Goldson is a good defender on ground level when it comes to tackling, winning loose balls, 50-50's etc but he's a tendency to lose his man at set-pieces (his passing isn't great either, but neither was the likes of Amoruso or Weir - in fact, their distribution was awful but they could defend well first and foremost). I have a feeling Griffiths will play. Helander would be man-marking him right out the game if it was upto me. That would be the instruction. No real goal threat that way unless someone like McGregor get's to run amok picking up space in and about (and behind us). Assuming Eduoard is out, that is.

Goldson has developed a lovely 50yrds ish cross field diagonal pass that we are always looking to exploit but agree his passing in the main should be better.

ZZed 4,510 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Strangely I feel confident about putting the Orcs to the sword in their own heap. If our players play at a reasonable level we will win. Every time they have played a half decent team they have fell apart, mostly in Europe. They will not play an eleven man defense and will come at us, this will suit us. 3-1 Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with Davis - apart from the chip through ball he attempts that has a 98% fail rate. Kamara is good in tight areas playing 1 2s, but think his long passing is poor tbh. Agree with Jack.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Aribo and Roofe may be back from injury but cannot start - not match fit - but handy options from the bench. Back 4 picks itself as does the front line. Biggest choice is Jack/Kamara. I would go with Kamara. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone even know what the issue is? I’m sure it was his calf he went down holding in Gibraltar. Boys been dogged by calf injuries at both Leeds and Anderlecht. Not like we didn’t know he misses decent chunks of the season. Whole reason I was against the signing from the start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
