Gerrard

[dee9 3,279]

The building blocks he has slowly been putting in place have all been aimed at this season and this moment. 

If he can guide us to the title this season it would be up there with the greatest achievement in our history. 

Absolutely love the guy.

This emphatic win will embolden Gerrard's team. The reality is that Celtic have never been a big issue for him since he came to Scotland. That's never where the damage has been done. He's managed Rangers in eight Old Firm games and it's 4-4 in victories and 8-7 in Rangers' favour in terms of goals. 

They were the better side on Saturday, the better side in December when winning 2-1, and the better side in the League Cup final last year even though they lost. In four of the past five derbies, you could argue that Rangers were the superior side - on the balance of play.

Celtic have not been the problem. It's the others who have tormented them; Kilmarnock, Hamilton, Hearts. This win has added to their momentum and their self-belief. You could see it. 

The lack of crowd fervour was definitely part of it, but on full-time they didn't whoop and holler like they did after their December win, Gerrard didn't scream and shout down the camera lens, there wasn't a great outpouring of emotion after a job well done. 

That's maybe a sign of a maturing team. No over-celebration, no bombast. 

That's 14 games played in all competitions this season with 12 wins, two draws, and 11 clean sheets. Impressive foundations are being built by Gerrard.

Don’t think OF games are the problem, they never have been. 
 

Like I said before I’ll really start to believe if we go to Kilmarnock and get 3 points. 
 

The manager though seems more aggressive and focused in all his interviews this season, none of this going mental and screaming into cameras anymore. We as a team look as if we know what we’re doing now and are confident in it.

M8....you can be a wee bit hyperbole at times....not in a bad way...I guess you wear your heart on your sleeve....I think we will do it this year for one simple reason...we have the best squad.....look at our bench today....I'm at the stage where I'm confident of anyone coming off the bench and doing a job

It's not hyperbole, yesterday was a big win and I said to myself before the game whoever wins this game is literally favourites for the league. I see a different team this season, mainly due to cutting out individual errors.

That’s just as off-topic as the food chat. 

So in a topic about Gerrard it's off topic to discuss that he does not have another striker up to speed to replace Buff when he collects another yellow card

Wasn't sure whereas to post this, didn't think it deserved a full thread, but I'm a big fan of these trends

The two trends quite clear there.

Regarding post above by @Broxi

18/19 after 12 games - 24 points

19/20 after 12 games - 31 points

20/21 after 12 games - 32 points

Up on last year and had harder away games this year! Very impressive start.

Scum have dropped 2 more compared to last year and have tricky away games upcoming! 

Still a long way to go but good signs so far.

Doing well, but can only be judged when the medals are handed out. Now or never for him. 

[Broxi 5,757]

Scum have conceded 8 goals this week, we've conceded 4 goals all season

Another big factor is the scum very rarely drop points outwith us, which makes us dropping points harder to take IMO.

This looks like it might just be changing.  I think Lennon has regressed them to a point where they are not just going to pick up three points every time they don't play us.

They rode their luck in the last few weeks, winning by a single goal, sometimes late into the match.  THe loss to us, the Milan then dropping points to the sheep could go either way. They might push on and regain form, or as I hope and think, they might implode and have a run of bad games or bad luck.

Fuck them anyway, the only team that can beat us this season is us.  If we lose it's going to be because we fucked up.  We have laid the ground work, have a lot more depth, the team have played together for a good while, and you can see it on the park.  We are playing way better than we were this time last year.  The goals are coming from all over the park rather than mostly just Morelos and Tav for penalties.

It’s pretty amazing how much can change in just over a month

 

This is why I now try never to make bold predictions or statements, of any kind

They've all grown together as a unit. Tav, Goldson, Barisic, Kent, Kamara etc have all matured and settled along with the manager and his staff. Winning this league would be all the sweeter knowing we've literally built this from scratch and pulled ourselves up our boot laces. We dont need the CL riches to be the best side in Scotland. We've got a family and that's something their super secret giant transfer kitty doesn't buy.

TL;DR Gerrard's the daddy
