MOTM Poll Rangers v Hearts - 15:00 Saturday - RangersTV

[Monster]

Our subs were suicidal. That's really really poor from Gerrard. Seen enough to know Lundstram and Davis don't work together and we lost control of the game completely.

Alfredo being left on was criminal.

 

[Arab]

no leaders in the team , they all just stand silent and looking vacant after a mistake

 

[NI-Bear]

That is exactly why mcgregor never played at the highest level. Brilliant shot stopper but his distribution is shocking and he can't command his box against crosses

 

[warfieldranger]

Very disappointing as that was probably the best we've played this season. Again missed chances cost us.

 

[Robo]

McLaughlin doesn’t flap at that
Neither does mccrorie or firth

 

[Grei9]

It was like a car crash in slow motion we could see how it was playing out for ages. Aribo and Hagi linking up well and creating chances just before comming off, terrible substitutions, Alfredo looked like he just didnt care today.
Its all very season 19/20 our play and substitutions etc.

 

[Blueandwhitedynamite]

Thing is he could have though, kept Aribo on and taken Morelos off, no brainer.

Thought Aribo was playing well when he got taken off .

 

[douzpwa]

Wouldn't say my weekend is ruined but you could see the goal coming, we were so lightweight, we couldn't keep the ball and the defensive clearances were dreadful, Hearts seemed to have acres of space

Especially on Borna Barisic's side!

 

[Route 55]

Hardly!! The whole team squandered chance after chance, as with every game this season.

A two yards out miss is not on the team, the team provided it on a plate, it on Morelos, he takes that easy as %^*& chance and we cruise to victory.

 

[Beanzie]

Lundstram MOTM, but that was 2 points squandered

 

[Sweet_Home_Alabama]

That was a terrible mistake by McGregor.

Yes it was. But a) he'd a couple of great saves and b) forward line missing chance after chance.

 

[Barbarossa]

Cant kill a game off or see it out at least, fucking shambles. Can someone point out what Varuna brings to the game?

Bacuna played Roofe through 1v1, who missed

 

[Barry Slimfit]

McGregor does his job we win the game.

To be fair he bailed us out three times in that second half

 

[Sticky Fingers]

What you mean the manks think they can catch us, we keep playing the way we are playing and they will undoubtedly catch us.

I would like to keep optimistic and think we have far better quality than this to stay ahead of them at all stages this season. We are already ahead but we cannot afford performances and especially results like this many more times this season:

We need to be far better in second half’s than this and we NEED to take our chances or else this is what happens.

 

[imvaison]

Points stolen.
Overall our team played well but can’t expect to win when scoring chance after scoring chance is wasted - c’mon Alfie we know you can put some of those away in your sleep.
It was good to see Hagi pushed up in attack so much and willing to take a shot when the opportunity arose.
I know Aribo was on a card but our game deteriorated when he and Hagi were substituted.

 

[Blueandwhitedynamite]

Morelos was poor but the bulletproof captain needs a word in his ear. Offering absolutely hee haw. Patterson should be booting Gerrard’s door down asking for a game.

Would agree that Patterson should be playing now .

 

[devilman]

If we are creating that many clear cut chances that are sqandered then that's not on management.

If we're squandering that many changes and it's the same player squandering them it's on the management.

 

[steve84]

It’s the sitting back last 10 minutes of games, I think we are giving too much respect, if the tactic is at 1-0 sit back last 10 minutes I disagree with it as we invite it all on. If it is the tactic though, get better at it fast!

 

[¥ungblazebo¥]

Pathetic second half. How many clear cut chances does Alfie need to score these days?

 

[Cheech]

All round had the chances been taken i wouldnt have much complaints about today.

Just left a bit flat feeling due to that. Its a sucker punch for being wasteful.

 

[Bluenosejock1]

A much better performance today but the same old issue..... We just cant take our chances. Yes Morelos today but every game its someone else.

You knew it was going to end 1-1 at 80mins.

Amatuer, naive substitutions in my opinion.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

To be fair he bailed us out three times in that second half

That's his job.

 

[VMS]

It's not just missed chances by morelos the amount of times he losses the ball was equally as bad, but this is down to SG fcking amature stuff

 

[Mexi]

This has been happening for weeks now, but posters were shouted down because we were winning

 

[Eddie Doc]

McGregor does his job we win the game.

McGregor saved us from getting beat if you want to go there.

 

[Bighuggybear]

Substitutions cost us,don't know why they happened,Morelos off maybe,but Aribo and Hagi where doing alright,the whole mindset off the team changed and went defensive letting Hearts into the game.

 

[Texas ranger]

In five of our nine league games we have scored one or less goals. Unless that changes you can expect a lot of dropped points.

 

[billybluehat]

So frustrating. Alfie’s misses cost us massively there, but the general game management was really poor.

Easy to say with hindsight, but Bacuna for Wright really didn’t work.

