MOTM Poll Livingston v Rangers - 12:00 Sunday - Sky Sports

[OzzyGersman]

Dno what you guys were watching, thought Morelos was our brightest spark that half along with Kent, Aribo and Tav

Felt Arfields dropped out the game slightly, maybe could use a bigger presence to keep control of the game, would have to be Davis or Lundstram seeing as Jacks not in the team

Yeah mate can’t believe the criticism Morelos is getting. Assisted Aribo beautifully and in the main his touch has been very good on a poor pitch.

 

[Jabberwocky]

Maybe one for the controversial opinions thread but I would not be sad to see him sold in January whatsoever.

I think it’s best for both parties if he goes. Even if we got £1M for him we could put it towards Doheki.

 

[GF7]

The 2nd ball was a rebound that fell at an opposition players feet - these things happen - the mistake was Goldson’s not taking the ball that went straight over his head!

Well considering Anderson headed it in the net, not sure what you are even watching.

 

[aayjay]

We'll be facing more long balls in the second half - with the low sun in our faces. Sincerely hope we're up to the job or we'll be conceding again.

 

[giogaddi]

You're right. He is nowhere near Goldson...he's far ahead of Goldson, and he's never put a foot wrong in a Rangers jersey. He's exactly what we're needing.

Hahahahahahaha

 

[Clubdeckg]

Not sure if that’s the right change to make

Don't think he'll change it half time mate but as the game goes on I think Livi will struggle with Sakala's pace

 

[theryesider]

Thought we were going to stroll it, a nervy 45 ahead.

 

[Laudrup is God]

I’ve never seen a Rangers player who gets the ball stuck under his feet more than Hagi he is so frustrating because he has the technique to be the best ball player in the league imo.

 

[thornhill bear]

Absolutely cruising this then a simple ball over the top let’s them back in it. Thanks to Greegs it’s still a winning position

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

After Thursday's performance you'd like to think it was the confidence booster Morelos needed to kick on again and find his form.

Sadly not, anonymous first half from him...again.

It's almost like he's more committed and focused in Europe.

 

[EduardoHerrera]

Hagi is far too slow for modern football, looks like me trying to run the next day after five a sides.

Barisic is just not good enough.

Goldson needs Helandet and Bassey needs to go back to LB.

Lots of positives though especially first 20.

 

[WinkieWATP]

what has happened. was un the thread until 2 up n cruising by the sounds of it ....are we losing

2-1. McGregor had a point blank save to keep us infront

 

[Koala]

Will be interesting to see if he comes out for the second half or will Gio replace him straight off.

I think he could bag a goal yet but need more from him, he did do well to tee up Aribo

 

[Main Stand]

Goldson had plenty of time to get his position and header in, he failed on both accounts

It’s a brilliant pass, every defender makes a mistake so sometimes you need to accept you were out done by a great bit of skill.

That was.

Bassey not getting not following in and clearing it was down to basic errors.

 

[BigTinder86]

It’s the same people making the same mistakes. Goldson, Morelos and Barisic.

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

can't believe people are having a go at Kent when Hagi isn't playing well.

 

[Jabberwocky]

His mind is elsewhere by the looks of it, would have signed a new contract if it wasn't.

If Helander was fit, I think GVB would have dropped Goldson imo.

 

[bilkobear]

Livingstone are making a dogfight of this.
We will have to match their tenacity.
Morelos is too fckn deep again.

 

[tazzabear]

Maybe one for the controversial opinions thread but I would not be sad to see him sold in January whatsoever.

Me neither.
So long as he’s replaced though, and I’m thinking of a first pick here, a player higher rated than Helander.

 

[Davie Weir]

I seem to be one of the few confident and relaxed.

Thread is mental even for a match thread.

The play for the first 20 minutes or so was the best we’ve played in a long time, still confident here.

Reckon if we start like that again we’ll win comfortably, people acting like we’ve conceded loads of chances

 

[Punpun]

Agreed with both posts, Jacko isn’t on the bench PP.

Ano fixed that there, shame though cos this games tailor-made for him, especially with how Barisic is getting doubled up on and letting every cross by him, not sure a midfield of glen, arfield and joe provides him with enough cover

 

[spartacus]

You're right. He is nowhere near Goldson...he's far ahead of Goldson, and he's never put a foot wrong in a Rangers jersey. He's exactly what we're needing.

Seriously? He was all over the place positionally, lost his man time and again. That’s why Gerrard loaned him out and kept Simpson.

