They're better than anything else in the league but still not very good. They're good enough to slug it over the line, especially at home, but even a new manager will drop points away to Hearts, Aberdeen etc with this group.They're better than anything in this league bar the scum. There isn't a side in Scotland outside of the Old Firm that we shouldn't be battering. GVB's comments about not being able to compete at CL level could be said by any manager in Scotland after playing us. And yet we make jobbers look like world beaters and our highly paid expensive players look barely interested. The squad needs major surgery but I wouldn't trust Wilson or GVB to do it. Utter shambles just over a year on from 55.
At the moment,yes.New coach,motivation,tactic,training and style has changed many a pish team.The system and coaching is terrible but need a clear out and a new manager to get us playing good football. Our players are genuinely rotten.
Correct. People should remember this exact pattern from last season. Grinding out results away in January and February or to get through an injury crisis is one thing. Grinding out close wins regularly and struggling to hit the target indicates you're riding your luck, and that can't go on forever if you don't find ways of putting teams to the sword. It also saps more energy to be winning this way. This was us up to the winter break last season. Then in January we collapsed.Scrapping through with fortunate wins doesnt mean you have a good team and probably indicates trouble ahead.
Ok, so would you say you believe it’s easier to effect change by changing players in January or making a strategic change?
What’s the criteria of being transfer listed?
Don't be silly.Great win. Bring on Liverpool.
is there a criteria these days to get transfer listed?
take any criteria you like, constantly pish? lack of desire and hunger? Acting the billy big bollocks?
or how about they just aren't cutting the mustard?
People forget a number of these players are Gerrard's and they put up some equally pish displays with the 55 season being an exception, even then there was still some pish games and begging to score!
That team would have run riot today.Time for a change in tactics 3-5-2
Forget wingers we dont have any they are all crap. Kent is a waste of space and Wright, Matondo & Sakala no better. Play with wingbacks.
McGregor
Sands Goldson King
Tav Tillman McCann Lawrence Ridvan
Colak Morelos
The players are unfit which makes them rotten. The minimum requirement for Scottish football is good fitness and we haven’t got it and that is down to poor coaching.The system and coaching is terrible but need a clear out and a new manager to get us playing good football. Our players are genuinely rotten.
It's criminal.Celtic goal difference +24, ours +8.
Well I assumed you had players in mind for transfer listing but I get your point.
The nature of football is that it’s easier to change management as your not constrained by windows and it’s cheaper.
Agree with longer term shipping out of players
Whit I thought the boy played well. Head up always looking for the ball and moving it forward. Ok he had a couple of missed chances but for a first start he was better than most today.We now know McCann is not a starter and never will be.
On the titanic they'd deny the iceberg until it's point was up their ass.The key component is the board lack testicular fortitude.
Woeful mismanagement from them for the majority of their tenure.

Jeez it was worse!Two nil against that pub team is pretty poor imho but we are where we are.
I would have had Tillman or Arfield playing as a 10 instead of relying on attack coming from Jack Lundstram and McCann.Rewriting history there. Gio came in 6-7 months after we won the league when we'd been on a clear downward trajectory after winning said league because we never freshened up the squad.
What changes could we have made today thar would have seen us win 4 or 5-0? Maybe Morelos and Colak up top? Would've got my votes. Other than that there isn't any other options because we're pish.
Well you can’t get rid of all the players so what do you suggest because Gio clearly won’t change itMassively disagree.
Thats the spirit mate young boy first start at Ibrox slaughter him.A number of people said the same about Bassey when he first started playing regularlyWe now know McCann is not a starter and never will be.
After his first start your judging him as not good enough,The boy looks a terrific prospect though he did well,Not outstanding but one of the positives of the day.We now know McCann is not a starter and never will be.
It really is looking like Gio did not want Yilmaz and Davies.I’m starting to think it’s a %^*& you to wilson and the board. It’s beyond all logic.
McCann was played out of position today. He is a defensive mid fielderhe should have scored!
if others are getting grief today then so should McCann.

I can give you a list of players if you want.
I'm fucking fed of watching these losers. Change the management all you want, its a trendy call but these players will let the next manager down as well.
Why do I know this? Because we've all seen it. Build you up to let you down!
McCann was played out of position today. He is a defensive mid fielder
I think he obviously agreed to it but yilmaz isn’t a crosser and gio base tactics rely on Norma’s ability to cross. See second goal.It really is looking like Gio did not want Yilmaz and Davies.
McCann has been getting played further forward and training drills suggest the same.
he started brightly then faded in the 2nd half with a few others.
No, no he isn’t. He’s an attacking midfielder but in the youths also dominates a bit dictating play further up. He is and has never been a defensive midfielder. Where does this shit come from?McCann was played out of position today. He is a defensive mid fielder
And there it is. Reactions like this are the very reason young players don't get the chance.We now know McCann is not a starter and never will be.
In what way, he had 3/4 clear opportunities in the box and tripped over his own feet or went sideways as usual. How many agressive forward passes did he make? How many 2 yard back passes did he make? He was completely brushed of the ball and out powered a good few times.Agree but he was still better than Arfield, Jack and Lundstram.
At least he wanted to get forward, honestly can't take much more of this crap football.
Don't be a silly sausage.We now know McCann is not a starter and never will be.
I don’t want to over-egg the pudding but tell that to Tommy Burn’s Celtic. Who for every neutral were a “joy to watch.” I just want to win by hook or by crook. The signing policy although much malinged seems less odd than the managers selection at this stage. Can kent be dropped or play on the right. Can his shooting and final ball ever be improved? Can Wright, matondo, sakala or a fit Lawrence play on the left? Also, in Mark Dindwall’s excellent interview with the Ajax fan journo when they said that they make their captain a promising youngster rather than Tadic. Just make Leon King Captain because his sell on value, will be potentially 8 times that of a clearly unfancied Davies and or Tav or Goodson. Explain the move to Tavernier and Goodson in the same way that the more senior players at Ajax are told. We’re a strange club at the moment.I think performances are a sign of how well a team is 'working' and probably indicate better results to come. Performances are important.
Scrapping through with fortunate wins doesnt mean you have a good team and probably indicates trouble ahead.
Move into position that more experienced pros didn’t see and was constantly hungry for thr ball and more importantly willing to take itAnd there it is. Reactions like this are the very reason young players don't get the chance.
So the boy never quite got his chances off today. Wow!
Made one poor pass all game, but otherwise always looking for the ball, telling more seasoned pros where to be, head up and always looking forward first.
I thought he looked mentally tired after about 75 mins and started making errors. He also started to look a bit nervy but others were too.Move into position that more experienced pros didn’t see and was constantly hungry for thr ball and more importantly willing to take it
Against Dundee Utd at home and these new signings dont even get a run out never mind a start, something fuckin stinks why they are even at the club given the money we have paid for them.It really is looking like Gio did not want Yilmaz and Davies.
Yeah mate you definitely aren’t wrong for me he’s a brilliant prospect and will prove a lot people wrongI thought he looked mentally tired after about 75 mins and started manning errors. He also started to look a bit nervy but others were too.
He played well much of the game.
Three points for usually means up not down mate.Move where? Down the table?
The amount of balls in the box. The lack of finish and the poor positioning at times.Based on what?
He’s been given you’re right. I’d have had him on from the 65th we would have at least two more than I’m sure he would have finished.Colak has buried what he's been given.
It's our midfield and defence that's the problem.
Jack, Lundstram, Arfield, Goldson etc just all so slow with no quality.
It's bothMassively disagree.
Guaranteed Borna thinks your opinion shitBorna deserves a rest, we deserve to see the players Rangers have purchased.
