MacBoyd 5,438 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 How many last gasp equalisers have we conceded under Gerrard? It was something that happened early in his time and has never really stopped. When we are losing or drawing, how many times does a game just fizzle out with no real onslaught from us? We very rarely score late winners. Is this a physical, mental or tactical thing? The Ibrox Derry, Barasa, GA1972 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post King Jela 20,360 Posted October 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2021 Last season aside its been a constant danger under him. Hearts, Killie and St J all got late goals against us as well just before lockdown. Goldson and Tav have both reverted back to what they were before lockdown as well. Bombscares.

ElBufalo20 7,875 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 It’s dreadful from the team they just crumble late on at times. Even against Hibs they were the team with corners and dangerous free kicks in the last few minutes after we’d dominated. Its like the team see the time and panic MacBoyd and JCDBigBear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glory awaits 284 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 It all boils down to not taking chances in games, the best teams in Europe only 1 up in dying minutes will sit back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swagger 7,890 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Fitness levels seem an issue. Lundstrum ( who was superb most of the game ) seemed to hit a wall about 70-80 min. Not singling him out but just an example. If we can’t get a second goal there’s a high chance we’ll drop points JCDBigBear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right; even last season late goals conceded in Europe and domestically against St Johnstone spring to mind but these were sloppy mistakes. This season the team now sit back and stop pressing almost inviting crosses, runs and shots. Last season we could control most games by keeping possession, this season the tactic is sit back and hope. MacBoyd and Amokachi 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross-Gazza genius 1,902 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 There's a frailty about us this season where I always think we will concede 1 or 2 a game now, so we really need to be scoring 2 or 3 to win games which doesn't look likely either. For as poor as the players have been this season Gerrards decision making and team selections have been equally as bad. The substitutions yesterday changed the game to our detriment and it's been the story of our season with subs not making any impact(hivs game exception).

gmcf 34,093 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Its certainly an issue , we could see it coming yesterday and there was no reason for it , as I thought we'd played very well before that. But for some reason , if we're not a couple of goals up by 70 minutes , we look as if we decide to just hold on to what we've got , and invite the opposition on top of us . Fine if we're good enough to succeed , but we're clearly not , as its happened far too often .

That doesn’t matter. This is our buffer period, the easier first Q of the season went to us. We should’ve been 9+ points in front of them come mid November going into the hardest part of the season where we play all of the usual top 6 away from home, Livingston Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen and them. We’re making this so much harder than it needs to be, to the point now where I’d actually be surprised if we were top going into that run from 28th November to 2nd January.

On this occasion I would say it was a management thing the gaffer ripped the guts out of a team that was actually playing quite well apart from misfiring strikers. Yes his new signings need game time to integrate them but it's up to the management team to get the team playing well enough to create a platform for these lads to play not a top of the table clash with only a single goal lead.

BlueKnight87 17,281 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 We're failing to keep things solid at the back. 9 league games and we've only managed 3 clean sheets. We can't look to grind out 1-0 wins conceding goals like we have been. The other issue for me is we are sitting too deep. We aren't pushing up enough and making things difficult for the opposition late in games. Just letting them come onto us. That's an issue with tactical instructions and fitness. gmcf, JCDBigBear and HG5 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

superallysbears 7,572 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 The team have been trying to do just enough in games this season, alot of the time as soon as we score we start trying to cruise it, it'll work some of the time but it's already caught us out twice at Ibrox, There's been changes implomented and we've become poorer for it imo.
