match thread (image) [FT] Willem II 0 - 4 Rangers (Tavernier 22 pen; Kent 25; Helander 55; Goldson 71)

[CammyF 8,122]

Brilliant result / performance. To win 4-0 away from home in Europe is a great achievement, they were no mugs and a very good side.

The reason Rangers play so well in Europe is the unbias referees, in Scotland we are up against cheating bias refs.

Great win tonight, great 2nd half, very strong and you could see the confidence growing.

My MOTM was Kent. 

[Whosthedado 1,685]

Absolutely gobsmacked how easy that was. I was genuinely worried about tonight. Top class. Kent was excellent and Hagi had a really good second half. Two brilliant stops from Greegs too.

 

Bring on the Turks

That was so similar to Midtjylland. Such a good side on the ball, but so weak and naiive defensively it was unbelievable. We outmuscled them all over the pitch. Everyone played so much better in the second half too which was good to see after some dodgy performances in the first half. A very welcome confidence boost for the team as a whole.

Apart from his undoubted ball skills he really is quite physical and battles all the time. Still think we need to play him central

[Frankie 8,570]

That really was a top-class second half display.  We managed the game perfectly, were strong defensively and took our chances at the right time from set-pieces as well.

 

Lots of good individual performances: Kent was again majestic but I thought Davis was superb, as was Kamara and a word for Goldson who, despite a bad mistake the other day, was imperious tonight.  Helander also showed his experience at the back time after time and is really under-rated by our fans.

 

Now for a new signing before Sunday if Jack or Aribo don't make it.

Worth noting by the way that they haven’t lost at home in over a year, and haven’t lost by a 4 goal margin since the season before last. They aren’t used to being being hammered, and certainly not on their own patch.

Very much so. Some would still replace him with Balogun/Katic. He’s one of my favourite Rangers players.

He's a top class professional.  Never hides and is very, very good in the air (when not pushed by opposition strikers).

He just loves to block the ball with his face ?. We are actually spoiled in the CB area, I would be happy whoever is picked to play there.
