@Crxigg@FacelessRanger@KaiGWatson I had to think about the Miovski one to be fair, maybe harsh on him cos I do agree with the right service he can score goals & he might be suited more to playing in a two. Suppose I'm just not that bothered about him staying or going.
@FacelessRanger@KaiGWatson Completely forgot Mcausland, Danilo & Cifuentes still played for us, think the club did as well add them to the get rid list.
@FacelessRanger@KaiGWatson LB (back up), starting RB, CB, CM, LW, RW probably all still needed.
Miovski, Gassama, Antman, Aasgaard, Bajrami top of the to go list, raskin if the money is right, would then need some replacements brought in.
Every player brought in now should be of starting quality.
@PenaCartel Wanted to say this looked like a training session for them but think that would almost be insulting. They still have several gears to go through as well.
@ibroxrocks I actually really like him (to an extent), good technically on the ball, can spot a pass, has more than a few goals in him, comfortable in possession.
He just needs an absolute rocket up his arse off the ball, has all the attributes & physicality & refuses to use them.
@PenaCartel@nytimes@TheAthleticFC Don't really think you can get a fairer way to settle a game, both kick from the same spot, into the same goals, using the same ball.
All comes down to bottle and who handles the pressure better. Football isn't always down to a persons ability.
@RakoTuke "We're going to have a lot of fun." Only people having fun where the opposition players as they ran clean through on goal for the 30th fucking time 10 games in a row.
@FacelessRanger Butland goes through random drops in form too often, out of nowhere he'll have a howler & it impacts the next few games. The donkeys in defence didn't help but often it was self inflicted. Good keeper but not to the level we are used to, which is a high standard in that position.
@FacelessRanger I'd be happy way that as well, just hope we don't go down the too many loans route again, especially across the back 4. Would be nice for us to have a settled, regular & reliable defence for a change.
@RakoTuke Aye, we need to get this "happy to be there" attitude to fuck. No saying we'll win the thing but in this current expanded set up, a lucky draw can see you walk to a last 16.
Get someone in who's going to use the strengths of our players rather than focusing on their limitations.
@FacelessRanger With the money we've flung about on transfers recently, I thought we would have been past the "once was good/had potential, might come good with a fresh start" approach to players.
Just go buy players who are in form & are currently good...
@RangersBanter17 Still too passive for me, hes fine in possession, can spot a pass and finish but off the ball he is shocking, walks about at times as people jog past him, lacks urgency, barely tackles, doesn't use his size to his advantage.
Effort will always be his problem.
@ibroxrocks I will continue to say this, see if he just ran a bit & put in effort, used his size as well as his ability. Biggest issue is in games that are tight or we are struggling he just looks like a big lazy prick.
@FacelessRanger@RangersReview55 100%, I dont actually think we can count Sterling as a squad player, he's just too unreliable with injuries, if he's fit it's a bonus but you cant go into the season thinking he's going to be available.
@scotlandscoeff1 I know it's Scotland & by the rules there was always a slim chance, but fuck it would have been embarrassing to go through. Honestly would have been the biggest participation trophy in international football.
@_DIGB He's got 3 or 4 options, some easier than others, pass to the LB most obvious, pass to the keeper, panic & kick it out for a throw/corner even or panic & launch it to fuck.
We got panic and gift a goal.
@tttribalism I think the fact we have a manager that instils nothing but fear of losing into the players doesn't help. The players need to take some of the blame but that's 3 tournaments in a row we've shat the bed and we've somehow rewarded the man in charge with a new 4 year deal. Madness.
@RakoTuke Minute I seen people throwing percentages about I completely checked out this 3rd place shite.
I don't care it's Scotland, the fact a 1 nil win against Haiti can see you still be in with a chance of getting through is shocking. It's not competitive at that point.
