There is our standard games where he scores, the big games in europe where he is hit and miss, Celtic is our only truly big game domestically how many goal does he have vs Celtic ? Now our striker should be getting at least a goal a game vs them, I like dessers but unless he changes and starts banging in goals vs them he can score as many as he likes vs the Motherwells and Ross counties unless he scores vs them and we win them matches then he is just a good backup player, beating them is what wins you leagues.

He is stronger and faster than tav get him at right back he is a better defender in all aspects maybe won't offer more going forward but when was the last time tav was the attacking threat he used to be

I am out for a walk, who fucked up

Yeah morelos was the opposite in these games he had the presence and battle but could not finish

Desser is a solid backup player to come in when your main man is injured and smaller teams he will always score he is intelligent but he lacks something in big games a presence never in the battle with defenders, I like him but unless he changes we need more up top.

No that was just daydreaming

Disorganised like the rest they are pulling our players in and out of position and our players just do not seem capable of talking and keeping the formation and men marked, how many times have they slowly progressed the ball to be caught out and no one telling them man on.

Agreed Tav has lost it lost his pace lost any attacking threat was not the best defender in the first place get Sterling at right back in the big games

My heart said win, my head said a thumping

Both missed chances ? I can't find a decent stream

The club was living above it means and it was indeed necessary, I think we can cut the wage bill and still win trophies it comes down to recruitment, Clement has been hamstrung by the state of the playing squad, the age, high earners, end of contracts, low transfer budget, unsellable assets. Recruitment will take another 2 maybe 3 or 4 transfer windows before he can form a functional squad. I believe clement and Koppen are looking at this more long term rather than previous duos in their positions. We can still win trophies if the players settle and develop under the manager also if they stay injury free.

I heard on the four lads a dream podcast we have saved 10 to maybe 16 million a season not sure how much will have gone on the new recruits wages but that is a enormous amount

Exactly we just need to back them now they will take time to gel and Clement imo is the man for the job. He needs time to mould the players, There will be bumps in the road we just need to remain level headed and realistic to where the previous management and board have lead us to and what needs to be endured to get back to normalcy.

I wonder what is the difference in wages weekly and yearly after offloading and recruitment, probably enough for a player next summer. I think Koppen and Clement seem alot more prudent and savvy in recruitment, just have to remember they have had to stretch out our budget to get the best bang for buck while shifting on the dead wood on big money and losing all the experience aswell for free.

We can beat half of those teams maybe not right now but with a little momentum and change in mood amongst the fans we could put up more of a fight

0 - 1 Rangers FGS Dessers

We can win against Bucharest, Malmo, USG, and Nice, with the right conditions we can get out of this group. Right now we are quite shit in terms of player quality but I trust the manager I think he lacks the players to do the the job in certain positions and tactics, with a few quality acquisitions in the right areas could make this a decent team. And if we beat them on Sunday and it is a big if right now but if we do the mood will shift dramatically, and our fans seeing that lot turn on each other could do wonders for morale amongst everyone at Rangers. But at this moment in time I can see where everyone is coming from with how we are playing right now.

Hopefully we start the group with the smaller clubs just to ease us into the competition and it gradually gets harder. But to win the cup you have to beat what's in front of you.

Rangers 1 -0 Ross county FGS Dessers

I think we lack a solid holding midfielder I reckon Stirling will be the new right back come the end of the the season Tav looks like he has lost any pace he had, I would not be against trying King the holding role but with two weeks to go until the window shuts that is not enough time to trail that so bit of a gamble to not recruit a holding midfielder, I think Fraser and Jefte can do a job at LB until Ridvan is back for a few games, so we need a LW Matondo and Wright just have not got the minerals and Cortes looks decent enough just injured alot the RW looks ok Ross is young and learning cerny looks rusty but like sima is offering numbers up top. And a must is an outstanding CAM who can link attack to defence and press efficiently we need someone special IMO, Dowell Lawrence Hagi and Cantwell all have their own good qualities but we need someone who is decent at everything and someone who has a bit more aggression and reading of the game backing up the press would not go amiss, I am sick of just one or two pressing and the rest either standing there or dropping off, if dessers presses someone who will follow him that would hopefully create a domino effect and leave any doubt of should I shouldn't I. I think at an absolute minimum we need 3 a CDM a LW and a CAM.

I expect an angry reaction Rangers 5 - 0 St Johnstone FGS Cerny

Spot on we have had a considerably higher wage bill than that lot since Gerrard first came in but they get more bang for their buck and sell higher just goes to show how poorly we have been operating, we should be casting our net everywhere really bar sub Saharan Africa and South asia. We should stop with the journeymen from the lower English leagues only lundstram worked out and that was only for half a season, the lower English leagues are still good for your young players you can snap up for free or compensation fees.

With the way the squad is at the moment we need to give Clement time to shape and mold the team and develop players but I don't see him getting it. If we lose to them the clamour amongst our support will quickly reach fever pitch and the mood will turn much darker than it already is, the key to winning the league and turning the other club into a cauldron of depression is by winning old firm games win these games and just like our fan base they will turn on players managers and the board everything will be overly scrutinised. Last season's first old firm was the turning point in my opinion if we just beat them their fans would of turned on Rodgers as he was just in the door and still labelled a rat their season would have been over imo, I think this old firm is more important as this will either steady a rocking ship or turn us into a rudderless vessel.

Barron for me full of tenacity and controlled aggression great replacement for Jack
