*****Rangers v Bayer Leverkusen*****

[LegendofCoop 17,483]

Impressed by the score, sounds like we played really well. 

Feels like ages since we last played, haven't really kept up with squad news. Is Yilmaz injured?

Plenty other criticism you could have of Gio. 

People slagging Gio for his English who can't punctuate English properly.

Kent was £7mil mate. Most of us were ok with that and look at the return on that investment. Tillman is 20. There’s only an upside to this. 

What return on that investment? He'll either walk away for free in the summer or in 4-5 years when if we offer him a new deal. 

The time to get big money for Kent has come and gone.

I've plenty criticism of him. His boring style of play, shite tactics, the regression of our fitness (which will have contributed to our injuries) and his boring pre/post match pressers.

Nothing to do with language, just that they were that "boring". How can that sort of manager inspire or motivate anyone is beyond me. He did seem like a decent guy, but it's not a decent guy we need, it's a manager that knows how to manage, aswell as being a decent guy.

I wasn’t criticising his grasp of the English language - more his mentality & defeatist attitude that he was satisfied that shit teams hadn’t scored against us 🤦‍♂️

Hopefully Mick Beale gets the best out of him. He’s got plenty of quality 

@Union Bears dae it.

Actually enjoyed that today, bar the cold! Tillman looked impressive. Devine looked a decent understudy to come off the bench when needed. Matondo had pace but what's the point in beating your man and delivering a ball to the opposition 95% of the time

He's so fast he out runs the ball half the time.

That’s my point mate. Sometimes you have to pay the piper.

He’s 20 mate. He’s not going to get worse. 

his performance levels previous have been poor, beale hinted it was gvb issue rather than tillman, let’s hope he proves that 

[theiconicman 3,012]

Was a decent game but for me that just reinforced what we knew.

Kent, Morelos, Kamara - look to sell in Jan

Sakala, Matondo, Wright - Not good enough

Jack, Arfield, Davis, McGregor - there time has come and gone, leave with best wishes.

 

Tillman will end up a good player, just not at Rangers.

jack was excellent today as well btw and matondo done fuck all wrong and mcgregor had one thing to do and his save was top class.

 

what was it you wanted these guys to do today that they didn’t?

Thursday to come and if we get out there and fire right in about them then I think we can destroy Hibs in no time, really over the moon about how it went today, so so much better.

[Rangers#1 5,480]

Matondo was v unlucky with his attempted curled shot into the top corner, two players on him, he done brilliant holding them off trying to make space to get the shot away.

Didn't see the 2nd half so don't know how Alfie played. 

I've nothing against Kent at all, never been his biggest critic on here by a long shot, and would like to see him stay if he wants to, and can pick his form up.

But - didn't look like he could trap a bag of cement in that 1st half I did see. I've seen him playing better and getting slagged to fuck on here. 

[Big Al 55 9,311]

Still hope Matondo can turn it around.

We need better than Sakala and Wright though 👍

Tavernier recovered well from that surgery he was getting after his injury 👀

Sorry, I still don't get the point? 

I don't see how Kent's situation is comparable at all to Tillman's?

Not having a go at you mate, but it astounds me how many still say this. Yes, Matondo was marginally better today, but the #1 thing professional football players learn is to keep possession. He either loses possession 90% of the time or throws in blind, hopeful crosses.

If we are going to play with our wingers more central, then Tillman can be effective from the right.

Matondo won't last under Beale.

He is a decent guy.

He will be heartbroken that things went wrong. Gio said in an interview when he left that he loves Rangers and that it was more than a job to him.

It clearly didn't work out for him, but I still respect him for trying his best and will forever remember him getting us to the Europa cup final 

Football is a cruel business, but I respect any manager/player who gives their all for our great Club.

Not going by anything he showing tbf, but it would be very strange to have had the monetary transfers he’s had and be that bad
