Butland Tav, Souttar, Propper, Jefte Barron, Diomande Cerny, Bajrami, Cortes Igamane 8 new signings and would then be his team. There would be no hiding places for him then. Drop Tav and bring in either Sterling or Kasanwijro and I'd be happy with that. We're definitely still a work in progress but Clement needs to do more to prove he is the one to complete it.

The lack of style is a complaint I still don't quite understand. His style is clearly a direct 4-2-3-1.

We played well for 15 mins today then lost our overall control, possession, impetus and style. 4231 is a tactical formation. It doesn't lend well to us creating the multiple chances we need to score enough goals to have breathing space in games. There's a place for it, but it shouldn't be the only formation. Today we (rightly) ran the ball into the corner, the game was never 100% ours until the final whistle. Lawrence scored the winner but was poor overall. Like with Dessers other weeks. Maybe it's just me but I prefer players who play well too, with the team improving so that we don't get fucked by better teams with the likes of Dessers and Lawrence being their usual shite and it costing us. But by all means be happy with the win and not care about anything else if that's your thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIRB_72 4,148 Posted Sunday at 17:48 Share Posted Sunday at 17:48 His unwillingness to play a centre back at full back, play a full back as a winger on the opposite side and the audacity to use a number 10 as a number 10 is extremely unnerving and very un-Rangers.

We clearly did in stages without the lions share of the posession. Mate, that is flat out incorrect. We've created countless chances using 4-2-3-1 and, as much as I like Dessers, we simply haven't had the forward line to make the most of opportunities. I agree he needs more variety and adjustments with his formations. I thought he was fine the rest of the game. Not a great game by any means, but I'll take a decent performance and a winning goal. Ideally we have 10/10's all over the park and win 4/5/6-0 every week. Reality needed though, Tannadice is a tough place to go and I'll take the hard fought, rough on the eyes win. Last part is just bitchy, passive aggressiveness. Hopefully the team reaches your staunchly high standards. Jimfanciesthedude 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers teams will always create chances over most teams in the league. If you think 4231 helps with that you're deluded. Their keeper today was hardly busy. Hard fought? It really wasn't. They were rank rotten we were better but couldn't get a second goal because of poor play outwith 15ish minutes first half, and some missed chances. Passive aggressive. Fucking hell 😂😂😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did we lose overall control of possession when we finished the game with 61% of the ball, no saves needed from butland and at HT united hadnt even had a single attempt on goal Second half was a bit closer possession wise but they still never threatened and at no point did you think "fuck a goal is coming for them here" I get we don't play well going forward for 90mins,absolutely no argument from me on that, wether it's down to ability mentality or physicality i dont know but theres obviously something there given that when we do show it, we actually look good But to say we lost our overall control is unfair on the team imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverAndEver 73,850 Posted Sunday at 19:00 Share Posted Sunday at 19:00 Wasn’t exactly a great performance. We won fairly comfortably, keeper had no saves and we should’ve had 4/5.

Yes, like most teams we create chances. Possession dominant and attack minded teams like the scum create most. 4231 isn't a formation geared towards creating loads of chances, more than standard, certainly not with our current personnel. One where we gave up possession, Co tril and dominance, and became on the while slightly better than a really shite opponent. It was more lacking quality than hard fought. Dry your eyes petal.

Passive aggressive 😂😂😂 Well describe what you mean by style if play? Playing direct football doesn't count as a style of play as much as possession football does? You're just doubling down now. Your first point was that we don't create enough, now it's we do create enough but that's expected 🤷♂️ we clearly do create enough, as today showed, and it's lack of quality in the final 3rd letting us down. Hard fought and hard on the eyes is how I described. There's nothing about your description that contradicts or even disagrees with my view. They were pish, but always dangerous, we were dangerous but lacking in quality. You're disagreeing over nothing tbh. Aye, passive aggressive. Pretty common personality fault with a lot of people in the world. You're not alone there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never threatened enough due to their lack of quality in the final 3rd but still had dangerous moments like the header a yard wide, the deflection past the post, a cross from the left a yard too far ahead of forwards. We're not playing well for having had a manager in place for approaching a year. We do show short periods of what we're capable of, too rarely unfortunately. Our overall control where our possession was over 80% was lost to it becoming far more levelled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
