AHH that's why some folk nickname him the fire blanketLove Big Fil. What a nightmare he must be to play against. Smothers the fcuk out of strikers and always gets a toe in.
Proper old school CB, does the basics tremendouslyLove Big Fil. What a nightmare he must be to play against. Smothers the fcuk out of strikers and always gets a toe in.
He really is. No nonsense either. Brings brilliant balance to the back line and his passing through the lines is pretty underrated.Proper old school CB, does the basics tremendously
And apart from the usual media circus around Alfredo i dont recall any player saying they are unhappy at the club or that they want to leave. This for me says it all about how they are being treated.Gerrard really created something at Ibrox.
Players talking like this proves it, they love being here and fighting for their place.
Said in a Graeme Souness voice.Great attitude, proper defender.
I listened to the audio book version just after he was appointed manager. His desire to win and how much he hates losing comes through strongly as well as his ambition to be the best he can be. Well worth a read or listen.If you read Gerrard's autobiography, you get a sense of what it takes to be the best under such competition; what he's created at Rangers reflects what he had at Liverpool as a young player, and we are now seeing the consistency such a thing will inevitably bring.
We are absolutely 100% where we are because of the professionalism and single minded determination of our management team.Balogun basically said the same thing the other day. As long as they are treated fairly and honestly they are all prepared to work for the team and take their chance when it comes.
I can't see our management team as being anything other than honest and inclusive in keeping everyone involved and motivated.
In that podcast shared with Balogun recently I'm sure he says something about wishing he'd been in that sort of environment earlier with the demands to win every game, the expectation, the pressure and standards. I am paraphrasing of course, but that is what he was alluding to.If you read Gerrard's autobiography, you get a sense of what it takes to be the best under such competition; what he's created at Rangers reflects what he had at Liverpool as a young player, and we are now seeing the consistency such a thing will inevitably bring.
Gerrard has managed to do what so many great players fail to do, when they move into management, and that is put is commitment and mentality into his players, show them the commitment and attitude it takes to be a top player.If you read Gerrard's autobiography, you get a sense of what it takes to be the best under such competition; what he's created at Rangers reflects what he had at Liverpool as a young player, and we are now seeing the consistency such a thing will inevitably bring.
Gerrard has installed that attitude and mentality throughout the playing squad and the club. There is certainly a feeling around the club that everyone, from employees to the team, and directors, that they all are working together, and feeding off that attitude.Gerrard has managed to do what so many great players fail to do, when they move into management, and that is put is commitment and mentality into his players, show them the commitment and attitude it takes to be a top player.
If you want to be the best there are sacrifices to make, this is what it takes “be the best version of yourself” or you are at the wrong club.
He’s a bit ungainly but he’s like an octopus. Tentacles everywhere.Love Big Fil. What a nightmare he must be to play against. Smothers the fcuk out of strikers and always gets a toe in.
