While you have a point with the offside comment, IMO you are miles off with the first part. The Maribor players spent the entire game trying to bait him, niggle at him, kick him etc. he done really well to only react the way he did, and his holding of the ball in the later stages was crucial. He is a massive player for us. He does need to calm down a bit, and he does need to do better at not being offside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a magnificent and professional european away performance given the lead we had. There was no need to take risks. The onus was all on them tonight and we knew they would press us. Also, there are increasing signs of some key players, like our CBs and Ryan Jack who looks reborn under Gerrard. And what a return from McGregor. Yes they had chances but we were mainly solid without being really defensive. When we got the ball we were calm in possession and played short passes and played in the channels etc. I think Gerrard will be delighted with the performance of the squad tonight, all the more so given injuries and suspensions we had. The performance was shite result was great. if we had a decent striker rather than Morelos Tavs excellent pass would have finished the game but no he ran offside again.

Jakes Pal 5,574 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I am celebrating finishing a game with 11 men. Seems to be an achievement for us given some of the referees we have had so far. Well done tonight, did what we had to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO Refs that make poor decisions should be challenged frequently, otherwise they just keep getting away with it. Hope SG can get some of our yellows rescinded.

Morelos was class today. He was bullying their defence all day and ran them into the ground. It's the reason they resorted to play acting and trying to wind him up. He is the key to how we play. Without the work he does up top, we would be doing nothing but defending all game. He gives the out ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMotor 2,208 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Fuck me, there are some right fucking weapons in this thread. That was a superb team performance and we've got people bitching about player attitudes and the odd stray pass. Muppets. That was a proper display by a proper Ranger's team tonight.

That is utter pish. He relieved pressure on us so many times holding the ball up and ran himself into the channels at every opportunity. He was one of our best players tonight. We had a very clear gameplan and he was a big part of that. He needs to not motion with his head as the cunts in Scotland will send him off for that but besides that he was absolutely solid. Our whole 11 done fine, the only player I felt was slightly off the pace was Ejaria. He is alright in possession but doesn't seem to offer much going forward or defensively, just kind of drifts about and gets involved in the odd triangle of passing here and there.

How well he does up there on his own at holding it up and waiting for support, at 21 too, is brilliant. He'll always have a temper. Whenever somethings about to kick off the closest player in a Rangers top should get right between him and the opposition, I like him being fired up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There still was 10 players on that pitch that made the sheep shaggers look like fools. and a defensive lapse in the closing stages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendofCoop 17,273 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I honestly wasn't worried at all after the first 15 minutes. We just looked so composed at the back and Gerrard's pre-match comments worked in our favour. IMO, he knew that by saying that they had to come out and attack and leave space for us to counter, would men they shut up shop a bit. And that's how it went really. They really only went for it that last 15-20 minutes. I knew by then our defence was solid enough to cope. I still think we need another goal threat. I can't see Arfield, Murphy, Ejaria or Jack getting the 10-15 midfield goals we'll need in the SPL. I love watching this team again though, it's all coming together nicely!!

You have a small point regarding his petulance and willingness to get involved, but you have to take into account how he is treated on the park.
