OK yesterday was frustrating but people severely over reacting.
Why do people continue to blame Tav? Ryan jack is playing like a 3rd CB now and him n kamara just didn't work. Jack hasn't become a bad player over night.
Yes we missed aribo. hagi has had a slow start this season,
Fk some people are even writing off roofe and Itten already 😂😂. its laughable tbh.
I seen a post and it was
We beat St mirren- wow
We beat St Johnstone -wow
1-0 v Aberdeen. is that not a win at one of the hRdest places to travel to?
Some folk find a negative in everything.
Also, folk blame Gerrard, for those of us who have played at a good. level, infact any level. We know that the set up we have should work v teams IF our big players play to their ability which yesterday too many didn't. So in my eyes its the players to blame, not Gerrard.
But hey ho that's just my opinion. no need to panic just yet. Both sides of the OF will drop points through the season.
17 Aug 2020 08:50:56
Utter pish kri55, you saw the difference when we went 442, proves the issue was tactical and not the players. Folk need to open their eyesðŸ‘.
17 Aug 2020 08:57:13
What difference Coldo? We didn’t score mate. Livingston played with a back 6!
17 Aug 2020 08:57:31
OK so explain to me how its Gerrard's fault if he changed it to 442 n it still didn't work? Lol your just ruining your own arguemrnt. Dnt hit me with utter pish either. Your prob someone who's never kicked a ball in your life n realise that players have a big big responsibility, esp when any tactics we play are not defensive. We had enough on that park to win the game. The players failed. But sorry you are a Mr know it all coldo.
17 Aug 2020 09:08:03
Seen a lot of posters still moaning at Goldson getting picked for every game. The man has played well since start of season and deserves his place in the team. He has even brushed up in his passing which used to be appalling. As for the whole team we are going to drop points so will they but the new boys look like they will do well after they settle in.
17 Aug 2020 09:12:23
Kri55, this management team are responsible for those players and that performance. His style of play works well when team come out and have a go, but when a team is camped inside their own half it simply doesn’t work and it’s plain for everyone to see. Therefore if the manager can’t change his system then we will fail yet again.
Or we get a manager that does know how to break these teams down?
17 Aug 2020 09:12:36
Are you's telling me that you's never saw the difference in our play and tempo when we went 442? Gerrard left it far too late. We know these teams play with a back 6 so why are we playing with 1 ST🤔🤦â€â™‚ï¸ you don't have to kick a ball to know that. Kri55 you are no better educated than anyone else whether you kicked a ball or not😂😂ðŸ‘.
17 Aug 2020 09:18:30
Agree Jaws, Goldson has been solid as a rock.
17 Aug 2020 09:23:44
Goldson has been great, I thought helander looked dodgey yesterday. ðŸ‘.
17 Aug 2020 09:34:08
KRi55
I agree with What Ziko said .
Tell me is it not Gerrard who has brought these players in?
How many players has he brought to the club since he came here?
How much overall in wages and transfers has he spent of the clubs money?
Now tell me how many trophies he’s won?
And also tell us from your apparent professional career
Most of it iOS not down to Gerrard
Is not his job to make sure players are playing to the best every game to get the best out of his players he bought?
Is it not his job to find a suitable tactic and formation to break these teams down? yet year after year has failed to do so?
And at what point do we stop looking at the players and look at the manager and his lack of experience and ability to get his own players playing for him
What excuse can we give for the poor performances after two winter breaks?
What excuse can we give for a lot of his transfers not working out and guys getting let go after picking up hefty wages? Making no real profit from these said players?
What excuses can we give for the performances overall winning nothing and HIs team folds under pressure?
I like him I’ll say it again really nice guy
NOT a rangers manager the job is just to big for him we all know it and some too scared to admit to that now
It’s clear as day the job is far too big for rookie Manager trying to learn his trade
The pressure up here to win games is evidently too much for him and his team to handle
It’s been showing time and time again
There is no excuse for yesterday or for the post winter break last season
We can’t afford to keep letting him spend millions and having no end product
And we can’t afford not too take Celtic right to the wire this season His time is up in my opinion
He does not have experience to know how to change it and infuse belief into his team or possibly doesn’t have the. bottle to kick arses when it’s needed
Time is up for him and I guarantee you I’m my unprofessional opinion we will win nothing under Steven Gerrard
My mind is made up on it the fact now
I’ll still support. But merchandise and support the team but I know we’re not good enough to win this league no winning mentality
If it’s not there last season and yesterday it won’t be here tomorrow under Gerrard
It’s plain to see and it hurts like hell mate.
17 Aug 2020 09:42:02
OK so some are saying he changed the system n some saying he didn't, so your counter acting each other. This shows he can change the system n style but the players still failed to produce? Explain that.
Well coldo if you've played the game at a decent level you understand as a player you can take responsibility on the park n try something different, so yes people who have played the game are more educated you baffoon.
