Our biggest problem in the squad just now is no creativity in the centre of midfield. We have no one that runs beyond the striker, when the wingers crossing into the box there is one man the striker in there and that’s about it. We can’t score goals. We need to get a better midfield with at least two of them creating especially when playing the lesser teams with low block in spfl.
I don’t think PC is the man for the job no one can tell you what style he plays as we have none. Our rebuild needs a rebuild ?.
Weirdly enough when am writing this I am still strangely expecting a good performance tonight as we seem to play well away from home in Europe. Nice unbeaten in last 5 in the league 2 draws 3 wins so they are no mugs but I think a 1-1 draw is a good result tonight.

I think we might get something tonight as well. It's the league that's our biggest issue.
28 Nov 2024 16:31:18
Again i'll ask you storm, who do you want to replace clement as rangers manager mate ?.
28 Nov 2024 16:44:24
Nice have never lost in there last 11 game storm and they need a win tonight, we should also remember there higher in the French league than a team that spanked us.
28 Nov 2024 16:50:00
In the French league am meaning.

Bang on about the mf storm, no offence to raskin/ barron but we will win nothing with those 2 playing together there. Both of them are the same player no creativity, been saying this for months now. That's twice I've agreed with you today so am away for a lie down, something isn't right.

Just posted this, or a version of this further down.
PCs style, formation is 4-3-3 that rotates in to a 3-4-3. It's something he's tried to implement, but can't as the players we have available can't play it - something he's referenced in a number of interviews.
The 4 big blockers that's prevented this are;
1. Dessers - he cannot play in that system, both Danilo and Lovelace can and will eventually fill number 9 role.
2. Cortes, Matondo and Yilmaz injuries have meant we haven't had the options on the left to implement this.
3. We didn't sign a six capable of dropping I'm to a back 3 - he did try Barron at this at the start of the season, but it wasn't successful.
4. Sterling and Kasanwirjo constant injuries have meant we haven't had a RB capable of inverting - which is both their strengths and something that Tav just can't do.
As a result of this PC is having to set the team up 4-2-3-1.
Hopefully with Danilo and Cortes coming back, the aim is to get them both up to speed ahead of the final so we can actually start 4-3-3 / 3-4-3.

Sorry 10 games,12 games played 5 wins 5 draws 2 defeats only psg has less defeats they have 0 and they drew with them 5/ 6 games ago, Nice ain't no mugs and they need a victory tonight if we can manage a win that will be some result.
28 Nov 2024 17:16:49
Especially with poor players and a clueless manager.
28 Nov 2024 17:31:01
EHL I noticed that with Barron either in the season mate, missing injured lw's hasn't helped and some maybe not like hearing this but we have never replaced Lundstram, Clement is far from clueless like is repeatedly mentioned on here, so glad hearing this from someone coaching what he's trying to implement, cheers EHL.
28 Nov 2024 18:20:15
Meaning we've not replaced him with a capable player for dropping in between the cb's.
28 Nov 2024 18:40:29
Right so he can’t play his preferred formation so he persists with something that clearly isn’t working. He’s paid a lot of money he should be able to come up with solutions to beat teams like Kilmarnock and Dundee Utd. Constant excuses for him.
28 Nov 2024 18:56:15
Coops maybe check the last post you asked as I answered it there and I have told you at least 3/ 4 times that you have asked me before.
28 Nov 2024 18:58:21
Cheers Mystar I only seen the last 5 games in the league that’s only reason I posted that and did see they are above Lyon as well.
Bb4 hope you enjoy your lie down ? I am not a complete knob all the time ?.
28 Nov 2024 19:01:58
Don't think there was any excuses Wishy, just stating the rationale behind the persistence with 4-2-3-1.
28 Nov 2024 19:05:10
Probably got more football knowledge on his big toe than many fans have.
28 Nov 2024 19:18:50
So storm we can't get frank lampard now as he's now the coventry city manager ?.
28 Nov 2024 19:39:35
I never mentioned Lampard wouldn’t want him anywhere near ibrox coops to find the answer scroll down a page instead of asking the same question for the umpteenth time ?.
28 Nov 2024 19:39:41
EHL - good insight into the tactics??.
28 Nov 2024 19:40:24
I agree with you wishy.
