Brackley Bluenose 3,485 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Wow. What a difference that made. They never even looked like scoring tonight and we looked like we could have had 5 or 6. Fair play to Murty. The system really seemed to suit our personnel, with even players like Windass looking effective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

STEPPS BOY 41,081 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Worked tonight but away from home our full backs would get found out. Jack and McCrorie should be our two CDM’s in tough away games though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vanoli 3,568 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Nah not for me. Murty nailed it tonight, we won the midfield battle and that won us the game - great change. But we brought Candeias on just in time, Mcinnes to his credit sussed it out and his change nearly got them back in it. We can't go up there and leave no one on their fullbacks. As much as i'd like to leave things unchanged we'll have to go 433 up there, Candeias in for Pena, Windass to the left and leave Jack McCrorie and Holt where they are.

esquire8 18,661 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Been long, long overdue. We've played that 4-4-2 formation for far too long and it got us nowhere. We haven't got anyone for the left wing and Windass can't track back to save himself. Diamond or 3-5-2 was a obvious option to try change fortunes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

five stars 1,248 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Good to see us actual win the midfield battle. We actually created more down the right wing with Candeias not playing. If we only had 3 good forwards we'd have a excellent team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was brilliant to see it - best part of tonight for me and it wins you games. Winning 2nd balls, tackling hard, playing little triangles at times, getting it out wide as quick as possible - ok, it wasn't all perfect, we passed it to Pena a few times too, but generally a great midfield performance tonight.

Absolutely, we actually looked like a well coached team who wanted to win. Loved the emphasis on passing forwards quickly with one and two touch passes and third man runs. The system worked perfectly and showed how to easily cut through the 3 at the back formation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeparateEntityMyArse 45,887 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 The system worked tonight at home. Not convinced it' s suitable for Sunday. Thought out of it all Miller (again) was the weakest link. It's ok saying he ran wide and pulled players from the middle to allow space for others, but in honesty that's just bollox. He tries hard but contributes little. Same system on Sunday with Morelos instead of miller could be sexy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The system really seemed to suit our personnel, with even players like Windass looking effective. Formation didn't really change mate. Still 4 - 3 - 3 McCrorie in defensive mid was a good shout, the guy had an excellent game. I liked Windass and Miller switching around. Windass has so much potential, but always get the feeling he's in it for Josh, rather than Rangers. The Motherwell game at the start of the season summed his AS/ early Rangers career in up for me. Excellent on the ball, but didn't create (when it was easier than shooting) a scoring opportunity. Only praised because he ran 40 yards with the ball, then missed from a 10 degree angle. I always feel he should play more as a number 10, or even upfront on his own. He's got the size to hold the ball, pluss a bit of speed. Positive tonighht, just gutted I missed the first goal Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The way I was watching tonight was pretty much an attacking 4-5-1, with Windass and Miller switching. McCrorie DM, over 2 upfront with one joining midfield (Miller) was what made tonight seem so easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

McEwan's Lager 14,945 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Last night was the most tactically impressive Rangers team I have seen since perhaps away to Man Utd in 2010. That seems like an exaggeration but it’s not I truly believe that. It was well organised, exciting to watch and everyone had a clear role which contributed to the overall game plan. Not playing without an out and out striker meant Aberdeen’s defenders weren’t marking anyone and allowed a lot of players to get good runs in behind them from midfield. Only thing I will say is that CM role suits Holt but not quite Jack at the moment. Hopefully he can grow into it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
