I've thought this from his first game - or, at least after their shaky start. He's not done it at a great level (i.e. Australia and Japan), but he's a good coach; he has a philosophy that he can implement. I remember when we were linked with Ange after Pedro, I think? Maybe before Pedro, actually. I was receptive to that move, but concerned about his 'level'.

You keep saying that several players don't want to be here. Where are you getting this from?

Pashun!!

This is old news. Scoulding is joining 'Spurs, John Park comes in as a senior scout, but I believe it's not a direct replacement. 'Donkeys'? I don't know enough about who they signed, but Van Dijk, Wanyama and Dembele are not bad.

I know I'm in the minority with that opinion, but seriously, what would be the result if we swapped managers? (And they had their new squads up to speed.)

Have we ever actually played well under GvB? ('Well' as in attractive, attacking football.)

I maintain that the squad is actually fine, albeit lacking in some areas (i.e. #8, RW and ST). It's the tactical approach that's the real issue, for me. This lies with the manager.

A new manager... ?

JUST YIELD THE POINT, SIR!

You don't change the 'keeper after one mistake. He's been... adequate. There are bigger issues.

What about Siegrist... ?

I thought Dortmund, Leipzig et al. would have done the same after our last horsing...

I've been moaning about GvB and our domestic form since he took over, yet we still manage to do well in Europe. I don't think we can make any assumptions about how Europe will go based on one game.

Weaknesses that have been evident since GvB took over, as we reached a EL final and the CL.

'Mon, Rangers. Give me a goal, at least, for the GPL...

I agree. Switch the managers around and it would be evident.

That doesn't hold up when we can put 3-4 goals past Dortmund, Liepzig etc.

He can and does 'win', but he's certainly never been a proponent of creative, attacking football.

They seem to be all-conquering domestically. Yet, they get pumped in Europe. (Last season, anyway; we don't know yet how they'll do this season.) We, struggle domestically - mainly against low blocks - and do very, very well in Europe. It's puzzling why we can't approach it like a European game. I expect them to score goals because they're a good, creative, attacking side. I also expect us to go and score a few goals, like a European side would do against them. However, we're not, and haven't been for a while, a high-scoring side. (I'm not interested in having an argument about money, or lack of signings - even with a new £10m RW, we'd still be in the same boat.)

I think I was a little too optimistic predicting us to score 1 goal...

I'm intrigued to see how Gilmour does at Brighton.

Even if we fill the 3-4 positions we need filled with top quality players, I'm not convinced we'll have it. Not because of the players, but because of the way we play domestically.
