BlueVanguard 6,840 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Not panicking yet. I'll say I don't think Beales the right man for Rangers and hope I am proved wrong but some of his signings have done very little to get me excited. Butlands been very good and Danilo when he comes on looks up for it. We are in the Europa Group stages and will have European football it's a tournament we got to a final in last time we competed in it so let's be slightly confident about that. We have a huge game on Sunday and a win against that lot would give the support a huge boost in confidence for the season ahead Let's be honest here PSV are better than us on the field and they outplayed us in every section of that pitch and wish them all the best in the CL. It was us this time last year celebrating a win into the group stages. Mental how football works. qwerty, glasgow argyle and JCDBigBear 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't the same PSV as last year and it wasn't the same Rangers. PSV are week by week playing in a much stronger league and they finished 6 points above Ajax last year...sometimes you've just got to hold your hands up. Had we somehow got through, we were in for another chastening experience in the CL Group stages. Not the same glamour but better to be amongst those we know we can compete with.

If we don’t get our act together we will could be on the end of further hidings. Our manager has to make us difficult to beat at least.  Post Walter second time around we seem to have given up on the concept of putting a team out to keep things tight and scrape a narrow victory. Or had football changed and it's not possible to play like that anymore? I'm not sure. Either way PSV were very clearly better than us, we rode our luck in the first leg, we were very lucky last year to put them out, all that luck in our favour was bound to catch up with us eventually. We had to try and scrape a narrow 1-0, or else just keep it tight and maybe even play for pens. JCDBigBear and glasgow argyle 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVRanger 2,693 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 We weren't even close to getting through which reinforces the importance of winning the League. ÂŁ17 million differential between guaranteed CL money for Beast FC and us in the EL just makes the task this season harder again.

Ted E Bayer 485 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I thought Goldson is normally decent in the air. Fairly commanding. De Jong beat him to nearly every header last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he doesn't have a loss of confidence because of it. We need him to be good on Sunday. glasgow argyle, Ted E Bayer, crazy bob swollenbaws and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy bob swollenbaws 1,901 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023  Apologies. Duplicate post. Because we have the same three individuals in our back line, two of whom we also expect to tank up the wings and put in crosses. Top that with since Warburton, we seem to have stuck doggedly to a 433 shape with a few embellishments on occasion. Not for us a three at the back or a flooding the midfield.

How can they produce that level of team on such a small wage budget? You'd genuinely be lucky to get 1 or 2 of our player into their starting XI. Not sure about wage structure figures as our first team squad wages are far from what was quoted. Also no idea how much they can afford in transfer fees compared to what we can pay.
