jjbscotty12 3,560 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 First of all delighted we got the win! Although Alves is fucking useless in a back 4 in my eyes I really think we should be going a 3-5-2 in future if alves is to continue in this position, the amount of times he was caught ball watching in that first half was criminal and I have seen it umpteen times from him this season.

Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Whether it was Alves or a combination of them all, at times tonight we look absolutely all over the place defensively. To their credit they were much more solid in the last 20. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,835 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 To be honest, I expected a lot more from our summer signing. Have yet to see him really crunch anyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one header he won I thought hibs were on to score as they had 2 men. We can't really judge our defence at the moment because it's been in constant change since the start of the season. We've probably played about 8 different players in defence so far?? edit, it's 9 different players across the back 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGOH 2,344 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Danny Wilson was utterly outstanding tonight. A captains performance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,444 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Wilson was the best player on the park by a mile. Alves sold us for their goal, recovered in the 2nd though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSURRENDERSTEFANKLOS 33 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 When Alves had 2 other centre backs to organise, he was solid. Up until that point, he really struggled Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_1 1,136 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Was awful first half. Slow, out of position and looked half arsed. Second half was more himself, organised well and was on the end of most things. Best performance I've seen in a Rangers shirt second time round from Danny Wilson however.

stewaj3 1,446 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Alves has been great the last 3 games. Shaky at points tonight but you know what... We won. I'll let him have that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DariuszAdamczuk 548 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I'd give Cardoso a shot next to Wilson Alves' defending was shocking for the first goal, rinsed by Simon Murray and his insistence on launching nothing long balls is maddening Watching the 2 centre halves tonight he didn't look like the one who had won the Euro's last year, Wilson carried him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LochendBilly 8,413 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 You know what? I am just happy with the win. Easy to find negatives but it's a team game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowX 146 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 At fault for the goal and looked a real lack of desire to stop his man breaking into the box. Very good second half. As a defensive unit we are strong dealing with balls being launched in but struggle when teams get the ball down and drive at us. Particularly on quick breaks at home.

TheKingObv 10,642 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Moves around like his knees/ankles or something have gone. Painful to watch at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkytfp1 18,594 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 With Alves Ive not seen a centre half dominate the air in so many games since the likes of big Amo. Recovered well tonight after his mistake for the goal. Where he lacks pace he has good positional sense. Failing that Kenny can play that position.

He was right to try and block the shot and unlucky the ball ended up in his own net. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Don't think he's giving us any less than he does for Portugal or previous sides in recent years. For the goal he was at the front post facing their player with the ball and as soon as it was passed he broke inside and tried to block the shot. Unlucky with the deflection. If anyone expected him to take command by beating players, winning every tackle etc then you're going to be disappointed. For organising a defence and getting the best out of central defenders he is doing great. The fullback positions are terrible defensively which is exposing the centre backs.

Gazza1212 1,212 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 No point in beating about the Bush with the big guy he's been a huge disappointment. Was convinced he would bring all the aggression and commitment our defence lacked last season but the truth is he has added very little.
