99% chance there is Euro football after Christmas.

We lost to a good team today, but we aint coming 4th in the Europa group.

I honestly don't have that confidence. Unless we get an incredibly favourable draw 3rd isn't a given.

I was going to find it tonight but feel too depressed, but I remember you quoting me when we were linked with Lammers & Dessers. 

I said I was worried at us spending most of our budget on two players, who on paper, look shite. 

You agreed.

How can we see this sort of stuff, so easily, but the Manager is willing to put his job and between £6 million and £8 million on it?

I actually think it's all salvageable.

If we get a competent manager.

Danilo benched, Lammers benched, and Dessers was garbage for the majority of the 2 legs. Some look when you’re spending 12+million? On them.

The issue isnt just the front line

We've lost 10 goals in 4 euro qualifiers so far, and without butland it could have been more 

How we are still playing with 3 of a back 4 who were shite years ago in CL qualifiers is beyond me

We’d have to really fuck it up not to be in Europe after Xmas, 3rd in EL drops down to Conference league knockouts

I honestly don't believe that's outwith the realms of possibility.

[The Archer 1,213]

We left it too long with Gio we shouldnt make that same mistake again

You werent happy with Gerrard during 55 and Europa matches? 

Yes in spells actually but overall had some doubts the way through.

The players were all decent at previous clubs. We were raving about the links.

I wasn't. I was excited about Danilo. I couldn't get my head around Lammers or Dessers.

I don’t disagree. Especially when you see the goals, but it’s worrying as fuck that he’s spent that money, and he’s not trusted two of them in our biggest games, and really, he’s not exactly trusted them at all.

We’re pot 1 seeds in EL, that means w there’ll be some dross in the group from pot 4

[Blue72 1,169]

Neill McCann sums it up well on radio - Rangers fans turn up to Rangers not knowing at all what style ‘Michael’ is going to put out.  Absolutely true, we’re really lacking identity and a clear plan so no wonder the players are toiling st times.  Hopefully it clicks soon 

[BlueKnight87 17,444]

Just feels inevitable with Beale. We've seen this story before.

Another game where it was clear as day to everyone that changes had to be done at HT and he waits until the game is gone. 

We've spent millions on 3 forward players with 2 not good enough to start tonight. 

He's fucked up being reliant on the same defence that has let us down over and over again.

I understand this. I have no confidence at all in Michael Beale. I think he's more than capable of fucking it.

Pot 2 mate

[Somemightsay7 2,573]

The summer's been horrendous.

It made no sense that we signed 4 strikers and no width whatsoever. It made no sense that we didn't improve the defence at all. It made no sense that we signed no one with any pace. A blind man could have seen this.

Lammers scored 2 in 33 last season. Sima scored 5 in 34. Dessers got 6 in 26. Tavernier scored 3 more than all of them combined. 

Surely you look over at the other side of Glasgow and see that they have won treble after treble built around strong wide players and pace, but instead we go narrow and slow?

The damage he's done with his signings is horrific though.

 

Fuckin spot on. 

[Loyal72 12,226]

 

 

[DeanMK 4,807]

Got a long way to go to convince me he's capable of being the main man at a club. Good coach (allegedly) but his signings, team selections, tactics and subs have been absolutely scatter-gun at best. Don't think he has a clue what he's actually doing.

[CoplandStandBear 995]

That could've been 8 or 9, he just isn't up to the job. We can spot when a player is no good but a manager is always absolved with 'coming good'. He isn't going to cut it.

[Clemdog 39,389]

Just so it’s on record, again, I think he’s a pleb. 

Sitting in Ibrox whilst Gio was still manager but under scrutiny. Going on podcasts claiming him and Gerrard would have won the League Gio lost. 

I never wanted him and this Season has already confirmed my thoughts about him - an egotistical narcissist. 

[B1872 21,111]

Guaranteed he’ll be trotting out excuses soon about how we’ve broken even in the transfer market. Even though he came out and said we’ve got our biggest ever budget. Guy is a fucking walking contradiction. 😂

[DiamondDan 2,386]

"The problem is at the other end (the defence)"

So why you only signed 2 back up defenders?

[Sparkle 53,872]

Often wonder what Gerrard thinks of Beale 

[Swagger 8,355]

He’s brought this shite in. 
 

He’ll go in a few months with a big pay off 

 

We rebuild again

Probably thanks him for that short period Beale made people think he was a good manager.

Same here but it's just groundhog day until we find a manager who can actually get a tune out of players, or decide who the fuck we're buying are actually any good. There aren't many of them around and if we found one he'd fuck off in a second for a better league.

It makes me miss Walter Smith more and more
