TommyLeePwns Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I think we're being harsh. It looks like St Mirren's arse backwards way of admitting that Rangers are box office. Pleasing... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet there are fans of all teams whose activity on here ebbs and flows a bit, especially when their team's a bit shit. And also because they have jobs/lives. Anyway, would love to think we could sneak another win here but it's probably unlikely. A point would be great I'd be happy with a good performance. As much as I hate to admit it, Rangers are a very good side right now. Good to see we've been able to rotate the team recently. Obika, Connolly and Mason to come back in for me. Erwin, Morais and McAllister to drop to the bench. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 The Blue bigots aren't going to make the same mistake twice. They'll start with their strongest team, rather than play the likes of Eeyore Bassey at left back getting his arse handed to him on a plate. A hugely testing game for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do as I say, not as I do..... I love it when The New Rangers fans refer to each other as bears. I imagine them to be all cute and cuddly, when they are really not. Carry on lads, sorry, bears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Personally whenever any Rangers fan mentions bears in connection to their support, it's not the ursidae type that springs to mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hmm. I think a couple of you chaps might be a wee bit too far down your own wee imaginary Christmas rabbit hole here with the chat. Here’s hoping for an entertaining game in any event. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) Anyone who reads the radar’s breakdowns will know that this game needs to be the game where we show how we either a) win with Tavernier being man marked or doubled up on, or b) show we know how to get him free of that. If we can’t, then the outcome of the game is very uncertain and Celtic will almost definitely deploy the same tactics on Saturday.

sergie's no1 fan Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I think we got McGregor up to about 8/10 on his rage-o-meter. I want to see him go full seethe mode. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snuffing out the wingbacks is a good idea from the oppositions point of view, but doubling up leaves them exposed through the middle. Now would be the ideal time for Kent to return to form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good thing about having a team full of Irish boys is that it's easy for Jim to motivate them for this fixture! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now would be the ideal time for Kent to return to form. Think you’ll see one of Arfield or Aribo (dependent on Arfield’s injury) playing a floating role that works into the space that’s freed up by the doubling up full back. Starts off with the usual 4-4-3, ends up being a 4-2-3-1 with Roofe leading the line, then Kent, Aribo, Morelos behind, with Kamara and Davis sitting deeper to cover the Saints midfield when Rangers are in possession. Cant see much beyond Rangers really pushing from kick off and attempting to overload their defence, if the first half hour is anything beyond 25% St Mirren possession I’d be surprised. Think good use of subs will be key, Itten offers a presence in holding up the ball and playing the channels that we are normally overly reliant on Morelos for, obviously Hagi is in great form but don’t think he’ll start, but he does offer that trickyness and shooting from outside the box that stops teams being able to sit in deep comfortably. On the Kent point, I think the role he’s been asked to play is similar to Firmino for Liverpool - but with some slight differences in terms of how high we play up the pitch. I don’t think he’s massively out of form, just think he’s the player two passes before an assist by design most games. Goal would do him good though. Still, there are issues with how high Rangers play and susceptibility to counter attacks - the ball in behind our full backs followed by a quick diagonal to the back post has led to at least 5/13 goals we’ve conceded this season - Lang for Motherwell and Smith for Dundee United being good examples, the lad in the Europa who can’t have kids any more as well. Think it’s probably that there’s no perfect system and the cons are outweighed by the pros, but we’ve conceded nearly half of our total goals in December so it’s maybe starting to need addressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
