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

Are we guilty of doing exactly what opposition teams want us to do?
Slow games down.
Even against 10 men pfaff around in defence or midfield making easy passes.
No penetration.
Are we the easiest team to play against?

This is dire. Clement doesn’t have the excuse that Beale had ie being an over-promoted kids coach. He’s a proper established manager. We really should be expecting something beyond the dire Beale-ball by now.
 
We all knew they would revert to type, put wide, hopeful floaters in the box - to the big dumpling centre half’s to head away .. rinse and repeat ffs.
 
Our mental fragility and nervousness in defence costs us all the time.

They are so terrified of making a mistake, that they then do exactly that.
 
Whatever message/gameplan our manager is conveying to these players they are clearly not implementing it, clearly not listening to him.

That's a worry because he's looking lost on the sidelines waving his arms about.

You can say he has inherited this team but we're playing a team down to 10 men and not making a dent in them, on the back of the run we have been on it's clear to see our manager is getting nothing from these yellow streaks of piss we call players.
 
I think they have given up the title to the papes. None of them out there looks hungry for the ball and the crowd getting restive is terrifying them. It’s as though they make a mistake, the whole crowd will be over the wall to beat lumps out of them.
 
The years of terrible transfer windows have well and truly come home to roost.


It's so apparent the lack of any technical ability in a lot of these players. From midfield to attack only Diomande and Cantwell have any sort of technique and the latter is as erratic as they come, giving the ball away countless times per match. That and this lot not having any sort of bottle for a title fight, collapsing almost as soon as they went top of the league are a bad combination.

Then stop playing the same players. Or perhaps amend our set-up to accommodate the players we do have.

This is a dreadful watch. We're going to end up further behind Celtic than when he arrived.

Who should he bring in then Danilo, Cortes or maybe Sima

The creativity has been ripped out of the team due to injuries
 
Cantwell's decision making is shite.

wants to do World Cup Willie stuff when Lundstram is in acres of space so passes it to Silva who is surrounded.

He is hampered with the badly unbalanced squad and the injuries caused by Beale horrible pre season.
 
Clement got a lot of credit for catching up 7 points on a Celtic team that collapsed.

Now it is down to 4 points better off and 1 point if this stays the same or we lose next week.

The football had been shit and got worse the longer he has had to work with them. Garbage long balls as if he is trying to escape relegation. Completely outplayed by Dundee and Ross County while we hoof it up the pitch.
 
Against 10 men we should be pounding that Killie goal, cross after cross after cross, Killie defence just eating them up
 
Wonder how the usual suspects will learn from this.

What did they learn from Ross co and Dundee that could be applied here, by the way? Because I could think of half a hundred different lessons to avoid a repeat of those games.
