Our midfield was assembled for thirty bob, 1000 nectar points and a provvie cheque (one for the older bearsđ) No praise is too high. Our front three also includes a player we signed for a fee greater than any other player in our history - bar one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billscott 2,463 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 i thought today was summed up when in about the 88th min defoe was back in the left back position trying to win tackles keep up that work rate and effort and we will be very hard to beat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with keepers, although we've never had any sustained pressure where it could potentially be a problem. It can throw you off your rhythm but weâve done it enough so far to show that itâs not disturbing our play, thatâs why I think it might actually be helping us now - players striving to stay in the 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Ranger 3,195 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Apart from a couple of draws where we really should have won the team have been great since pre season, but even so I canât remember being so nervous before every league game at this time of the season. Every match feels huge no matter the opposition and I donât begin to relax until we go 3 up. Going by some of the comments Iâm not alone.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if weâve not scored in the first 15 minutes the nerves only increase. Shouldn't be the case going on how well the team are playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you keep tabs on any combination of Aribo, Arfield, Hagi, Kent, Morelos, Roofe, Morelos, Defoe & Itten? That's before you take into consideration Tav and Barisic bombing up and down the wings. The movement of our front 5 today was superb. I'd love to see the heat map for Arfield and Aribo because they were everywhere today. Makes such a difference from the whole Jack and Kamara fiasco at Livi. I feel like we're starting to become a team who can win anyway. You want to play and open game? We'll beat you. You want to sit in deep? We'll beat you. Play 4 at the back? we'll beat you. Play 5 at the back? We'll beat you. This has been helped no end by the upgrades we've made in the summer. We needed more creativity so we signed Hagi. We needed more goals, we signed Roofe and Itten. It's worked a treat for us. We are no longer one dimensional.... We are not just playing keep ball, passing the opposition into submission and walking the ball into the net. We are bursting forward in all directions at pace. We are driving throâ the centre. We are bombing down the wings. We are shooting. We are scoring for fun. We arenât conceding goals. We are winning. We are a joy to watch. We are top of the league We are Rangers, super Rangers....

BlueKnight87 17,286 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 The football we've been playing is outstanding. What's more exciting is this sqaud look like it could still go up some gears as well. We've got such a strong depth and our players look hell bent on success this year. Long may it continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Nosed Babe 20,681 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 It is the fact we are beating teams without hitting top gear pleases me. That and we can make 5 changes and the team intensity etc does not change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle 53,590 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Last season for me was the epitome of âIt's the hope that kills youâ I was genuinely gutted at what happened post winter break but there had often been a feeling of fragility even when we were winning This season the hope is back with a bang, but thereâs a substance and strength to our performances and also to Gerrard thatâs making me really really optimistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wee triangles that Jardine, Russell and McLean used to play were a joy to watch, but we seem to be doing it all over the park just now, really good to watch, only slight criticism is we are guilty of over playing the ball on the edge of the box, more shots from outside the box like Kent's goal please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been saying for weeks its not wrong to acknowledge how good we have been, and we have, it doesn't mean we're overly confident or cocky about it all. đ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusDa Beasley 1,035 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Ended up being a wee bit annoyed we didnât annihilate them in the last 20 mins today but Iâll take an hour of brilliant football and 3 or 4 goals every week. Thinking about it, the dip towards the end was due to us conserving energy and resting players which could be crucial this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
