*****Rangers v West Ham United*****

Was working and couldnt watch the game but was nice to read the whole thread. Seems that the new guys are starting well. I know its just a friendly, but we look capable of getting that CL group stage.

Lawrence involved in 3 goals playing through the centre...

Winger but. He’ll play through the middle a lot more than on the wing for us

[The Specky Forum Organiser 65,724]

McLaughlin obviously going to be number 1 which is good news.

Mentioned it before in the thread my mate from University is the media manager for West Ham. Been messaging him after the game and he was very impressed all round with everything.

No chance.

He was clearly put in there because the new lad wasn't available, Lowry is injured and Kamara was needed to play deep.

He did very well though. 😂

I'd just like to add declan rice baths wae his maw.

Should we mention that midfield 3 that cost £50k in fees has just made the £100m Irish/English wonderkid look like a park player for 50 minutes.

For twenty minutes at start of second half it was everything we want when attacking.

Pace, movement and players in box.

Lot of chat about their places being up for grabs or being sold but i thought Barisic and Kamara were excellent. 

Both were very good. Kamara especially. Would still like someone to challenge Borna for that spot but he was like the two seasons ago Borna tonight.

Does @G.E.C.know zouma is getting booo'ed?

I booed him to show solidarity to my cat.

Was very impressed by Colak tonight. I think he’ll score goals for fun up here. 

Matondo seems to be what we’ve been missing on the right for so long. 

Lawrence seems to be the player we’ve all wanted Arfield to be.

Sakala still has a nice smile.

We would have won the league last year if we’d managed to get Lundstrum, Kamara and Jack playing for a decent number of games. Fingers crossed the 3 of them can stay fit

[ayro 3,105]

Only a friendly but Kamara bossed that midfield tonight, don’t want to see him leave but I don’t understand why the likes of West Ham don’t look at him, 10-15m and 50k per week salary, cost effective signing rather than a lot of the pish, overrated EPL muck.

Think we're in a position where we don't really need to sell anyone else to be honest.

Agreed, I just don’t get why mid table EPL aren’t in with what I suggested given his profile.

Experienced international, ex EPL academy, say 30-40 EL games, age 26, doesn’t get injured/suspended.

Hope they keep ignoring him 👍🏻

Really thought we were a much better side than them.

Clear the step up in creativity when dross like Wright went off and Matondo and Lawrence came on. 

Think the squad needs competition at LB, and another striker assuming Roofe never gets fit again and Sakala is punted (he should be).

[bluenoz 31,087]

You won't see a better goal all season than the second one. Started with Borna way back at his own corner flag.

[The Beast 9,246]

I wonder if these new signings might be the redemption of Ross Wilson. 

Time will tell but each one of them we've seen so far look like excellent additions.

Wondering if Davie Moyes Sr was at the game tonight and who he was supporting.

Don't know man, he's a Rangers man. Was a scout for us for about 20 years.

[McEwan's Lager 30,808]

Second half was brilliant. Really enjoyable to watch.

I think we all know that whoever starts on the right, it shouldn't be Wright. The signings all look pretty decent, which is an amazing thing to be saying tbh.

[G.E.C. 19,001]

Fuck ye Kurt

[stuart1994 4,356]

Was pleased with that tonight. How quickly we got the ball forward in the second half was good to watch, looks like something we've worked on. Liked Souttar in the first half as well, a few good passes into midfield. Kamara looks raring to go after a bit of a hit and miss season last year. Barasic looking back to his best. Lawrence and Matondo looked the part as well. Hopefully can take that level into the start of the season and the qualifiers.
