Rangers Banter Archive December 20 2018

 

Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


20 Dec 2018 17:11:10
Think from last year (got to remember this) we have came on a ton.
This window will allow SG to asses and add value, every signing and loan is always a gamble, calculated but a gamble.
The only two things I'd like is:
More a shoot on sight, take a gamble! Sg was known for banging them in from range surely he should be saying to his team.
Second m, stop with the Centre half's! Every well it's a different pairing. which doesn't help Connor!



20 Dec 2018 18:30:13
We definitely ain’t shot shy this season.



21 Dec 2018 08:51:30
Dee from outside the box we are extremly shot shy. always trying to walk it in.



21 Dec 2018 13:36:38
He only said shot shy nowhere did it mention where the shots coming from. So no we aren’t afraid of shooting.



21 Dec 2018 14:36:56
Are we better than last season or is it because others are doing worse?



21 Dec 2018 17:03:09
Eastcoast: I think it’s a bit of both mate.



20 Dec 2018 17:05:36
Can we lift the roof at Ibrox in the next two home fixtures please. If it wasn’t for the BF1 the place would’ve been like a morgue against Aberdeen and Hamilton. If we want it to be a fortress to be feared we need to raise the level of vocal support and put the opposition under pressure. I know we will do it against them lot but we should be generating similar levels of passion in every fixture.



20 Dec 2018 22:03:11
Have to admit troops, I had a stinking hangover at the Hamilton game. Work night out. Think half of Ibrox was in the same boat. :)



20 Dec 2018 16:37:50
Can i just pose a wee question to my fellow bears out there? How many of you think that Tav would make an outstanding attacking RM?



20 Dec 2018 17:18:14
Not for me. final ball more a bit hit or miss.
Unfortunately more miss.



20 Dec 2018 17:28:39
His delivery is shocking and part of an attacking RM is to cover the RB. As good as it sounds it just wouldn’t work.



20 Dec 2018 18:24:59
I think Tav is a great RWB glad he's playing that for us.



20 Dec 2018 19:23:57
He's not.



20 Dec 2018 22:31:07
here here frustrated blue! i was going to reply the exact same 😂.



21 Dec 2018 09:04:39
Delivery nowhere near good enough so not for me.



20 Dec 2018 16:04:41
I know I will get pellets for this but we are missing josh windass a bit he wasn't the best player but did score a few goals and at the moment we're struggling for goals. Last night I thought we were brilliant and hope we can play like that week in week out.



20 Dec 2018 16:07:05
Pelters.



20 Dec 2018 16:35:11
Not from me. Said in the summer I thought it was a mistake as we have no other midfielders who will get us 15 to 20 goals a season. Sometimes wasn't in games but his scoring record from midfield was excellent.



20 Dec 2018 16:55:19
No we are definitely not missing Windass!



20 Dec 2018 18:36:38
Probably the most misguided post of the season so far, excluding supercooper.



20 Dec 2018 19:25:59
Don't think it is lads. windass was a scapegoat for the fans, much like tav now. He would have banged one in last night.



20 Dec 2018 21:14:04
I only brought it up as we’re looking for goals from midfield and windass scored a lot of goals.



21 Dec 2018 00:23:38
I totally agree with windass chipping in goals from midfield it would have helped Alfredo. He could have played the no 10 role. He was a young guy but atleast he would have ran at defenders and not played constant side passes. I may be wrong and grezda may come good eventually but I would have rather had windass in the team than him at the moment.



21 Dec 2018 01:08:15
Bang on a more worthwhile luxury than grezda. Think it might be a regret in the future. Ability was undoubted.



21 Dec 2018 07:54:24
Windass traditionally struggled in the games where teams Sat deep and squeezed the space.

We need that no10 who can unlock those tight defences. It's the key signing and worth spending cash to get it right.



21 Dec 2018 08:55:09
for the money we got for Windass we should have kept him. Wasnt his biggest fan but the stats speak for themselves, the kid gave us goals

right now i'd settle for a midfielder who could bag in 1o-15 a season even if were posted missing for games.



21 Dec 2018 10:07:50
We miss windass? Lmao no we don't.



21 Dec 2018 14:13:14
Coldo people are moaning about goals from midfield windass scored plenty we do miss his goals that’s all I’m
Saying.



21 Dec 2018 19:48:45
We don't miss windass, that's all I'm saying allan.



20 Dec 2018 13:37:32
It's been a strange few days, I came away from Sunday's game really frustrated about a victory that saw us go top of the table, then last night I came away absolutely delighted even though we dropped 2 points and lost top spot. I thought we were excellent last night and but for a wee bit of luck and some better officiating we would have got a well deserved victory. I honestly thought last night was one of our best under Stevie G and if we can keep that level up we will not be far away. On a side I also thought it was Couilibally's best performance in months .