 

[HowdenEnder]

Watching the replay, Goldson kicked Forrest's standing foot, that was a penalty to them.

 

[Laudrup is God]

His ball retention is criminal at times.

Puts us in trouble quite often with slack passing.

More aggression and quick release and spin in behind now and again will open the game up for him to have some time on the ball

 

[EC54]

The way this defence is carrying on every week its impossible not to see dropped points in December

 

[RFC_Champions]

Posters saying Goldson is an EPL standard player are prob the same posters who said Barrie McKay would be playing “top end EPL” within two seasons of leaving us!

 

[paisleyblue8811]

I must be watching different game...barring the brain freeze from Goldson I reckon we've played well.

 

[Edweird]

I think McGregor gets that rebound on a grass park. Slips getting up for the rebound.

 

[Chester Loyal]

Why is there so much criticism of Tav?

He’s not been at fault for anything defensively and set up the first goal for us.

 

[Highland Gers]

Hagi offering nothing for me.
Wright/Sakala on will give us much more pace

 

[Business_Bear]

No Ryan Jack in the squad today, is he injured again?

Probably, same with Roofe, good players but absolutely no use on the treatment table.

 

[allygaitken]

Ridiculous goal to concede but I don't understand the panic in here. It's been fairly comfortable, people acting as if they have been loading the box with crosses.

Panicking as 1 goal means 2 dropped points!

 

[GF7]

Bassey is absolutely at fault, you should be following in and clearing the ball. He’s waiting on it and the striker gets round him to tap it in.

He's beaten to the ball, and far to easily at that. Anyone denying that is denying reality in a desperate attempt just to lay all blame at Goldson.

 

[BlueHaze]

A good talking to from Gio at half time about intensity and closing the opposition down and off we go again,More goals Rangers so I can relax.

 

[Carltonblue]

Not kicked a ball since our second goal. Reverted back to the old, easy bad habits. It’s an attitude issue Gio needs to stamp on that pronto.

 

[Al khobar-ger]

Hagi off - Wright on

Give Morelos 20 mins if no better - Sakala on for him

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

It’s a brilliant pass, every defender makes a mistake so sometimes you need to accept you were out done by a great bit of skill.

That was.

Bassey not getting not following in and clearing it was down to basic errors.

to be fair to Bassey, he was goal side of sorts and running back, the striker got the break of the ball though from McGregor's save with his feet.

 

[chablue1]

goldson and morelos ball retention is woeful
we need a third to win this i think but
we should be more that capable of that

 

[billybluehat]

We were a bit like this on Thursday. Started each half really well and then faded towards the end of each half. This will be a test at half time for Gio.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Maybe one for the controversial opinions thread but I would not be sad to see him sold in January whatsoever.

As long as we replace I don't think it's overly controversial. But it should never have been allowed to get to this.

 

[RH91]

can't believe people are having a go at Kent when Hagi isn't playing well.

Kent is doubled up all game and still does more than Hagi who they don't even bother marking

Never seen a player get so much space yet do so little with the ball, 3/4 touches to get it under control then he either massively overhits/underhits the pass

 

[GranvillusClutterbuckus]

Hope we get an early one in the second half. One goal leads give me the heebie-jeebies these days.

 

[pollokparkloyal]

We had the chance to put a ball into the box and decided not to bother. Shocking play

Yes the missus was looking at me funny when I was shouting at the tv there.

 

[Bryanmc]

Genuinely looking forward to bassey going back to full back as borna can’t ever stop a cross coming in

 

[davstr]

Watching the replay, Goldson kicked Forrest's standing foot, that was a penalty to them.

Boo fûcking hoo

 

[Nightman]

Plenty of positives there. We impacted the game early. Playing fast football. A couple of individual errors. Hopefully, get a third early to settle the nerves.

 

[KensingtonBlue]

As a full-back your first job is to stop the cross.

Our full-backs don’t seem to have got that message.

 

[Big Buff]

High highs and low lows. Seems to be the story of GVB’s 1.5 games so far.

We haven’t created a lot of chances. Need to step that up

 

[Clubdeckg]

We really need Helander back

 

[SuperRanger]

Barisic needs to start stopping crosses coming into the box, been shite at it all season. Alfie again needs to find form, doing my head in all game, can’t control a ball to save himself.

I get your point but to be fair, he is playing on a frozen plastic pitch with the sun in his eyes. You hardly ever see anyone have a good game on a plastic pitch. He did alright on Thursday.
