I am aware, but they’re both meant to be back relatively soon no? No. Even if they are back in time for the spoon burners game and we have, for example, McCrorie and Goss bossing it in the middle, they aren't going to get straight back in. With competition for places rife now every single person has to earn their place. Neither of them have done anywhere near well enough to demand a starting slot in our team anyway imo.

Morelos I think.. I quite like the look of it. McCrorie can drop deep and play 4-1-3-2 or John can move up to Midfield and Cummings up top with Morelos for a 3-5-2. Quite adaptable. How well Bates would cope at LB would be interesting though and the only question mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanoli 4,625 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Aren't we jumping the gun on Goss? See how he does competitively against the shithouses in this league first. Otherwise, Murty has some major but brilliant headaches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit presumptuous to assume Goss is going to be “bossing it” though isn’t it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was unlikely before they arrived mate. Just feel 3-5-2 gives Tav and John or whoever you play in there more cover when they bomb forward.

Amac9 2,060 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Don't know what the starting eleven will be but at least our bench will look a million miles better. No Hardie, Niko, Pena, Herrera etc there just to make numbers up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBlue 136 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Odd that everybody is suggesting 4-4-2, 3-5-2 and 4-3-3 based on the signing of Cummings resulting in us playing with more than one up front. Firstly, we don't know that Murty necessarily plans to play with 2 up front. Secondly, he has already used a formation with two up, namely the diamond - hardly anyone has suggested this despite it clearly being a system he likes Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a hypothetical situation because the 2 players you mentioned and only one of them might only be back for the Hibs game, hence the hypothetical!

Drumloyal 14,967 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Foderingham Tavernier McCrorie Wilson John Goss Dorrans Candeias Murphy Cummings Morelos Fuck knows how we'll be lining up by the end of the month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right - hope so as I'm not a fan of the diamond. That said, 4-4-2 is a problem with proper wingers as well unless you have two top class CMs. It's so easy for the other team to play one up front and you get overrun in the middle.

Ready91 57 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Some combination of Jack , Dorrans, McCrorie, Halliday and Murphy. Real Rangers men right across the middle should add the fight we need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

offminorthreat 1,463 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Who would have thought in the summer that by January most of us would have a preferred starting 11 excluding Dorrans and Alves but including Jason Cummings Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Whatever formation we set up, hopefully it's a winning formation. Always been a fan of the 442 formation, but any formation that gets Rangers winning every week is my favourite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
