The Cup Final must see a radical change in how we play that lot

[muttley]

This tentative and worried outlook must end.

I don't even care if we play 2 strikers and launch high ball after high ball into their penalty area.

Our entire system must end today.

This nonsense cannot continue.

 

[IbroxMainStand]

I agree but it doesn't look likely based on the last 3 games. Probably 4-2-3-1 again and welcoming Lundstram back into the squad to play as the main midfielder again.

 

[GR3RFC]

Wouldn’t worry about seeing 2 strikers, we basically needed 2 goals to save the league today and Clement wouldn’t even chuck on Roofe in addition to Dessers with 10 minutes left.

 

[muttley]

They know how to play us before a ball is even kicked, mate.

We fall for it every single time.

We are terrified of them.

 

[abz_bear]

Raskin in for Lundstrum as a bare minimum pleeeease!

 

[LoyalAndBlue82]

Feels like we have been saying since Gerrard left

 

[Cooper 11]

It won’t.

It’ll just be more of the same unfortunately.

 

[Blootoonboy]

Can we loan Gerrard for the cup final?

 

[club175]

It’s quite simple for me . You go 5 in the midfield and you press. Sitting back off better players ends in defeat 9/10

 

[Fairbrass]

We will need Sima back, our attack is powderpuff with so many players out.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

No chance. It will be 0-4 for Clement as he’ll pick the wrong team, again.

 

[Meister61]

Until we have the right players and quality, we cannot play 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 for the final, it must change to a 3-4-2-1 or something else.

 

[EnricoPallazzo]

This nonsense cannot continue.

It will.

 

[Brick_Top]

We’ll still play the same losers in the same positions and they’ll continue to do the same things they always do in these games.

 

[The Goalie]

Can we loan Gerrard for the cup final?

yes Gerrard had a great cup record with us. they were down to 10 men , and gerrard still lost a cup final. Lets not rewrite history.

Absolutely.
And I thought Clement was smart enough to see that, and do it.
But on evidence of recent weeks he is too passive and i fear the same tactics and line-up will be on display at Hampden. Hope I am wrong…

 

[Discodale]

They’re inside the players heads, and until that changes we’ll struggle against them.

 

[Blootoonboy]

He at least knew how to beat them…

That cup final was a freak match, we absolutely battered them and lost to an illegal goal.

absolutely battered them but still lost

 

[Big Hepy]

We aint changing anything

 

[A Class Above]

We’ve tried the same thing generally for the last 1.5 - 2 years so we need to change it. I knew the result before the game started today based on the team selection.

 

[Ian1872]

I don't think it matters.

This squad do not have the mentality regardless of the formation or style of play.

We will continue to give them space, make stupid errors and daft challenges when we face them as we have done all season.

If we can keep 11 men on the pitch we might at least have a chance of making it a battle, but once again we will be heading into a game against them with almost nothing positive to give the fans faith.

I am sick to death of this squad. Hopefully for a majority it will be their final game in blue and they will give absolutely everything. It's the least we deserve from them.

 

[westl65]

It's a massive game period to give the fans something at least after losing the title

Fuuckin sick of it…I hope today was Lundstram’s last into the bargain.

Clement is going to have a long and difficult summer replacing these cuunts - but he’s not convincing me either ATM.

I agree but it doesn't look likely based on the last 3 games. Probably 4-2-3-1 again and welcoming Lundstram back into the squad to play as the main midfielder again.

If that was to happen, Clement should be chased out.

Lundstram should have played his last game today.

 

[Bouncebackability]

Wouldn’t worry about seeing 2 strikers, we basically needed 2 goals to save the league today and Clement wouldn’t even chuck on Roofe in addition to Dessers with 10 minutes left.

Or at least a player/formation that would supply a striker.

 

[GR3RFC]

You’ll get the same ‘close but no cigar’ performance as you have had every time we’ve played them this season.

And Clement is going to be under massive pressure next season as you cannot have the record he has against this quality of Celtic team.

 

[gazwatp]

absolutely battered them but still lost

The goal they scored was offside. Unfortunately no var back then.

 

[Div1872]

Raskin in for Lundstrum as a bare minimum pleeeease!

100%

I’d tell Lundstram he won’t play again

Today he was shite and that red card finished us off

With 11 we may have got something from the game but his idiotic tackle cost us big time

 

[DEJABLUE62]

He at least knew how to beat them…

That cup final was a freak match, we absolutely battered them and lost to an illegal goal.

If var was in then, it gives the linesman nowhere to hide, 3 players offside

 

[GeeSpot]

If we had 11 men on the pitch, that might have been possible. Dessers was gubbed though.

 

[AlbertzLeftBoot]

We won't change anything. Clement has shown he hasn't learned anything in the previous games against them and allowed them to win the midfield.

 

[SIRBLUE]

We must get close to O'Riley, Hatate and McGregor.
The space they get is unforgivable in the modern game
Watch their penalty, how O'R is simply allowed to stroll unchallenged into our box.
Fukin pathetic

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Two man midfield, Lawrence in from the start, a plank of wood up top. No lessons learned.

 

[Patchg]

He absolutely needs to do something different - this garbage of allowing them acres of space or zero press until it’s too late needs to stop.

 

[55&Beautiful]

They know how to play us before a ball is even kicked, mate.

We fall for it every single time.

The players ....well 8 of them are absolutely terrified of them ... they are gutless shitebags....losers .. that's a huge problem clement has before he even things about picking a team....also our injuries and the length of time there out is an absolute disgrace

 

[Stuart pid]

If that was to happen, Clement should be chased out.

Lundstram should have played his last game today.

Completely agree. Clement should've sent him back to Ibrox at half time to clean his shit out and told him not to bother turning up for training anymore.

 

[Myogi]

We are terrified of them.

We need players who have a clean slate in this fixture, the old guard just don't have it in them to win.

 

[Tom Forsyth's stud]

Looking forward to beating Dundee and Hearts 4/5 nil then back to normal for the cup final!

 

[bear wi nae hair]

Thanks for the reminder we need to play these utter cu.nts again soon!

 

[DrMantisTobogganMD]

it will be near the same team and tactics as today and we will get beat again.

 

[muttley]

Thanks for the reminder we need to play these utter cu.nts again soon!

Sorry about that, mate.

However, they are a poor side and beatable.

We allow them to dictate play every time, and with the same outcome.

 

[captcaveman]

It does need to be changed and that includes the mentality our players have playing against them.

 

[TheFrenchTank]

It'll be more of the same nonsense I'm afraid.

Correct!

I'm not advocating "get intae these fenyan b@stards!" as our battlecry, just players that'll say "let's make these chaps know they're in a game".

We need a 180° change in attitude and if some players aren't able or willing, they need to go.

We start scared, then concede more space, then more space, make a crazy decision, then concede a goal.

 

[Rt. Hon. Bearman]

We are terrified of them.

We are back to our early to mid 1980s defeatist mediocrity.

 

[Ready72]

Think a few need to come to terms with the fact we’ve been schooled of late.
Cannot get near them.

 

[Rangerista]

We are back to our early to mid 1980s defeatist mediocrity.

We had a nine year run of not winning at the Piggery, which ended in September 1974 with a memorable 2-1 victory, so we've been there before, never mind the Eighties.

Unfortunately, we're on course for another drought of biblical proportions by the looks of things.
