match thread (image) [FT] Rangers 2 (Mugabi OG 22'; Sakala 24') - 2 Motherwell

[ascender 352]

In our league, his ability to make those absolutely world-class saves that nobody else can, is far outweighed by his inability to command his box and slow/inaccurate distribution. He's an absolute legend, but how many points has he cost-us this season? And we've got away with quite a few near-misses from balls played in to our six yard box this season where opponents are clearly targeting his weaknesses.

That`s how you throw titles away.

 

Honestly, McGregor and Goldson f@cked up 2 of 3 shots on target ... and you wonder what is needed to remove both, despite European heroics. Then Goldson has almost the two easiest chances to score right in front of goals and smashes them both into Kelly. Lost for words really. Time for Helander, Balogun, Sands and Lundstram ... and I don`t know why the first three did not play anyway.

 

Can`t for the love of the game understand why we take off our most potent threat on the right and thorn in Motherwell`s flesh Sakala for another striker, instead of removing Kamara, Aribo or Arfield. We have 5 subs available and do nothing with that. Utterly frustrating.

 

Robertson and Co. were the farce we expected. It bordered on assault what was levelled at Morelos and Kent, the lumb that eventually scored the equalizer  should had been off with a couple of yellows long before.

I only saw the second half sadly.   McGregor is done.  We are leaking like a sieve.  This is not league winning form.  

[der Berliner 3,245]

30-5 shots ... shocking ratio to end up with 2-2 and not for the first time.

Should we add McGregor to my list with Barasic 😁

Just got in the car after that utter disappointment. Hate to be controversial but some of our fans have me scratching my head. There were literally thousands of empty seats about 5 minutes from the end of what was a must win game (IMO). We needed the fans to get the team over the line but some supporters would rather get a head start on everyone as opposed to supporting the team to the end. Oh well. Each to their own but it must be utterly disheartening for the players watching fans leave in their droves when the game is on a knife edge.

His and Goldson`s contracts are up in the summer. I have come to the point where you say enough is enough. Time to get the "next generation" a chance.

Anyone still defending McGregor is deluded. He has cost us more than he's saved us this season, I've been saying it for weeks. As for Goldson, great decision not to pay him what he wanted to renew.  GvB didn't make the right decisions today either. Substitutions were baffling and what the hell is going on with Ramsey? He'll be match fit in time for 'it's too fucking late'.

We played without rhythm or pace throughout the whole second half. We desperately needed some fresh legs and more importantly ideas. Aribo did nothing, Kent achieved very little and Kamara could only pass the ball backwards or sideways. Van Bronckhorst seemed more concerned with complaining about decisions than making making them in a clearly stagnant team. He rightly got praise for his changes at halftime on Thursday but he has to take responsibility for this one. Then with minutes left he takes off Sakala leaving us without a right winger and left Tav struggling with little support. Amad and Wright were both on the bench, why? This is really not good enough.

Another domestic disaster - still can't see where our next win is coming from. 

 

Running out of time and excuses - a game we should have won 4 or 5 we end up dropping more points
