Best podcast all season by a mile

Clement is not the manager the fanbase thinks he is. The fans actually want a 4-3-3 narrow which is exactly the type of football Gerrard and Beale tried to implament.

We are trying to play a 4-2-3-1 wide. But, we do not have the players to make it work.

Excellent analysis from John.

Rather sounds like John reckons he's a better manager than PC.

John’s spot on btw 👍🏼

Hate to say this we have all been down this road many times but I don’t think clement is the man to take us forward yes board haven’t backed him but the players he does have look so unhappy and not giving the manager the best out them.

Celtic wouldn't be league one cannon fodder......by all means describe Rangers at that but don't label celtic the same 😂

All this pish about us needing Player, yes we need 2 forwards and a right winger, but where's the formation changes? Pressing off the ball, man marking, when the defence has the ball on the box the midfield is on the halfway line. Nobody looks for space. Clement isn't the man.

Seems to me hes working with what hes got and what hes got needs to be as fit as possible if the quality isnt going to be there any time soon. Wasnt encouraged by the constant long balls from Kelly and what the future of Rangers youth is looking like but it for me its not 😊their fault, they have nothing to look up to and the standards are far too low with the experienced players for them to kick on and improve. The pressure soon could be heaped on a lot of them if established quality are not brought in soon. Sad times.

John best podder, talks so much sense . 👌

sorry average birmingham city team you got played off the park

Average Birmingham City side come on we blew you away in that first half playing some fantastic football,let’s have some credit where credits due and don’t be so biased.I’ve always liked Rangers and wish you well for the season.KRO.

That was the highest quality tactical analysis I've ever seen in Scottish football. Brilliant stuff John, and the first time I've heard a good case that the problem is coaching as much as player quality/application. Worrying stuff.

And hows it gonna look if Cantwell goes away and tares it up for Norwich or wherever he goes and is scoring goals for fun in the next 3 months. Then Clement gets sacked or quits in the next 3 months. That WOULD happen to us.....🙄😮🫨

Clement is a reactive coach not a proactive. I wouldn't call him a manager as he isn't building his own team. Managers build their team and then adapt tactics & make the decisions for on the pitch. Coaches only do the tactics and in pitch stuff. And directors of football build the team. Managers do BOTH like Souness, Walter, Advocaat or Brenda at celtic. But anyway he's a reactive not proactive coach. Meanwhile Koppen is also a reactive rather than proactive DOF. Which is a very bad 👎 combination. Bad enough if just one of them wasn't proactive but both of them... plus the board itself is extremely reactice too never ever proactive. The clubs totaly leaderLESS. the best its been but still wasn't perfect by any means, was when Gerrard was there. Because he WAS a leader! They might not have given him the means to continue on & build upon what he'd avhieved so far. But he was a real leader but ever since he left theres no leaders at all! On and off the pitch. The so called "leaders" the captain is NOT a natual leader. You can hand somebody a piece if material they strap around theur arm & call them a leader.... but it doesn't make them one! We badly need some legit leaders at the club off the pitch aswell as on it. Trouble is to actually GET THAT, we need a leader a decision maker in the first place and there isn't any. Clement is a faux leader. A big beta male. A big dope who rabbits on TALKS A LOT without SAYING anything!

John Walker you are bang on the money fella 👌 great post match breakdown.

Unfortunately Clement appears to be a slightly old school manager playing in a modern game. We need organization on and off the ball, but our tactical approach is absolutely non existent. Muscat would have actually been the shout at the time, I never in a million years would have thought that.

No identity , press sometimes but far too easy to play through.Ive never seen it with Clement,he is not a good manager,for some reason he ll be here for ages before inevitable happens and found out.

Beale got the backing now no money left for clemante

So many good managers out there surely we can get one.

A league 1 Birmingham fc side btw, so bloody embarrassing.

Perhaps the board are not backing Clemente financially as they have realised he’s not good enough to take the club forward?

Top News for fans .. Brendan Rogers son was up on a rape charge...Did anyone find out what happened..this is all true

What di we have to get Goldson out ffs ...if we don't get 2 midfield players in we can forget about the champions League...some players can't be arsed running and chasing the ball..

I’d argue that we’re at League One level and I think Birmingham will beat us.

Rockin the Brandon Barker hairstyle lads 👍

Clearly we need a player who is a 10 on the ball and a 6 off the ball

Barron was poor and gave the ball away alot its strange the love in for a Aberdeen failure

As a Celtic fan I am glad James is going he’s always been a threat going forward. Defensively not the best. You will miss him when he’s gone

Goldson will be playing his new club this week hopefully they’ll take him back on the team bus to Birmingham

Not a good one this week boys - realise not all in the garden is rosy, but picking at the managers formation when he has to play the players he has is like complaining about the room service as the Titanic goes down. The manager has to piss with the cock he’s got, and right now that means playing a formation with players who aren’t suited to it - no point changing our philosophy and tactics because Dessers is shite, to then not be able to play the way he wants to play for the whole season when he gets the players he does want. The philosophy and tactics come first, at all levels throughout the first team and development teams, and then training, development and recruitment fill in the blanks

I'm sorry but that is a complete revamping of the history of tavernier. Tavernier NEVER had the ability to recover defensively. It was a glaring missing part of his play. He scored 67 penalties. Yes his assist records is fantastic but overall, as a senior player his mentality after losses and during big games (especially the old firm games) was horrendous. The moment things went wrong he would shrink on the pitch. And his drop off last season wass absolutely terrifying.

Good riddance to Goldson i wish him nothing but the worst. Tavernier leaves with my best wishes, however.

Traore is a no from me. Its the exact same signing we have been making a la Dessers. If we are spending that kind of money it needs to be on someone who is going to make us profit we cant keep throwing millions down the drain. Does he not also have a bad injury record as well. Love the podcast boys.

We should have went hell for leather after Garcia from Penerol. Young and free transfer. Missed the boat with that one.

Why say not want to talk about the Man U result but say pre season is good?

We will win Fuck all with this board in place, we need them all out the door, we need some new buyer and new board and likely new manager, because the longer this shit show goes on PC will walk, michael Beale gets the blame of massive spending its all lies, he brought millions in, no one else has brought in any decent money, its all a shambles at Ibrox, Pc will walk if we fall behind that mob, and get kicked into the europa league, the board are the real problem

Dessers is mince

You’re happy with Davie’s and Souttar as a pairing 😂😂😂 I have never heard any other bear say that. They’re both squad players at best

Trivia. Name a worse right back in the club's history than James Tavernier. I'm a teacher - so read the question carefully so as to answer logically.

Conner Goldsen should have been booted out the door after he ducked and allowed Frankfurt to equalise in the Europa Finals pure Diddy.

Same here guys totally agree euro draw tommorow at 11 am

I cannot believe lammers is staying turned down a club he is on 25-30 a week guys
