*****The official PSV v Rangers Champions league play-off match thread*****

[BlueThunder 8,454]

Well, that was a half of two halves.

[Iggy666 2,904]

Not a bad half to be honest. Arse was doing buttons that last 5 mins though

[superallysbears 7,849]

Turning back from Kent and Tillman, fucking go forward with it.

[Monkey Butler 23,053]

Typing with cold clammy hands.

I’ve felt thoroughly sick throughout it

[JimmyCR1 1,535]

As positive as ever in here I see, we’ve played well, been 50/50, could still go either way

[the old guard 2,358]

Goldson getting a torrid time, needs to get a grip, if only we could fkn shoot.

[FlippinEck 3,737]

It's an openly even game. Im not sure who I would take off or bring on and would be tempted to go with the same again. They, as have been mentioned, are clearly quite nervous and sat off us for a while. They are however still a very capable team and should probably be winning through De Jong. Will take it though. Hopefully we can continue to create chances and convert... 

[LegendofCoop 17,486]

Summary....good 45 minutes of football....either team could have scored. We're definitely the happier to be level. 

We've not been shamed. The fact they haven't scored despite throwing everything at us makes me think it could be our night! Just need a wee bit more composure in the box. They are nothing special at the back!! 

[Rangers#1 5,480]

Kamara putting in a decent shift.

[.Williamson. 83,816]

Easily Colaks best game for us so far

[Moody Blue 9,531]

In CL games you have go ride your luck at times and we’ve certainly did that, just have to take our chances when presented with them and you just never know.

What was that shot Lawrence?

Ref got in his way, that's twice he's  done it to one of our players on the edge of the box, the twat. 

That performance so far as much, much more like it. Still in with a shout here.

[Misteral 2,932]

Nervy when they go forward but we've played quite well despite a few mistakes. It's going to be 1-0, hopefully to us. 

[The Beast 9,264]

We're right in this tie. I'd feared the worst after the last couple of games but we are playing better overall than most games this season. These are two very evenly balanced teams imho. 

[esquire8 43,654]

If Kent ain't getting jabbed before the game then its fucking embarrassing performance.

[The No.9 760]

Kent and Sands seem determined to get an assist for PSV lol other than that I think we’ve done fairly well and making a game of it

They’ve definitely had the better chances and overall likely the better side but we’re absolutely in the game so far 

[MarzM 1,261]

A bit passive in that half. Gio really doesn't like a high press.

Sands had a couple of fuck ups. So did Goldson. Need to be better going forward.

We're still in this...C'mon Rangers!!

[plymouthranger 3,939]

I’d like to see us go 3-5-2 with Colak and Sakala up front, if it’s still 0-0 after 65-70 minutes. You can see the pressure gets to them and they aren’t great at the back. 
 

Get Lundstram back between Goldson and Sands to cover de Jong better, allows us to get Davis in the middle along side Kamara as well.

Better decision making and we can win this. If Barisic or or someone doesn’t close down Teze at some point they will score. Less said about Goldson the better 

We give opposition wide players far too much room to get easy crosses in

[Number5 2,149]

Really good half. Did everything right for 30mins. 

They'll obviously have their periods of dominance.

Kent shite in and around the box.

Sands could be 9/10 every week and still be the man that loses you the game. I pretty much shit my pants everytime he's on the ball. 

Stand firm Rangers.

Biggest 45mins in a long time.

[bazza010 393]

1 goal either way wins this,and they are looking the more likely, lucky they aint scored ....last 5,10 mins of that half was a nightmare.

[sassaaaa 11,406]

Thought we done well there and were the better team for 30 odd minutes , then the Goldson / Sands car crash started.

Tactically we got it wrong at home for me , we should never give the respect we do to anybody at home.

That team looked good last week because of how bad we were , they are as dodgy as us at the back as well. I would put Wright and Sakala on around 65 if its still 0-0.

[Broxi 11,685]

Good first half overall, shaky last 5 minutes

Sands was excellent despite a couple horror passes. Kamara, Tav and Colak good too.

Lundstram not been up to much, attacking 3 need to do more despite a few nice pieces of play/touches.

If it's level going into last 20 then Arfield could be worth a shout.
