Zappa 0 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Let's get in a young and ambitious manager that knows how to actually play football and would fine players for lumping it long Neil Alexander would need to get a 2nd job to pay his bills! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 How depressing is this thread....? "Hello...I support Rangers. The team that always looks back...". It does my head in. We have been given an "opportunity" to reboot the entire structure at our club from top to bottom. We will never havr a better chance to do this and still people want to keep looking back FFS. Let's get in a young and ambitious manager that knows how to actually play football and would fine players for lumping it long Whilst I completely agree you will see very few on here actually agreeing that we should be going back rather than forwards 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Rebo's Big Blue Nose 0 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Whilst I completely agree you will see very few on here actually agreeing that we should be going back rather than forwards You're probably right mate but it just does my head in. In the 60's it was Jim Baxter. In the 80's Willie and Derek Johnstone. In the 90's it was Gough and Hatley. After the Millenium it was Barry Ferguson, Kenny Miller, Walter, Ally and even last season there was talk of Souness, Miller, Boyd and even Novo all returning. Can we start to look forward pleeease!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexscottislegend 2,062 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 There are two main areas, that are very general, that we really need to work on. These are a) ball retention and b) technical ability. Our ball retention is garbage, no passing on the deck, off the ball movement, no pressing to regain posession - its shambolic! the 5 second rule has been mentioned, this is something we dont do. I could understand on our UEFA Cup run that we would hold back and hit on the break but the reality is that we shouldnt need to do this in Div 3, and we should be fitter than our opponents so that we can tire them out rather than holding off and trying to get them to tire themselves out!!! Technical ability is something i have questioned for years now. When was the last time we had an out and out free kick taker that we could call a 'free kick specialist'? We have had decent players but not a specilaist. Look at Celtic over the recent years....Nakamura, Thomson, Mulgrew, McGeady....each of the time these guys got a free kick around the box - it was squeeky bum time for the opponents as more often than not they had technical ability to really test teams. We dont seem to try and develop this skill in players....hell, we rarely even have a dig from 20 yards out against these teams!!! Possible solutions to these a) need to look at our coachin methods and look at the continent (Spain, Italy, Holland) and see how they bring their philosophies out in players. b) start with a bag of balls and say 'have a dig son' and keep on it!!! Charlie Adam but we didn't appreciate him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Charlie Adam but we didn't appreciate him. He wasnt good enough anyway IMO. Free kicks and/or set pieces in general aside what does he really offer ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDGE 0 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I wouldn't say he showed himself up at all. Any time I watched them he was alright, not great but certainly no worse than the £20m Jordan Henderson. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact Dalglish paid 20 million for him says more about Dalglish than it does about Henderson's ability. Adam was mediocre at best at Liverpool. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
