teneriferanger 26 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 McGregor Broadfoot Webster Bougherra Papac Aaron Davis Mendes Beasley Novo Velicka Aaron and Beasley can switch as both have played on the right/left, also Novo can drift out wide and Aaron can push up top alongside Velicka. Fcuk Falkirk and matching up to them, let's give them something to think about. Get Khenny Miller and Barry Ferguson away to fcuk. Give David Weir and John Fleck(keep him fresh and on his toes for Dundee United) a rest and give Andrius Velicka the opportunity to prove himself. Just ashame Maurice Edu is out injured. No excuses, a good performance and a convincing win! I forgot about Steven Naismith - swap him with either Aaron or Beasley. ferguson was our best player so yes i did watch a different game from you. how can fleck a 17year old not be fresh?

Muff 245 Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 I'd keep Fleck for the Dundee United game. He had a good 1st half but he was poor in the 2nd, mainly because he never saw the ball and couldn't really get into the game. We'll have to agree to disagree over Barry Ferguson.

KPLdarrenKPL 0 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I forgot Naismith, swap him with either Aaron or Beasley. Barry Ferguson was good today - guess I watched a different game then. Bar 15 minutes, he was awful. Barry Ferguson was only good for 15 Minuets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you prefer velicka over boyd? and ferguson was good today, he was one of our only good players just leave him. he does not want boyd or ferguson near rangers. muff's teams r his own selection, and he is entitled to them. to me i wonder when i see his selections, cause i know, as most folk do that the chances of seeing these guys out on the park is slimmer than an anorexic chick on speed. i sometimes wonder if muff, who is also a tennis coach and caddy, does not also moonlight as a sports agent for arron and velicka!! His Velicka choice baffles me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 How does it baffle people - I kept on getting told by many people on here that he's got an excellent scoring record, I kept on getting told he always played well against the Old Firm, many on here were quite glad and happy we signed him. I wasn't. Now when Lafferty is injured, Naismith is just back from injury and Miller is failing to perform as usual, I pick a striker, who's had his rest, lost a lot of weight, got fit and scoring in the reserves. A player who Wally was on the verge of bringing on the other week - tell me what's baffling about that? And it's not as if I have picked him all season, I have suggested him for the last four matches. Now if Kris Boyd, Charlie Adam, Jean Claude Darcheville, Lee McCulloch, Steven Whittaker....are all allowed a chance, then why not Andrius Velicka - is it because I have him in the team before the beloved, Kris Boyd? Fuck me, it's really not that hard to understand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbo 588 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I'd go with ------------------McGregor---------------- --Broadfoot--Bougherra--Weir--Papac-- ----Davis--Ferguson--Mendes--Naismith-- ----------------Boyd--Miller---------------- Subs: Alexander, Whittaker, Fleck, Novo, Velicka. Miller and Davis have faded in recent weeks after excellent starts to the season but I'd start them both for this one with Miller on a last warning as he owes us a big performance. Think we'll win this one 2-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wreckedroy 33 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 McGregorBroadfoot Bougherra Weir PapacDavis Mendes Ferguson FleckBoyd Miller Boyd for McCulloch is the only change for me. I don't see any point in dropping Miller for this game if it's a lack of confidence that's affecting his form, as he's more likely to nick a goal or 2 against Falkirk than some other teams. If anyone seriously thinks Smith is even considering dropping Ferguson for this game you are living in your own personal dreamland. He played his best game of the season so far against the sheep and hopefully the improvement will continue in this game. I also think Fleck will continue on the left, at least for this game. If he doesn't have a great game I can see him being dropped to the bench for the next couple tho. 3-1 win for Rangers, with Miller, Boyd and Ferguson to score.

Only Broadfoot, Fleck and occasionally Mendes and Bougherra showed any urgency outside that 15min spell, so should everyone else be dropped? In a purely footballing sense, Ferguson has to be one of the 1st names on the teamsheet unless his form gets drastically worse. Walter Smith and his coaching team clearly don't share the same pathological hatred for the Rangers Captain that you and a few others on here do, therefore he'll continue to be a very important part of the team.

And that's what's wrong with Rangers - Barry Ferguson has been poor since coming back into the team. Most of the time he is nowhere to been seen, contributes fcuk all and gets in the way. If anyone else had continually played as poorly as him, they'd be getting dogs abuse. Lee McCulloch played better than him on Saturday, yet he still got slated whilst Ferguson walked away scot free.
