JimmyCR1 1,547 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 "Mendes was given another surprise call up in October 2009, and started in the FIFA World Cup qualifier against Hungary, he played the full match and set up the second goal in Portugal 3-0 win." Looks like we could be seeing him at the world cup next year if Portugal are able to qualify. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWhiteBlue1872 407 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Good to see him playing in a midfield with incredible talent, irelevant of how important the match is. Hes excellent on his day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardog 11 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I don't think he set up the 2nd goal. It was a guy who looked like him, but Mendes was #8 not #2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 358 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 i thought it was bruno alves set up the 2nd goal? Didn't see it, but the official site says it was Mendes. They could be wrong though! http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/He...1823211,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Player rating from Goal.com Pedro Mendes - 8: Fantastic match from the Rangers midfielder, who replaced suspended Pepe. Was 100 per cent focused on his job during the entire 90 minutes, even when his side were a bit sloppy. I missed the game but according to that he played really well so hopefully he can do that for us every weekend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hopefully his performance for Portugal will now be carried over into his matches for us as it is something we have been missing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 It's time he started concentrating on his Rangers performances. It starts on Saturday, another away game, this time he has to turn up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_RFC87 762 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 He played well under the 4-3-3 system, not so well since we've changed back to 4-4-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Not many play well in our 4-4-2 formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 In an ideal world he goes to the World Cup, plays well, puts a few more £m over his head and we sell him for a more than reasonable profit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we could be seeing him at the world cup next year if Portugal are able to qualify. Always makes me proud to see a GERS player playing for his country. Extremely happy for Pedro... class guy.. He has drifted in and out in the SPL. I don't really blame him. Tough place for creative players to play. Ross Tokely is the face of the SPL imho. But I expect so much more from him in Europe. Hasn't delivered yet. He will. And... Well done Pedro! Portugal are clearly a cut above our game.

cooper1989 0 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Not many play well in our 4-4-2 formation. I agree Muff. Pre season, we were brilliant in the 4-3-3. The only time we should change is in Europe against the bigger sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryH 15 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 We play 10 times better in the 4-3-3, Walter seen this in pre-season and f*ck knows why he's changed back to the 4-4-2, I thought this was something that was discussed at the European elite managers meeting Walter attended? There must be a reason behind this madness but what this reason is no1 except Walter will know. I should like to see Ally taking more responsibility as I think he will show more confidence in certain players Boyd, novo, Shinnie to name but a few. Also I don’t think he would be quite as pessimistic about our approach to challenging games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
