I don't like the 4-2-3-1. Well - It's alright. It depends how you use it. Nagelsmann uses it very offensively; someone like Benitez has everyone behind the ball and bores you to death. We didn't line up in a 4-2-3-1 under SG, it was a 4-3-2-1, with two #10s and no wingers. Formations are largely irrelevant in the modern game. I agree with your second point. If you have two players to play midfield, one for the holding role, one to play a little more offensive, I don't understand why GvB would pick Lundstram for the holding role and Kamara for the attacking role? I would have thought that, to be honest. Our xG barely limps past 1 per game. We just don't create chances, never mind take them. St Mirren had a higher xG than us, and that's with a penalty!

I don't think that's an issue when you're talking about one of the most influential coaches in world football. (However, I do get the sense that he can speak adequately and that the translator is just for press conferences etc., like Pochettino.)

Oh. The 'whoooosh' is for me, then...

I'm strangely buoyant. I feel like the end is nigh for GvB.

Whoooooosh. I was being sarcastic.

Ross--Get Marcelo on the phone. Pronto. Or Ralph Hassenhuttl. (I wanted Daniel Farke after SG left, but he's at 'Gladbach now and doing very well (they beat Dortmund 4-2 last night).)

It's amazing how St Mirren can compete against a side with vastly greater finances...

Our xG was 1.03. St Mirren's xG was 1.08. And that's with a penalty! F***********ck.

As depressing as it is to admit, I agree...

I'm surprised we have a Correct Score, but not really. Correct Result (1 pt): Mal and Lenny. Correct Number of Rangers Goals (1pt): Rousseau, Dado, Mal and Devil. FGS (2 pts): Franc, buster and FS. Correct Score (3 pts): Mal. Latest Standings:

What was the referee thinking? Even if he doesn't think it's a penalty, there's no way it was a dive.

I think that's a penalty.

That's a foul. It's maybe outside the box, though. Does it count if it's on the line?

The results are finally catching up with the performances. I've been so deflated by our style - if you can call it that - since last season.

In their current form, yes. I still think they're better than what they are showing, though. We spent £1m and 50k on Morelos and Kamara, so I'd expect to recoup that easily enough.

1 (one) shot on target. Currently at an xG of 0.59. Brutal.

I like Sands, but he's not worth £6m.

I was just thinking that after the last press conference, where GvB says his players need a break.

A failed cross or a failed shot achieve nothing either, but if you don't buy a ticket you don't win the raffle.

I know the fans are groaning at Kamara's back-heel return to Tillman after it fails, but I think that's class. If Kamara is more match fit and Tillman is more in-tune with him, that works and a dangerous situation arises.

Amateur tactics from St Mirren: launch it into the box from open play; cross it into the box from a set-piece; or throw it into the box from a throw-in. The embarrassing thing is, we struggle against it...

Wonderful feet from Kent. Kamara should have taken a shot - although it was a tight angle, especially from a man allergic to shooting!

When we attack I keep thinking, 'where are our attackers - they must be all sitting behind the ball to cover?', but then when St Mirren venture forward I'm wondering, 'where are our defenders?' That can't be good.
