We Asked For Effort Well We Got It

[alicante jambo]

All we wanted was effort from the players 100% and most of them played for the badge today. Blame lies with 1 player why we lost that but the players gave their all. Onto the livvi game for a huge 3 points.

[Stuart McNeill]

Id agree we got 45 minutes of it. 

 

I'm not sure why we changed so much at HT

I agree with the vast majority of your post.

 

My gripe is that Beni gave nothing today.  In a way it's a shame that he is obviously paranoid about getting another injury.

 

Not really the point though when it's a team game.

I thought Beni had a decent game today kept possession under pressure and kept ball moving. Also thought Hoff had a good game and was surprised when he was subbed.

Another defeat to add to the many.

Devils advocate - Rangers changed their game plan, and we needed to try and manage that change. 

 

More so, a losing manager changing gears, than a winning manager cocking it up if that makes sense. 

[Ministryofdad]

For 45 mins. 

Football is a 90 minute game. 

Some would say it's a game of two half's. 

We deserved everything we got today. 

It will be the same next week at Hampden.

Beni was excellent in the first half, as was Hoff

Beni looked good in the first half.

Less so in the second but that applies across the whole team.

We have to be patient with Beni.  60 good minutes today and he is getting there with his fitness.

 

we are doing these ****ers next Sunday

Don't ask me why, but I've a feeling we're going to hammer Livingston.

Me too . Beni was class today 

[Mikey1874]

It was a good trip. It is another game like Hibs where we ended up disappointed.

 

They have to start a run of wins in the league. Otherwise we start again with a new manager.

Yep. Was expecting much the same as last week against smeltic, performance and result, but fair play to the players, they gave it plenty, baring Harings brain fart... just a pity we couldn't hold out for the win.

It's the hope that kills you

Shouldn't need to ask ffs - when we all go to work it's surely a given that that's what you do 🙄

Fair point about second half, but his midfield partnership with Hoff looked good today. 

[Rocky jamboa]

A far better performance than we've seen in recent weeks. Good to see pretty much everyone get stuck in and give it their all.  Shanks, cochrane, offiah until he went off, the hoff and beni were the stand outs for me.  Vargas could have been more adventurous at times but overall did well. I thought grant was anonymous. We had possession down our left at one point and he showed no interest at all in making himself available for the ball. Sibbick had an OK game but he makes too many mistakes and isn't defensively minded for me. Need to improve on him. Overall though, a big improvement. Now watch us go back to being crap again v livi!! 

[Rudy T]

Celtic aside we’ve played well in periods against (for want of a better term) top 6 teams and in Europe. Those teams want to play football and we can go toe to toe with that as our attacking players get the space to play in, it’s more instinctive and the general pace of the game is quicker. Our problems sit with the other teams who give us the ball press us in their own half then launch counter attacks, we can’t cope with that and unfortunately that’s exactly what Livi will do midweek!

Beni played well in the first half maybe less so in the 2nd, also thought he got stuck in  certainly more so than in recent games he's played in, it'll take time for his confidence to return fully, but the signs were there.

I don’t think Halliday did much wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think Rowles was a wee bit like that and he got past that but haven't noticed it with Beni yet, he's still got a fair bit to go to recover fully, good dose of minutes there though, he'll get there

[Selkirkhmfc1874]

We were really good in 1st half yesterday , if only we could play like that for the 90mins ! Was same against the hobos very good in 1st half

Beni was good yesterday, as he was against Celtic last week. 
 

I think people have forgotten what he was like pre injury. Devlin did what he does next to him and Beni always kept it very simple.

It's a funny old game, people can see it so differently. I thought Beni was very good first half, brave on the ball coordinating a lot of our moves. We played a number of good moves from our own box up into their 3rd, actually had the ibrox crowd booing at times when they couldn't get the ball as only half the team were pressing. All came thru Beni, I've been guilty of writing him off but play like that more often and it looks like he's back. 

 

Second half, my thoughts were simply that the stronger team at home stepped it up a gear. Showing all the more importance that we get off to a fast start this Sunday. We done well to keep them out until the mistake, cant really remember any chances that we were carved open like last weekend. It seemed more like desperate crosses and long shots. I'd liked to have seen Oda for Vargas to provide a better outball, but that was canned due to Sibbick injury.

This.

 

A loss is a loss, you dont move up the table based on effort. Its a total losers mentality , the whole "you tried and thats good enough atitude". In the grand scheme of things losing at Ibrox isnt anything new but a decent effort and a loss isnt enough to swing my opinion of the current management, will be sitting in 8th place come tonight, nowhere near good enough.

All we wanted? I'd reword that to the minimum we expect.

Not going judge us on playing the ugly sisters. It's games like game tomorrow that are far more important. We fail tomorrow and we are in shit.
