MOTM Poll Rangers v Benfica - 20:00 Thursday - BT Sport

[QueensferryCR3Bear]

Fresh legs should have been on at 2-0

Fixed that for you

 

[mountloyal]

Kamara saves the bacon, again.

 

[tazzabear]

Who should he bring on then?

It’s who comes off for me.

 

[westl65]

Hard to watch now our discipline has gone

 

[hunter1rfc]

Goodson deary me sir

 

[No Money No Problems]

As if we have some devine right to beat Benfica, lol

Proud of the team tonight no matter what. They're a Champions League team, no doubt.

 

[Brant Hurley]

We're holding a CL side for the 2nd time in a fortnight.

 

[BenVorlich]

Looking very nervous at the back. Goldson, Tavernier and Balogun all very jittery.

 

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

whast goldson doing there?

 

[Azzurri]

I hope I'm wrong but we could lose this.

 

[Beechwoodboab]

Ryan Kents running on fumes now put in a great shift

 

[Craig]

Goldson fannying about ffs

 

[ottawabear]

We are dead on our feet here. F*kk me we needed fresh legs twenty minutes ago.

 

[cullybear]

Goldson having his brain fart moment. Luckily Kamara had seen it before!

 

[Danger Zone]

Armchair tacticians out in force I see.

you’re right mate we should all log off now and not bother discussing the games and what’s unfolding. Bin the whole forum

 

[Rudolph Hucker]

For all that Gerrard looks to have learned a lot of lessons this season, the lack of subs at 86 mins in a European match is criminal and inexcusable. Absolutely ridiculous and lets hope it doesn't cost us even more than 2 dropped points. When will he learn?

 

[sportssocks]

the team is knackered ffs, bring on subs

 

[cav]

That we haven't tried any fresh legs at all is questionable at best

 

[Derek76]

I hope I'm wrong but we could lose this.

We could also win it

 

[Barnster Bear]

We are due a bit of luck against this team.

 

[Get yer Macaroon Bars]

Their Fresh Legs and our Lack of has changed this match.

 

[Number 4]

The intensity Gerrard is asking these players to press with is not compatible with no substitutions.

That’s just common sense.

 

[Godrup99]

Two great goals from a very good team. Disappointing after being 2-0 up but given it's happened twice now, I think we just have to accept that they're an equally good if not better team.

They are excellent. So are we. Been two outstanding games with some awesome goals.

 

[sirstevefleming]

Davis or Arfield should have been off a while ago. Lack of subs for fresh legs has cost us again.

Agreed - I was looking at the bench around 70 mins

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Can't believe the reaction of some on here (as frustrating as it is).

 

[bad boy boogie]

I don’t think it’s that simple. Benfica are an excellent team. Champions league regulars. It says something that we’re angry at not beating them twice.

This

 

[Arminius]

Come on Alfie.

Give us a sneaky wee winner

 

[devilman]

Some people going on about the reaction on here being over the top.

Throwing away another 2 goal lead is pretty bad. Extreme levels of defeatist attitude. We shouldn't be losing and should be doing more to get back into it.

The assumption Benfica are this mega team and we should be pleased is utter nonsense. We were two goals up and playing well and fell apart.

 

[Southsideblueblood]

Is there any point in having a bench?

 

[SECTOR:72]

So incredibly frustrating when we can’t manage a 2 goal lead twice against the same team.

 

[marbach]

Bet365 paid out on Rangers to win after the second goal. Thank %^*&.

Got that myself mate

 

[Moz]

Armchair tacticians out in force I see.

You don’t need to be a manager to know that you should use your subs when half the team are blowing out their arse.

 

[DoubleWhopper]

Should be on 12 points sitting on a hammock with the cigar out And now it's all back in the melting pot

Aye were sweating as to whether we’ll go through now ffs

 

[Punpun]

They are a very, very good side.

Weve been so much better though

 

[imager]

The intensity Gerrard is asking these players to press with is not compatible with no substitutions.

That’s just common sense.

most of this side wont play Falkirk so hes letting them empty themselves.

 

[db3058]

Please hang on

 

[Artful Dodger]

Still no changes

I’m sitting here since 2-1 screaming at the telly for subs.Our midfield has ran itself into the ground and needs help.Sickening after putting so much into the match.

 

[Clay Davis]

Why are we kicking the ball out in the 90th minute when the guy is just down with cramp

 

[pelem]

We've just fell apart last 20 mins,

 

[Stella_Bear]

Are we done yet?!

 

[Danger Zone]

Giving up a 2 goal lead to 10 men was hard to take but forgivable as an anomaly. Giving up a 2 goal lead twice against the same outfit is a lot harder to forgive.

We’ve still got a lot to learn about seeing games out and protecting a lead.

 

[hunter1rfc]

Linesman’s fucking at it

 

[Donsky]

This linesman is in the take

 

[artificialintoleranz]

Wow, this reaction on here is an utter fkn nonsense.

Unbelievable.

The players are on their arses after a brilliant performance against a top side. Of course mistakes will be made.

We would have broke your arm for two draws from these games when we saw the group draw.

Just manage this game over the line and we have done fine. Beating Benfica on a head to head home and away is no mean feet if we can pull it off.

 

[Damsidebear]

The linesman useless

 

[ekbear]

That linesman is a nightmare!!

 

[Kirbys House]

This linesman is beyond hopeless

 

[QueensferryCR3Bear]

This nearside linesman has been paid off surely. Check his bank statement ffs

 

[david1982]

Fucking hell are you watching linesman?

 

[Jase]

Stevie Wonder running the line?
