we've got the players.... But

[nasser95]

Ah fella if you are going to use examples at least get them right. Made yourself look a bit silly here. The header in the first half yesterday where Zamora missed it from a yard was crossed by Austin. Everyone in the ground was saying had it been the other way round Austin would have scored.

Ahh sorry, that is my bad, I recall the initial attempt being blocked and austin getting the actual cross in. Apologies there and cheers for the info

What are you even on? Just because I praise some of the stuff our players do, all of a sudden I must be their agent or something? Get off it mate, there is a reason that he came back and got 4 assists in a row. His crosses always go in and around the areas where players should be. Unfortunately with bobby up front and austin tracking back, we lack people in the box to receive those balls. Take the chance zamora had from a yard out with a header, look who crossed it in, Matty Phillips. But if the player on the end of it can't put it in, then we have no chance.

Nothing but I wish i had some harder stuff to read your posts.

So you are blaming everyone else? You say there is a reason that he came back and got 4 assists in a row. What is that? Is it maybe that is what he is paid to do.

And where have they been lately? or does he lack consistency?

You talk him up like he's a champions league player but in truth he is no better than a top championship player

Bit ridiculous your posts are to be honest. I talk him up RELATIVE to our standard, everything I say is relative to the standards seen in other options. If you want to take everything to a ridiculous level then do it but don't suggest that is what I am doing.

Tbh IMO Caulker's main weakness is the mental side of his game. He has decent pace, height and size. He just seems to have lapses in concentration where he finds himself strolling over the halfway line in open play and getting caught out or losing track of the man he's marking allowing the other team to score.

Your'e right about Caulker ! but it tells you all really want to know about the lack of quality coaching at the club as you say Caulker has very descent skill for a C/B but doesn't know where to use it , the coaching staff should be working on playing safety 1st when in his own half defending and encouraging him to play his football only in the opposing half and also work on his concentration don't forget he was a good player at Spurs and Cardiff , at his age there's nothing that a good defensive coach shouldn't be able iron out

Nasser seriously mate, i know you mean well with your stats etc. but i do think you need a little more experience in understanding the game.

I seem to have noticed you say that to someone else today too. You obviously dont read over what you write. I wasnt aware of the subjectivity of your points, in that they are always in relation to our standard. I only take things as they are written, if you choose to over dramatise or exaggerate things then you shouldn't be surprised when people question you.

From The Times report

"QPR wanted this more than Everton, but they still lost, because at some point what really matters, what determines these things, is who is better at football. It is here that Ramsey’s players just fall short. There are too many who do not see the pass until it is a split-second too late, who need just a moment too long to think, who do not quite make the right decision. This is not a team full of bad players. It is just a team of players who are, when it comes down to it, not good enough."

Sums it up for me

My sentiments exactly, think i even said it in an earlier post in this thread.

Very true.

Lets hope someone like Paul Clement can get some young talented footballers at Rangers next season.

If these players were managed correctly, coached correctly from our very 1st game of the season, right up until now (meaning ALL season- no players being played out of position, correct substitutes being made, best formation being played from start to finish of each game, strongest team being picked week in week out) do you think we would be where we are now??

Might be slightly better off but the squad as a whole is just not up to the required standard and is hugely unbalanced. Let down by recruitment as we have been for the last 4 years.

I thought we would see improvements with HR going but its just stayed the same - Route 1 to an old crock with a dodgy hip/s.
I think this just shows we do not have the quality, as the above statement from the times says.

Watching how Burnley have played this season and even Hull recently, they look far more equipped to get out of this than we do. Can anyone honestly see us coming back from 2-0 down against the Scum and being a little unlucky not to take the lead or coming from 2-0 down at the Etihad to get a point. We have on paper better players than Burnley but they seem to want it more than us and play as a team. They may well go down with us but their manager gets the best out of what they have got, IF our Managers were able to do this, we would be sitting a little higher up the table. We are lucky this season that the Prem has been rubbish because we should have been long gone by now and to still have a chance at this stage beggars belief, 1 away result all season when into March and 5 home defeats on the spin since January 1st.
