Yes.At a push maybe. Grezda still isn't match fit yet for me though.
Yes.
I meant to add that there were definitely nothing you could call an easy option.
Not even the Guardiolas on here could say that.
That could be argued mate.Every cross ball we looked like we would concede.In fact the keeper saved us at least twice.Frustrating as fck for a lot of reasons, the main one is that the defence out there was the reason we got to the group stages.
They were honking tonight at the back.
If the bad offside decision doesn't happen we're winning that tonight.
Pathetic defending and disgraceful ball retention in the middle of the park.
We are still in with a shout. Not if the manager keeps tinkering with the team and can't figure out how to use subs. We'll end up right at the bottom.Every Rangers fan is going to feel gutted after that result, at half time we were holding our own and looking good.
Full Time and our manager and players are getting it left, right and center.
This team made the group stages of the CL last season, they are not a shit team, but they've gone through a bad patch and confidence is low, they were dangerous all night, had it not been for AM we would have been thumped.
It's a sore one, but we're still in with a shout.
Interesing post history. Were you bored waiting on your light show?
You make a fair point,although we have made progress under Gerrard tonight just underlines how far we have yet to go before we are a solid side.We simply can't control a game
It's that simple
Everything positive we do is in small bursts
Whilst anything that could have went wrong did go wrong (valid goal chopped off, ridiculous own goal etc) but if we had controlled that game for any length of time that game would have been won which is exactly what we needed to do in that 2nd half & failed AGAIN

What would the “leader” do here?One of the glaring obvious problems we have, is a major lack of experience.
Flanagan - awful positioning and giving away possession in a crazy area.
Katic - Giving away really daft fouls and diving in continously, getting cought out of position.
Morelos - getting yet another needless booking for petulance.
Ejaria and Arfield making the wrong decision when using the ball.
A lot of really inexperienced , naive,, schoolboy stuff.
As someone mentioned, I think we do lack a real leader.
All these players are capable of very good performances, and have shown that, but really have to learn to be more streetwise.
What post history would that be?
Listen if you have watched Gooldson in the last 5 or 6 games closely he is the man to worry about and I know I am in the minority but the guy does not fill me with confidence very slow in his final pass nearly always getting caught.
So we're now in second place... qualification is still in our own hands then?
I would agree. Ive noted the points im unhappy with in that post as well.If your going away to a side in crisis and lead the game 3 times, lead at half time, then somehow contrive to lose when they are clearly all over the shop there for the taking of course your due stick
I think you are harsh on Morelos, it was never a foul and he done what any player in such a situation would have done.....he moaned that was all.One of the glaring obvious problems we have, is a major lack of experience.

Compare and contrast the commentator when Celtic scored there to when we scored our goals tonight. Rangers should be calling BT out on this.
True
Where do you start with analysing that fucking defensive shit show.
Everyone of them should be ashamed to wear a Rangers jersey

First time? Away and watch the Motherwell game again.First time our defence has really let us down this season
That was just pure comedy
Hopefully it’s out the system now
A bit unlucky too
Go in at 4-2 and they would have been buried.
Good news is we are still in there fighting
Villareal will murder them in Spain so we just need to do the business in Vienna
He would influence players around him and try to stop the same players making the same naive mistakes, time and time again.What would the “leader” do here?
Greig was a great leader.
Yet, during his time septic won nine in a row.
Gough was a great leader.
Look at the shir we lost to during his tenure.
Plenty have said so about Weir as well.
Does Kaunas ring a bell?
Liked your first line.Utter shite. Pathetic defending and disgraceful ball retention in the middle of the park.
This may sound reactionary but I'd send Ejaria back. He offers nothing and that has been the same in pretty much every game he has played all season.
You can’t be serious.
Dear dear. Some really stupid decisions on and off the park.
Is that not the coaches job?He would influence players around him and try to stop the same players making the same naive mistakes, time and time again.
Wallace is ineligible as he's not in the Europa squad plus he's hardly fit. Halliday should have kept his place though.Decision to play Flannigan ahead of Halliday and LEE WALLACE.
Not wrong there mate.We now need to beat Villareal. That is a big big ask.
Considering your last post before tonight was blaming Candeias for last weekend, that one
Deadly
He would influence players around him and try to stop the same players making the same naive mistakes, time and time again.
You talk too much sense mate.
It's all a bonus, making the group stages was massive, the rest is a bonus. We need to focus on the league and getting it right there.
You actually want us to release a statement saying:
“We note with interest that the BT commentators get aw excited when Sellick score but don’t sound too bothered when we do”.
Come off it, mate.
Why is he watching it. I’ve zero fecking interest in them after that let down.You actually want us to release a statement saying:
“We note with interest that the BT commentators get aw excited when Sellick score but don’t sound too bothered when we do”.
Come off it, mate.
Your watching so why complainCompare and contrast the commentator when Celtic scored there to when we scored our goals tonight. Rangers should be calling BT out on this.
Yes I agree about Goldson tonight.Morelos was booked for absolutely nothing...are players not allowed to be annoyed anymore?
I have no idea what Coulibaly offers over Jack though, why was he dropped?
Also have no idea why Goldson has escaped criticism in your post when it's a toss up between him and Flanagan for the worst player tonight?
Blame...what you on about?
All i said was if yer gonna shoosh someone, be prepared to take whats coming...said the yellow card was a joke, so dont know where you're coming from..
Sick reading this drivel. Is he supposed to account for 3 out of his back 4 having an absolute shocker? Can he mitigate individual mistakes on the pitch? People witter on like we have a bench full of quality. If he doesn’t play Flanagan he plays Andy Halliday, are we now saying he’s a player? Total delusion every time you read a match thread. Things like this happen because our players are still not top quality. They have bad games, they make mistakes because in a European sense they are fairly average. Katic was the answer to everything over the last few weeks, comes in and is hopeless. I’m Europe we have over achieved massively. Yes we should have won tonight and have thrown it away but get a reality check.
Who said anything about releasing a statement??
How can it be head to head if we only played them once ?
Why do people keep referring to this mob as decent? They are total shite, the 3 other sides in this group have taken 3 off them, they are woeful
