Post Match Rangers 4 - 2 Celtic Thread.

I actually thought Mulgrew had a decent game before he was sent off. Could see it coming from a mile away though

What was also frustrating, the pone time the beast has a bad game against us we can't take advantage. Last season he saved them on numerous occasions. The one time he plays *, we play even worse

 

Lennons tactics smacked of desperation. Lumping balls out tosamaras. Wert deserved to lose because as always, they wanted it more.

 

what i would give for a big commanding centre half and a GK who is willing to catch the ball

 

Thought Brown had a decent run but Forster couldn't catch a cold his positioning and reactions are shocking.

 

re-posting as i feel its still relavent

Where to begin, lets face it 20mins apart we were shocking, a fluke of a goal and one piece of great play papered over the cracks at half time, if we all sit back at look at this game calmly we have to admit we were lucky to get away with that score line. (* that was painfull saying that)

What worries me is I've spent the last three years saying we're the better side, dodgey decisions and luck apart we'd have won the league.

Well today I've seen the light. I still believe we're technically the better side. I still believe we play the better football, but here's the shining light I saw today for the first time, technique does not make a TEAM. You need hunger, desire, fight, passion grit and want. Unfortunatley our biggest rivals have all the latter in abundance even if they're still looking at the word technique like its a crossword clue.

It takes all these atributes to be the best TEAM, unfortunatley thats exactly why we've been second best the last three years, and it aint lookin good folks, funny thing is our three amigos in the dug out had all these qualitys in abundance, I guess the problem is the one thing these players need to become a TEAM you just cant teach.

one sad hoop.

Twice in 3 days now Forster has been rooted to the spot from a downward header from 10-12 yards out. Unacceptable. But hey, he keeps clean sheets (due to our dominance in almost every match we play, not because he's saving stuff left, right and centre).

 

I'm physically distraught after that, totally unacceptable.

I point blank refuse to watch any more games when samaras is playing.

 

Good post mate

I can;t disagree with any of that really. I did feel sorry for Mulgrew though. I'm sure even was asking himself 'what the * is he doing asking me to play there today for when we've got the strongest midfield in the country and other players that can fill that posision better than me?'
0/10 for Lennon today.

 

zaluska with confidence, ie knowing he is the no1 no matter what is a better keeper in my opinion.

He made a couple of mistakes and Lennon critized him and made it clear he wanted a new no1, I think that was Lennons first big mistake as manager.

Zaluska played a blinder this season against dundee utd at parkhead then we resign egor, I thought it was a bit out of order, zaluska had just hit form, at least forster should have had to fight for his place

 

why does lennon always change the team to play rangers.its rangers not barcelona.

 

Lennys team was pish would be lucky if that would beat annan athletic Never mind a * looking hun team!! Only reason sammy looked good was lenny wanted this long ball pish played to him constantly bypassing the midfield then blaming the midfield going missing * bad management!! Mulgrew was good should have been playing CB where he has excelled for us not LM and should have been hooked far earlier for being on th yellow! Hooper looked * cause how can he play with the fud samaras! Dosent look that bad when him and stokes are together??

Is it jus me or is forster showing his true colours this season lloking back on games this season where we have lost goals he looks like a * statue! No attempt to dive just seem rooted! Punch out still look dodgy and the kickout are even worse are we too quick to judge zaluszka?

 

Some good posts here (the thread starter is a belter!).

 

Rangers wanted it more, we were beaten by a team that basically worked harder than us to get the result. We have enough talent in the squad, but I am starting to question the desire of these players. These players are great when everything is going well, but when things get tough they don't seem to have the heart and desire to work through it and dig in.

We went with two central midfielders today and we were completely overrun, Kayal and Ki were nowhere to be seen for most of the game and I am not sure why we changed because we usually go with three midfielders in the centre to stop that from happening. Lennon probably thought with having Brown and Mulgrew on the wings that we could cope with just having the two central midfielders, but it certainly didn't work out that way.

Lennon should still get to the end of the season to see where we are then, but that was a big dent to my confidence in this team.

Just going to stop typing because I can't even be bothered to type out most of what I think. Absolutely gutted.

 

BananaMhan,

You are 100% correct. No excuses.......Well pumped by a rookie manager managing, what this forum often calls..." a * team, worst in years"

However, when I make these comments I get shot down in flames.

Well done for a 100% correct perspective on our performance.

Although you did put in tactics as * you omitted management as * also.

 

I could spend the next 20 minutes writing a long post going through my view of the game, tactics, mistakes etc but what's the point?

I can sum up all of that in a short post, we were beaten by the team who wanted it more.

I'm literally devastated, sitting here listening to Eminem feat Rihanna 'Love the way you lie' with a half pint of Jack Daniels and Coke and I feel like smashing things, crying, hurting someone, going to bed, puking.

Don't know what to do with myself, might just go to bed and cry.

 

Might have to get used to it Markeyboy,

The 3 clowns in charge...Lennon, Mjallby and Thompson are clueless against any team with ability, dig, or desire.

 

Great post and analysis mate Unfortunately I have to agree with every single word of it

 

I really cant understand why Ledley was dropped and Mulgrew played LM with Loovens CB? And Sammy ahead of Stokes ? So * Annoyed with Lenny.
