We need leadership right now

[The Specky Forum Organiser 65,838]

Top to bottom.

Stand up and be counted Rangers. On the park and off it.

Pinning our hopes on keeping Jack and Ramsey fit. If they stay fit our midfield is a totally different proposition.

There is none mate 

our club captain is James Tavernier 

our vice captain gave up at half time v Hibs

what can we expect from others when they’re our 2 leaders?

Pinning hopes on 2 injury prone players is the Rangers way.

[mitre_mouldmaster 21,509]

We need to fucking play different.

Everytime they passed the ball, they ran forward.

We are completely fucking static.

Pile of absolute shite.

Sadly that's as likely as Gio doing the double. 

Jack can't stay fit and Ramsey has had next to no game time. 

We need players like Kent, Tav, Barasic to find the form of last season but it isn't going to happen now.

When your club captain allows a player to get goal side of him from a throw in and get a cross in unopposed for their 3rd goal you are in trouble.  He has form for that.

Along with Barasic , they are the 3 biggest shitebag losers at the club. We are winning fuck all with these 3 clowns at the back.

I somehow cannot imagine our captain and even our manager raising their fuckin voices. I just cant. Goldson can to go West Brom. Give the armband to Jack. 

[steven33jackie 1,971]

Good luck finding leadership with that lot. Ryan Jack maybe, but his fitness means we can't rely on him to play Thursday - Sunday. 

[bluenoz 31,181]

After tonight, I would strip James Tavernier of the captaincy and give it to Ryan jack. A captain leads by example.

Some will say this is a knee jerk reaction but it should have happened a year ago.

There is no fluidity or cohesion to our play. 

[SkylineBlue 24,159]

We also need some sort of philosophy. Say what you want about Postecoglou, but there's a clear philosophy that he's imposing on his team.

[Assegai 8,461]

One of tonight's learning points, if Jack's fit he plays.

Nope. 

We set up like a team who hasn't played with each other before. There is no press, no fluidity... Nothing. 

In a game like tonight you need to play as a team and control the ball... We are miles and I mean miles behind them in that respect. 

The football we are serving up now is abysmal and if he can't move on from the defensive set up he needs to walk. 

[five stars 1,727]

Jack was the only one who showed leadership tonight. Maybe McGregor too.

[AGM_72 3,724]

Don't think Gio has the character for it.

[the old guard 2,350]

Give jack the arm band and if tav goes in a Huff then so be it, his performances don't merit being the captain of Rangers, he certainly doesn't lead by example and his dead ball set pieces are atrocious.

Jack will be getting it by default next season imo. Don't think there will be many left.

I said this in the match thread but what do people expect with Tav. The majority of his career with us he's shat his pants or actively gave games away against them. He's had maybe four or five good games against them. Majority of them in one season.

A huge amount of this squad don't know how to back it up year after year. Loads of them talking about Last Dance pish last season. It's amazing how many people have forgotten in ten years what a Rangers player and a Rangers captain is.

Watching Barisic break away towards their half, encounter a defender, stop, turn and play it all the way back. The way to get at them was to go for it, Kent on the right Diallo on the left, hit the byeline, cut backs, drilled crosses, anything just to be more direct. We showed none of that, no urgency, no fight.

The big question is: are the players the reason for this and not listening to the manager or is the manager to blame and the players following instructions.

Anyone could see you don’t sit back against them, so we set up to sit back and contain and concede in a matter of minutes. Granted if Arfield had got onto the end of the through ball and made it 1-1 it could have been a very different outcome, but the general apathy and lack of fight is a real concern.

We were all laughing at him, but the truth is hes got maybe 70% of his 15-16 signings spot on and he makes his team believe that they can do things on the pitch. And belief is something that we do not have right now.

When Tav leaves I'll thank him for the good times but I'll not miss him.

By the looks of it he has created not only a team but a full squad of quality players and got them playing as a team
