Match Thread Dundee v Rangers - 20:00 Wednesday - Sky Sports

[Sam Therapy]

Beyond awful. Plus Clement goes on about urgency but when we have a shy in an attacking position he's wanting it thrown back to Souttar.

 

[Cowan_rfc]

Youd take Silva, Roofe (who started well), Sima and Lawrence off at halftime if it wasnt negligent

 

[Diehard]

This is getting played at walking pace. Looks like a bounce game.

 

[Clementime]

This is simply not a team who want to win the title. They have already given it up. No urgency, no tempo and no guile. Awful. If Clement sends the same 11 out for the second half then he deserves criticism too.

Groundhog Day here...

"We need a clear out in the summer"

 

[The Blue Lamp]

Our go to tactic of the diagonal ball from defence to no c#nt isn't working, it's time for plan b. Barisic on to whip balls into the box from just over the half way line to no c#nt.

 

[Ubik]

we need to get Sterling into midfield plus id bring dessers on.

 

[bluereason]

Got to say, I genuinely thought this lot would have been hurting from the piss poor performance at the weekend and really go at Dundee tonight but this has been as flat as a pancake. Come out like that second half and the league is well and truly over. Massive team talk and second 45 coming up.

 

[hms]

Looking at the first half this team have given up and don’t believe they can win.

Doesn’t bode well for Sunday

 

[westenclosurebear]

Stuff this! The women’s game is on Alba

Never compare two negatives.

 

[SteVM1872]

Another game where you could easily hook 2 or 3 players at HT.

 

[Trafalgar]

Biggest HT teamtalk Phil's had so far. This can't be what he has asked for.

Biggest since Sunday. Oh and the Sunday before that.
This squad have chucked it. I don't know what has happened or why but they've downed tools.

 

[MrJ]

Lawrence is an atrocious footballer and gets nowhere near the criticism he is due.

Literally does nothing and still makes it look bad.

He is in there to dictate play and find pockets of space. Put a man on him and starve him of time & he is ineffective. Has no pace to boot

 

[mathers1]

Watching that live. Thoughts:

Cantwell. Invisible.

Silva. Invisible.

Captain marvel. Invisible.

Goldson looking like he’s running in sand from minute 1. His legs have genuinely gone.

Lundstram gets paid 25k+ a week and he cannot dictate play. He’s the antithesis of a playmaker. Awful.

Sterling trying but he’s clearly not a LB can’t go on the outside.

We’re just not a very good team.

 

[LabattBlue72]

Rangers are the definition of insanity at the moment. Need to change it up, bench doesn't inspire...

 

[Gremlins]

Can’t wait to see the back of a big chunk of this particular group of players, no matter how the rest of the season plays out.

 

[BluebellGirl]

Horrific.

Whatever happens in this game, we are miles off it.

I’m hoping we grind out 3 points and a miracle happens by Sunday

 

[RenfrewshireTrueBlue]

I've got to say here and now, this is categorically not good enough. This capitulation since the OF game is, while unfortunately not a surprise with this Rangers team, not befitting of the standards I expect.

 

[GazzaLegend]

Take Lundstram or Goldson off at half time, put anyone on, just do something, anything to change this horrendous, highly predictable performance.

I would rather lose this league by doing something completely different and calling out the failures than watch the same shite die a little more every game.

 

[Private_joker]

Not sure what's going on here, but the manager needs to sort this out at half time. The last game and a half has been very poor.

 

[SeriouslyFacetious]

Are we...pish?

 

[DJ Blue]

Rangers Women on BBC Alba if any wants some half Time entertainment. 0-0 v Hearts 49 mins gone.

 

[Saki]

This has been brutal - managed to make Dundee look good

League is gone - this team is garbage

 

[Fairbrass]

If Clement wants to keep his job, he must be ruthless in the summer.

The full thing needs to be freshened up.

 

[NeilFifeLoyal]

They’ll come back out at 100 miles an hour for the 2nd half again. Wouldn’t be surprised if we concede in the first couple of minutes.

Celtic game lost a goal first minute, Sunday chance away first minute tonight same again Groundhog Day.

