I see bilbao made a lot of changes to their lineup tonight. I wonder if he's getting any stick for it? Bf was in an impossible position pick the same guys and any get injured he's criticised or do what he did and again criticised.
13 Apr 2025 20:32:30
Damned if he doesn't n damned cause he did OWS?.
13 Apr 2025 20:37:37
I'm not critical of the fact he made changes.
I'm critical of the fact he made so many changes to personal, a change to the system and played so many players out of position.
13 Apr 2025 20:40:47
Ows many players that started their last league game before they played us they never started against us, got thier number keeper in tonight he's in the Spanish squad, the keeper that played against us has only played in the Europa this season.
13 Apr 2025 20:43:56
He done the right thing. Can't fault the players too much as hardly any of them have played much recently. Hilarious that the sheep could not beat us from 2 nil and 10 men. Especially the last minute goal and the ensuing crying from shinnie, what's not to like.
13 Apr 2025 20:59:52
EHL I agree with your assessment.
BF rightly made sweeping changes but it could have been so much better.
Kelly
Hutton
Rafa (I know he got injured)
Nsiala
Jefte
Nail
Diomande
Mccausland
Curtis
Cortes
Danilo.
13 Apr 2025 21:02:20
I'm not against the changes with Thursday in mind, kinda agree with your thought earlier EHL, that a few tweaks may have made it easier for those asked to go out their comfort zone.
13 Apr 2025 21:11:19
That should read Nsio.
13 Apr 2025 21:26:27
Listen it's irrelevant what happened today. Absolutely irrelevant.
Barry done the right thing.
We never lost the game.
Job done. Onto thursday.
We're always so much harder in our own people.
How many managers have failed to get this club o. The right track now and we just keel blaming the gaffers. Now it's Barry's turn.
Maybe look at the board, the dof's the whole football dept and set up. But no let's blame the interim gaffer who's doing his best with a squad he had no say assembling and u can be sure he wouldn't have signed many of them if he did.
Pathetic man. Rangers fans never happy.
European quarter final on Thursday and we're complaining. .
13 Apr 2025 21:42:42
Stevie EHL is a coach. Coaches job is to analyze and find where improvements are needed.
For myself it is the same principle in business.
13 Apr 2025 21:48:19
Star they didn't start either of the Williams brothers or the big striker Sanet or 2 of there regular midfielders so there 5 straight away.
13 Apr 2025 21:50:03
Stevie I agree with what yiu say mate and Ehl i take your point as we said during the match. Onto thursdsy and let's hope we get as much passion as this site generates at times.
13 Apr 2025 21:50:22
Who's complaining Stevie?.
13 Apr 2025 21:53:13
Same midfield two cm that started the league game before us ows.
13 apr 2025 21:55:07
personally 8 had very little concern about today, it was like a dead rubber to me, meant zero, and a ver6 importan5 g@me ahead, i'm pervectly happy with the outcome anddelighted nobody was injured, bit pissed off we were so poor but it was a poor game, my attempt at suggesting we were brilliant earlier went straight over tbe head of a couple but heyho, it was a terrible game imo
but we have bigger fish to fry.
13 Apr 2025 21:56:43
Ows Janregizar and Prados that played tonight and the last league game are the best two cm they've got mate.
13 Apr 2025 22:03:03
Correct TT?.
13 Apr 2025 22:37:14
Fork a helluva lot of posters on here are complaining today. I've been on the site all
Day reading everything mate and a helluva lot of complaints on here about Barry. His selections his tactics saying he's surely out of the running now and so on.
If anything today is a plus for
Him not a negative.
13 Apr 2025 22:40:02
Asathor. There's a helluva alotnof analysing to be done in that team mate and the one we play every week. The so called first team.
Ehl. H have your work cut out analysing this bunch that's for sure.
I'll repeat Barry is doing a good job with not so good tools to do it with.
13 Apr 2025 22:52:53
For me I'd liked to have seen us line up 4-3-3
Kelly
Hutton - Proper - Nsiala - Jefte
Curtis - Barron - Bajrami
McAusland - Iga - Cortes
Everyone in their actual position and only Jefte risked (where we have Ridvan as cover) .
Failing that, keep to the 3-5-2
Kelly
Fernandes - Proper - Nsiala
Hutton-Curtis-Barron-Bajrami-Jefte
Iga - Danilo.
Instead we went 3-4-3 and played a midfield two of Baron and Bajrami - which should be a criminal offense.
14 Apr 2025 03:49:30
Cant argue with that Ehl. I'd agree with u. But not the first manager to make a mistake, won't be the last. We all, or most of us, wrote the game
Off, expected to lose… he got a point. Surely that's a positive. Also tactically aware to do that with 10 men and from 2-0 down. There was positives.
14 Apr 2025 05:53:15
I agree with that ehl the formation was daft and playing players out of position.
14 Apr 2025 09:38:36
Threw a couple of youngsters under the bus by playing them out of position and no experience near them to talk them through.
And if the game was irrelevant / dead rubber etc then and we didn't want to risk them, why did we finish the game with a few first team starters to chase a result in a game that meant "nothing"?
Baffling.
14 Apr 2025 09:54:06
Ehl, you are correct, but it matters how exactly? The league is gone.
Tell me what team you would have put out if you were resting the same players like he did for Europe?
It's not that easy, the squad is kind of bare for certain positions. Let's see what his lineup does Thursday before being too critical.
And besides he still got the draw with 10 men. better teams have gone to Pittodrie and lost.
14 Apr 2025 11:02:01
Forever, have already posted how I would have rested the first team whilst giving the reserves a better structure to play in.
It matters because we are Rangers and installing a winning mentality should be in our DNA - I don't accept that the game yesterday was a dead rubber.
If we win on Thursday I'll happily praise him, but it won't change the fact that I think he got it wrong yesterday.
14 Apr 2025 12:58:59
I agree he got it wrong. But doesn't deserve the flak he's getting for it.
15 Apr 2025 07:38:29
Ehl money talks in the modern game and bilbao win is certain worth more and gives us a better chance of winning league next year with extra revenue.
15 Apr 2025 07:39:29
I never seen you team lineup?
I seen you talking aboutbplaying guys in right positions but that would mean playing more of the squad he intends to play in europe.
