His close control in and around the box would get us so many penalties, goals and assists. I think if Jack had been available then Aribo would have had a more forward role. He played well considering he was asked to drop back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassettger 365 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hard game today and as I expected our midfield were a bit light. But great 3 points thanks to a good move and a defensive cock up. Helander was great and very necessary to handle all those high balls. Hope Steven Gerrard looks to attack celtic. Their defence is their big weakness. Sitting back is the wrong answer. Come on Rangers we can win this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siam69 26,874 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Like everyone else, was a bit concerned by this game. Nerves are gone every game at the moment unless we're at least 2-0 up and cruising. But was quite routine, nothing fancy, but certainly nothing worrying either. Clean sheet, no injuries, Roofe and Morelos scoring was great for us. Taigs are over their sticky patch now, though 7 points lost over it. Won't be an easy game, but it's must win for them, pressure on them for first time in years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wins league titles. If the clean sheets and wins start drying up, then I will worry. The form will pick up again, but the fact we are grinding victories shows a tougher side to the squad and a will to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been the difference in two of the last three wins against them. I wouldn’t start him, I’d play Hagi instead BUT depending on how it was going, I’d consider Kent at halftime when they couldn’t reorganise quickly - that’s why I’m NOT the manager 👍🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

docspiderman 1,225 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Comfortable with Aribo and Kamara outstanding, Goldson and Helander in control with Davis as forward sweeper but Kent was absolutely abysmal giving away possession so often. Great to see Alfredo getting a goal to add to his fantastic work rate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelvd1873 7,159 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 To be honest Gerard has got his tactics spot on for this game. It was always going to be shitey and scrappy.

We haven't even mentioned Itten either. There's a player in there as well. Been such a long time since we have had some real quality in the side, and options. It's a well blended squad so far. Agreed. I like big Cedric. Defo a player there. No fear with some of the boys coming off the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing like that and winning is what we done on a regular basis under Smith and Ally. Won leagues Correct. Thats exactly how you win leagues, thats a far more important result than pumping hamilton 8 nowt. Away from home against a more than decent team the 3 points ARE all that matters. I wonder if some of the posters on here can remember how we actually won leagues in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang on - Walter's teams used to go through periods like this and we had Laudrup, Gazza etc in them lol. I'd rather 10 shitty wins than 8 hammerings and 2 draws/ losses. It ain't pretty and plays havock with your nerves but if we get the job done, all good at the end of the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They exploited keystone cops defending where 2 guys under no pressure let it rattle around between them til they lost it. Even then, It needed a deflection to put it in. I’d say they were sharp to make it happen, but it was a long way off great! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
