calum_gers Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Nice to finish with a win and give some youngsters a run out but the overwhelming feeling is meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Decent in part from Saints but poor in others. You accept that sometimes you can't keep up an intensity for 90 minutes but after a good start, Saints fell off it after just 30 minutes and let Rangers start moving the ball too easily. We never really got the tempo back and were probably fortunate the Cummins strike reduced the deficit to only one. Alnwick made an important save just after, one of a number he pulled off. It's fine Caixinha giving some young lads a run but the brutal truth is that if any of them are being relied on regularly next season then it'll be another stroll for Celtic. Massive summer ahead for him. All about rest for Saints now and hopefully a couple of new faces for next season. Swanson needs replaced and we should be striving to improve on Kane and Cummins.

PauloPerth Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 For an end of season game with nothing at stake, that was still fairly entertaining. Fair play to both sides for playing it as a proper competitive match. First half hour Saints were far better, Chris Millar and Liam Craig were dominating the midfield, but Kenny Miller started dropping deeper to get involved and Windass was getting a lot more space. For a period in the second half we looked like we might be overrun, but some good last ditch defending kept us in it. Millar seemed to tire and started keeping the ball too long rather than playing the simple pass, and he and Craig seemed to be outnumbered in the middle. We still had our moments, and could easily have forced a draw with a bit more finesse in the final third, as Neil said at HT. Agree Thomson had a very good first half, there's signs him and Foster can link up pretty well given a few games together. Was also impressed with young Hurst, who looked a livewire and had a good touch. Quite a few really positive bits of play in a brief appearance from him. I thought Shaughnessy and Foster had good games, Easton a great first half. Millar overall good; we play far more football when he's in there, and Maclean was a nuisance as ever. Kane not too effective first half after a good return on Wednesday. Although they are really poor by previous rangers team standards, they're still the third best team in the league, but disappointing to not beat them over the four games, as they were there for the taking at various times. Another fine season, a few signings to boost the starting team, not just the squad, and we could kick on even more in our pursuit of European domination.

The Saintee Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I reckon that our first team would've won that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 That was certainly worth a 19-hour round trip. I love St. Johnstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Miller is Rangers best player by absolutely miles. His tantrum in the second half was hilarious though-can't believe he avoided a booking for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
