stuart1994 4,305 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Hard game, can't take much from them getting pumped off Barca. Can imagine like most Spanish sides they'll be very good on the ball. Not got any confidence in us and would take a draw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1872 20,815 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I’d make three changes from yesterday. I’d got with: Butland Tav Goldson Davies Barisic Lundstram Raskin Lawrence Sima Roofe Matondo Reckon we’ll get a draw. 1-1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d got with: Butland Tav Goldson Davies Barisic Lundstram Raskin Lawrence Sima Roofe Matondo Reckon we’ll get a draw. 1-1 I’d go with that but you’re relying on Sima and Matondo to both be on form. Both inconsistent as fuck but on form would trouble most teams with their pace Maybe Souttar for Davies but think the manager needs to chose what his best back 4 is and stick with it, chopping and changing every game’s a pile of shite imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both inconsistent as fuck but on form would trouble most teams with their pace Only issue is if they don’t play then you’re either needing to play Lammers, Dessers or even Jack and moving Lawrence out wide. Just feels like we don’t have great options especially with Cantwell and Danilo out. This mob seems to press quite high so see it similar to PSV at Ibrox.

stuart1994 4,305 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Jesus just checked, I knew we had a bad record against Spanish sides but we've not beat a Spanish team since 1985 plymouthranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed mate I think Beale might start with Lundstram Raskin and Jack in midfield with Roofe Dessers Lawrence up front. Then bring Sima and Matondo on with half an hour to go with us 2-0 down chasing the game Think I would take the gamble and go with your starting line up and have a proper go at them from the off Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The true baller 972 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Fs, i’d rather they weren’t just on the back of an absolute pumping. Now they’ll be right up for it and wanting to take a scalp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 74,208 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 If Barcelona are beating them 5-0 then we should be looking at a 6 or 7- 0 win. Blueshoff 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascadeshrimp 1,461 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Watched a wee bit of their game last night Despite the score they look decent middle to front but the defense is worse than ours an their keeper is an accident waiting to happen.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,815 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Dessers will play. But personally I'd prefer to go with Sima upfront, Lawrence as the number 10, and Matondo on the left of a 4 man midfield. Pace on the counter.

CR3 12,710 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Seen they have Isco who was at Madrid for a while and Ayoze Perez, good when at Leicester anyway as attacking players of note. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iakona 2,261 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Whilst what he said is a wild take. He is correct that defensively they can be got at. They will set up exactly how PSV did against us, so there will be space in behind and opportunities on the transition. Pace and set pieces against them is vital… Sadly their aggressive press and the tempo they play at will likely be too much for our midfield once again, in turn our defence will need to try and sustain the pressure. If they turn up and we don’t up our game… we won’t get out of our own half. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, saying their defence is worse than our is a wild take. Coming to that conclusion all because you watched “a wee bit of their game.”… against the reigning La Liga champions is wild. We will struggle to get out of our own half if they turn up and we don’t raise our performance levels. They will dominate possession and they aren’t going to let us pass it around our defence like SPL teams do. We have already seen what PSV did to us… who play the same exact way as Betis.(PSV literally played with 1 CB against us so they weren’t a defensively sound unit either) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom1780 1,219 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Betis won’t sit in so should give us space we need to be switched on at the back prefer matondo as impact sub 2-1 Rangers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
