Match Thread Rangers v Kilmarnock - 13:00 Sunday - Sky Sports

[WinkieWATP]

Should be about 12 mins added on here.

 

[Viatrophy]

This is utterly atrocious.

Can anyone tell me what style of football we play?

The manager has been here 6 months and I’ve yet to see any regular patterns of play whatsoever.

Just after Jan we had a few good games while Cortes was fit but we have been hopeless ever since.

Hopefully it’s different once Phil can get his own players but this is dire to watch.

 

[Motorhead66]

So slow, bereft of skill, this is a painful watch.

 

[Vader]

It's just the same old issues we've had for years other than during 55. We play at a snail's pace and this makes it easy for the diddy teams to sit in and defend, as we let them get in to their positions. You just need to play with pace and get in behind them before they get a chance to set themselves and chances will be created. But no, we'd rather pass sideways and backwards.

 

[Simply a Bear]

There is no movement from our players around the box. Dessers and Silva just standing around, static, hoping the ball miraculously falls at their feet. No attempt to drag opponents out of position or create space.

 

[Pol1_]

Said before, I know Clement has to deal with the players he has, but this 4 2 3 1 doesn't work, simply doesn't work
Teams know how to play against us

Also said before, corners are a waste of fkn time for us

 

[Scratcho1973]

How much of a bellend has Kenny Miller became by the way!! FFS

 

[Eddie Doc]

The manager looks bemused at the players performance.

Why not change something then?

 

[HillsBill]

What is he supposed to do? Our squad is injury-ridden and completely devoid of quality.

Absolutely pointless expecting him to turn water into wine with this lot.

This is not this team's first rodeo. 55 apart, we've been total crap in the latter months of the season.

 

[Swtrueblue]

Probably the weakest title fight ever

Not sure you can use the word fight

 

[Earth Worm Jim]

Absolutely frightening how many first halves we have had like this

 

[julian candy]

Dreadful stuff. We started okay aswell and then have folded after the goal.

 

[Barnster Bear]

Tale a short corner to draw one of their players out. We are playing into their hands.

 

[mathers1]

The level of resentment that I have building up towards the vast majority of this squad is incredible.

Clement, put them & us out our misery in the summer.

Sick of watching plodders earning 10-20k+ a week make the same mistakes & then say they’re disappointed.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

Do we really need Lundstram, Balogun and Souttar all passing it sideways.

Time for Clement to show something tactically

that's all good and well, but the problem is, you need the players to do it.

we don't, its that simple.

 

[ScottyRFC1872]

This is comical

 

[Godrup99]

8 minutes. Gonna be Aberdeen levels of derision if nothing happens

 

[WinkieWATP]

Should be about 12 mins added on here.

And they have gone for 8. The check in the first minute of the game was three minutes alone.

 

[Flash81]

I know it won’t happen but to be perfectly honest there isn’t one single player playing in our starting 11,that is worthy of that strip.
If we could I’d get rid of all of them.

 

[Vallance]

8 mins to feck about in.

 

[ecossebear]

Yeah I’m not quite sure what people are expecting Clement to do! He’s inherited a team of bottlers and crocks. He’s barely got enough players to field an 11, and without a pre-season he can hardly train players in the basics such as defending! Until the old guard are cleared out nothing will change.

He inhereted a team.

 

[willieluc]

Lundstrum needs to sit in the middle of park and orchestrate the play, he's all over the park chasing the ball like a wee school boy

 

[Blue Lou Boyle]

Last 10 or so games have been brutal.

The collapse since March has been horrendous.

 

[WillowBear]

Summer can’t come quick enough.

The question is how many can we shift ...Saudi might be our get of jail card.

 

[georgedoors]

Corners have been woeful all season

 

[immortal7]

Bomber not happy.

 

[mountloyal]

8 minutes added.

 

[ShieldsBlue]

Doubts creeping in about Clement, this football is brutal to watch. Side to side shit safe passes which we were told we wouldn't be getting.

