ITS TIME--------to move Tavernier up a notch to right sided midfield--or replace aribo's position--the options we have are all out there ---but will gerard break protocol--in other words ---try something new.
03 Feb 2020 14:05:53
No, he won't. Same team, formation and tactics. Gerard said himself on Saturday that he's challenging Ojo, Aribo, and Kent to push on.
03 Feb 2020 14:07:29
Decree, try something new? You've hit the nail on the head. Gerrard needs to try something new because right now its broken and needs fixed. PS. I'm on Gerrards side, he's brought a lot to Rangers but we need a plan B .
03 Feb 2020 14:37:01
Dont agree with moving Tav. Play Hagi on the right. Tav will be far greater threat running from deep and open game up rather than already been up the. Horrible feeling going into tomorrows game and not even in the slightest bit confident. Crazy the change in mood from the winter break. Praying league not out if sight by time they come to ibrox.
03 Feb 2020 15:29:10
Katic can score headed goals why not move him out of position to striker.
03 Feb 2020 15:40:13
Watching Rangers before Christmas in the league and in Europe I really looked forward to it as we were playing good and getting decent results. Now that's changed, not enjoyable, no confidence - but we can only improve.
03 Feb 2020 17:25:47
We will improve, but how long will it take. Started poor against Stranraer and it's went downhill from there. We'll maybe improve quicker if SG makes changes, but I don't think he will.

Depman think mcgregor would make a better cf.

Plan A was working just fine up to and including the 29th December for all you ‘know it all’s’.
A wee blip where the full team haven’t been performing and the euphoria from the 29th has died down to be replaced by panic stations and calls for the managers head!

Tavenier to midfield! Seriously! It surprises me how little some folks know about the game. The midfield is crying out for a creative player, attack minded, able to open up defenses, create chances for others, make killer passes, eye for goal, decent striker of the ball, great awareness, intelligent player, I just don't see Tav as that man. In fairness to Gerrard, he is aware of this, and he is hoping Ianis solves the problem, we shall see, seems to fit the bill on paper at least. Those criticising Gerrard should remember he would love to go out and buy quality additions, but his hands are tied due to lack of transfer funds.

Pacman - this "wee blip" has came at exactly the wrong time. Unless Celtic hit one (and do we even think they will) then this wee blip will cost us big time. We need to snap out of it ASAP and that's why folk are floating ideas about. It is a rumour/ banter site after all.
03 Feb 2020 18:50:07
so, ok let's drop a defender who can defend and bring in a defender who can't defend but certainly can overlap and CAN create chances outside the box---yes, you certainly know your stuff muppet.
03 Feb 2020 19:37:10
Decree etc u guys need to have a word with sg.
He said be great to get tav back to his position and have the option to play Polster in midfield.
03 Feb 2020 20:00:15
John25 he also said it will be great having Tav back in the dressing room so that shows what 1 of the greatest captains in the history of football thinks of tavs leadership qualities. Funny how every time I’m on here I read he’s never a captain. Been sorely missed.
03 Feb 2020 20:29:41
Decree have you been drinking? you are not making sense. I did not suggest dropping a defender (I guess you are talking about Tav) . I said Tav is NOT the guy we need in midfield as he does not have the attributes to make a difference), I did not say drop him altogether. Read the post first before replying.

Fs deecee. The way we play we need tav and barasic as wing backs as the option wide for our inverted wingers/ wide attacking midfielders. When Kent comes inside and barasic overlaps it occupies the opposition players. It’s worked well so far this season. We’ve hit a blip I agree but we now have tav coming back and Morelos back too. If anything I think tav being injured has shown us all how much we’ve missed him at right back.
04 Feb 2020 13:39:10
The amount of folk who can't wrap their head around the system we play and why it is effective. Barasic and Tav play as fullbacks who push forward. the reason Tav is good pushing forward is because the space created by Aribo or whoever is playing on the RIF role. Our "Wingers" act as number 10s. On paper it looks like a 4-3-3 but in game we play as a 4-3-2-1 with the two wingers playing as CAMS almost with both fullbacks pushing forward on the overlap. If you move Tav forward he will be no where near as effective as he is at fullback. I would drop Kamara as much as i like him he really hasn't been playing well at all, i'd play polster in the midfield think despite the overall team performance and the result i thought he done himself Justice he looks as if he has a really good engine and could do a nice job in the middle.