20 Dec 2018 15:33:44
Cambiger, I said that to my son as we watched last night, coulibaly looked better further forward than he has done for a while, more influential in their half than he has been in our half lately. Maybe that's a better position for him?



20 Dec 2018 16:36:23
Scotty dog agree coulibally best game in ages, got forward well.



20 Dec 2018 18:25:16
Thought both Coulibally and Jack awesome last night.



21 Dec 2018 01:10:55
Jack is unreal. Wins the ball well and moves it on quick. Coulibaly is a work horse and I know there's a place for him but he runs with the ball at his feet with tunnel vision. If he lifted his head last night a couple of times we would have had good opportunities to score. Still fancy him in a square go with Porteous but.



21 Dec 2018 06:17:54
Obviously like yourself Ibrox J, i've always sang the praises of ryan jack! Would always be starting in the rangers midfield for me. He's of similar stock to kevin thomson IMO!
Jack has been immense under stevie G. He does what it says on the defensive midfield tin, ie. wins the ball, to start our moves off, keeps the ball continually moving, with his crisp, accurate passing, to our more offensive midfielders and wingers and our lone striker alfredo of course!



21 Dec 2018 08:08:56
Is that a relative of the celtic biscuit tin coops? 😉😂.



21 Dec 2018 10:16:18
Here we go, jack now being compared to kevin thomson. That will be jack cursed now.



21 Dec 2018 14:55:23
To be fair coldo, Jack very much reminds me of Thomson so i think that's a fair analogy.



21 Dec 2018 19:53:35
Does he seeker, must be true then. How's mckay getting on?



22 Dec 2018 08:38:41
McKay getting on fine by all accounts coldo. How's big Laff doing?



23 Dec 2018 19:55:35
Scored a couple of crucial goals seeker. Mind the one away at villareal? what's mckay done in Europe apart fae go on holiday?



20 Dec 2018 11:41:01
What we would’ve done for a goal scoring no. 10 last night popping up late in the box to snatch a winner. We need this position addressed in the window. If McCrorie can find the form he showed last night consistently then that would be like a new signing, when our full backs charge forward he has the intelligence to drop back giving us a back 3 and not leaving us short for a counter attack. Time will tell how much business we can do but to get a no.10 and an alternative to Morelos must be the priority.



20 Dec 2018 11:02:17
I get that morelos works hard but for me I would rather have a forward that does he haw most of the game but when the chances come he takes them morelos misses too many and it costs us and ni i'm nit just blaming him for last night others where wasteful.



21 Dec 2018 01:13:48
Morelos the sole reason we had any chances, their defenders would've strolled otherwise. Think we would've had as many shots with a finished and f all else on the park like boyd? No got a clue. Best striker in the league by a mile not even a close contender.



21 Dec 2018 06:19:34
Morelos is that good he can make chances for himself, out of nothing!
The complete striker for me!



21 Dec 2018 08:00:24
Morelos is improving all the time. Brilliant at getting in front of defenders, now looks to be willing to take defenders one on one.

Looked unplayable Wednesday.



21 Dec 2018 14:57:18
Agree guys, i thought Morelos had some game on Wednesday. Very unlucky not to score at least once.



20 Dec 2018 10:18:51
Just seen a lovely tweet with a picture of a Hibs player shouting at Morelos while he’s on the deck.

The caption says “on your feet less than Fernando yah “pri*k”

What goes through peoples head sometime?



20 Dec 2018 09:59:50
I didn't see the game last night but just watched the highlights. How Morelos didn't score a hat trick I'll never know and we should have scored five or six. Hibs should have had one red card for that horrible tackle and it was a definite penalty for hand (arm) ball. This inability to take chances could cost us.



20 Dec 2018 19:11:17
We should buy Porteus.



20 Dec 2018 19:27:05
Carthorse.



21 Dec 2018 01:16:13
How morelos managed to get a shot away inside the box I'll never know. Ratio looks bad, without him it'd have been 1 shot on goal maybe. All for opinions but to say Morelos coats us points is ludicrous. He's the reason were even close this year.



21 Dec 2018 08:36:57
Carthorse? Some of us on here with long memories will perhaps recall similar comment about Mr Tom Forsyth (AKA Jaws) .



20 Dec 2018 08:52:47
Sunday IMO is a critical game in the big scheme of things given they play Dundee at the midden on Saturday that's 3 points pretty much in the bag that would take them 4 ahead with a game in hand before we play St johnstone away on the Sunday we cannot fall further behind before 29th and we've hibs again before that! I think we need two wins out of next two
By the way did anyone think SG reaction to mcauley coming off was weird didn't offer a hand shake or even look in his direction maybe something or nothing.



