What I was trying to say was with top players their always likely to come good. Gerrard when it comes to making subs is probably thinking the same with these players.

We also need a real captain , someone who will ram it down their throats when the performance drops , we have had a few in the past many years ago. First point I agree with, second I'm on the fence. It would be great to have a Gough or similar, but it doesn't need to be the captain who is ramming it down throats when performances drop - it didn't stop a 21 year old Ferguson from doing it before he took over from Amo. McGregor does plenty of ranting - which seems to have next to fuck all effect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's obviously a reluctance from him in making subs, although I think the reaction to him not making subs is also overplayed whenever we don't get the result we're looking for.

kjw 17 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Think Gerrard needs a strong no2 who's seen it and done it in the Archie Knox mould as he needs help as McAlister is fucking useles.The two of them sitting back in the dug out not urging them on to win the game in the last 10mins is shocking. docspiderman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partick away, Killie home(95th minute)..Leading at Killie . Should have won at the dump in 0-0 game, Morelos pen at home to them. Last season our points total would have been higher if not for bad officiating, stupid mistakes as well. Just about all the points we lost last year were because we deserved to. Changing the argument, when comparing last season to this, when going into the old firm games last season everyone knew deep down we were in for a doing. This year you know there is a realistic chance we can win them. And that surely is a measure of progress. As an aside, if you don't think we are progressing what would you like to see happening? Sack Gerrard ? What then? Honest question. Bearsden bear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of chances we have had to kill teams off this season have been criminal. Honestly hope we keep Gerrard for the next 3 years. He is a born winner, you can’t change everything in one season. He has given us a Europa league group stage run, he has given us a victory over celtic. He is going to make mistakes in the same way that all managers do but he will honestly get it right given enough time. He has helped turn Morelos into a 15-20m pound player. It’s frustrating as fuck. But Gerrard needs the full backing from everyone and the board. Certain he will bring us a title in the next two and a bit years. Stevie G is the man. Give him the time and he will deliver what we all want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZed 4,510 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I think Gerrard will come good. He needed to do something about our defence and did, he has taken steps to address our lack of depth in midfield and attack. I think he will now look at how to improve the quality as some of the players we had and some that he brought in were stop gaps until he could find better and that takes time. He was lucky that Morelos was here and gave him a good option up front to focus the team on but he needed to have some depth there as well and he has done that. I expect that a few will get shifted on in the summer including some that Gerrard signed himself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a financial advantage over celtic anymore so like it or not we are huge underdogs. I agree that next season is huge but we need to back him in the transfer market.

Let’s be fair he has been backed heavily already thus far. Grezda, Barasic, Goldson, Katic, Arfield, Davis, Defoe, Murphy, McGregor, Kamara, Worral. In fees and wages both loan and permanent that has cost us a fortune this season. Out-with the Tim’s we have blown everyone out the water Imvestment isn’t an issue for me, we have had it and for me we haven’t done enough on the park when looking at said investment.
