Glasgow Rangers’ impressive start to the season hit its first real stumbling block against Livingston on Sunday.
The Gers went into the match after having won their first three games, whilst they didn’t even concede a goal in the process. They did manage to keep a clean sheet in this latest clash as well, but this time around they were unable to provide any real danger at the other end of the pitch and had to make do with a 0-0 draw.

For this match, Steven Gerrard was without midfielder Joe Aribo, who scored in the previous match against St. Johnstone. As such, the former Liverpool man brought in Scott Arfield to replace him. Unfortunately, though, the Canada international did not have the best of games, picking up a very disappointing WhoScored rating of just 6.1.

The Gers fans, it is fair to say, were far from happy with his performance – one even called him a “liability”. They took to Twitter to share their thoughts, and you can see some of the best comments from the social media platform below.
slowly losing patience with arfield

Arfield is actually like playing with 10 men. All he does is lose the ball and give away fouls

Badly needing a CM who will change games and not afraid to shoot. Arfield and Davis is not going to win us the league.

Problem is we don’t have enough midfield options. Arfield was horrendous and Aribo was injured but we had to have 2 in midfield. Not sure taking Hagi off was the right idea though

Jack, Kamara, Arfield is where Rangers go wrong. Not good enough👍🏻

We are lacking a goal scoring midfielder and leaders from the middle of the park. Hagi is wasted to accommodate Jack and Kamara. Arfield should be punted. Been kidding on he’s a professional football player for 2 seasons.
