graeme_4 34,527 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Morelos didn’t start. Worst decision Gerrard has made in his Rangers career. I love Defoe, but against that utterly pish back 4 you play your danger man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be brutally honest, celtic are a half decent team and there is not much between us. Some of these games we will win, some we will lose. What we seem to have in our favour is a manager who seems to be able to man manage very well and have a great squad harmony. I can't help but feel they will be far more likely to turn on each other when things don't go their way. As long as we keep the pressure on by beating everyone else, then I think they could go into meltdown. Dropping silly points will give them the confidence they need. We have to keep the pressure on. From what I can remember, their manager has generally done well in his first few years at clubs. Squad wise I agree there isn't much in it, they maybe edge it slightly. Realistically, we are underdogs but I think that suits us perfectly. Them and us will both drop silly points this year, but I have been pleasantly surprised how well we have done with so many injuries as of late, which I think shows progress on last year. Either way, reckon it will be close this year, bring home 55. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chryston bear 26 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 We ended up lumping high balls up to Defoe,which is not his game,Morelos on the other hand would have given the two centre halves that day a torrid time!!. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think recently we are a more fluent team without Aribo in it but there's still plenty of time for him to shine. Both aribo and ojo are raw talents. Not finished articles at all. Down to Gerrard to manage this.. Ojo has the same deal as worrall, play so many games by January or we pay a fee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d have absolutely pumped that mob if we’d played the right team that day. Just going to have to beat them in the league cup final to make up for it.

Camshy 812 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I think there were a few problems that day, first one was out players believing all the paper talk of us simply turning up and getting an easy result. That went to our players heads and the other mob simply wanted it more that day. Secondly the starting line up was all wrong, we had zero width and that was trouble straight away. We set up to suit them as opposed to suit ourselves and really made it easy for them. The good thing is it doesn't seem to have effected confidence, if anything it's made our players realise they need to keep turning up while for them I think it really papers over the cracks. This is our season unless we throw it away like we did at times last season and the game at Ibrox last month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 We got everything wrong that day. But the reaction has been 1st class, if we’d have won the game then celtics reaction might have been as good as ours has and we could’ve dropped points. We’ll never know.

Yeah, hope at the end of the season we say that was the pivotal league winning moment where we truly focused and addressed some faults in style, tactics, mentality etc. It may well turn out that way.

All of a result of changing a winning formula against a weak scum back 4. I wonder if we would have got Kent if we had cruised past them that day ... it was an awful lot of money and perhaps that result forced the boards hand?

Gerrard won't make the same mistake again. So just enjoy going top rather than focusing on what happened over a month ago Well said, they've learned from that game and improved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geronimoo 1,474 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Sometimes the stars and planets align, tactics are perfect, average players become good players, good players become great players, and great players become class players. Sometimes the complete opposite happens and you play shit, we got the opposite when we played them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cliche but we just need to take each game as it comes and try to win them all. Tough game away at hearts next. We are in great form just now, just need to keep on riding that wave.
