Can you not agree with every point made but still expect better from the manager? 
Can we not demand better from the board and from the manager? 

It’s not a lack of CEO or an incomplete sports bar that makes Clement ask John Souttar to hoof high balls up to Scott Wright and Ross McCausland.

The board decided to keep Danilo on the bench on Tuesday and move Propper up front

Hopefully the limping 6mil man makes an appearance today! 

Cup game hopefully get a decent performance out the team for 90 mins  

[The Ibrox Derry 9,221]

In fairness, all of Clements signings are doing well

[bluenoz 32,410]

No complaint with the line-up and all the subs played a role. Even Davies did his job.

I've been on the big man's back lately, but he deserves some credit today.

[WWTC 2,460]

Our best players seem to be the ones he’s signed. 

[graeme_4 37,467]

No real complaints today. Thought we played quite well.

That is a very grim insight into your life

Be delighted if I had those options

Fuck knows how or why we’ve gone from some of the worst hoofball I’ve ever seen, to fast paced attacking football on the deck, but seen a major change the last two games.

Much more ‘style’ about us. Inverted fullbacks, wingers high and wide, midfielders getting forward. Clever runs from Dessers.

Keep it up, and we’ll be in a much better place.

Just watched the game now. We played well and had it under control. Some good goals. Nothing to complain about, really. Hopefully Balogun is ok.

He read me and him were about to have a big falling out

Hope it stays like today

Fourth goal today was a great example of how you can play direct football without it being aimless lumped long balls.

Similar to the goal against Kiev.

I think he's trying to put things in place piecemeal rather than throwing everything at the players all in one go.

I honestly can't remember the last time I enjoyed watching a Rangers side like I did today. Gerrard's football prioritised tactical discipline too much, Gio's prioritised possession too much, whereas today we were focused on good movement.

The rotations we do and how we find space are really good. We are starting to play short when we need to and direct when we need to. 

[King Jela 21,613]

Said it in tthe match thread, but I think that's been coming. He clearly is doing work behind the scenes. 

Just need to be patient, IMO.

[JackAlex93 12,502]

Pleasing to hear his comments about it being a busy week with more incomings than outgoings. Hopefully strengthen the squad 

[OrangeRab 3,382]

Enjoyed how much both Matondo and Cerny got to the back post today. Even the one Matondo hits the bar, Cerny was waiting for a tap in.

Something we haven’t seen regularly enough from our wingers for some time. 2 goals for Matondo just from getting into good positions today.

Apparently it’s the first time we’ve scored that many goals in a game since Motherwell in October 2021, and the first time we’ve won by that big a margin since the 8-0 against Hamilton during the 55 season. It’s literally been years since we’ve won that well.

The big positive for me is that we scored goals which were very similar to the kind Clement’s Brugge side used to score, which also happen to be the kind of goals Celtic score against us in almost every OF game (run to the byline, cut it back). It’s simple, but it absolutely kills teams in Scotland.

[The Ibrox Derry 9,221]

I don't think he's getting an easy ride, rather the opposite.

What I'm encouraged with, is that his signings are all doing really well.

Very promising.

Let's not forget, he massively improved the inherited deadwood last season from October to March, before it just petered out.

In his defence, big name players just shat the bed again, which was something that was not unique to just Clements tenure.

Very encouraging. So much more effective than the deep crosses from Tav (albeit he did get an assist that way).

This. Makes defenders think twice. We have been far too predictable for years. 

[Gascoigne's Flute 332]

Very encouraging signs after yesterday's display, that's the sort of performance I expect from a real Rangers team. But let's see how we do against the filth before we get too carried away.

The Tavernier cross wasn't from deep, it's the willingness of Matondo to get into that position that makes both goals. Too often with the likes of Kent our wingers didn't come off the touch line, even when the ball is on the other wing.
