I couldn't actually believe how toothless we looked. Last 10 minutes we were the ones hanging on. They came to Ibrox and took the game to us. Whenever they had the ball there was hardly ever any pressure on them. It doesn't help when we have Edu in the middle running towards a player, getting skint and then looking bewildered. We better not go to Sweden and play the same way and hope to nick a goal. We should go over with a 442, have Davis in the middle with Mcculloch, Wylde left mid with Wallace behind him and try exploit them down our left. Both players are quick and have a good final ball. Davis in the middle seeing as he's the only one that seems to be able to find anyone with a ball over the top. When Ness gets back I think we need to have him in the centre with Davis, use Mcculloch for the more physical games.
In spite of the financial problems, the Rangers team has been fairly settled with a very settled management structure. That doesn't compare at all to Celtic over the last eighteen months with Mowbray, eleven new players, bullets sent to players and that's leaving out all the stuff Lennon has had to endure.
Aye, dead settled. The majority of the first team were saying that they weren't sure if they were going to be sold at times
Rangers as a club were in more than ****ing turmoil mate, so he can't come out with "you only won it because we were ****e" pish. Celtic had the chance to bury Rangers and they ****ed it and everybody knows it.
Mmm. I'm not quite sure how you can equate being unsure if you are going to be sold to being unsure of your safety after you've been sent a bullet in the post. It might be common down your way, but thankfully the rest of us don't live in ****sville.
You're actually serious, aren't you? By the way, Sevenoaks is actually quite upmarket compared to Egham
I think a big difference is that Sweden play a summer league and were simply a lot fitter than rangers. I think rangers biggest concern now should be that you play a friendly before facing them again as opposed to a real game
It's the same every other year, Anp, and it did for us again last night. We were out on our legs from about the 60th minute and they were still buzzing all over the park.
We play St Johnstone this weekend, then Malmo a week today. The Chelsea friendly is the following weekend. Obviously the financial benefits must be huge, but why are both OF teams risking players to injuries by playing these friendlies after the SPL has started? I think Celtic are playing Wolves tonight, another friendly in a day or 2, then 2 games in the Dublin Cup!!
lol 20 grand a week a week failures and fitness is the excuse? If it is they should be shot, 20 large a week and they cant stay fit? A good team would have taken 3 or 4 off Malmo last night in an excercise canter. Rangers were the fitter team last night, they just dont have any class. Jelavic looks like some junkie from the briggit puntin vallys.
I'll leave this post to let everybody bask in your stupidity Keep up this tirade of ****e and I'll have to start deleting posts
WHyte couldnt splash the guy next to him the toilet nevermind the cash. He hasnt got two pennies to rub together...we told you that last year.
Can any Scottish club use fitness as an excuse? The season only finished five weeks before the pre season started and the players keep themselves in far better shape than they ever used to. I'm not sure fitness can be an excuse.
You're trying too hard to be totally different from your other username...either that or you're just one seriously thick, ****wit
I know what you mean, I don't think it's fitness as such, more a case of match sharpness. There is a reason why pre-seasons are so tough, and this season we have had much shorter preparation time. At the end of the day, I don't think there are any excuses for last nights performance. Hopefully McCoist will learn and the team can improve (they couldn't get much worse)
It's just like boxing. You can be fit as a fiddle, but it's all about the timing, and if you've been out the ring for a bit, then it's going to take time to get it back.
