MOTM Poll Liverpool v Rangers - 20:00 Tuesday - BT Sport

[Turd Ferguson]

I'm usually guilty of being far too optimistic. But that was really depressing.

 

[Stevie13000]

Must admit I enjoyed the last ten minutes where we should or could have scored 2 goals.

 

[Laudrup11Cooper]

Said to my mate before kick off that i’d take a 3-0. Will defo take 2-0.

We are only here for the cash. Europa is our level.

3-0. 2-0 .
Bottom line.
Nil point!

 

[Fitba*Daft]

We've actually gotten them on the back foot a few times since Sakala and Matondo came on.
I don't care about losing if we go at them but for 80 minutes it was a tough watch, to say the least.
The worrying thing is, neither of them will see the pitch at kick-off next week.

 

[Moreloslaces]

0 points.
9 conceded.
0 scored.



Shameful.

nothing short of embarrassing & it'll be the usual crap soundbites from Gio, sick of him. just go please.

 

[ndr429j]

Would have taken that before the match.

 

[Bluejim]

Beaten by the better team but by fk we were dreadful. Shagger motm.
Tactically poor though if I’m being honest would probably have taken a 2-0 defeat at start of game.

 

[alex wright]

I just don’t see the thinking with Tillman in first half

We seen it at the San Giro. Totally lost out of position.

We always went with a bit of pace on wings away from home in europe.

Play Tillman on the right in champions league then probably drop him for games in league in his actual position

It’s decisions like this that are making me think Gio isn’t the man for the job.

How many times does he need see it doesn’t work before he ditches it all together?

 

[andyb1776]

Gio should look at the last 15mins and drop Kent to the bench. Start Matondo on the left, Sakala on the right.
Defence needs to keep Davies and maybe drop Goldson for King.
Midfield move Tilman into centre, with Lundstrum and Jack, or kamara.

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

You surely can’t question your man Gio for starting him can you?

You slated everyone for questioning the manager.

Show me all these posts then?

Surely if there are that many they will be easily available to you.

 

[BillyJ1972]

Lol - I bet you Wright comes in out the cold.

Probably lol

 

[devilman]

Losing wasn't the biggest issue. The effort, especially from Gio, was.

King had a good game. McGregor had a superb game.

Matondo, Sakala and Colak made a difference.

Giovanni Van Bronkhorst is absolutely pathetic. Not point really saying anything else, just a poor, poor manager. We need rid of him ASAP.

 

[knightswood_bear]

My worry with Gio is he will comment that the 2 goals we have conceded are not from open play and he sees it as a positive

It is a positive.

Obviously it doesn’t negate losing but a bit of perspective, this is one of the hardest games in world football, against one of the best teams in the world.

People going on like it was a disgraceful result, it wasn’t.

Would have liked a better result obviously, would have liked to see us keep the ball better but if we weren’t tight at the back that’s 4 or 5 tonight easily.

 

[BlueMcLeod89]

"What will GVB learn from tonight"

 

[bluereason]

I think we've found our starting 11 for next time.

 

[Stupots]

Best team in the world my arse they are getting dominated by Man City season on season.

Yes this Liverpool team are doing nothing in Europe this season.

 

[tazzabear]

2 down going on 10 were it not for Greegs. Embarrassing to suggest we made a match of this.

Not sure anybody has suggested this but the poster is right.
McGregor’s saves are him doing his job.
We don’t accept the goalie having a blinder when we’re not winning.

 

[JAC_1966]

Made me laugh how BT tried to sell this as England v Scotland

You have Liverpool fans booing GSTK, rule brittania and waving Irish tricolours. Not a single union flag or st George cross in their end. Scum

 

[Blueranchero]

What was Jack doing with that ball there?

Jack’s first touch is shocking.

 

[Kirkhillbear]

Matondo needs to play on the left ahead of Kent for the next few games, his best game for us was on the left against st Johnstone, him and Sakala did more in the short time on the park than most

 

[RangersForever]

Only games he’s been poor have been champions league and at parkhead where every single one of our players have been poor.

Tillman at least has the excuse of being played out of position.

Tillman also won the majority of man of the match polls on this sight for his first 7 or 8 games. Hardly indicative of player who isn’t good enough for us.

From what I'm hearing from Neil McCann and Steven Thomson on radio Scotland it's the effort levels of Tillman that are suspect, and for me that's unforgivable.

 

[RAFBob]

Red or yellow ?

Don't get your reply pal, I'm sure it's witty.

Edit: just noticed and amended it, your reply was witty, bravo sir.

 

[Hoojar McKinney]

2 - 0 flatters us greatly. Kent, Lundstram and Tillman all depressingly bad. Greegsy, Goldson and the away end the only ones with pass marks. Gio is on borrowed time.

