Covid hit start to the season, Covid only seems to count when ‘Rangers fans’ are defending celtc blowing their 10.
Aye he's a managerial genius. They could've put me in charge and they'd still have won things without a strong Rangers in the league with their spending advantage.
Our players with the most appearances this year have played 8 more games than them due to Europe and cup runs panning out as they have. Do you think the team having to play 8 extra games is as ready for the run in as the one that hasn't?
8 games, the poor wee lambs.
Our success came from players that kept total control of the game in midfield and that was completely ruined by bringing in someone like Lundstram that didn't suit it. Throw in some of them wanting to move on, it ended like it ended. The recruitment in replacing them has been dire. That doesn't come down to player mentality.
You're right we could play 100 extra games a year and expect to win. Or do you cut it off at 15/20?
If it's the same people doing it they are going to experience fatigue/tiredness. It seems a fairly easy thing to grasp.
You questioned why we didn’t win the league in Gerrards previous seasons, I told you the squad wasn’t good enough, it took till season 3 till we were strong enough and the rest is history.
We brought in Hagi, Bassey, Mclaughlin, Defoe, Balogun, Roofe, Itten, Zungu, Simpson and Wright who took a squad that wasn't quite there over the line. We then got our next transfer window badly wrong and failed to replace our best players with better. They spent the best part of £30 million to overtake us, but if it helps you just say FFS Tav and sound like the people who hate us.
I'm not sure you're grasping that we will also be playing an extra game here.
That league title being the one they won as we were being liquidated or was it before?
I agree if that massive, obvious difference is us having better players.
55 cost us nothing?
Aye only if you are fucking idiot
He just doesn’t get it, strange one.
haha, what is it you do for living ?
You're acting if the same thing applies across about 6 years with a lot of different players and coaches.
Confidence and form are massive things in football. Celtic went on a similar run to us, but their fans aren't completely shell-shocked and defeatist like ours are.
The same guys who make themselves available every week get tired, their form dips because they aren't actually superhuman and people like you blame them for all our issues when it's the rest of the squad letting them down. Also our opponents are capable of comfortably out spending us which you know helps.
haha, aye sure you are.
We all, are on here.
You're right we should win 100% of our games.
100%
I'm not sure how much I can really invest when I've already offered a fairly decent explanation for why our team are struggling at the minute and it being due to fatigue and too many players playing too often because of squad depth and generally poor recruitment. Celtic outspend us and should therefore finish first. Celtic also recruit poorly at times, but they're able to buy more players more often for a higher amount and take more hits on the ones they get wrong due to their superior financial position. This was reversed in the 90s and we cleared up. We outspend everyone else and finish second, a dynamic you can apply to almost every league give or take exceptions but broadly speaking that's how it goes. Man City occasionally lose to someone like Burnley but over the course of a season they'll finish first or thereabouts by failing less often to win than those below them. Liverpool likewise win a lot, but they'll falter more often causing City to have more points. Again none of this is hard to understand and it applies to us just as much as it applies to every other club and league in that world.100%
Try debating without resorting to that sort of nonsense or just don't bother, I'd suggest.
