*****The Official Rangers v Aberdeen Match Thread*****


G.E.C.

On the game itself, was a slog against a team who made the pitch really narrow, relied on being able to slow the game down due to the pitch and who pounced on the inevitable short, bobbly or bad bounce balls played in the middle of the park.  And because we were trying to play the full backs high they played in the spaces behind that after a turnover.  I didn't think it was a coincidence that in the first 15 mins, before the pitch cut up so badly, we moved it quickly and looked like we were going to maul them.  As soon as the bounces became so bad we had to take extra touches and it played into their hands and they turned it into what it became.  It allowed them to push up high on Morelos and we didn't have anyone making that run in behind. 

We are definitely really vulnerable when we play our full backs so high - but only when we give away cheap possession, which became kind of inevitable yesterday.  

There was some unbelievably bad decision making in the 2nd half of extra time that invited pressure.  Wright, for all the good he did when he came on, nearly undid it all a few times towards the end.  However, that's as positive an impact he's made on a game for a long time.  He was clearly given instruction to come on and run in behind, something nobody else was doing.
