*****The Official Rangers v SL Benfica Thread*****


Recommended Posts

Good first half Rangers.  Cagey and open as fuck.  Benfica playing as we would away from home, aiming to hit on the counter.  

Some really good passages to play, but we need to be a bit more joined up with the passing and pressing.  

Game is there for the taking.

When you look at the gulf in finances between us, we really have no right to punch as hard in Europe as we have in recent years, think I read that Benfica have brought in over a billion euros in transfer fees in recent times.

Enjoying this tremendously.  

I think we have done very well so far, considering how many players we don't have available.

Nervy match but it’s absolutely still there for the taking.

I just wish we had Morelos in his prime up top tonight, it’s made for him…..instead we have to hope Dessers has another moment of bucking the trend.

Scott Wright has limited ability and one of our weaker players but judged with that in mind he has done fine. 

He has been far from the worst player on the park. He has made mistakes yes but has probably looked our most dangerous player and creator.

Very solid first half by our defense, especially Tav and Souttar. Bar one fuck up by Lundstram not much trouble for our defence and Super Jack so thats a good sign. Impressed by Wright, to be honest. On a tough wet pitch we should be shooting on sight but for some reason we wont.. Hopefully Cantwell brings some more accuracy in midfield and we are gonna be fine. Benfica players run like they are on a potato field so they will struggle in 2nd half.

The effort from nearly all the lads is brilliant. Come on!!!!

Certainly putting the effort in. Roofe for Dessers - something will come off in and around the box and we don’t want the chance falling to Dessers
