superallysbears 7,572 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 We needed to be on it to get something from the game, we were as bad as I've seen on the ball, hopefully it was just down to us not really giving a fuck, don't want to see us that bad again this season.

He still has some zip, energy and creativity about him - when used right. Only when comparing to the geriatric Davis. A half decent midfielder will show up them 2 together.

Moody Blue 9,346 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 For me, only Helander and Barisic could go and play in Germany at a decent level so we're never going to compete with a team at their level. No disgrace in going out to them at all. Good to see some mins for fringe players as they just HAVE to be on it come Sunday, no mistakes can happen.

I know what youre saying, but I just dont think he has that in him.. He knew they would be keeping the ball and wanted Kent and Barker to run at them when we got it... Morelos to keep it etc.. We just rarely had the chance to break. They were very, very good defensively. Morelos couldnt keep the ball when he got it - was outmuscled and couldnt find a teammate when he did.. It was a very big ask and we were just beaten by a much better team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Shaw 30,359 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Gerrard treated it like a pre season friendly even standing there n training gear instead of his suit. Im not to bothered couple new additions to the squad to come in on Sunday hopefully changes the dynamics of the team. Think wee Alfredo’s finished here now, a few others should be following him out the door. I also think this will happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKnight87 17,281 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 They are a different level to us. Brings an end to great European campaign. I definitely feel we need to strengthen our midfield. We need a lot more energy and creativity in there. Hopefully wilson and gerrard have something in the works. Onto Sunday and more important matters.

stevemac 4,998 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 390 odd days in Europe, got to be a record. Put out by a far better team who's about to sell one of their better players for about 90m. Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. A great run that probably ends at the best time to focus on the league (until it all starts again!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take shit for this but I do wonder if it’s Morelos that’s causing unease and if so, will we improve when he goes? If we don’t we’re not winning the league. It’s possible. During pre season and our 2 competitive games I don’t think Morelos has had a single 1 on 1 with the keeper. Whether that’s down to those around him not creating enough or him not making the runs etc is up for debate. If he’s here on Sunday and starts it will be interesting to see what his effort looks like against a team he should be sticking a couple past.

MARK92GERS 804 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Pretty much a nothing game for me this was never going to happen to big a deficit to claw back especially against a team of that calibre but overall it’s been a great campaign & certainly a memorable one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about the better team part-I thought a draw at best but we just didn’t look to have any fight. “As a Rangers player, every game is a must win“ - that saying is more about how you perform in the 90 than it is about the result. Our current team do not have that ethos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.E.C. 18,718 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 To take it to the next level for Europe we’d need a completely new midfield. Said this a few times in previous threads we look very average at time’s when pressed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears r us 30,773 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Beaten by a good team over the two legs, but still a bit disappointed by how we played tonight. Now onto Sunday and another three points are required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
