A better option at CB than King or Yfeko, but still pish.

Whole team was again today.

Bit worrying, but can’t really judge until the competitive stuff starts. 

Butland was good

[Super Ally Scores Again! 502]

As he’s in the last year of his contract - Surely he either signs a new one or he gets sold this window

Has Kent/Morelos feel about it.. He will have options down south if he/we want/s to move on

[Smile 26,622]

Wish him well at his next club when that happens.

Not a chance. Counting down the days til we get shot of him. Whether that’s in this window or the end of the season. Guy must be taking a decent amount every week and we get very little in return. Fraud 

[1690KWilliam 170]

What summed him up for me was that incident at McDiarmid Park when he played a short pass to someone(can’t remember who) and when it didn’t come off he gave up the ghost, threw his hands up in the air and let their player run past him.  They ended up scoring from it.  Disgraceful attitude.  

[DrLaudrup 4,839]

Too many chances. Comes up short constantly. He’s played more pre season than I expected but it’s clear Cifuentes is for that position with Jack as back up. I’d expect him to leave as soon as possible. 

[PromDeAnglais 5,707]

Unfortunately, like Davies. He's not been told to find a new club, there isn't any reported interest in him and both seemingly don't want to leave. 

He's likely to be here for another season. 

Edit: Can probably add Matondo to that list as well.

That should have been the end of him for that alone. 
He’s an extremely limited footballer and offers next to nothing except his usual yellow card for hauling someone back. 

I fear he’ll be in the starting line up comes Sat

Very good tonight a thought

He was. Probably the only 2 on here who thought so though. Start of 2nd half he was the one midfielder pushing forward and setting the tempo. I know he gave the ball away a couple of times but for me he was our best midfielder tonight.

[OrangeRab 3,037]

He had two excellent bits of play that led to dangerous attacks.

The first time flick round the corner in the first half. Took out their whole midfield.

And the one that he took on the turn in the second half.

That is the key to playing fast attacking football. Not touches back towards your own goal and sideways passes to your full backs.

The whole team looked much better when the midfield took the ball and turned. The game opens up.

[RossS1873 1,759]

His best game for us for a long long time. Did have a few slack passes but was at times willing to drive us forward, was always an option for a pass and was everywhere. 

[ForeverAndEver 72,160]

Thought he was great outwith a couple of ridiculous touches 

[ayro 3,153]

Two bad passes in our half that could have been costly but the rest of the game was like the Lundstram of our run to the EL final.

Such a tightrope his performance tonight.

On the balance he's had a good one, but he had two or three moments where we could be really punished. If they score off one of them then he's had a nightmare of a game.

I thought one of them Davies gave him a terrible ball.

[ElBufalo20 7,978]

Oh baby……  too early??

[The Specky Forum Organiser 66,317]

Heard a few months ago he had some really tough things going on off the park and he played through it, has been good for us the last month or so.

[Swagger 8,353]

Very good tonight 

[AberfeldyBlue 1,663]

Big John played well tonight

[FlippinEck 3,737]

Got better and better as the game went on. Took responsibility today in the middle of the park. That's the John Lundstram we all fell in love with! 

[Blues Brother 1,124]

Was excellent tonight. He is much better in a midfield 2, without the confusion of having to slot into a back 3 . Midfielder’s should be playing in midfield and long may it continue

The passes played to him for some of those touches were fucking dreadful to be fair to him 

Davies was for the most part excellent tonight but I’ve no idea why he drilled a five yard pass at Lundstram who was running at pace towards him.

In possession didn’t think he was great but out of possession that’s his best game in a Rangers jersey in a while. 

When he plays with physicality and a bit of swagger he’s the player we know he can be. When he slows it down and thinks too much he’s murder. 

Needs to keep going, we weren’t getting anything from Raskin and with him being injured it gives Lunny a run of games in there to hopefully find form.
