match thread (image) [FT] Hamilton 3 - 5 Rangers (Murphy 10; Windass 19, 34, 72; Morelos 27)

[BEARGER 1,829]

Another piss poor start 1-0.

[Rousseau 9,884]

They're playing a 3-5-2, so we'll be overrun in the middle unless we can narrow our middle three. 

[BEARGER 1,829]

1-1 MURPHY, great work by Morelos.

[Rousseau 9,884]

Well done Morelos and Murphy. 1-1.

 

plays the easy pass, and we guarantee a goal -- too often a player in Morelos' position would go himself and squander the opening. Well played.

[Rousseau 9,884]

Morelos is being clever, drifting out to the space against that narrow back three. We need players to take up is space in the middle, though, like Murphy did.

[Rousseau 9,884]

It looks like both Windass and Morelos are drifting wide to find space and create overloads out wide; Morelos to the right, Windass to the left.

 

The problem is who gets into the middle? As they alternate going out wide, it should be the other.

[Rousseau 9,884]

Oooft! Windass! 1-2.

 

Wee bit lucky, but it was a good strike.

[BEARGER 1,829]

1-2 WINDASS howler from goalie.

The Acas 'keeper....

[Rousseau 9,884]

We've settled now. We're switching it from side to side to get in-behind, cutting out that troublesome, congested central area. Good play.
