GaryMc 2,394 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I think we'll see a better Defoe with Jack, Kamara and Arfield supporting him. They 3 can pass forward at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie0202 12,272 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Good to see Andy back in the team. The plastic pitch has probably got something to do with it but TBH I'm not really a fan of Barisic. I recognise he does have a cracking cross from time to time but I just can't take to him yet. Happy to be proved wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKnight87 17,285 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I would have preferred two up front as Defoe hasn't looked great in that loan role. Hope we have a better plan than lump high balls up to him again. Jack Kamara and Arfield should get better passes to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAvenger 10,237 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Defoe as the loan striker again....fuck sake. Anyway come on Gers just fuckin win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1690tamRFC 5,001 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I think with Arfield in the team we will see more passes suited to Defoe’s style of play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,440 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Play to Defoe’s strengths and he’ll score. If the team can’t adapt then they shouldn’t be playing, simple. The team really need to get a grip and stop playing like they have Morelos up front when he’s no playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misteral 2,932 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Fair enough starting XI and bench. Don't see this as a struggle, 4-0 or 4-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I hope arfield has been practing his finishing. I think he will get a few chances today and we need to take them. Don’t see Defoe getting that much service or space as accies will pack the defence going for 2-0 arfield and candieas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaka 1,673 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Arfield and Kent will need to make sure they play a lot closer to Defoe for this system to work. It needs quick passing, one twos and chances to be created for Defoe to finish. No aimless crossing or long balls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Should be Lafferty over defoe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of folk writing off Defoe as lone striker but he hasn't been getting quality balls delivered to him. His goal against the mutton molesters shows what he can do imo.

Prso's headband 35,440 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Also start taking more shots from outside the box, thanks the whole Rangers support. We seen what happened at Livi when Jack took a shot on, keeper fumbles it. That can happen, it can rebound to our player, go for a corner etc, no idea why we don’t do it often Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie1387 57 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Dont fancy Defoe up front himself but Arfield playing today might help him. If it doesnt work out for Defoe today and he wants to shoehorn him in then we will have to change our formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he does but a lot of our midfielders don't really have the skills or confidence to try it in a game but you can see for example Jack has started taking on more long range shots than he used to.

LegendofCoop 17,273 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 As fair a team as I would want. So long as we play balls into Defoe's feet, we could get 3 or 4 today. Come on the Gers!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muz333 359 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I’d have stuck with Barasic. Yes he’s not been performing too well but I definitely see potential and the only way to reach it is playing games building fitness and match sharpness.
