Match Thread Spartak Moskva v Rangers - 17:55 Thursday - BT Sports

An attempt at perspective.

We picked a terrible night to give our worst defensive performance under our new manager. Scored 3 away from home to a team who were in the Champions League last season which says we can compete at this level if we can sort out the back.

5 points in a Europa League group after 4 games against teams from Spain, Russia and Austria after winning 4 qualifiers, 1 defeat in 12 Euro games.

The manager needs to get things sorted middle and defence, but sore as this is, the other game was a draw and we are still right in this.

Let's not lose the plot, even if criticism tonight is fully deserved.
 
Shocking result.

Being ahead 3 times and at half time and still losing is never acceptable.

Some of the worst defending I’ve seen for years and I include some of Warburton’s ‘defences’ in that.
 
Very annoyed at that. Players and management both culpable. Gerrard's rotation is causing up problems in defence.

Flanagan, Katic and Goldson were absolutely dreadful out there. Schoolboy stuff. Ejaria was hopeless.

Scunnered with this team.
 
Front line produce three goals away from home. Back line provide all the resistance of a teabag.

We need to look at the fullbacks, heavily at fault this evening
 
Yeah so why did he put him back in for a match on a plastic pitch?

He had an injury, he never recovered his place and it clearly damaged his confidence, all the while Worrall was bumbling along.

Because Worrall has been ropey over the last few games and decided to take the risk.
