Ben10 2,294 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I can see us winning there, but all eyes should be on Motherwell. The rancid Scottish media will try to turn this, they will use their journalistic acrobatics to portray that a 1 nil win in Europe signals the end of our honeymoon period. And completely ignore the fact the Tims couldn't defeat a team from Lithuania in a car park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Ref and assists were woeful,must be shareholders wi Specsavers ffs. How they finished wi 11 men I'll never understand? Dominant performance but didn't create enough chances. 1 up and it's half time,need a stronger Ref for the next one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven33jackie 1,960 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Still lack a midfielder who can make direct runs at a defensive line up, far to many sideway passing tonight which just gave them more time to set up to banks of four. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchieshearercaldow 22,240 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 For anyone being over critical tonight just remember last season, Pumped in the first tie keep a clean sheet next week and we are in the group stage not bad for a rookie manager and a new bunch of players.

Laudrupsleftfoot 11,190 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 A comfortable but frustrating watch. Been saying it since the start of the season but Candeias and Kent simply aren't enough. If you're playing with one up front your wide players need to carry a goal threat and they are fucking useless in that respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monk 3,208 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Another goal would have been ideal but can’t be disappointed with a win, an away goal in Russia effectively kills the tie now but think we’re solid enough to shut them out there, still along way to go though.

Bluerod 358 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Considering where we were at this time last season we are in a great position. The Master stroke was signing lafferty. He rests him next week and let’s Morelos do the business in Russia. On returning he rests Morelos and Lafferty does the business against the Mhanky Simple Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the brown brogue 1,922 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hard to judge the quality of Ufa as they offered nothing and made very little attempt to do anything other than waste time and break up play. But on that showing they looked as bad a side as you could wish to play at this stage and we should have been putting the tie to bed tonight. The fact that we didn't showed again that we are sorely lacking a creative spark going forward and Kent and Candeias are far too similar to play together. Tenacious and plenty of industry but very little attacking threat. We really need to push the boat out to bring in a quality wide man or two who can make chances out of nothing. As for the second leg, it's going to be a cagey affair and I don't expect to see many goals, if any. I think we'll do enough to make it through, hopefully without picking up any injuries.

The Ibrox Derry 8,968 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Personally I think the days of having to build up big leads at home in Europe are over. Players now are so used to travelling and playing in nearly every country, that the footballing world is smaller, with the addition of having players from around the world, the old home and away advantage in Europe is much slimmer than in days of old. The difference is now only geographical. The % chances of winning or losing are very thin lines nowadays Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 1 minute ago, bigsasasfloopyhair said: Ejaria had his best game in a Rangers top, jack was good too as was Candeias and personally found it strange to sub him when he was influential in the game. Def need to dip into the market for left hand side as Kent isn’t the answer in my opinion. Didn’t see anything going forward from them to be scared but 1-0 is a very limited lead. Lafferty booking was a joke ??? Candeias just doesn't offer much except effort and covering the fullback. The amount of time in games he just belts it anywhere across the box or messes up passes you would need a Seville calculator to work out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That mob were one of the worst sides I’ve ever seen us play, the fact they’ve got this far without knowing how to take a throw in is a miracle. Really? I thought they looked pretty handy and I expect we will need an away goal to proceed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
writingranger 1,426 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 solid and professional. We should be capable of converting more chances although on another night they'd have accumulated enough yellow cards for 3 sendings off and we'd have two penalties. They look dangerous on the counter but we will make chances which we must take. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue Legend 61,791 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Struggled to create anything tonight. Thank fuck their keeper is pretty pish and spilled the header for our goal. I think we'll need to score over there. Very tricky 3 games coming up. This will show where we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