Agreed.Bacuna did nothing of note today for me.

 

[blue diesel]

Blame the gaffer for that one ..
Aribo was our best player and should not have been subbed.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

McGregor saved us from getting beat if you want to go there.

Yes I will go there, its his job to save shots, just like it was his job to deal with that corner.

 

[Live it up]

We know McGregor was always bad at crosses. But gezo. That was shocking.
Alfie should have been off for Roofe. And Aribo was playing well and didn’t deserve to be subbed.
Yet again our subs cost us, and our game management.
Not charging up in the last minute this time, but shutting up shop with 20mins to go. Terrible tactics.

 

[Glasgowisblue]

We are a shadow of last years team. Haven’t had a good 90 mins yet.

Last year Alfie puts the chances away , we played well first half , his misses cost us

 

[RangersLad1983]

Morelos was poor but the bulletproof captain needs a word in his ear. Offering absolutely hee haw. Patterson should be booting Gerrard’s door down asking for a game.

I agree Tav offers us nothing now going forward I can't gett the big shout for him on here because he is basically average at best.

 

[Rt. Hon. Bearman]

Sadly we threw two points away, hopefully lessons can be learned?

They won't be. They never are.

Malmo, Dundee Utd, Motherwell and now Hearts.

And it's only October.

 

[JohnD]

I felt that goal was coming for them when we started conceding corners and free kicks near the box. For all our domination, I never felt we were secure and the game turned on Alfie's missed sitter although McGregor obviously made a mess of it for their equaliser. Missed chances aside, the frustration is that we played as well as we have all season but, again, we were punished for poor finishing. It will be good to get the two Ryans back.

 

[Ballynahinch Loyal]

We coasted against them for a half and went off the boil. They must be getting told to take the foot off the pedal at half time! Remember the scum got beat off them.

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

McGregor does his job we win the game.

Correct, but he made some good saves before, more than could be said of the others.

Morelos does his job and scores atleast one of the 3 absolute sitters, we win the game. if Tav doesn't constantly give the ball away or hit a Hearts man with every cross, there's a good chance we win.

If Gerrard changes things and takes off players who are blatantly playing shite, and doesn't get schooled by the Hearts Managers half time tactical change, we win.

 

[Bluenosejock1]

A two yards out miss is not on the team, the team provided it on a plate, it on Morelos, he takes that easy as %^*& chance and we cruise to victory.

With that logic the Goalies bread and butter cost us just as much.... The team spend so long f**nying about with the ball. So many blocked shots every game.

 

[Coisty09]

Going into game management mode with 20 mins to go cost us , no doubt about it.

We let them right back into it.

You are absolutely right there.
When Scott Wright came off we were lacking pace to close them down and the full backs started coming forward safe and the knowledge that Bacuna was not going to catch them.

 

[Jabberwocky]

Morelos, nothing more to say.

We score the goal and sat in inviting hearts onto us

Why do we keep sitting back until it costs us? Should have been 3-4 up if Morelos could have converted one of those chances, he doesn’t look fit IMO and Sakala should be given an extended run.

 

[GF7]

If we're squandering that many changes and it's the same player squandering them it's on the management.

No that's definitely on the players

 

[CraigM14]

We seriously need to get this sorted. This isn’t the season to be making an arse of it

 

[RangersLad1983]

Yes

We know McGregor was always bad at crosses. But gezo. That was shocking.
Alfie should have been off for Roofe. And Aribo was playing well and didn’t deserve to be subbed.
Yet again our subs cost us, and our game management.
Not charging up in the last minute this time, but shutting up shop with 20mins to go. Terrible tactics.

Managers bad calls no doubt about it.

 

[L_D]

Kick in the sack. Punch shagger PUNCH.

Onwards Rangers.

 

[Henrywatson115]

don't talk nonsense m8

 

[Wilbour]

The managers subs were a bit odd. From the moment he made them, Hearts were in. That said the chances Alfie missed would make any manager tear their hair out.

 

[Cyberniv]

Hardly!! The whole team squandered chance after chance, as with every game this season.

Not having any more minimising his mistakes. He was awful today. The rest of the team laid on chance after chance for him and he couldn't kick his own arse and hasn't for weeks.
He's not fit and lacks any sort of composure in front of goal.

 

[onelegwonder]

And people on here think Tav is a better player/defender than Patterson.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

Correct, but he made some good saves before, more than could be said of the others.

Morelos does his job and scores atleast one of the 3 absolute sitters, we win the game. if Tav doesn't constantly give the ball away or hit a Hearts man with every cross, there's a good chance we win.

If Gerrard changes things and takes off players who are blatantly playing shite, and doesn't get schooled by the Hearts Managers half time tactical change, we win.

Except when it mattered at the end!

 

[Mabearette]

All the optimism from what we saw in the first half down the tubes