20 Dec 2018 10:42:08
Didn’t notice that, seems strange. 3 pts is crucial on Sunday, gutted we never took the pts last night and really this is 3 tough fixtures coming up, Motherwell turned them over last weekend though so we can win and hopefully stick a few in the back of the net while we are at it.



20 Dec 2018 13:21:09
They would be 4 ahead having played the same number of games until we play St Johnstone.



20 Dec 2018 20:26:22
Why do we keep saying the next game is a must win or we need all points for December. SG said it its been like that since start of season. Every game is the most important game every game from start to finish. They are all must win games. We want to win the league. Whether its Dundee, Hamilton or Celtic all are important. When have we ever said, 'dont really need to win the next game or ah December isn't that important'.



20 Dec 2018 20:29:51
Never noticed that Dlc.



20 Dec 2018 07:36:04
I thought this game was going to be close folks but we dominated almost from the start. We seem to single out particular players as an excuse for not winning but the fact of the matter is we can't score goals. Our midfield are not creative enough but are defensive and solid if that was the style we required. For me, we need a CF with a Hately style and at least 2 attacking midfielders who can burst into the box and have a go. We are SO close but just lack some essential qualities to put teams away.



20 Dec 2018 08:31:33
Tactics were bang on last night just the quality and decision making were poor. Very frustrating game. They did defend well and their keeper had a great night, officials got a lot wrong but that's not why we didn't win, we really should have pissed that.



20 Dec 2018 10:32:30
I text my mate last night and told him I think we may be under estimating how good SG actually is. Is it the players that can't implement the game plan? Last 2 games the scores could have been silly if we had that killer touch.



20 Dec 2018 12:21:04
Geared up for some counter attacking football last night but problem is we've got players who can't counter. Need to work on some quick one touch stuff as our players are slower than a week in the jail at getting that ball in the business end. Too many touches!



20 Dec 2018 20:25:33
Lads we look to be struggling to have the capability to have a player run onto a ball and hammer it towards goal from outside the box. Albertz style the MF look out of steam when they get to the edge of the opposition box.

I know Arfield from his time at Burnley and know a bit about the deal he was offered and apparently it was more than he was on at Burnley. The chairman of Burnley Mike Garlic thought he was just about past his best. I like SA would run through a brick wall for the badge.

But, I am not sure he is the player he once was Tav and Bara over the free kicks. I would have liked to see Bara take one or two he puts in some decent balls. Tav needs to step back let someone else’s try.



20 Dec 2018 20:30:12
Couldn't understand gerrards subs. We were dominating the game yet he stuck with 3 def mids? He took grezda off who had whittaker in his back pocket!? Candieas slowed the tempo everytime. He should have took off candieas and coulibaly for middleton and lafferty, with all our domination it would have been more attacking👍.



20 Dec 2018 21:26:13
Coldco, wrong as you can only use three subs. His first two subs were to replace the injured Arfield and McCauley.



21 Dec 2018 10:12:45
Wrong again jboy, he didn't have to take mccauley off to begin with. that's why its hard to understand his subs.



20 Dec 2018 05:29:38
I'm going to be in the minority here, but I think we need to replace Arfield. He doesn't create, and doesn't score. You need to do those things as the attacking midfielder. His shooting is laughable. but he runs around a lot so I'm sure there will be a lot of people who disagree with me.



20 Dec 2018 05:46:13
The reason i disagree with you Ted Rangers, is because scotty arfield has scored 6 goals from midfield this season. He also has had several assists, so to be perfectly honest mate, i don't know where you're coming from with this!



20 Dec 2018 06:16:30
Ted rangers I'd agree with you that airfield lacks creativity and real goal scoring threat as an attacking midfielder he might be better playing back a position. To back this up aye he scored 6 goals but had about 70 shots.



20 Dec 2018 07:17:53
I think he’s struggling a bit lately but I think the main problem is we don’t really have any other options in attacking midfield position
We need compatition for him

This window will be big for us but creative midfielder and striker have to be top of the list.



20 Dec 2018 07:21:02
Ive watched arfield lately guys and I think he is tiring early during games. He seems to be doing his best but he is not a regular goal threat. Plays his heart out though.



20 Dec 2018 15:05:07
Nonsense- the games we have struggled to score is when he has been out injured or suspended . I knew when he came off last night we wouldn’t score . He’s the runner from midfield that goes beyond the striker - agree we need to sign another to give co we / competition.



20 Dec 2018 20:31:17
Arfield bossed the game last night! What you on about? 👍.
