ElBufalo20 8,167 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Our next game is potentially in the champions league on Tuesday.

MadSasa 245 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Not convinced by GvB and don’t have any confidence in him turning things around but the players don’t escape criticism either along with our DOF who’s signings have for the most part been terrible.

Gio's system tends to work in Europe. He should have pushed for more funds though. We essentially stepped up a league with some hopeful signings without only one capable of performing at that level. The domestic results are down to him though. The taigs aside, we drop points to diddy teams which shouldn't be happening. Just about every Bear is losing confidence in him. I don't want him sacked but as we say in Glasgow "he needs to buck up his ideas". MadSasa 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 The last 2 performances, particularly Wednesday night had all the hallmarks of players phoning it in until the manager they don’t like is gone. I don’t see anyway a manager of Rangers turns around 2 consecutive 4-0 defeats, regardless of the standard of opponent. The board won’t sack him now because they are indecisive and rudderless, they’ll let it roll on until things get completely untenable, but it’s now just a matter of when, not if.

docspiderman 1,314 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Many reasons for our dire performances this season; Weaker in goalkeeping, and central defence, midfield and upfront losing Leon B,Calvin B, Joe Aribo and missing Alfredo. The replacements are far below their standards. McLaughlin has slow reactions, poor decision making and positioning and does not seem to boss his defenders. We have lost height, strength and players willing and able to attack high balls when defending. We have lost the ability to hold the ball and create which Aribo did so well.Colak will score in the box but does little else. However with this in mind why do we no longer play the high press? Why zonal marking when we have lost the height and strength of Joe, Leon and Calvin? With smaller players we need them touch tight to effectively defend corners. Why is our play so painfully slow and why does the first instinct a pass back no matter in which area of the pitch? Are the players plied with sleeping pills before the start which makes them dose off at all opposition throws and set pieces because even after Saturday it was happening on Wednesday. Recruitment is a large part of the problem but coaching decisions, tactics and lack of fitness and sharpness seems more so. Zappa6995 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long do you reckon they’ll let him go on for? I’m actually hoping he makes the decision to leave himself as if he doesn’t, it’s frightening to think how long this board would take to make it for him.

Got a month to get the new guy in and settled. Fair chance we don't play a game till after the international break now. I think that's saved him tbh because I didn't see us beating Aberdeen or napoli. He's been given some unexpected breathing space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what frustrates me. He'll continue on until the league looks/is completely out of our reach. If we acted now, there's plenty of time to salvage things.
