Match Thread [FT] Rangers 1 (Tavernier 60' pen) - 2 Motherwell
der Berliner replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
Our result was a timely wake-up call for the manager and the team. Hearts dragged us out this time, let's hope we do not need a repeat. -

.... thanks to his penalties. No half-truths, please. -

You were saying something different, which sounds a wee bit ridiculous. He's been bright every time he's on the park, just Tav doesn't want him to score from the spot. He was tremendous vs Hearts ... and still has to learn how to play against top not Scottish fridge-throwers and iron-men every week. -

We didn't play better or worse than throughout the season. Missed tons of chances, played far too complicated in front of goals and left ourselves open a few times at the back. Only today the opposition managed to score more often. Their first came from a freekick as laughable as the full refereeing performance. The second was opportunism pure. Motherwell, like most others in the league, just parks the bus, tackles hard and lives of scraps and pieces. By now, you would think that some manager and a few players wake up to that. As I said, not much different a performance than most others - bar a hatful of wasted passes from unexpected origins. Would have hooked Sterling after 60,at the latest after 75 mins, his countable contribution from the right was not really there. Silva should keep his place alongside whoever is considered centre-forward. We look more dangerous with two real strikers up top, despite them not clicking today. -

Yes, Toilet Team. -

Motherwell sit in, play a luvly 5-4 and only get two people up the field if they have the ball. Typical brick-wall stuff by a well-drilled team. Nothing to be proud of. We put out a, well, conservative line-up, and only got playing after 30odd minutes. Diomande, Ridvan, Desser and Silva look the most likely, not sure that Sterling works on the right flank too often. Lawrence -> Raskin at HT. -

Three points, two good goals, not much more to write home about. Let's hope Cortes' injury isn't that bad. -

I, for one, wouldn't have used Lawrence from the start, he's sort of a Rolls-Royce of a player, but on this pitch his talents are wasted (and in danger). This is made for Sterling and Wright, not so much fancy footwork. -

I have never seen Beale playing out there? We play the same style as before, under Clement, Beale, Gio, SG, MW ... That said, Clement wasn't here before, was he? Neither Cortes or Diomande. -

When at his peak. His last year was 1 goal in 5 chances, if not more. He will remain our European top goalscorer, but "let's keep the church in the village". Dessers gets really good assists and scores some fine goals now. Colak would have loved this environment too. Same as Roofe. Maybe we leave the "better than" debate on strikers, as it is all about opinions and preferences.

21-3 shots at goal, 10-1 on target. The rot in terms of chance-conversion continues, even though luck is with the Stags tonight. Typical Tavernier game. Two perfect crosses, one decent shot, but then fills spaces that should be used by attackers. Maybe he just stays near the HW-line and doesn't occupy spaces near the box where we seem to have too many players, and they hinder one another. We'll probably score four or five more, but sometimes you wonder ...

Regarding Lammers, we could go back a few months and people on here were saying that e.g. Dessers is "no footballer". Like many players before him. Dessers and Lammers obviously are footballers, for they make lots of money in that job, only that football is a team game and if things click, all is fine. It appears that the Utrecht side and Lammers click. Or the style of football they play, the style of the teams of this league play. It didn't click for him with us in a time of transition, squad- and management-wise. It's hard to say it ever will click with us - and our soothsayers are, on hindsight, usually way off the mark, but rarely admit to it later. As long as he's our player and does well, fine. Some guys need their confidence boost to get back on track, and it remains to be seen what Clement makes of this.

Match Thread [FT] Rangers 2 (Barisic 10; Silva 76) - 0 Ayr Utd
der Berliner replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
He did so a few games back and essentially did not do much worse than others (namely Goldson & Tavernier) today either. I'd rather have him in these kind of games than McCausland or Cantwell getting an injury. Decent enough squad player. Should have been more goals, would love to see Silva and Dessers alongside one another, the former likes to drop deep and his all action style (like Cantwell) may earn him a few cards (IMHO, he rode his luck with Collum today). Decent workout for Cortes, Diomande, Raskin, and Jack. -

Aside from sending Cortes away to supply Barisic? He's not much worse than others, maybe we should stop looking for faults where there are none or very few (not least compared to other players). 😎
