*****The Official Rangers v Aris Limassol Match Thread*****

[Drunk and disorderly. 14,784]

Absolutely raging with Cantwell for their goal. He was showboating just 5 mins earlier and that nearly cost us a goal.

Does he think he's playing fucking Fifa? Showboating when it's 0-0 in such a big game!

Totally deserved the humiliation of being subbed so early. Grow up Todd!!!

Hate us. Aye okay mate.

I absolutely hate us from the bottom up.

This isn't the Rangers I knew.

There is a rot running through us, been like this for years. Interrupted with moments that make us forget but for years and years THIS now is what we are.

Fucking right I hate what I see now.

[Rangers_no1 33,237]

Another game and once again we have 8+ outfield players not showing up!

Cantwell was pish, but think it was a blunder from Clement subbing him over Lammers. I'd have shifted Cantwell central and put McCausland on for Lammers.

You may be right but I think Cantwell was not carrying out the gaffers orders 

[GlasgowRangers1983 461]

Absolutely rank rotten Rangers, pedestrian walking pace with a serve lack of effort and desire to take control of the game. Where are the leaders on the park this is watching Beale all over again. Far too many cowards in the squad for me, rocket at half time needed.

King can play Cdm, bit of a risk when we're chasing the game. 

I think we need to take risks, though. And our bench isn't the best. Cole McKinnon also probs wouldn't be the worst shout, but again a risk.

[The Specky Forum Organiser 67,079]

Hopefully punt Cantwell in January for some funds, it's not working and he's one of a few we could get money for.

[centenarystandman 23]

Major blunder talking Cantwell off  ...move him inside and get Lammers OFF .Manager looking a bit lost to me .

Cifu had a poor first half, wouldnt have been upset to see him subbed. Cantwell really has fell off a cliff this season. 

Still have faith we will come good in the 2nd half 

Cantwell unfortunately can’t handle being played out wide and doing what he is told to do by the look of it.

[Siam69 27,403]

Cantwell needs the kick up the arse the substitution was. If he responds like a huffy cunt, he can fuck off, gets paid enough to be Professional. Hopefully it's what he needs, though, he can be great on his day.

Lammers and Cifuentes will hopefully not come out the 2nd half either, with Lawrence, Matondo, Roofe whatever, on instead. 

Stop persisting with this shite, you didn't buy them, they're not working out. You've shown by bringing on McCausland when you did, you can be decisive, so keep doing it.

First cracks showing for Clement 

Should be doing everything he can to get the best out of Cantwell who has more ability than most of our squad combined rather than use him as a scapegoat while Sam Lammers and Cifu swan about running interference for the opposition 

He's been utter shite this season fucking bullshitter like his pal beale.

See looking back didn’t realise till that replay Cantwell dancing around rather than passing led to the goal. 

He tried that move earlier and fucked too.

[bluenoz 31,354]

speechless.

PC has an issue with Cantwell. He has stuck him on The right and never given Him a chance. 
 

Cantwell has issues but he is streets ahead of Lammers. Have to wonder if the coach feels the need to be the Center of attention 

Cantwell was playing for himself that first half, at least three times he could have offloaded the ball quickly but fannied about with spins and backheels and we ended up on the back foot.

[Broxi 11,754]

People still blaming Beale for tonight. Clement should not be bulletproof, he's made mistakes that go totally ignored. Aberdeen and now tonight have been terrible, and not the only poor performances under him.

Have confidence in him and not saying otherwise but he should be allowed to be criticised.

Need to see better in the 2nd half. Be a dreadful week to not capitalise against Aberdeen and then not win at home to Aris to qualify here.

Essentially the same as niko kranjcar. He's as good as a former top player who was utterly crocked and finished. 

Lammers has never been a top player. Still relatively young-ish and has had a garbage goal/assist ration for a few seasons now 

[STRUTH82 820]

Lammers and Cifuentes have been awful, but I can't tell how pleased i am Clement made an example of Cantwell, he's been really poor the last couple of months and he's one we look to for inspiration....you ain't at Norwich now son.

Don’t think Clement can be totally absolved of any criticism here btw. Was there anyone who saw Lammers and Cantwell starting who thought it was gna work. 

Agree ,bored now with managers thinking they can make a sows purse etc ,thought he was different, worried now.

[McEwan's Lager 31,087]

Cantwell was utter garbage and was deservedly hooked

On the players that... at least the manager has the balls to hook cantwell after 35mins.. beale would of never done that. Backing the manager but some of the players are a disgrace. Lammers, cantwell and cifuentes main culprits there!!

It's a big decision from the manger and your right beale would have waited 60 mins before changing it.

Don't agree but with cantwell coming off. Cifuentes and Lammers have been worse.

Don't see what Clement thinks lammers is bringing to the game. 

[MarzM 1,264]

Fucking awful half. Half that team are imposters....the other half are just plain shite!

I suspect Cantwell isn't good at following his personal orders in a game and goes off the reservation too much. I also suspect that is one thing Clement will not tolerate.

He'd rather have a lesser player eg Lammers who he can trust to play exactly how he tells him to.

At a loss at what he’s asking Lammers to do then.

Because he must have the fewest touches of a ball of any number 10 in world football. At least one in two passes he makes he absolutely fucks if not a higher ratio, particularly any forward ones.

He’s had two ridiculously bad efforts on goal.

It’s fucking infuriating Clement is playing Pammers there instead of Cantwell.

Enough is enough ffs.

We can still turn this around. I would be shocked if we don't win this 2 or 3-1.

Prepare to be shocked then.

[steven33jackie 1,972]

Starting 11 had this performance coming, no pace no width and Lammers starting, recipe for disaster.
