Match Thread [FT] Rangers 1 (Dessers 24') - 0 Motherwell

[der Berliner 3,744]

Those unique Scottish refs, going from Aussie Rules style refereeing to that of an Iberian Don. Amazing.

 

Cifuentes needs to be replaced.

Do something positive Beale bring on young Bailey Rice 

[Bill 13,717]

Lundstram is so much more effective when he goes beyond the centre line.

Some of the best things today have come from Scott Wright

I'm not having a go at Wright - I've always liked Wright. 

 

I'm having (another) go at the manager.

[der Berliner 3,744]

So, nominally, we have 5 defenders on, 2 DMs and 1 CM ... and try to grab another goal. Or rather do the obvious and defend a 1-goal lead at home.

 

I'm bound to call that pathetic.

[Rousseau 10,607]

Beale is exasperated on the sidelines...

To be honest I wouldn't say Tav or Barasic are defenders as such, they play with far more of a forward mentality. But I hear what you are saying, this is hard to watch.

 

And we nearly gave away a goal there. Beale is playing with fire, if we lose a goal here I think he's done.

I think Cifu is more of a CM than a DM, but... yeah:

 

Pathetic.

... yes, true enough. But on the face of what we see, Borna only reaches his standards today. Given the defenders we have, we might just as well sent real wingers out there and kept the strikers.

Indeed, Lundstrum & Jack are the DMs, Cifuentes the CM.
