Corner comes in from Tavernier, Katic's header is palmed away by the 'keeper, before Arfield scoops it in at the far post.

Arfield taps it in from the corner!!!

It's been a decent, lively start from us, with a varied attacking approach.

Fair enough. Would like to have seen Jones today tbh. Would have loads to prove against Lillie and is used to their dodgy pitch
He should play a part, for that reason, IMO.
However, I actually think he'll be better later on in the game, when they're knackered.

We also have doubled up with Tav/Candieas and LB/ Kent. Is Arfield going wide? Confused
Candeias and Kent weren't playing wide, though. We've not had 'wingers' in quite some time.
Arfield will be playing in the half-space.

Good attacking bench.

Is it me or is that team quite narrow? Are we expecting the full backs to provide all the width?
Maybe through the middle is the answer? Let's try some shots today please! C'mon Rangers!! Points first, performance second.
Have you watched us at all over the last 6 months? Yes, Arfield and Ojo will play inside, so the width must come from the FBs.

I've got a feeling Liverpool will drop off.

Ross County are second.
Just saying.

The Bears I got the train home with were all disappointed with the performance, Rousseau.
They can be disappointed -- I was disappointed too, although mostly with the result -- but it's a stretch to say that the second tie was "similarly concerning" as that first tie.

The home tie was similarly concerning.
Really?
Tavernier missed a penalty, and we had two goals chopped off for offside, wrongly.
We should have battered them. Very little concerned me about the home tie.

I'd like to see us make the foul when they break.
A couple of times we've had an opportunity to bring the guy down, but let him go. Not yellow worthy tackles, but a little nudge, or niggle.

Lol I just meant the background gif. Is that from The Beach?
Haven't got a clue. I've used it before.

What a find that gif was
Yes -- just randomly found; with our three gersnet usernames on it...
It took me at least 5 minutes to make.

Sky Sport News: Alfredo Morelos has turned down a £30M move to Chinese Super League Club Heibei Fortune.
The £30M relates to how much the player would earn, on a three year deal. Sky Sports suggest the Chinese Club were willing to match Rangers' valuation, believed to be in excess of £15M.
Sky Sports also stated that Morelos has until 5pm tonight (when the Chinese transfer window closes) to make the transfer happen.

Just heard on the radio McBurnie has sold for 20 million!
I thought £4M was unrealistic when you mentioned it the first time.
I'm surprised at £20M, though!

The part about the deep 8s was really well developed.
A few have questioned why we need 'three sitting midfielders', and this answers it: they're not 'sitting midfielders'; they allow for us to control the centre, break the press, play through teams, and control possession.

With the centre backs I have to admit that I simply don't know. I've put Goldson and Helander due to reputation as much as anything. Edmundson has looked the best out of the lot (by a distance on the ball) but that wasn't against strong opposition.
The centre mid is very much a case of horses for courses, @Gaffer had a good post on this earlier in the thread. I've put Jack back in because I think Kamara's natural position is actually the deeper role which Davis is doing whereas Jack is better at bursting forward and supporting the attack, which is what we need more often than not. Docherty is brilliant at this too and should contribute very well this season when he steps in.
Ojo gets the nod alongside Arfield because despite not impressing much in his all round game he has two goals. Your job is to create and score in that position and so far Ojo has shown he can at least score.
Defoe is our best all round striker, his link up play is outstanding.
McGregor
Tavernier - Goldson - Helander - Barisic
Jack - Davis - Aribo
Ojo - Arfield
Defoe
I think that's spot-on.
I'd like to see Stewart, though.

I'd say from the preseason games, Candeias has been the best 'wide man' - if you want to call them that, which is not quite correct.
Stewart looks classy. I think he'll be a good signing.
Jones and Ojo have shown flashes of what they can do, but not consistently. I think both will be useful this season.
Hastie looks like he'll be loaned; he looks short of what's required.
Arfield is still first choice for those positions, imo.

Full-time, 1-0.
Well--from what I saw of the second half, I thought we were much the better team.
Kamara was good, Docherty was everywhere, Katic got stuck in, and Morelos was hungry.
I thought Polster was good in that DM role - we've not seen him there before.
How did Helander do? I missed the first half.

Morelos has twice put it on a plate for Ojo, but he wastes the opportunity by trying to do too much.

Broadfoot is a dirty b*st*rd.
Throwing Morelos to the ground. Easy yellow, IMO.
According to Walker, he has to take it because of his reputation. What!?