17 Aug 2020 09:42:52
Also those calling for his head, who would you replace Gerrard with? Enlighten me.
17 Aug 2020 09:47:03
Great and honest comment stingo. But keep the faith. Need a creative player to unlock defences. And I think we can go all the way to 55. Ps yesterday was hard to watch. Can't see us dropping points at home. But away is doubtful. Need another signing pronto.
17 Aug 2020 09:51:09
The stig, at what point did I say i had a professional career? Just like most your post you make stuff up.
Gerrard can't physically make a player perform. The players we have and had on the park yesterday are by far good enough to beat Livingston if they play to their potential. they never. Explain to me how that's Gerrard's fault? Its unreal some folks views on how a manager and players work.
17 Aug 2020 09:57:53
How many signings do we need or how much do we spend before we realise the problem is gerrard🤔ðŸ‘.
17 Aug 2020 10:14:30
I agree with you kri55ðŸ‘.
17 Aug 2020 10:23:40
Coldo you have a great nack of avoiding questions. The same players you all praise for getting us so far in Europe?
So il ask again, you said Gerrard changed tactics sooooo if neither tactic worked is that not the players?
I love it when players are written off after 4 games 😂😂 class.
17 Aug 2020 10:40:49
Here's a point guys, we have players who cost £millions, shouldn't they show the initiative to change things themselves on the pitch, our great players of the past didn't need a Manager to make them creative on the pitch.
17 Aug 2020 10:41:45
His tactics work in europe because these teams play against us, domestically they don't because teams park the bus and we get found out particularly away from home. Its not hard to understand Kri55. He left it far too late, we were much better when we went 442. He will start 1 up top next week again🤦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ‘.
17 Aug 2020 11:00:56
Coldo you can't have it both ways mate. He changed tactics i think Itten came on about 70mins. Roofe earlier so he changed tactics but it didn't work. still so isn't that the players issue?
Agree we played 2 sitting mids n we didn't need to however some folk on here give the players a free ride, they are. responsible. for how they perform. Same as I am responsible for how I perform at my work, or is that up to my manager?
17 Aug 2020 11:21:08
They give certain players free rides kri55. Is a game against livi not a perfect game for 'the best £7m rangers will ever spend' Kent to step up? 🤔
I do understand the frustration with the result yesterday but that result doesn't mean we can't have a successful league campaign.
17 Aug 2020 11:32:50
Kri 55
What did I make up?
Way I read your previous posts sounded as if you were making out you have played football at some level professionally
Maybe I got that bit wrong
But I answered your questions in post and asked a few of my own?
When do you look a treat he manager?
When would you say?
How much does he have to spend to beat teams like Livi and hearts like last season etc etc
What would you say is Gerrards job?
Does he not pick the team is he not the one to kick arses when there not as you say playing to there full potential
If players are not playing to there full potential is not his job to change those players?
What players did not play to there full potential yesterday and who should he drop and bring in next game?
And who should sit on the bench?
When does the board say Mr Gerrard you have spent a lot of our money we need results and trophy’s in the cabinet
Please can you answer the questions for me so I can see it from your outlook mate.
17 Aug 2020 11:47:15
Jack, kamara, Kent, hagi, Morelos i'd say didn't perform.
I have played semi pro in america yes.
Gerrard picks. the team, Christ me or. you could pick that team n they should have enough to beat Livingstone, but they didn't perform. This has always been my issue, not just with Gerrard or. rangers. Players get it easy n it all falls on the manager when they don't play well.
OK maybe SG could have changed it earlier il give that. But il flip it round, at what point do you make the players shoulder the blame for not performing?
These are. grown men, professional footballers, they shouldn't require a. kick up the ar** to beat Livingston.
On a separate note, the way livi played yesterday would get football stopped and no wonder Scottish football is a laughing stock, teams like that are embarrassing and esp the way they celebrated.
17 Aug 2020 11:55:01
Kri55 he left it far too late to change it, he continues with this 433, 1 up top pish that hasn't worked domestically for 3 years. Why is that so hard to grasp. ðŸ‘.
17 Aug 2020 12:46:31
It ain't hard to. grasp coldo but you say he hasn't got a clue tactically but then say he did change it, all be it a bit late. So in my eyes that's a failure on the players part if they fail to carry out two tactical moves.
17 Aug 2020 13:20:00
Far too late to have any impact. That's been gerrard's problem too many times. His stubborness to persevere with his 1 up top will be his downfall Kri55. Fair enough against celtic and in europe where teams play against us but against the rest we should be playing 2 up top. We have stuttered since the start of the season and yesterday when we went 442 you could see that the we were looking more likely to score. Our tempo and play was a lot better. We have the players to win this league they are just not being utilised properly and that is down to the way gerrard sets up. ðŸ‘.
17 Aug 2020 14:06:16
We can agree to disagree mate. 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 etc yesterday we had the players on that park at any one given time to be enough to beat Livingston simple as that really.
