Was it tactics/formation or the midfielders playing poorly though? I'd say about 70/30. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday was always going to be the most important game of this week. Tonight was hugely disappointing but IMO they are a CL level team and we are a team in trying to find an identity. They were dramatically better than last year and have a hugely experienced coach. I get the rewards and status attached to the CL but is it worth getting spanked 6 times for a little bit more cash? Tonight was too soon for this team and it was always going to be. I don't disagree with a lot of these points, but surely there are valid criticisms to be made? (If we're looking for an identity after 9 months (MB tenure), that's quite damning.) Putting our heads in the sand and saying, 'well—they're a CL side, so we've no chance' is pointless. It's up to the club to get the best out of the resources we have. I don't think we're doing that. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Ro55 649 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Butland is the only Ger who gets pass marks tonight, and saved us from a crazy scoreline. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still the opportunity to make money. Still the opportunity to get the Rangers brand out there to the mass. BESIDES. I have stated on here multiple times that we are a Europa level side. I think we showed that this evening… 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I wouldn't be too harsh on Matondo. He's got a future, certain starter now for sure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell if we are up to the EL level this season. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franc Ergs 1,361 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I was resigned to EL football anyway, though if we play like we did tonight, then it will be a very short campaign. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, Jack Butland is the only summer signing who has actually improved the team. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
