Dominating them that day and still losing was an absolute disaster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will hit 100 points, won their EL group including wins home and away against a team fighting to win the Italian league. Even without our dreadful run since January, we’d have to have delivered an unprecedented season, in terms of points for us, to win the league. It is frustrating, no doubt. But we’re still going to end up on 85-90 points which would normally at least put you in contention to win a league. I've been saying it all season that I dont understand people constantly wanting to say how shite they are etc , imo all that was doing was talking down how good we were up to the winter break Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NixonRFC 1,309 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I've listed all the positives of having Steven Gerrard as Rangers manager countless times, his record in Europe being the the biggest achievement over the past two seasons but sooner or later he's going to need something tangible domestically to prove that he's got it in him to be a successful Rangers manager, that's two League titles gone, two league cups gone, a Scottish cup gone, we have one trophy left, we'll most likely have to go through the tims for it again at Hampden, but this week is huge, we go to Portugal more in hope than expectation. Braga showed us how good they are for 65 minutes the other night, if they get that much control of the game again I don't think we'll get out of jail a second time, the worry for me is if Braga killnus off like they thrratened to do at Ibrox then we could be heading to Tynecastle next weekend for what is now our biggest game of the season on the back of a demoralising drubbing. I realise that's a negative view and we could go there, get a credible draw like we did in Porto, qualify then go to Tynecastle buzzing but realistically I just can't see that happening, particularly without Morelos, Kamberi has been a breath of fresh air but Alfie's physicality drags us up the oitch and keeps usnthere by occupying the whole defensive line, I feqr we'll need to sacrifice a bit of structure to combat that loss and it'll inevitably cost us.

SG is the Manager of Rangers, not a cunt. When he stops insulting mine and every other Rangers fans intelligence then I will stop calling him a cunt, serving up the same shite week in week out then digging up fans after you get a miracle midweek is deserving of the tag cunt.

NeoGeo7 10,431 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 If only we could say the same about the other 11 Scottish premier league teams No questioning our results in Europe, if he and the team matched that level domestically we’d have silverware from the last 2 seasons and be fighting tooth and nail with the scum for the title. That gives me hope that there is something there because we can’t afford to change manager again, we just have to hope that he changes the formation a bit and gets more out of the players. Kamberi looks like he’d run through walls to get a permanent move here and we need to harness that and get it to rub off others in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have won many titles with worse win, draw, loss stats than this season. But times have changed and it is now a case of winning every, yes every game against the cannon fodder and then beating the scum in a head to head over four games. We will probably achieve the latter and be found sadly wanting because we can’t play with the required intensity every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not doubting the Dubai trip screwing us over somehow but I really do think that not getting that win in the cup final would have meant the players believed they could win, now every time our players get into winning positions they doubt themselves.

bluebell82 243 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 We simply can't afford to get rid of Gerrard and start from scratch again, altho if we go out the scottish cup the pressure will really be on...Its not just Gerrard tho who needs to be called out, its the whole management team - our level of naivety is criminal at times!

Today looked like the day they would push on after we got the 2nd, we were carving out chances quite easily, 5 mins after going a goal up Gerrard shites it but.

He was clearly scarred by the killie game when Davis should have been on, so he did the same change today before we lost an equaliser which might have worked but the defence is shite and we should have kept the foot on the gas to keep it as far away from our defence as possible.

kelvd1873 7,132 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Gerrard said our defence didn’t play well today.... well fucking change it then Gerrard! Goodson was shite as he has been for the last few months, but Katic was on another level of shite today and he should have been subbed before 30 mins!! I remember advocaat taking off craig Moore on the first day of the season after 20 mins because he shite that day, Gerrard needs to do the same!

If we go out on Wednesday then Saturday to Hearts, with back to back defeats against them at their midden in their worst season since they came back up, then I don't see how he comes back from that.