 

[Southsideblueblood]

Not sure if the team are shattered or lost

Both. If however you analyse some of it , it can be traced back to Beale. Lundstrum is running on gas and the main reason for that is we renewed Jacks contract. He was always going to be posted missing. Therefore john plays far too many games and is a burst couch.

 

[temperance]

Just a continuation from the Ross County game.

 

[tommyb15114]

Lawrence blowing thru his arse..again

 

[Clementime]

This is getting played at walking pace. Looks like a bounce game.

I've honestly seen more intense "Old boys" turnouts.

 

[Modfella]

Too many empty jerseys, big Phil looks raging.
Get the importers out.

 

[Pioneer]

Cantwell, Sima, Lawrence Silva all pish. Lundstram is honking as well, tonight just confirming they are nowhere near a league winning team.

We are more than capable. We’ve gotten ourselves back into a position to win the league. Genuinely cannot explain the drop off in quality and standards that’s being shown here.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

I'd love to know what's happened with our playing "style".

What are they doing in training?

 

[RenfrewshireTrueBlue]

They’ll come back out at 100 miles an hour for the 2nd half again. Wouldn’t be surprised if we concede in the first couple of minutes.

They know we are a team for the taking and this will badly backfire unfortunately.

 

[Glasgowisblue]

Does Lundstram know the phrase ' pass and move ' every single tine he passes it he just stands still , please take him off

 

[de Boer14]

Dreadful

 

[Burton blue]

The players have just completed collapsed. The midfield is non existent. I can’t actually see what our tactics are, pass it between the back 4 and then hit it long, then inevitably lose the second ball.

It seems like the team has regressed six months has Michael Beale been taking training this week?

 

[CY83]

Yilmaz completely changes our left side, Sterling does well no matter where he is but he's not a LB.
Zero character in the team to take things by the scruff of the neck and grind something out.

 

[Sterling8]

I’ve got absolutely fuk all idea what tactics we are actually trying to implement here. Zero composure, zero invention, just lump it till it’s blac and blue and hope for the best. Utter shite. Never in a million years winning the league most probably be done and dusted tonight

 

[Jamiegatami]

We have no pace apart from sima and sterling

 

[SBC72]

Another game where you could easily cancel 2 or 3 players contracts at HT.

Fixed that for you mate.

 

[FDB1978]

£64m per year in wages for a team that struggles against SPFL jobbers like Ross County and Dundee.

Could only happen at Rangers.

 

[Potnbear]

Manager standing like a stoogie, captain couldn't motivate a bag of speed, lundstram about to get a parking ticket. Not one player or management to take this by the scruff

 

[JW1988]

Please tell me these constant long passes are not instructions from the manager.??

They are. We’ve done it since he came in, that can’t be news to you?

 

[Raymond]

Silva waste of a jersey..

 

[MrStruth]

Furious with that pish. No urgency, no desire, players slowing play down! Silva, get him to %^*&, honest sick of him. We need this win to try and build on something....

No surprise

 

[Gascoigne87]

Take Lawrence or Lundstram off, put Borna on, and move Sterling to midfield and game changes I believe.

Can we take them all off?

 

[DavieM]

One bad result and this group have once again chucked it. That's not on the manager as we have seen this almost every single time we get to the nitty gritty.

Most of them will be looking for a new club in the summer.

 

[Macdonsj]

Barisic for Lundstram
Raskin for Lawrence
matondo for silva
Swap sterling into midfield

 

[Albertz Loyal]

Looking at the first half this team have given up and don’t believe they can win.

Doesn’t bode well for Sunday

It's over, they know it, we know it

They'll be in dressing room now, like they have been before knowing they are not strong enough

Clement for me is in the ropes as well, we need a manager who can change things

 

[Stefan Klos]

My concern with this team is at the first sign of adversity, they stop listening to the manager.

You just can’t get through to them anymore. And when their heads are gone, their heads are gone.

They’re secure in the knowledge that it’s managers who fall on the sword, whilst they remain

 

[Deek]

Shitebags have reverted to type.
