Popular Post born a blue nose 92,546 Posted July 27 Popular Post Share Posted July 27 Going to stick ma head above the sand here. That was a defensive shambles of a performance. Tavs chucked it, cortes doesn't fancy backtracking etc.. But a felt there was a lot of positives in that central midfield performance. The energy Connor barron and diomande gave to the middle of the park was brilliant, add to that the performance with touches, turns, passes etc, I'd be more than happy with they 2 together in there.

Has a lot to work on positionally/defensively but that's ridiculously harsh The player they have can do what he can do better, plus ball carry, carry a threat from shooting and assisting. No qualms about Barron as a squad player and given how pish the rest are he’s played his way into being a starter, but this is a drop in quality from where we were two or three years ago.

RossS1873 2,593 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Need 2 CBs, another RB, and a CF at least. Hopefully once Goldson, Hagi and fingers crossed Tavernier are away, it frees up the cash to get fresh bodies in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look like a team other teams will relish playing against atm. Desperately need a McLean type on the park asap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 77,457 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Two Centre halves, two absolute bastards, and a CDM are absolutely a must. The team is rudderless and needs a couple of leaders in there. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 25,562 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 We still need to identify a style of play, however given our absolute nightmare of a defence it can be argued that implementing a style is much harder when you have defenders unable to do it and not you first choice Balogun is a backup, no more, davies isnt good enough, souttar and tav have been called our for months/years as not good enough Every successful Rangers manager has had an absolute solid unit at the back to build on, or has built one themselves, clement didnt have one and hasn't had the chance to build it yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it’s a bit of both, but a good enough manager has the current players looking better than ours are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JockWallace 126 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 At the end of last season I thought we couldn’t get any worse. How wrong I was. I have no idea what the tactics are meant to be and clearly I am not the only one. The team look disorganised and don’t seem to know how they should be playing. They now have a week to figure it out. I can’t say that I am hopeful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
