, we drew in first game v hearts at tynecastle, u would think we had lost again at county
hearts are a very decent team who regard o, aying v rangers, at they're home ground, to be a very high level game, one of they're biggest game in the calender,
we learned that dio doesn't seem to be getting what's required
matondo is a headless chicken
barron is going to be very good
lawrence and dowell are very bland and not exciting nor give enough
shankland as a player is on a different level to dessers, who is truly awful
clement needs to find a pattern to get through european qualifiers and must already win the next league game
we need a few more in but dropping a point at tynie is not a disaster believe me.

Shankland missed 5 attempts on goal.
Dessers missed 3 attempts at goal.
Shankland gave the ball away 17 times.
Dessers gave the ball away 7 times.
I would have thought that if Shankland is all that he would have caused more damage to one of the worst Rangers defences ( and team ) in years.
We need better than both going forward. IMHO.

Tom I'm surprised at the reaction, we knew all this before the game and people are stating it as if its something new.
It's a huge rebuild that's underway.
There's more to come in and more I hope to leave. It will not happen overnight no matter how much we want it to.
And before the usual suspects jump on, no I am not happy being second.
I am prepared to allow the change to happen.
Can't stand the league will be over by Xmas and PC won't last beyond Xmas stuff.
We all wanted an overhaul and that is what we are getting. Yes other players need to go but what do you expect PC to do if nobody wants them.

i watch football players mate, because i was one many years ago
i have zero interest in anyones stars, because they never, ever tell me a good player isn't a good player, I've seen some fantastic footballers with poor scoring stats, they were still great players, il stick with what i see ta.
03 aug 2024 19:07:32
and suddenly, ( for effect) , we have “ one of the worst defences and teams in years
if your going to use stats, be truthful m nowhere near the worst defence nor team in years, , , everytime you use stats you need to be spot on, not add things in to make you feel correct,
listen mate, i couldn't care less what you put up, that's up to you, i know shankland is on another level as a football player to dessers, in every aspect, stats included.

Not Dessers fan but far from the worst thing today, should of scored first half after doing the hard bit but unlucky with chance that came off woodwork, wide men didn’t make much happen and Davies got a bit of a run around from Vargas, hopefully the big Dutch defender makes us a bit less panicky at back.
03 Aug 2024 19:42:38
Shankland has played against rangers now 24 times and scored 5 goals. he's never been on the winning team against us in his whole career. Again today did nothing against us. He's a hearts player that's his level.
03 Aug 2024 19:45:45
Regarding the stats . Shankland was a lot more nvplvef. What about minutes on ball etc.
03 aug 2024 19:49:56
and just fir clarity
shankland created just about every attempt he had, mostly getting himself into space to take the ball, often running, twisting turning to get a shot at goal, different gravy.
03 Aug 2024 19:51:31
Good stats mph seems some people don’t like the truth on here.
Obviously you can’t see very well or you would have seen shanks give ball away a lot and miss 5 chances.
Also it was a horrendous performance and you were on here saying matondo was no bad.
03 Aug 2024 19:53:32
Hearts looked ready and 8pm for the challenge, with new players looking sharp, Wembley hadn’t players looking to pass back or sideways, slowing the game down, only the wee free midfielder Barron looked interested, Dessers William never be the answer for rangers, if you swapped the 2 no9’s we would have won imo . Things look bleak, but a few new signings would lift it, Tav needs to Be thanked and sold.
03 Aug 2024 19:58:54
Tom if we can't afford him what do you want PC to do. We don't have 5m for a 30 year old ooc next summer.
03 Aug 2024 20:21:58
Mr Potato those stats don’t tell it how it is, Dessers never shows for the ball so he is never on it enough to lose it, having watched the game Shankland was more involved and was playing a deeper role, and his chances were not clear cut more like half chances, Dessers created a great chance for himself and put it over the bar, and the header were clearer cut chances.
Added to that we put over a few decent crosses and Dessers not where he needs to be in the centre.
Anyone with eyes can see Dessers not the answer.

and btw, worst defence and team means worst manager,
wrong on all 3 counts.
03 Aug 2024 21:20:28
Same ? after every game about the same players, madhouse, same arguments, players defended who shouldn't be, players praised, who shouldn't be, nuts, can't agree on the colour of ? in here. IMHO.
