RangersMedia 35,961 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 That team played a holding midfielder up front ??? unreal. But fair enough I guess. Surely they will attack us in the 2nd leg and we’ll have more space to play in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans of Moscow teams love to cry about refs but foul throws? OK, it happens, use your possession! Ref was just inconsistent. He didn't give a clear advantage of having the ball to us at 93 min. It was more like 8 or 9 foul throws to be fair, is it a Russian thing or just a UFA thing. My school football team were better at them than yours for fuck sake.

I’m genuinely not whining but for a professional football team at THIS level to commit about 6 or 7 foul throws is utterly ludicrous. The referee only penalised 1 (?) but should have been many more. I was more just shocked that guys at that level of football were continuously doing it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS RFC Robertson said in an earlier reply it looked like a defo penalty and never mentioned any handball. The ref gave them a foul from outside their box. He clearly indicated it was for hand ball.

Still 1-0 isn’t enough for over there we need a goal to settle things. Well if that’s the worst performance of a virgin manager and team we should all be happy given where we left of last season shouldn’t we? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's because we just or only got a 1-0 win, I was expecting us to win by two or three and maybe a few others had the same thoughts and we did have a few chances, I'm still confident we will go through, actually think we will get a similar result over there. The atmosphere was deflated compared to Maribor from before the game til after the final whistle. Don't understand why but it was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there was a sense of it not being as big a game or something. Such that the crowd wasn't as up for it. Hard to put a finger on it.

We don't really have much money so our transfer campaign is severely limited. And the departure of ex-head coach does not help much. Our previous manager was Sergei Semak who was recruited by Zenit, and it's a huge loss for the team. His assistant Sergei Tomarov is a local lad and he might do good but he is as experienced as Gerrard but he didn't have a career of world-class footballer. In fact, he never played Russian "league" football, only non-league. But he makes many mistakes here and there, with late substitutions and it seems that our quality in opposite third significantly worsened. I don't know how to rate this performance in terms of this season because it's likely we will never be in Europa League after this season (at least for long time) because it's hard to qualify via Russian league. But in terms of previous season it's not a good performance. I didn't like how Zaseev #13 played. He's a lad who came all the long way from 3rd division to premier league and europa but that's about it. The manager seem to like him very much because they worked a lot together. Oblyakov is our top young talent but he wasn't there for the most of time. Vanek needed to come off the bench earlier... he's a lad who can create chances if he's fully fit.

I assume Arfield was meant to dictate play but he seemed to be happy to let others do that job and while Jack is effective at breaking up play the quick forward pass is not his way.

The team does not like to attack. I think we'll wait for our chance until 75" and then go all in. The pitch is good, we have a harsh climate over there and it's difficult to maintain a grass pitch. The pich is 4th gen, not bad. Your lads have to get used to it though, so it's kind of advantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say though, it wasn't just that it dropped, it was poorer from the build up. But that's what I'm saying, that I think it might be that we regarded it a lesser game than Maribor, so weren't as up for it. He was right, yes. They need to learn that they'll have to do that sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to play "your best football" against us, I've seen it many times and counting. It might be frustrating to watch but a local team is a local team. And fairly qualified though.

True, maybe the traffic and parking problems didn’t,t help.Crowd seemed slow to come in and where I was people were still coming in in dries and drabs even 15 mins after kick off.
