***** The Official Rangers vs Slavia Praha Match Thread *****

Clever fuckers. Know exactly how to get the refs attention and fouling Kent at every opportunity. I have seen enough to suggest we will score though.

[delparlane 5,660]

Never say die

[16BlueSherbert90 19,223]

We have been pretty much playing with 9 men...hope we can get it back to 11 after HT with Aribo and Arfield hooked...definiely Arfield anyway. Aribo did this first half last week then picked it up again 2nd half so maybe he needs another shake...?

[GA1972 9,556]

Given the problems Kent is giving them it might be worth getting Wright on the other side

That probably was a penalty. 

Let's use that luck and get back into this Rangers!

I can’t believe that ref didn’t give it tbf

[carrickblue 322]

best you can say is that we're still in this game. we look a yard short and playing at a pace that's making it comfortable for Prague. haven't been able to stretch them at the back at all. 

[BlueThunder 8,454]

Pretty poor. I felt they would score at some point but felt we would have goals in us. We look very poor in front of goal. They are controlling it and could easily score another as we push forward.

Something needs to change as we are meekly going out at home.

[stuart1994 4,303]

Roofe on for Aribo or Arfeild Take your pick, big Balogun the bombscare Is back. 

[BigDak 798]

This lot are the worst type of cunts: snidey tackles on us and falling around like dying swans when they get touched.

I know European football is supposed to be a show of skill rather than physicality but it’s effectively non-contact at times.

[the old guard 2,323]

Need hagi to come on and do a braga. 

[Bad Robot 21,152]

Cmon Rangers start playing and win this.

This is like playing bloody Motherwell the way they defend deep.

Well (pun not intended) hopefully the game goes exactly like the last time Motherwell came to Ibrox and scored first.

[BigBearButt 3,627]

Realistically we need three subs at halftime 😂 we will get none then maybe one after 65 mins 

[RDB14 2,760]

Also, that boy bouncing up off the ground after Morelos obviously called him a dirty cheating bastard.  Kind of proving his point.  Love how Alfie didn't even shrug, no fear.  Diving bastards man.

I don't think they are all over us. They are doing simple things well. Again, we can improve. We are making poor mistakes and their cynical fouling once again is working against us. Arfield off at HT please

They are absolutely not all over us. 

Commentators are acting like we are being outclassed which is odd.

Similar to last week, we’ve not been great but clearly still in the game.  We’ll make chances, and if the red takes control of the game they’ll not have the control they’ve had up till now

Difference with this week is massive pressure on us now, we lose a second goal its goodnight for us, and prague know it, they just need to keep us out and eventually we have to risk it all

[McEwan's Lager 30,530]

Balogun lucky there, completely all at sea. The back four have been quite poor in all honesty, maybe a bit harsh on Patterson but the other three have been all over the place. 

Game has bypassed Arfield. Needs hooked.

All avoidable to be honest. Think it's crazy he hasn't started Hagi or Helander. High line or not the organisational discipline that Helander brings to the side makes us so much calmer, and most importantly Goldson always looks much better alongside him. 

 

[Malkytfp1 18,594]

I don't think we can take Aribo AND Arfield off. I think he may even stick for ten minutes hoping they improve but if he is making a change canny see him changing both.

[shaka 1,674]

Arfield and Davis can't play together in midfield.   There is no pace or intent from midfield at all.   We're really missing the drive that Jack brings.

Need to do much better in the second half.  Would help if we ever manage to get a decent ref.

Definitely 

[BlueAvenger 10,242]

Fuckin poor performance so far. Arfield has been fuckin rotten. By fuck we need to up our performance in the second half. Fuckin give it go. Come on Rangers 

[esquire8 42,762]

Arfield definitely should not appear in the 2nd half. Get Hagi on and shift Aribo into the middle. 

Other thing that's annoying me is how we are ignoring Patterson on the right when attacking. Few times hes had a good 20 yards of space and no one picks him out. All our attacking play down the left makes us very predictable.

[sergi1980 311]

This lot are a bunch of fucking fairies, we can win this

[Ivybank 4,580]

Airfield dreadful again

patterson at the goal ,his position was terrible

kent fouled every time

cant see us not conceding again😪