 

[andy5836]

McGregor
Tav Goldson Davies Yilmaz
Jack Lundstrum Arfield
Sakala Colak Matondo

That's the team for me in our next game.

Send Tillman back to Bayern, such a lazy player.

 

[Jingle64]

New front 3 haven’t half made a difference. Tav passing been poor tonight

I agree tav has been awful tonight. Our tactics ridiculous tonight. At least go down with a fight ffs

 

[HowdenEnder]

Kent needs a seat on the bench.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

I’m just wanting a Rangers goal to cheer.

Don’t we all, we really should have had one in those final 3 minutes.

There are still two games to go at Ibrox. I think we’ll get a result somewhere if we can apply ourselves like we did at home to Napoli

 

[Bradbo88]

Matondo far more effective coming off the left. Much more direct than Kent.

 

[Wee Buster]

Still to play for ? We take a point next week and beat Ajax

 

[Chris the Bandito]

The fact we’re having a go now suggests the team selection from the start was a shit show.

Or more likely that the idea was keep it close then take a swing.

 

[DEJA BLUE]

Thank %^*& I've put more effort in typing here than half the players.

Gio will win nothing this season, his players are playing at about 60 % disgrace ! We need a freshness about Ibrox that was so depressing .

 

[Beanzie]

Only positive is that we didn't concede from open play

 

[gersrus71]

Who’d have guessed it matondo the right winger plays better on the right wing. Watch gio %^*& him out wide left at the weekend

I thought he was on the left!
Either way he looked decent in the short space he was on.
Hopefully Gio gets the message that Uber defence doesn’t work as we looked better with pace on both wings

 

[freddie_crawford]

Who’d have guessed it matondo the right winger plays better on the right wing. Watch gio %^*& him out wide left at the weekend

What? He played on the left when he came on and has played on the right this season for us.

Do you know your right and left?

 

[CumbrianBear]

As soon as we got pace up front and more legs in midfield we looked a much better team .

We can all see it, but the most important man that has the last say can’t.

 

[Cammmyy1872]

Decent last 20 minutes, all the subs looked much better than the players they replaced. Time for gio to find a settled team and stick with it. And get the bloody handbrake off!!

 

[tazzabear]

I know, they're far more focused on the Prem than CL group stages.

Not so sure just now.

 

[Mr Wilton]

Must admit I enjoyed the last ten minutes where we should or could have scored 2 goals.

I did too, but it also a bit scunnering that we couldn’t start like that!

 

[SDF]

Let's be brutally honest, that is a squad that needs torn apart.

 

[Gazzabear v2.0]

Only players with pass marks was McGregor, Goldson, Jack, Sakala and Matondo.

Time is up for Tillman he is rotten!

King done really well all things considered

 

[Now and forever]

Not sure anybody has suggested this but the poster is right.
McGregor’s saves are him doing his job.
We don’t accept the goalie having a blinder when we’re not winning.

We didn't make any game of it.

We were set up not to.

 

[CaliforniaBlue1872]

We don't think we can beat better teams. Shit scared. And I include Celtic in this. Beat before we go on the park.

100% agreed

We need a manager that can set up a team and develop a belief within the group again

Obviously the score tonight isn't too bad, but to not have a go at least down the left against a player that has been consistently exposed over recent weeks is frustrating

 

[gordon_blue]

Liverpool 2 - McGregor 0

 

[devilman]

It is a positive.

Obviously it doesn’t negate losing but a bit of perspective, this is one of the hardest games in world football, against one of the best teams in the world.

People going on like it was a disgraceful result, it wasn’t.

Would have liked a better result obviously, would have liked to see us keep the ball better but if we weren’t tight at the back that’s 4 or 5 tonight easily.

The result wasn't - the effort was beyond embarrassing. The sheer level of wrong the manager got things and what possible could have been, is a disgrace.

 

[Belfastblue85]

Most turnovers of the night award must go to Tav......has he found a blue jersey with any passes?

Tbf his 1st pass is always inside looking to link up and the midfield didn't compete at all.. I wouldn't have fancied his job tonight

 

[Ian1872]

4-0
3-0
2-0.

I look forward to our 0-0 draw and 1-0 win in match days 5 and 6.

 

[Bristol_bnose3]

What a rapey bastard Des Kelly looks like.

 

[Jake 64]

Tell me what the gameplan is tonight?

0 points.
9 conceded.
0 scored.



Shameful.

I don’t see us scoring or getting any points GVB not a tactician

 

[Macky]

Show me all these posts then?

Surely if there are that many they will be easily available to you.

You denying it? You have never slated posters for saying Gio isn’t good enough?

 

[Stevie13000]

I did too, but it also a bit scunnering that we couldn’t start like that!

Blame Gio for that .
