Match Thread [FT] St Johnstone 0 - 1 Rangers (Holt o.g. 63)
Gribz replied to compo's topic in Rangers Chat
Well deserved and really good to see. For me that talent has always been there, and there should be more to come. What is in the award anyway - a can of Talcum powder or something?! -
Is the tide in Manchester about to turn Red again?? A feel good factor with an energetic Manager. Thats the first time Ive looked at City and thought they have no answers and look rattled on the ropes. I dont think Pep is a manager who builds sides, this is a first for him. Is there stuff going on behind the scenes especially with the 115?! When you see their players laughing on the pitch (Haaland with Salah at 2-0) they cant be caring much - they did the same at Tottenham in the league cup when this bad run started. 2-0 flattered Man City. Spurs being Spursy again, win 4-0 one week and grab a draw with Fulham the next. Chelsea have also got to be taken seriously, what a job there coach has done - I expected them to be nearer Mid table but he has done amazing considering they were being laughed at for signing everyone. He has knitted a certain amount of the squad and are playing really well. A Shoe in for top 4 as it stands.

Liverpool v City hasnt let us down in the last few years, the fact City have to come out and win should make it good. As for Newcastle something isnt right. I think Isak wanted a move to Arsenal last summer. He isnt playing his best midfield either, Tonali, Joelinton and Guimaraes are the better 3 with Barnes, Gordon and Isak up front. Yet Selhurst Park is a tight little ground and tough to play flowing football.

Chelsea 2 up against Villa who have been poor. Champions League must be taking its toll.

Very very ugly game. Played a bit better after the goal. The positive was Hagi - very good performance for his first start in over 500 days. -

What was the thinking if Hagi was coming off? - Was it Yilmaz to LB and push Jefte forward then move Bajrami into the 10?? -

The shake up thats required is ridiculous. There is talent in there with Hagi, Jefte and Cerny but they cant do it themselves. -

Hagi does look good but bar a 5 minute spell we have been very poor. As mentioned grinders and leaders are extremely lacking. -

Got to be happy with that. No option to not bring Tav back in but the rest is what Id have gone for -

Yes - he was high up on my list also. As for today - Ive no idea what line up to expect never mind what type of performance we are going to see. The only positive is its St Johnstone who are awful. -
The original Enigma was Kris Boyd. However there is a big difference between Boyd and Dessers - Boyd knew how to put the ball in the back of the net. His criticism was he didnt do it against Celtic and was a waste of a shirt outside the box - Older posters will remember I was one of Boyd's critics - yet Id take him all day long right now over Dessers. Dessers issue isnt work rate, its that he misses chances in the range from half chances to easy chances to sitters - yet will still get goals but its 1 out of 9 or 10 chances (which actually says we are creating in the final third). But I dont see his game improving in the future and I can only see the sitters continuing.

Arsenal have scored 11 goals at that stadium this year. It was too easy again. Bournemouth and Brentford continue to impress, Ive been expecting them to collapse
-
West Brom with yet another draw, its easy money with them at the moment. Lampard nicks a lucky point in his first game and Rooney hammered again. Why do these owners persist with trying quality players but clearly awful managers.
-
He was right by a mile, it was good for an initial period but has got way out of hand now. I think at the turn of the millennium was when it started to become to commercial. Foreign owners dont care who sits in the 50000 seats per game so long as they are full which means tourists and non loyal long term supporters. This shows with the gap between clubs now. Just a few short years ago when there was empty stadiums everyone was saying how important fans are but thats been forgotten already.

I'll go for the Ruud appointment to make Leicester up their game and get something. Newcastle to respond at Palace, Villa to get back on track, Spurs to continue being Spursy and Liverpool to knock Man City out of the title race. Brighton 1-1 Southampton (Result 😁) Brentford 1-1 Leicester Crystal Palace 1-2 Newcastle Nottingham Forest 2-1 Ipswich Wolves 2-1 Bournemouth West Ham 1-1 Arsenal Chelsea 1-2 Aston Villa Man Utd 2-0 Everton Tottenham 2-2 Fulham Liverpool 3-1 Man City

Yup thats looking good, I thought they would have went for a slightly higher capacity though. 53000 is still a big ground but they could fill 60000 especially when you can give an away allocation of 5000.

Didnt realise there was a top of the table clash last night. Sheff Utd go top with a win against Sunderland who havent won in 7. Sheff Utd now 5 clear of 3rd and they started the season -2 points so they are obviously the team to beat now.
-
Can we get a SPL manager and keep Clement for Euro games. Good defending in the first 5 minutes to keep their storm out - you want to see that, good save by Butland then the centre halves throwing themselves at the ball. At first I was wondering if Diomande meant that goal but after watching over its a good finish. The best bit about Igamane's first was the way he took it around the keeper - a sublime little chip to lift it around the keeper. Then he megs the defender for the fourth. And Dessers miss at the end where it was easier to score must cement Igamane to start up front now.
-
Cheers - would have done it a bit later - Compo and Scott certainly have posts on this. The play offs are mad in this division. At the top I am hoping for Sunderland and Leeds to go up as they are big clubs. Burnley and Sheff U are a bit ugly and yo-yo teams. But Sunderland have become draw specialists in the last 5 games. And we will see if Coventry's decision to rid Robin for Lampard is good or bad
-
Lampard has got the gig at Coventry. The Championship should maybe have its own thread considering it throws up regular posts.

I was meaning Harsh for Compo's bet

Harsh. Difficult to pick games tonight. Tottenham v Roma will be the stand out on paper. Hearts go to play the other Brugge club.
