Wee Mikey Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 21 minutes ago, i8hibsh said: Really need to offload as many shitebags as we possibly can. Oda, Tagawa, Forrest, Atkinson etc Forrest certainly has quality but he has no fight. The Japanese boys are not cut out for our game and never will be. Vargas and Rowles would be on this list too but they are contracted to us for so long that it is pointless to even discuss it. Rangers fans complaining that their team are full of shite bags, which is true - but quite frankly their shitebags are much better than our shitebags. We have very few players who can roll their sleeves up against the big boys, and the ones that can are always ****ing injured. The Kraken wakes, or what? "i8 is a near mythical alleged pantie thieving mysoginistic supposed Hearts supporter that is said to be incredibly negative and angry. In many ways, i8 can be seen as a metaphor for the human consciousness. Just like i8, our consciousness is vast and mysterious. It is full of potential, but it can also be scary and unknown." 🤭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinRummy Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 18 minutes ago, McCrae said: I don’t think our performance yesterday was that bad. We created enough chances to win the game. The performance includes more things than creating chances though. Unforced errors, a slow start, poor decision making in and around their box and a half hearted, ineffective press should all be taken into consideration as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8hibsh Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 This is the worst Rangers teams since the fans where sticking Warburton's Bread wrappers on their heads, and there is no excuses for this not being our best in years. Another defeat to them is simply another pathetic result. I see no point in giving any positive comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Quaresma Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 45 minutes ago, Pasquale for King said: They weren’t great yesterday at all, we couldn’t press them properly because we had two slow players up front, a headless chicken with no tactical awareness at LW and a young guy at RW, with slow lazy midfielder behind. You need pace all over against them on such a big pitch, we have some but probably not enough, but the starting 11 wasn’t what was required. Agree with the gist of this Players doing worse than they've done previously, not good optics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayTeeJnr Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I only caught extra time in the FA Cup, so can’t comment on how the rest of the game went but… what a stark contrast between Coventry in that game and our performance. Late into the game they were still closing down Man United players quickly and challenging strongly in the 50/50s. Coventry must have been bigger underdogs in their match than we were. Their determination and hard work levelled the playing field against a much more talented opposition. Yes, we’ve had a pretty good season overall but the limp performances in many of our big domestic and European games over the last few years are so disappointing.

It is difficult to press knowing you have gifted them the lead and if they score again forget it. What did not help was our captain had a mare and it had knock ons.

I think that individual errors like that happen, it is difficult to coach that out he has just made an avoidable very costly error. The ball should have landed in row ZZ. Aberdeen did something similar against Celtic but they were leading at the time so the impact was not quite the same. Slow starts a direct result of possession football in my opinion and we take it to a very high level. We invite every team we play to press us high up the pitch because we tip and tap. Don't get me wrong if you have the right players who can see and make pass and players who have the speed to take it great... Sadly we do not have those types of players.

Famous 1874 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 We do have a bit of a weak mentality against Rangers, that’s undeniable. Ultimately a difference in player quality too which is obvious. However I saw a good tweet on Twitter last night which discussed the profiles of players between Celtic and Rangers, and how our games between Celtic are often tighter due to the fact that at times we can bully them. Whereas if you looked at the Rangers starting outfield 10. You’ve got about 7 who I’d consider pretty physical - Balogun, Souttar, Sterling, Lundstram, Diomande, Sima and Dessers. I think in the summer whilst also improving the quality of player, we should improve the quality of physicality. We need more pace and power. Only really Kent outfield who you’d say is physically dominant. Devlin puts himself about but is a wee guy. Shanks and Kingsley not terribly far off that physical bracket that you want. Rowles in particular is slight for a centre back. Atkinson, Beni, Vargas, Grant and Forrest aren’t strong either. Vargas and Forrest at least have some wheels.

Agree with most of that,, I think when we on the rare occasion play Vargas up top with Shankland and Oda wide right we play with a higher tempo. But I don’t think the manager will divert from the possession based football, trust the process etc so these slow starts will continue unfortunately.

He had a deflected shot that was on target, the Kent one was given as offside i think but not sure. Not a great return really either way. Only committing 7 fouls was the stat that jumped out at me, you simply have to be more physical against them.
