What Steven Gerrard thought of Rangers' first half and their 'lack of control' second

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Steven Gerrard last night blasted his players for blowing a Europa League glory night at Benfica. The Rangers boss blamed a lack of order and defensive naivety for a late collapse which saw the Ibrox men lose a 3-1 lead against ten men to end up with just one Group D point despite a magnificent performance in Lisbon.

He could hardly contain his frustration after seeing his team allow a third straight win to slip through their grasp on a dramatic night at the Stadium of Light.And the two halves drew wildly different verdicts from from the gutted boss.He said: “I think it was a matter of game management.

I don’t think we managed the game at 3-1 well at all, certainly out of possession.“At 3-1 we just needed to keep good positions and control.
