in the last 6 weeks Rangers have lost 4-0 x 2, 3-0 and 7-1

Gerrard never lost by more than 2 goals in his time at Ibrox

bit of a mad stat
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They were a much much much more solid team under Gerrard. Against decent opposition (E.g. Celtic) this season Gio’s guys have looked sub-standard.

yet still did the one thing that gerrard could not do.

Gio has completed 50% of the objectives laid out to him for this year. He is still on track to do the things we need him to.

Liverpool have scored more than half their goals this season against Rangers and Bournemouth.

Interesting that.

Bournemouth sacked their manager within hours

Said in the summer that the board had let the manager down. Got slated for it despite it being absolutely patently clear.

It's on a slightly different scale but he's basically been asked to do what Gordon Strachan was asked to do at Celtic. Keep the team competitive while trimming the budgets.

Strachan was able to do it mainly by digging up low cist gems like Boruc, Nakamura and a few others.

Gio hasn't done that yet. He's a decent coach though but he needs help that probably won't be forthcoming.

I have said already Ross Wilson carries much more of the can for the CL performances.

Gio basically said he was looking forward to adding more quality to the squad after the PSV game, then.......nothing.
===========

surely that order comes from above wilson though?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Possibly.

However I have been told that Ross Wilson decided the squad we had was good enough for the CL.

May be BS but it was from no a bad source tbh.

I don't mind getting beat

It's the manner of the defeats that's making me question Gio

That last night wasn't just a better quality side putting us to the sword......it was a complete and utter capitulation from a team in the second half of a match that they were more than holding their own in against a very good side

This isn't the first time either that the team has basically flung the towel in when we have went 3 goals down...we did the same thing at both Celtic Park and in Ajax

Last time we capitulated as badly as we have under Gio was before Gerrard....so from that point of view, we've went backwards
----------------------------------------------------------------------
it was a display of a team levels above us, that when they got a two goal lead, had all the pressure removed from them, and when u can bring on Salah with no pressure on them you get to see the world class player that he is.

also losing you best defender and bringing on scott wright clearly doesnt help !!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh Gio could've changed it last night, gone all defensive and tried to lose say 1-3...and then get slaughtered for it today.

Football fans and rational thinking rarely go hand in hand

----------------------------------------------------------------------
While I agree with that...Gio only made forced changes due to injuries, and only made any sort of tactical change to try and either push the boat out or shut up shot after 75 minutes when we are already 4-1 down

A good coach doesn't just sit there and watch a horsing develop like that

Gio has had plenty of praise over his reign for his flexibility in tactics and also adapting his gameplan during the game.

i just think its funny how pretty much every one agreed weeks ago that Gio should not be judged in the CL cos the teams we drew are far better than us.

then proceed to judge and criticise him based on his champ league results.

I think it's the performances rather than the results that he's getting criticised form

either way its still judging him on a comp that we agreed he wouldnt be judged on.

well not by me tbf.

getting news through that Goldson has a stage 2 tear on his quad, its quite a bad stage 2 tear and will keep him out til next year.

Over to you lot ... thats makes you favourites for the league IMO

Couldn't care less if Gio stays.

No actually that's not true, I hope he stays. I think we will win the league if he stays.

Hope you are well Smid and enjoyed your travels with work

Is it just private travel that is verboten?

hasnt not couldnt.....there is a difference . its not yet been decided I he can or cant win it. That will only be determined if he either wins the league or leaves without winning it. until either happens you cannot say that Gio couldnt win the league whilst at rangers.

You can also not say Gerrard couldn’t win the league with rangers. Both Celtic and rangers have had managers return for second terms. Gerrard could do too.

??? no gerrard won the league ... there is no couldnt as far as he is concerned. he has done it.

until Gio leaves Rangers or wins a league then the statement of Gio couldnt win the league at Rangers is inaccurate.

Gerrard couldnt win the league in his first 8 months of tenure either.

Apples and bowling balls, Gio took over league champs, Gerrard took over a bunch of chumps.

Disappointing.
