Essandoh 21,224 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 What’s the old saying? You’re only two games away from a crisis at Rangers? Seems appropriate. Drop any points here and we’re handing them yet another advantage so early on the season and a reminder that our squad will always collapse when it matters. Must win.

Was just about to post the same mate, might have gone against us a little that Dykes was out. If they had any attacking intention at all we might have been able to exploit that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave Jack as the defensive MF (more than enough against teams who sit in) with Barisic and Tav overlapping as required. Aribo in the centre is his best position with Kent and Hagi running off him. 2 up front is the key for me and I’m sure we would be more effective. But like you said, what do we know. Hagi needs dropped. Fucking slow as fuck and paperweight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,957 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I'm not sure why the majority pick Balogun over Helander. To me, Helander is extremely underrated. Wouldn't be a forum without different opinions I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we get so many selections in a match thread is a good sign. If Katic were fit, many would pick him so that makes five. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be a forum without different opinions I suppose. I rate Helander and think he's arguably our best centre half, particularly in Europe or a big game (although we've not really had a chance to see him in an OF apart from the final where he was possibly fucked). However we missed Balogun yesterday. Helander was often taking 2/3 touches to complete a simple pass from the back. Thing that has impressive me about Balogun is more often than not he passes with his first touch. That might have got the ball moving a bit quicker yesterday. Plus he might have thought fuck this and gone on a Bougherra-esque run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,581 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 The vast majority of that squad and management don’t have the will or urgency to win. That hasn’t changed in 3 years and won’t change now. When we start taking digs from outside the box again, Gerrard won’t be here. Constantly feels like the team have the shackles on and its fucking boring Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it's the fact that some folk think Goldson is a bombscare and some feel that it's Helander . Personally, I think Goldson and Balogun are our best pairing, followed by Edmundson. Helander blows hot and cold for me - looked shaky yesterday and just feel there's an accident in there waiting to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a strange running style but once you get over that, he is extremely effective. We rarely concede when he plays. I'm sure someone can find the actual stat but it is good.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,609 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 If anyone thinks we'll change from the 433 with 2 number tens coming inside and smothering all the space in the middle then they are on fucking glue Killie will have watched sundays game and spend all week working on how to do what livi do, except they'll have a goal threat Unless gerrard and co change it up completely we'll struggle and most likely drop more fucking points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looked solid this season (and in pre-season) Dropping him wouldn't really be doing so on merit, it would be doing it because of holding a grudge from all the individual errors from last couple of seasons. Goldson is the least of our worries in the team atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
