Shuggy 1,308 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I felt that was a game we had to win considering the next three will be tougher than the last three matches. Villareal look an improving side and so I think our best chance is to win in Vienna, draw in Moscow and draw against Villareal - 10 points and through. But, hey great to be in the group and undefeated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserJon 12,392 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Former Rangers striker Steven Thompson on BBC Radio Scotland For Rangers supporters, it's probably been unthinkable, to be on this type of run in Europe. That's six clean seats, which is sensational. Don't know what six clean seats will get us at the end of the league stages but ST seems to think it is important, really have to laugh at the BBC and the slapdash online stuff, surely someone checks these things before they get posted!!

ForeverAndEver 71,363 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 We weren't great imo, and we should have scored 2 or 3. Candeias fucking up the cross to Ejaria, Grezda and Coulibaly not sliding/gambling for the cross Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Soprano 13,964 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Thought Goldson was pretty poor tonight tbh, along with Coulibaly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,680 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 why did Coulibaly not at least stretch for that perfect cross from Morelos? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't really see him do anything wrong or spectacular but I'm beginning to see why Worrall is the better option than Katic but only barely. It's fine line.

King Jela 20,360 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Frustrated and disappointed. Strange game tbh. They were there for the taking and we didn’t seem to want it enough, which is even stranger considering how good a position we would’ve been in had we won, sat back off them far too much imo. Especially disappointed after the second half considering we didn’t seem to change the strategy much, if at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RosscoRFC87 216 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Frustrating night bears, one of those ones. Here’s the things that pissed me right off: - Tav’s corners - the long ball route [devoid of ideas] - giving it away so easily - quality of passing - no midfield general - Flanagan (acknowledge lack of matches) - Grezda , pretty underwhelming - the referee I think we missed Arfield, seemed like a severe lack of back to front and good passing (playing football) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candeias fucking up the cross to Ejaria, Grezda and Coulibaly not sliding/gambling for the cross Candeias should've shot instead of attempting that pish cross. Coulibaly not getting that tap in is so frustrating, as is Grezda not finishing that chance at the end. But I think Kent could've taken the shot on himself, from where I was sitting their wee cunt of a keeper left a massive gap, plus Morelos was there to pick up any scraps. All round frustrating night. Spartak were there for the taking in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosscoRFC87 216 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 When you hear in the press these guys are leaving most of their international players at home for the league game on Monday and that they had just sacked their manager and the fitness guy took over, were you not thinking “we’re going to walk this” I did...I thought they chucked this to salvage their league form. obviously wrong, i was on the bandwagon but the 11/10 or 23/20 odds didn’t seem to reflect this or change so I had my doubts, ultimately we were shite and not clinical in front of goal. This Spartak team didn’t actually seem to be the mugs I was expecting and were very compact, time wasting and diving cunts obviously playing for the draw and counter attack. We should have been better in front of goal or intact with the ball itself.. no excuses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just saying the media made them out to be half a squad with a physio as a manager in turmoil and I can assure I wasn’t the only one to take the bait At the end of the day I’m just disappointed as we all, but if we didn’t have powderpuff tonight we would have got the 3 points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dribble between two defenders in the 94th before Grezda skied it was amazing. And so much more..... Still, he is not the finished article but neither was Sterling or even now for that matter.

backup 4,724 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 On further reflection, the utilisation of substitutes leaves a lot to be desired, hopefully SG addresses this attribute very seriously in future times. However a very welcome eleven match record nonetheless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy 731 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 They were there for the taking in the first half, they seemed to take heart that they went in level at half time, plus their substitutes, gave them a lift. Still think we made enough chances to win although we didn't seem to press enough in the second half, we'd put them under a bit of pressure but just couldn't sustain it for long enough. There were times I was thinking " keep pushing, keep pushing, they're ready to concede, they look resigned to it" then we'd ease off and give them easy possession. Also think we missed Arfield to link up the play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s never good in Europe knowing we have to go away and get something. The must win game is Rapid Vienna as you say. Taking anything from the other matches away will be tough in my opinion.

STEPPS BOY 73,790 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I reckon Spartak will beat us and rapid over there so we would need 4 points from Villareal and Rapid to qualify.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
