AJF Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Quite a sickening result considering where we found ourselves at half time being a goal and a man up. In terms of performance we were dominant for 35 mins but for some reason the game just seemed to flip entirely from the free kick McGregor gave away onwards. We became timid and allowed Malmo to get on the ball without any pressure. Two moments of real quality from their number 9 and we were chasing it. We huffed and puffed but with no real quality or composure that we've been used to in European competition under Gerrard. Steve Davis was the only one I thought that got pass marks but was let down badly by his teammates. Infuriating watching it as you know this is a team that is capable of far better but for some reason we haven't been able to get going yet this season. Maybe in previous seasons the mutiple rounds of European Qualifiers have helped us get up to speed, whereas this season we seem to be rusty and lethargic. On the positives, it was excellent to be inside a full Ibrox once again even if the result was poor. Big improvements needed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anybody count them at the start of the second half?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say they definitely are given our European performances under Gerrard have generally been very good. We have beaten far better teams than Malmo in the last couple of years in Europe so, yes, I think they are capable of better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tavernier wasn't really a standout in the dreadful category last night - Barisic on the other hand, was woeful. Caught out over the top all night and was given a torrid time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Watching it on Free Sports now - that second goal is pub league stuff. Four players drift towards the guy taking a throw-in, then the one Malmo player who gets the ball just melts through two defenders. Hilarious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
