I always try and look at the positives but f**k me Rangers you don't half make it difficult sometimes!
Why was there no second striker put into the mix?I think Gerrard got his substitutes massively wrong today. We had no cutting edge and no one passing forward when rossiter went off. Unless he was injured I think he blinked to early with swapping out Kent. Midfield went back to square passes second half and our wide players were horrific today.
That's the problem. Most of them know there position is safe and can turn in performances that wouldn't even be good enough in the juniors.
I mean players getting paid what they are and can't take a first touch, or can't complete a 10 yard pass, disgraceful.
If we’re winning FA why are you ragin surely it’s going to pan out that u are correct.F..ckin disgraceful...
All this talk of us winning the league and 55 is absolute sh!te..we are still miles off and we aint winning anything soon. Our absolute inability to cross a fu..ckin ball is seriously grating on me and the lack of drive or forward thinking is non existent as well as the defence being howlin. What the f..ck was Goldson doing? You would see that kind of defending at Amateur level..
Why the f..ck are we playing both Jack & Rossiter? They do the exact same job which is passing the ball sideways and backwards; Rossiter offers absolutely he haw...
Not one player wants to try something different or take a man on, its like they are all too scared to lose the ball so take the easy 5 yard pass option..
Gerrard cant do much with the lack of ability of the players but has to take some responsibility with his team selections..
Call it an over reaction if you want but i couldnt honestly give two f..cks..
F..ckin ragin...
This exactly. Jack is definitely NOT the problem. A lot on here saying he should have been playing more forward passes, but he can only do that if he has the movement ahead of him.Ryan Jack is a defensive midfielder, he wins/retains the ball then passes it to a creative player. The issue is we have have no creative players
Our crossing has been shocking. The ball either doesn't get past the first defender, or it's pinged too far out.So much emphasis on crossing - but who exactly in this squad is going to head these in? ...... it’s like we play toward our biggest weakness.
And you don't think the rest of the game in Scotland aren't having an absolute laugh at the famous Glasgow Rangers not being able to beat a team trawling the bottom of the league and reduced to 10 men,Just %^*& off with this kind of stuff. It's pathetic.
And today he did play more forward passes.This exactly. Jack is definitely NOT the problem. A lot on here saying he should have been playing more forward passes, but he can only do that if he has the movement ahead of him.
If there is a reason why Lafferty doesn’t suit this target man striker role then this is it, also seen it so many times under SmithOnky had 3 attempts on target.
Horrific.
Kris Boyd talking some shit about Rossiter.
It is not over.That should have been 2 of our easiest games in December. And we have taken 1 point from a possible 6.
League's over.

Said earlier in the thread this was point when things went tits up why was this partnership broken up ?????Our defence was okay until our management had to ruin it with Worrall. Why break up a working partnership? And worse, why break up a working partnership for a loanee?
How many good games did he have for Rangers under Smith?If there is a reason why Lafferty doesn’t suit this target man striker role then this is it, also seen it so many times under Smith
Agree entirely - or don't blooter the ball into touch when under no pressure at all !
Pathetic performance today.
Maybe "attitude" infers too much. Perhaps "mindset" is better. Overcautious, where ball possession overides everything. We walk the ball, and I mean walk, around the middle with nothing in mind except keeping it. It's aimless and pedestrian, so much so it has become totally predictable for oponents and turgid to watch. We don't do it particularly well either with most passes telegraphed.Average players are going to be inconsistent, not only game-to-game but within games. That's the reality.
What about our attitude at Tynecastle?
Kris Boyd talking some shit about Rossiter.
A couple and he had plenty of support with him up frontHow many good games did he have for Rangers under Smith?
And you don't think the rest of the game in Scotland aren't having an absolute laugh at the famous Glasgow Rangers not being able to beat a team trawling the bottom of the league and reduced to 10 men,
Did he not play that role at Hearts?
It's unravelling for Gerrard at an alarming rate.
He can't go on blaming the players when he's at fault.
Indeed we are better in Europe because we have space to play.The midfield was a patch up this season, Arfield was missed, what happened to playing with freedom or is that only in Europe when we have space?
They don't have ten men behind the ball to get past. we do.10 man Dundee get up the pitch much quicker than us, you have to wonder why.
You're right, it's not over. We are only at worst 5 behind which isn't a massive gap.It is not over.
But you don't win leagues losing points so easily.
We need to find another striker and we need another attacking midfield player.
There isn't enough goals in that side and by that I mean we have too many players with no goal threat at all.
The lad isn't even remotely match sharp. He was certainly better than many others todayRossiter is absolute gash..
A got roasted on here for suggesting the jury's still out on Grezda a think we reached the verdict todayGrezda doesn’t even resemble a football player
To misquote Sir Winston Churchill.
Never before in the History of Glagow Rangers
Have so many been betrayed
By so few.
That performance showed us up for what we are, a squad of miss fits, with no idea what it means to play for Rangers. We will do well to recover some pride after that showing.
Exactly, take it to an extreme but if you look at Advocaat’s team, Albertz, V Bronckhorst, Ferguson, Reyna, all goalscorers.Indeed we are better in Europe because we have space to play.
However, against packed defences in Scotland, you need goal threats from different areas of the park, because if you don't have that, then teams defending can shut down your few dangerous alternatives.
Midfield players especially have to have a goal in them.
Jack, Ejaria, Coulibaly even Grezda, Candeias and Kent simply don't pose enough of a goal threat,
Another point gained on the way to 55. Tims have dropped points to Motherwell, St Mirren, Livingston, Hearts and Kilmarnock and will do so again, starting at hibs next week.
Only 2 points behind, keep that gap until the 29th and I can see us top of the league by the 1st of January if not sooner.
And you don't think the rest of the game in Scotland aren't having an absolute laugh at the famous Glasgow Rangers not being able to beat a team trawling the bottom of the league and reduced to 10 men,
lol @ all the wringing panties, yes it was a shite result, yet it wasn't a defeat, we're still 2nd and plenty of time for the management to get things back on track, worrall in particular was gutrot today though, the first thing they should address is the side to side passing bollocks they looked afraid to try go passed players, but i remain confident we'll pull it together again
I’m absolutely fed up of writing off season after season whilst they swan about picking up endless trophiesI'm a glass empty Bear so like a good moan - today's performance means I can rant & rave till my heart's content.
On a more serious note that was bloody terrible today, as poor as I have seen in 40 odd years. Gone from thoughts of 55 this time last week to making up the numbers today - ah well there is always next season.
