I believe we’re on proper big boy Sky hence the 8pm KO. High viewing figures nailed on and not just the Sky lot based a few miles away not wanting to go to whoever else are at home.
Why has the team been released 1h 15 mins before kick-off? Expected some changes, but maybe one or two too many?
When we’re playing at a Megadome near Heathrow one day it’ll be the night games I miss most. Had a lovely little walk around with some time to kill. Lovely football weather.
Busy few days...just sat down to update with any team news...guess I left it too late. I like the look of our front four, and would love to see Frey and Kone begin to build some understanding as a front two. Those two working effectively together with Vale and Dembele in support, and Saito and option to bring on, could be a significant threat. Come on Rangers!!!
On my way to HQ - first live game of the season, can't wait. Bench will punish them tonight. Imagine being an exhausted defender being pushed around for 65 mins by Frey and Kone, chasing Dembele, and then a fresh Saito and Burrell come on to finish you off. We'll score three goals after 80 minutes - you heard it here first.
I like how Southgate used to talk about starters and finishers. We've already seen JS willing to make early changes. Let's see, but I like it.
Of the nine players on the bench, I don't think there would be many complaints if they all started. When was the last time something like this could be said?
