Rangers v Motherwell- April's Full day


Recommended Posts

It looked like a simple 4-4-2 with MOH and Halliday replacing both Full-backs, and then Garner came on for Hill, meaning Toral went into defense:

 

Garner - Waghorn

 

McKay - Holt - Hyndman - Miller

 

Halliday - Kiernan - Toral - MOH

 

Fod

 

But when we attacked, Halliday stayed back and MOH went forward to create:

 

Garner - Waghorn

 

McKay - Hyndman - Miller - MOH

 

Holt

 

Halliday - Toral - Kiernan

 

Fod

 

so, 3-1-4-2. I think the idea was to get Toral more space to play forward passes, which worked, and to give Waghorn a better partner in Garner. MOH and McKay were the wide-men; MOH couldn't quite attack the Full-back as well as McKay as he kept coming inside.

 

It was gung-ho -- never has a formation or performance been defined as well.

 

We were poor first-half; bullied in everything. We weren't second-half; We risked it defensively for more players in forward areas. It might have worked on another day.

That was brutal today. First half one to forget entirely, the ref a joke, and the second half a cup tie par excellence. As much as one might blame Foderingham for the first goal, we have to thank him for not ending up with three in our net.

 

Radical changes at HT seemingly worked, but that was hellish defending at times. Do that against Hearts of Aberdeen and ...

 

Luckily enough, Hamilton too all three points of St. Johnstone, see we keep some breathing space in fourth place. You would assume that the Scum will also take all three off Hearts. Best to look forward to next Wednesday than contemplating on the fare today. Alas, Pedro saw what needs to be done, what the standard of refereeing is, and how teams play us at Ibrox.

I think it was a perfect storm of changes. Wallace went off sick, so Halliday was the only replacement. Hodson was poor, giving nothing offensively, so the only option was a "winger" in MOH. And then Garner for Hill is a twist, to get Toral more space and Waghorn a partner.

 

Crazy.

Yeah, try it against anyone else and we could've been on the end of a hiding.

 

Motherwell were dirty; wasting time at every opportunity and putting in reckless and dangerous tackles every two minutes.
