Oh and as an example of when Balogun was in defence , we lost 2 at home to Benfica , another 2 at home to liege, another 2 at home to Malmo , another 2 at home to slavia and lastly another 2 at home to lyon .

You appear to be emphasising Balogun's shortcomings.

 

That is not how this works.

 

Let me explain. Balogun does not play for us. This single fact means that we should diminish each one of his mistakes. We keep doing this until we all believe that he belongs in the Rangers hall of fame.

Put your comics away and read the match report from the weekend.

To quote my high school football coach.

 

"Reggie White injured, doesn't do sh*t for this team".

 

Meaning...the best American football defensive player in the world....injured...is useless.

 

This team has a lovely habit of signing high performing medical cases.

 

This defense is going to be the source of endless headaches.

Just in from the game.  Think that was probably a fair result overall.

 

We played some nice stuff in spells and Colak's goal was a good one.  PSV played well in spells and missed a sitter but got a bit lucky too.

 

I can't see us winning over there bit you never know.

 

Thought the crowd was a bit disappointing tonight.  Loads of folk near me (GF2) not joining in with any songs or even clapping.  

 

I expect it'll be Thursday nights again. 

I wouldn't bet on a win next week.

 

It will be tough.

 

It is far from impossible.

I'd go for a pacey line up and try to hit them on the break.  The problem is, I don't expect our defence to be solid for 90 minutes, especially if we sit back.

Tillman should have been hooked earlier as it looked like he was running/reacting in slow motion.

Yes, should have been replaced early in the second half.

 

Even in the first half I thought he looked too slow to do anything when he got the ball.

Davis would've been my first choice to get substituted tonight.  Looked well off the pace.

Surprised to see so much debate about the selection at the back.

 

I thought our tactics, when defending corners, would be of much more concern.

[Gonzo79 15,294]

Their first looked like a lucky break of the ball.

 

Their second looked like a free header.

 

Who was at fault for the free header?

Any thoughts on the tactics at corners?
