About 5 I would guess, if that Who said anything about sacking him, he's on the cusp of winning 55, the sooner the better, however this is a forum for discussing the club, its results, players, everything, yesterday was shit against the bottom club in the league, its obviously going to be discussed until the next game See when we last won the league, people enjoyed it, but they also discussed the shite performances like losing at home to hibs and dundee united, thats what happens between fans Yesterday was shite, the last 6 weeks performances have been shite, the results have been good (funny as fuck as well) the start of the season bar two games was brilliant, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see Aribo deployed either as a sitting midfielder, he's often the advanced one of the 3. I've said Itten deserves his opportunity. The rest of your post is a waste of words tbh.

The first season aye, the manner of going out both cups to the sheep is still a sore one though, especially that ibrox home game, but yeah he was trying to build something Last season we were saved from a run in disaster by covid, lets face it the tarriers were likely gonna horse us at ibrox before the shutdown, As for the system, its not a hatred for it as such, its a hatred that we try and put square pegs into round holes when we have lost the round pegs that go in they holes, this is gerrards 6th transfer window and yet we still struggle when one or two starting players are missing, last season was morelos, this season its arfield and Jack, we chased zungu for so long it seems only to play aribo there instead when he is poor at it, Im fine with the same system when the players are there, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number5 2,106 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Level of performance has been poorer I'd say since the European campaign halted. We don't seem to be able to kick on like a few months back, the tempo seems to have dropped off. I'm hoping we can get over this period, we've managed to get the points so far without the performances, a few players up their levels and hopefully with Jack coming back it allows some more protection for others to venture forward? Would love us to get a couple of players in who could freshen it up, and ideally someone who could offer us goals from the midfield, as Arfield is a big miss. The amount of times we decline to shot from outside the box is frustrating, and when Aribo did they were shocking. Would love a genuine threat from distance.

Aribo is part of the midfield 3, wether he's deployed further up or whatever he clearly isnt playing well in that role, but he persists in playing him there Kent has been rotten for weeks barring two assists against the sheep, how he last 87mins yesterday was unreal, defoe for him should have been the sub As ive said the system is fine, its working when the players are on it, but two defo aren't yet they still play even though we have other options, why not try the other options Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 We battered them throughout the 2nd half but too many of our flair players had a very bad day. Can't fault them for effort though and we could easily have won the game. 2 points dropped but I doubt it will matter much in the long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Traive 22,684 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 We all worried about the January fixtures. Since Christmas, we’ve picked up thirteen points from fifteen, remain unbeaten and we’ve increased our lead, all without Jack and Arfield. We’re not exactly flying but let’s get a sense of perspective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason, there seems to be a generation of fans coming through (I don’t mean who you responded to) that have become so complacent and so used to mediocrity that they’ve lost sight of our history and standards. There’s this idea that by demanding trophies we’re somehow acting with a sense of ‘entitlement’ or that we’re ‘spoiled’. I’ll never understand that. We should never accept or concede a trophy to any other team. The club’s success has been built upon that stubbornness and expectation. Fair enough it doesn’t mean the criticism should then go overboard but any notion that fans are in the wrong for expecting silverware is so far out of touch with what Rangers is all about.

Getting the feeling that it's just excuse making tbh. Everybody's delighted with the way things are progressing in the league which is the #1 aim this season of all seasons, but still doesn't get away from the fact that our record in the cups is utterly embarrassing.

Hes playing poorly in midfield, my point was he's not a sitting midfielder. Agreed re Kent. I'm not adverse to others like Itten getting a chance. Defoe too in certain games. But Bassey and Zungu really disappointed in the cup. Others like Barker offer even less. Its tough when full backs so crucial to our system and the flair players dip in form at the same time as 3 kep players being out. We can't cope easily with 3 out and even more than that deserving to be dropped. So yeah bring itten in on Saturday, but no way should we change systems.
