We Deserve Better - Rangers v Aberdeen

[aweebluesoandso 290]

I looked at the formation and thought we were in for a long night. But that is what belief and passion can do. That lot out there tonight fought for everything like there was no tomorrow and you would hope they can carry this on from now on. I wouldn't mind changes to the formation on Sunday, but that's for another day.

 

Grand performances from McCrorie and Holt in midfield. Windass ran his socks off and was denied a goal by the flag. Alves and Wilson solid, John too. Any greater concerns about Pena's or Herrera's level of fitness should be gone now. Pena sure adds a dimension to our game (and goals), you wonder how he would work with Morelos instead of Miller. The Old Fox was his usual self, in and out of it, poor touches and bad, but again gave his all.

 

This is sure something we can work with!

 

NB: What did the linesman saw with the 3rd goal? A deflection of the Aberdeen defender? Methinks at least two of our chaps were offside?

 

NB II: Christie's got some gall debating his second yellow with the ref! And whatever happened to Shinnie when he left Rangers? Every time we play them it's like the red mist descending on him ... and he is aggression pure?

 

NB III: Good job by the ref (bar Alves' yellow, maybe):

 

NB IV: Thanks to Fortune for looking our way tonight!

 

Fortune favours the brave DB, we could have bottled it and played it safe, but we took the game by the scuff of the neck and attacked them, in their faces and closed them down, could say we took a lesson from what teams have done to us.

Murty was quite astute tonight mate he picked a team he liked the look of executing his plan.

 

Fortunately!

 

It worked.

 

EDIT: Fortunately! And by that I mean Aberdeen expected us to go with a 2 man sitting mid and we didnt. We should never be doing that at home anyway. But hey... there you have it.

Just seen Celtic’s penalty. The “Invincibles” don’t half need some dodgy help from the refs.

 

In other ways, I can’t feel sorry for Motherwell as they enabled this situation where the whole of Scottish Football is skewed towards one club.

Feck me sideways, a referee getting decisions correct where Rangers are concerned.

 

He will be refereeing in the lower leagues next week.

Heading home after a great performance from Rangers, the whole team played well but special mention to young McCrorie who was outstanding, what a prospect he is.

Well done Murty best manager at Ibrox tonight!?

I'm for my bed lads night.

[Gonzo79 15,292]

McCrorie, Holt and Pena all get a huge thumbs up from me.

That was great. I was sure our attack would be useless when I saw the team.

 

We managed to get Tavernier and Windass playing very well. Decent performances from Miller and Peña also.

 

I think Windass must be suited to playing more centrally. Perhaps this formation is the way forward.

 

Mustn't forget to acknowledge Ryan Christie and Gary Mackay-Steven. Surely a special night for both of them.

[Gonzo79 15,292]

And Ryan Jack too.

Alves was fantastic as well.
