I still believe we have some real quality players and they\u2019re all desperate to turn it around.

They now sit third in Group C but Davis insisted the players gave their all against Limassol.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u2018There wasn\u2019t a lack of effort. Everyone is trying to do the right thing in many ways.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We would never question that from the dressing room.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think we caused a lot of our own problems in the game. We were disappointed with the two goals we gave away. When that happens, you have a mountain to climb.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In the first half, we kept trying to play in the middle of the pitch when it wasn\u2019t really on, and they were good at getting transitions from that with the pace they had up front.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Whenever you go behind in a second half, you must throw some caution to the wind at certain points. But, ultimately we didn\u2019t do enough to take something.\u2019<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12600357\/Scott-Parker-throws-hat-ring-Rangers-job-Frank-Lampard-Kevin-Muscat-remain-favourites-succeed-Michael-Beale-Ibrox.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scott Parker throws his hat in the ring for Rangers job although Frank Lampard and Kevin Muscat remain favourites to <span class=\"more-text\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295292,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
