Posted by yuddie,

The lads are back in tomorrow, a silver lining of us having 0 sellable assets and decent performers last season is the complete and utter lack of internationals we have which means the whole squad will be in pretty much. Bar signings.   Here's the key dates for Pre Season:   Rangers Men’s First-Team Key Dates 24 June – Return to training 7 July – Travel to Netherlands 13 July – Ajax (N) 20 July – Manchester United (N –

Having watched the end of last seaon and this pre-season Clement has narrowed our back 4. Since doing so, it blunted our attack and made us vulnerable defensively. 

 

I thought it was down to injuries but he appears to be persisting with it this pre-season. 

That's fair. I don't disagree with you. We were very poor defensively towards the end of last season. 

 

I just had an issue with you calling it an 'Inverted FB.'

I would like to see us deploy those high WBs as I think it would play to Tavernier and Jefte's strengths.

 

It needs a back-three, though - and using a back-four allows for one more attacker (Lawrence, in today's case).

 

Would we like to see Lawrence removed for a CB? Probably not. 

 

 

For all his faults, that's where you miss Lundstram. He 'sat' and allowed our full backs to push wider and further forward.

That's another option that I forgot. 

 

I wonder if Barron could do that.

Perhaps could have done better at opening goal but even then it's difficult to react to shots from ten yards or so when the ball is being switched from the other side of the park.

 

Tav, Davies, Jefte and Cortes ahead in the blame game... ;)

I don't disagree, but I wasn't just thinking about this game. I feel like he's had a poor pre-season, but I suppose that's true for most.

It's pre-season - takes a few weeks for everyone to get up to speed with sharpness and goalkeepers aren't excluded from that.

This is really bringing out the GK in you...
