Phenomenal. Where do these results keep coming from. The second and third goals were a joy. 

 

Ive been saying 3-5-2 / 5-3-2 for almost 20 years 😃

 

Im not having Dessers off side goals though, they dont get closer than that, I still think the second one is onside regardless of the lines.

The offside law needs changed. If you have to draw lines, if it's that close, give the scoring team the benefit of the doubt.

Yes it is a rule issue, the frames can also change depending if the player doing the assist has made contact with the ball or it has left his foot. Also for Dessers first, its his arm that is offside which should not count as you cant score with your arms / hands. Not to mention diagonal camera angles.  

 

Cant believe I am complaining after a fantastic result 😄

First time Fenerbahce have lost a home European knock-out tie.

I assumed a 4-5-1 with Ridvan wide left and Cerny wide right. I don't think it suits Dessers playing up front on his own though, even though he's in good form. If the tie is still in the balance at the end of the match i'll be happy. 

This level of pre-match analysis and understanding of the professional game is further evidence of why everyone should ignore anything I post on football. 

What a result.

It’s admissible. You’re not complaining about the team.

Funnily enough, Dessers was a Europe specialist at Feyenoord too. He's been better than Igamane lately though. Whatever anyone says about Dessers, he comes across as a model pro.

I saw the highlights and the counter attacks looked very good. Fener is a strong team, but Rangers defended well in European games before. The line-up looked a bit strange, very similar to other Scottish teams at your stadium. Perhaps you try it against them too and confuse them, so they try to play football themselves?!
