We needed our boys to stick it to them. I don't think that a powderpuff like Buffel is the answer for a game like tonight's. Darcheville up front. Novo perhaps. But our back 4 needed to mark much tighter. they played scared from the kickoff. Not acceptable.
Either way it's going to be a fun ride for us. Already has been. To get through the toughest group in the CL and still be playing after Christmas is a nice result.
Here's the group:
Barca 10
Rangers 7
Lyon 6
Stuttgart 0
Now, we still play Lyon and Stuttgart again. A draw against either and we're still playing after Christmas. A win against either and we're in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Why should we bitch about thier play. They beat us and it was good enough to win comfortably. How about bitching at our back 4 for being so sloppy. Fer fuck's sake we gave them about 10x the respect they deserved. That's why we lost the game.
It was a fucking brutal tackle. The guy was out to injure for sure. As much as I hate Celtic, there's no cause for that at all unless the injured player's name is Neil Lennon.
Totally unacceptable. Smith HAS to learn. Old dogs and new tricks though.
Faye shouldn't ever play for rangers again, and 451 should be only for Europe.
Rangers looked far better after the change to 442. But it was too late in coming. Rangers have had all the chances in the last 35 minutes, but it should have been 90 minutes.
