us out a national cup semi final.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Massively deflating. Gerrard needs to learn from his mistakes a bit quicker if he wants to succeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,785 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Has a lot to learn but sacking him isn’t the solution. We aren’t going to attract a better manager, we’ve surely been through enough of them now for people to realise that? We can’t just keep ripping it up and starting again every six months. At some point we have to trust somebody and despite our flaws Gerrard is getting enough right to warrant time IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutley no point talking about sacking but I think the cult feel to him has to end now there's been too many issues with the away form and now this He obviously commands respect as a footballing man in a way our recent managers haven't but as our manager he still has everything to prove Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good enough. Every game is important. If you are professional football player then you go and play to win every game. You cant choose. This also has to be for the captain to let the players know they have to fight to win every game too but for me I do not think Tavernier is a leader of the team. Take the captain armband off him and give it to a leader and tell him to go practice crosses because I not see a more frustrating player than him for crosses.
