Rangers Attack vs Defence

[Sutton_blows_goats 5,334]

Past few years we have been so behind on GD that its almost been like an extra point for other mob fc. This needs to change.

I've always liked a setup based on a solid defence, defending is a simple job you work hard in hand with you teammates you cover for each other and you make your tackles count none of this shadowing your opponent when I watch our lads it reminds me of schoolboys you always stuck the diddys in defence to run about and our back line are our diddys

Also we only let in 3 more goals than Celtic last season but scored 21 goals less than them, so the defence was not our main problem.

One team does it constantly! 

That's not offense.

 

That's exchanging the ball, just long enough for the other team to get in their defensive posture.

 

Then abruptly returning the favor.

 

This succession happens until one side commits a defensive 'error' so profound that one is compelled to score. 

 

After years of watching I think I finally have this racket worked out.

You missed my (perhaps poor attempt at a) joke, mate. It was a play on the word offence, and there's one club who are constantly taking offence.

I always think a team needs a solid spine* and we really haven't had one for a while.

 

A commanding centre half, a good midfielder who can also put the graft/boot in and a 20+ goals a season striker.

Yeah bro, no sweat...If it's not REALLY dumbed down, I am not gettin it. 

 

My idea of great comedy is The Three Stooges.

7 clean sheets in 11 in the league, now I'm not a mathematician but would that track for about 24/25 over 38?

 

Fucking telling yer lads, we've got a chance..

Had it not been for the Aberdeen fiasco, we'd have conceded 3 goals in 11 games.

May I?
If we also hadn’t screwed up by letting Killie, Celtic and Hearts each score a goal against us, we’d have conceded 0 in 11 games and be top of the league!
