Before the game almost everyone said it was a strong side and a sign Rangers were taking the competition seriously. McGregor, Goldson, Balogun, Tavernier, Kamara, Aribo, Arfield, Roofe, Kent, etc. These are regular starters for Rangers. You think playing these regular starters is a sign the competition is not being taken seriously? Strange. Where did I say they weren’t taking it seriously ? I’m saying you play your strongest team. Bassey was all over the place - you saw that the fact he was just about to be subbed before they scored. Gerrards selection cost us there simple as that.

MarcusDa Beasley 1,044 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Horrible that even after we scored I had that feeling back of us inevitably fucking it up when they pressured us right at the end. Really hope that was a one off. Just gives those cunts a glimmer of hope unless we smash another set of tarriers out the park on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused if he actually wants to win shiny things at this club. Treated the competition with sheer contempt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't have needed to put out our best team to beat St. Mirren. The team that was put out should have beaten them with out any issues. Problem was they didn't.

Some really let themselves down tonight. For me his big mistake was choosing Bassey when he wasn't ready. Bassey was targeted as the weak link to break down Rangers. Once that happened it broke up playing as a unit and all focus went. I'm glad Gerrard has taken full responsibility as the team need to regroup and focus on the rest of the season quickly. What's done, is done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcgregor was really unlucky at the third had the speed of thought to swing a leg after he had saved it but just missed connecting with the ball. Kent is ball watching and doesn't track the boy at the back post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said in games like tonight 'you don't fuck about' or that team selection "cost us". I've already pointed out to you that most of our team are first-team regulars. It was viewed as a very strong team prior to the match. It should be more than enough to beat the likes of St.Mirren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill8972 479 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Rangers boss Steven Gerrard says he knew his side "wouldn't win every game". "At times you're going to get a bump on the road," says Gerrard. "But the disappointing thing is we've missed a wonderful opportunity and we can't get that back. "We've got two choices now. We let it fester, linger and feel sorry for ourselves, or we accept the criticism that's going to come our way. "My job's to pick this group up now. We haven't felt this for a long time, so it's important we react in the right way." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIRB_72 4,048 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 That was dreadful tonight and we were totally complacent and sloppy. I said pre match it was a big night for Bassey, Zungu and Itten and they didn't show much and to be fair to them they weren't the only ones. Goldson was the only one with pass marks for me. A lot of people don't care about the League Cup but personally I do. We're fucking Rangers and we should be trying to win every domestic competition we enter and if celtic are eliminated then we should be winning it. Every Rangers manager in the last 50 years won a cup before they won a league (I include Walter in that too). Winning breeds winning, trophies give confidence and know-how to win more and this was a huge chance and we fucked it. I'm totally scunnered but I'm trying to see the silver linings here. First loss in 26 games and it was a cup match were the chances of a shock result are higher. If we go 26 unbeaten again we'll be alright. 13 points ahead in the league and by Saturday night it could be 16 and we've not had too many bad performances never mind bad results this season so is it a one off? Time will tell. For me let's get back to a settled back 5 of McGregor, Tav, Goldson, Helander and Barisic. It's undeniably our best defensive line up. Let's start winning by getting clean sheets and games like tonight wont happen! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
