nvager 498 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Rangers versus Motherwell at Ibrox stadium, Glasgow, on Saturday February 12, 2011. Kick-off 3:00 PM.Rangers are second in the SPL with 53 points from 22 games and have a goal difference of +27 goals.Celtic are in first place with 58 points from 24 games and have a goal difference of +39 goals.Motherwell our opponents have 28 points from 23 games.Rangers simply must win this game to stay in contention for the SPL title. There should be no excuses. We are at home against a fairly poor side. M'well did of course give us a decent game at Hampden a short time ago in the semi-final of the Scottish Cooperative Insurance Cup and that will give them some confidence, but we really should win this game fairly comfortably if we play anything like our best football.Surely we can play an up tempo pressing/attacking style of play and for 90 minutes. We did it against Kilmarnock so we know it can be done. Less negativity and play with two strikers. Walter must have learned something from our recent displays. Let's hope so.Is it possible we can give Bartley a chance and see what he adds to the team? He could play in a number of positions - RB, CH, defensive midfield.We need to play with two strikers but Lafferty is not fit so let's play either Naismith or Healy alongside Jelavic.Diouf has done fairly well so lets have him in midfield alongside Davis and Ness and maybe Bartley as the defensive midfielder? If not then use Edu or Hutton there or alternatively just play Wylde out wide left or Diouf with Weiss on the right. Plenty of choices.The team needs some change in personnel and/or formation to gee it up. The recent displays have been lethargic to say the least.We seem to play too deep and too defensively of late. We are not pressing teams up the field. Teams are passing us off the park - even with less men.This must change and I believe it will on Saturday.My team would be McGregor, Whittaker, Bougherra, Weir/Bartley, Papac, Diouf, Davis, Ness, Wylde/Weiss, Healy/Naismith and Jelavic.Prediction: Rangers 3 - 0 M'well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weir has been great but he is holding Rangers players back. Im sure Bartley can hold it against Motherwell. Fuck these sitting midfielders. Rangers need to start attacking as a team! not covering weir and his lack of pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Nah mate. No Papac.I don't rate him at the best of times but we need to start thinking long term and for alternatives anyway if he's out of contract at the end of the season.That's just me, though - I know others rate him.

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 That young guy Cole looked ok.In Turkey I thought he looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights, but at the end of the day he deserves a chance as that wasn't a good game to throw the lad into.But yeah, against Motherwell he couldn't do worse than say Foster. Fair enough shout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue corn flakes 1,282 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Its gonna go down like this! 4-5-1Walter- Right Jamie and Steven you sit back and give big Davie cover. Just give motherwell the ball and let them try and break us down. And Davie, when you get the ball! just pump it up the field. Jela you can chase everything down and if you get the ball? hold it up and wait for your team to come up from the 18 yard box. BUT MAKE SURE YOU COVER BIG DAVEY.

Muff 245 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Can cut this one up top pish out for a start. Even with someone in the hole, it's still a negative, turgid, shower of crap.We are never going to play the way we all want it to be, so we should be going 4-4-2. Jelavic needs a partner - everyone can see that, about time the manager did.100% focus on this game, no-one better have their minds on Sporting CP - the manager especially!
