My abiding memory of PSV away tie ( Colaks goal aside) was big Luuk De Jong up front for them.  
 

He was causing us serious issues up until he had to go off injured. 

He was good but I seem to remember Goldson matching him for the most part

I want to see Luuk De Jong crying on to Malik Tillman’s shoulders.

We definitely played better than we have in previous games, albeit for about 30 minutes.

Once we start to click up front we will be fine.

We have played some good football at times. Just nowhere near 90 minutes worth as you say. 

I just hope we can click quickly. Time is not on our side. We have the Euro games then we play the unwashed. All in the space of a couple of weeks.

Glaringly obvious, but we need to convert more of the chances we are making .

Ive watched a few games this season.. Chelsea, Liverpool, City - who struggled against Sevilla.. No team in the World will play well for 90 mins. No team will put all chances away. We arent converting enough, you are right, but Im confident that we will start putting them away.

Rangers review posted saying Advocaat fancies PSV to win. That’s fine, just use these as motivation.

I don't expect us to play well for 90 mins. Especially in Europe where every team is there on merit.

Just really frustrating that we seem to work hard yet fade away in matches.

We are starting to ramp up the number of minutes of good play though. A very positive sign.

I take I ro account that almost all of our forward players are new signings too.

I just worry if that will be enough against better opposition. 

If you play well for 30 mins that leaves a good side 60 mins to hurt you.

Just being realistic.

Actually.. the number of minutes of effective play is only around 55mins in the EPL for example ;) 

Dont worry - we will get there.
