tannerall 25,935 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 2-0 up in the second half they were playing the ball all over the place, great passes, confidence high after recent successes, teamwork, and sheer footballing ability. Was a joy to watch to be honest. Unless you were a Rangers fan. But then the wee bits of magic that us Gers fans have not experienced for over a decade kicked in. Hagi still full of confidence that the great footballers with ability have, pulled us in with a great goal. An then the real magic happened, we started to believe in ourselves, our ability, our passion, the desire to win. It's what the great teams of yore were all about, we worked the shift, we made our own luck. Thw Aribo subsitution was inspired, even desperate, butthe magic of that goal will live in our minds forever. And then we excelled. Braga are a good football team, and who knows, perhaps their technical abilities may even win this tie. But what tonight proved is we are now team who can battle on, make our luck and show the resolve of the great teams, who have the ability to achieve greatness. (By the way this was a team effort without Morleos, he tried a few one off things but his contribution fell short again tonight, the sooner he starts to get his act together again the better, but no great worries he will come good again, but tonights result was up there with our greatest performances in Europe.) And not to forget, in my opinion our "Player Of the Year" so far, was the most crucial part of the process. Take a bow Allan McGregor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrup1690 1,064 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 When of best teams I’ve seen at ibrox in a long time no doubt but we were very poor for 60mins! some come back that mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,253 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Their organisation is excellent. Their passing cutting. Probably most impressed I've been all season with an opponent. But by fuck they got rattled when we got in about them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting them know there is no surrender from start to finish, we are the people. The fans know this and hopefully Mr Gerrard and our team will find that self belief consistently.

G.E.C. 18,633 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Outclassed us for 65-70 minutes. As good as they are they do give plenty of space and chances away so need to take them. Wolves scored 3 over there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshirebear 2,768 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 They couldnt defend for toffee. Morelos should have had a hat trick and set up two for Kent!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,287 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 We have to show then no respect next week. If we do, they will thump us. Go there to win the game. If we go looking for a tie they will cut us open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go there to win the game. If we go looking for a tie they will cut us open. I think we need to box clever. I wouldn't be looking to play them off the park in football terms They have an ability and confidence to find an out ball to space quickly, we need to be prepared to man mark all over the pitch for most of the game, Then if we get a break and score we need to hold it rather than open up.

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 They are a good outfit but I couldn’t help thinking our midfield 3 were just completely struggling which made it easier for them. We have so many players out of form or lacking confidence , Davis for all his experience has been stinking for weeks and the last thing we needed was Braga to be so slick. hagi dragged us back into the game and hopefully his desire will run off on the others.

Ger_onimo 20,488 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 We’ll have some decent support in the ground, unlike them tonight. One of their stands is a hill. No fear over there and we can do it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 73,142 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 They’re the best team i’ve seen at Ibrox in past two years. The number 27 and 60 ragdolled Davis,Arfield,Kamara and Kent for 65 mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeIsBlue 66,498 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Easy to see why they're the best team in Portugal atm, really good side but we're more than capable of getting through the tie.

Canabear 4,558 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 A very good Footballing team who came to play and never set 10 men behind the ball. Mind you they had 12 men on the park and once SG took Kamara off the playing field evened up and look what happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkytfp1 18,478 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Let's no undersell this, they are an excellent team in red hot form just now. No one has or is beating them.....We just did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanjo 26,294 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Their defending was terrible tbh but were a good technical team from middle to front. They couldn't handle us when we went 2 up front... early wake up call for Gerrard hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
