I hear you but not sure about Pena yet until he kicks a ball. On the left is our issue again. Id perhaps give Dalcio more time but Dodoo would start there for me. Windass is another enigma - can be brilliant one minute but looks like he doesnt know what football is the next. Foderingham Tavernier Alves Cardoso Wallace Candieas Rossiter Dorrans Kranjcar Dodoo Morelos

4-5-1 or 3-5-2 is the way to go for me. With real midfielders and players in the proper position. As big a Miller fan I have been he is the one that needs to make way and let Morelos be upfront. Why Wasnt Herrera even on the bench yesterday?

You have a point mate. The debate will never go away after Europe and it was imperative we got a good start. 6 or 7 points was minimum from opening 3 games. As such I dont see a clear direction. Im looking at Cardiff and seeing how good Neil Warnock is doing. He has a winning mentality and just gets results - which is exactly what we need to be doing at the moment.

Ipswich new striker partnership of Waghorn and Garner blasting them up the league. I cant believe that. Look at Cardiff and Warnock - awesome stuff from the old geezer. What an impact he has on teams. Id take him at Ibrox straight away.

Arsenal suffer at Stoke again. Good results for WBA and Watford. Man Utd blow Swansea away.

4 points from 3 games isnt good enough. I think someone mentioned it earlier - there is a good team in their somewhere. But managers decisions especially with subs are baffling. We are putting pressure on ourselves now as we have to go up to Ross County and win. Cant believe Im saying that - growin up Ross County was a highland league team and not Im not so confident we will get 3 points there.

Matchday 3 today. Should be no excuses and he should be ready. We really dont need another bizarre case.

Angus defo rings a bell. I used to get my translator to read it to me every night

No but whats your point? Did ole gunnar solskjaer and Chicharito start most Man Utd games. You need super subs.

Didnt look clueless at Firhill and Pittodrie last season.

Bizarre to see Barca go so far down yet write them off at their pearl. Messi is still the best player on the planet and without a summer tournament this year he will probably be awesome this season.

Im guessing for you guys Hertz and hibs at home is like what Aberdeen away used to be for me. One of my last trips to Ibrox was Hearts at home - it was McLeish last game. I mixed drink and jetlag and pulled a stunning 50 year old blonde on the way back home on the train.

Semantics. Point being he isnt good to be around the place.

Well done Burton, good win. I would have a wager Redknapp walks this week from Brum if I could. He throws toys out the pram if he doesnt get his signings which are fantasy football style. He is the ideal England manager but obviously not good when it comes to nitty gritty.

Glad to see Forrester off the books, seems a bit of a play boy to me and will be obese by the time he is 35. Has a bit of skill but never applied himself well. Dodoo remains the most bizarre player in Rangers history. Appears on the pitch and does well then doesnt even get near the team. Something isnt right there.

Couldnt post earlier, but think the issue is sorted now. I think Real will walk the league this season, there seems like there is problems at Nou camp however I hope Im wrong. The one thing thats wrong with la liga is the share of money, Barca and Real could be in deep trouble if the other clubs started to get their fair share of TV money. Valencia and Atletico have done wonders over the years to compete.

Yes mate thats pretty much what I was suggesting. Playing a 4-5-1 / 4-3-3 with Kranjcar coming in then moving Windass into the free role position. Windass seems good when he has the ball at feet but the tactical side of things seems to elude him. Im a huge Miller fan over the years but perhaps its time to using him sparingly.

I have replied twice to this... Admin...???

Did Bears there last week see enough of Windass to start again rather than Kranjcar? two totally different players. Id actually think about dropping Miller and playing Kranjcar. I think Pedro might have had a spy with me, I said he could read the game more he could be a player...he is far to direct without thinking of options. That works sometimes. Something just needs a wee click. 3 at the back perhaps??

What happened here...i replied already.

A simple fact is its not the best quality league in the world and style is so mixed. I listen to Talksport a lot and the other night they were talking about Sinclair getting into the England set up. The presenters so arrogantly said no because he plays in Scotland. Even from a Rangers point of view thats nonsense. How has playing in England helped their players. 2010 in South Africa failure and shite, 2014 in Rio appalling, 2016 France a joke - Iceland. Wouldn't a player playing on confidence boost them? I know thats not defending but its the league in general. The British style in defending is far different to continental - thats been a huge factor for decades. Look at the classic italians. Yet Also Scotland have always produced quality centre halfs but the are a million miles away from how Baresi played. Premier League is the best entertainment but not the quality.

Bayern arent quite Barca yet who need mass changes. But their quality squad is getting on a bit. Robben and Ribery are winding down. Good to get a German league preview. A Spanish one would be good - Barca and Real have been 50/50 for a few years, all of a sudden Real looks miles ahead. Kroos, Modric, Bale, Ronaldo, Benzema etc blast away Suarez and Messi. Yet Messi is still the best individual but Ronaldo is getting better as a No.9. Barca need to make a statement and sign Mbappe and Dembele and resign Sanchez from Arsenal and throw in Coutinho they look a lot healthier.

Its like Buses. Nothing for a while and two come along at once. I guess both preview threads can be merged??

Frank Spencer was accidental in his mistakes!! There was a thread not so long ago about bad ex Gers players. Daly isnt even mentioned because he was that bad. This game couldnt come quick enough and we need to show up and let everyone see that we are playing like Chumbawamba. I get knocked down but I get up again. In the XI. Possibly Rossiter for Jack. Possibly Kranjcar for Windass.

You get the feeling they rescinded the card as a nice gesture yet the radio silence from all angles is deafening. We dropped points (2 or 3) when Jack was wrongly sent off - rescinding is the right decision but we can still field XI in the next game to win - i.e. the damage was done. I suspect Beaton will be up for Player of the month award. Refs are getting blatant now yet I actually said in the Motherwell thread that the ref had a good game and let it flow. If players can play in foreign countries why cant refs move about also.