 

[Carnager]

Should be about 12 mins added on here.

Haven't we been punished enough?

 

[Pentasa]

Why not change something then?

Who should be bring on the players on the bench aren't any better and I doubt a change of tactics will do much

 

[steve1873]

Think we are going to huff and puff. Maybe get an equaliser around 60 to 70 mins. Then do %^*& all for last quarter of game. Seen it all before.

 

[Lovenkrands Dug]

We can’t do the basics, and we keep conceding the same goal.

That’s on the manager.

He’s getting his pants pulled down by Derek McInnes and ten men.

Sorry that's bullshit. These players have struggled to do the basics year in year out. This is the exact same stuff we have season under the last four managers. No matter how much coaching PC does, they resort to the same pish play and mistakes.

I do agree he should be dropping the culprits though, albeit his hands are tied regarding changes.

 

[tazzabear]

Dickinson being conned every time a killie player falls.

Conned?

 

[Monkey Butler]

We can’t do the basics, and we keep conceding the same goal.

That’s on the manager.

He’s getting his pants pulled down by Derek McInnes and ten men.

He won title after title in Belgium playing attractive, attacking football.

Unless he’s suddenly decided to abandon all his principles and become a shite manager, I would suggest that it’s the players who failed to do the basics under Beale, Gio and Gerrard (pre-covid) that are at fault.

 

[Clay Davis]

When Clement hauled off Cantwell a few games into his reign I thought we finally had someone who wasn’t scared to make early changes when things weren’t working.

 

[LJ50]

that's all good and well, but the problem is, you need the players to do it.

we don't, its that simple.

This.

He’s changed the shape of the team since the red card. The lack of quality isn’t something that can be fixed mid-game. People should look at the bench FFS; it’s not loaded with amazing options.

 

[ao2]

The collapse since March has been horrendous.

As soon as they become favourites this team can't handle it. It's a recurring nightmare with them.

 

[Kentbear]

Inner rage is building here, plod plod fvckin plod.

 

[Betterintune]

Just after Jan we had a few good games while Cortes was fit but we have been hopeless ever since.

Hopefully it’s different once Phil can get his own players but this is dire to watch.

He loses the league and cup then loses first Of of next season he won’t last!

 

[Viatrophy]

Should be about 12 mins added on here.

We’ve suffered enough.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

This is fcking pish if PC does not change this at HT my love in with him os well and truly over

bringing on Scott Wright and a washed Kemar Roofe to save your love of the manager?

Do yourself a favour.

 

[westenclosurebear]

Cantwell the one trick pony.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

And if Butland had positioned himself properly?
All other mistakes count for nothing.

Butland hasn't cost us scores of goals over his Rangers career so far, quite the opposite. The other two are a shambles defensively.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Cantwell can come off anytime he likes.

 

[Jardine72]

Hoof the ball forward, try and get a goal from a set piece or a hopeful cross.

At best pass it slowly side to side.

We are going nowhere under Clement regardless of personnel.

Seven months and this is the result of what he works on every single day.

 

[Comet]

Far out, it's like they want to lose today so the pressure is off for next week.

 

[SaulBearenson]

Too many on here want to be the first to say they called it, set the negative narrative and revel in it.

It's beyond tedious now.

What Clement has achieved has been remarkable considering where we were in September. To be going into the final 5 games still in with a shout of a treble is something that every single person on here would have taken when he was appointed.

 

[Gameboy]

Do we really need Lundstram, Balogun and Souttar all passing it sideways.

Time for Clement to show something tactically

He’s already said the team isn’t good enough tactically and against a press, that’s why they had to get Diomande and Cortes in.

 

[No Pyro No Party]

Have the team mutinied?

Is "The Captain" trying to get onto manager number eight?

Get McAusland on in the second half.

 

[sofakineazy]

Can we take the 8 minutes at the end of the second half!
