***Official Rangers V Marseille thread***

Like Most pleased at how that half has gone. Some really good stuff there and to a man they have all done really well. I have zero negatives... Its only a friendly but its better than almost any performance last year. I'd say we have been on top and look more threatening.

My concerns though are around how we break down a team putting 10 behind the ball. We look decent in this game but Marseille actually try and play football, which means there are gaps for us to play some football. I'd still think there is a lot of work to do but very positive.

Very pleased with candeias who to be honest i thought was going to be a complete dud, but this is giving me lots of positive vibes. Now all we need is dalcio to come on and score a hatrick and things will be looking rosy for Pedro again.

4-4-2 seems to suit us better.

I think we're looking rather solid in this 4-4-2. Not feeling nearly as scared for the domestic season to kick off now.

IMO, we are always best going 4-4-2 at Ibrox. Have never understood the need to play more than 1 defensive midfielder at Ibrox....especially when we're going 4-3-3. We just don't suit holding back and trying to hit on the counter...especially with our recent personnel.

Goals win games.

We're still not scoring goals. 

The promise or threat or creating opportunity of scoring goals is not the same a scoring goals.

Goal scorers need to be found.  And found very soon   

You should change yer name to the bad news bear mate 

[MrMckee 3,420]

Morelos instead of miller and could possibly be our best team

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,728]

Hopefully not tinker too much.

Morelos for Miller.

Pena for Dorrans or Niko if he tires.

Get to 70/75 mins as competitively as possible.

 

[Fergie_6 1,078]

Pena has got to be better than miller, cannot find a pass

[EastEnclosureBear 2,919]

Alves and Cardoso barely broke sweat, the odd clearing up to do. Candeias is lively, harassing that full back and he's fucking rapid. Herrera still needs to convince me. 

[bombaybadboy08 15,660]

Shiting myself here as I'm struggling to think of anything negative. Hopefully Pedro wears a tracksuit for the second half or something.

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,728]

Normally a number 9 priority to score goals.

[Jakes Pal 5,584]

Quite liking this Portuguese commentator. Seems to know what he is talking about, making a lot more sense than Tom Miller.

[Dee 27]

Defo doing better than I expected, they are at least showing a bit of fight

Morelos will be ur man, he'll score the day mate. 

Aye, I'm really hoping he can grow into the role mate. 

[Darrenmt7 656]

Alves is defo what that defence was missing, Feel less para with him in.

[duffy2391 574]

This is refreshing, evidence of the team gelling and keeping a shape. Great efforts all round so far.

Yep.

Good shape. Chances. Strong in tackle.

At times a bit slow to capitalise on breaks but I'll tell you what.... there's the basis of a good team there.

Need more pace up front, need more from Miller and Dorrans, but considering opposition that's a pleasing 1st 45.

Millers age is really showing. I suppose he wont be playing this level of team every week.

I think we should with it. We are holding our shape so much better which helps us in defence but it also helps us going forward. Finally starting to see the benefits of Pedros attacking drills because we are holding our shape and we look so much more dangerous going forward.

Don't want to get ahead of myself here but I will wank myself into oblivion if we have a solid backline this year

Windass will satisfy your desires in the 2nd half. 

[Vanoli 4,625]

wtf when did Laudrup play for Clyde 

[He's blue he's white 717]

A solid spine of hard tackling quality has made massive improvements, just hope we start finding a goal threat. 

[GOAT 30,449]

Miller getting booed in this half time video from Clyde years ago.

 

its probably me no no gonnae lie.  

[graeme_4 34,536]

Bonus of Ibrox being half empty means my 4G actually works. 

Team has done well, Candeias has surprised me in particular and Jack really does a good job at covering and protecting the back 4. 

Miller has been poor again though - hoping Morelos comes on.
