MOTM Poll Dundee Utd v Rangers - 12:30 Saturday - Sky Sports

[NDC bear forever]

Missed the first half. How are we playing?

 

[Jelle1880]

I would take Lustrump off.

 

[bkerr72]

Midfield isn't working we don't need Lindstram and Davis dropping short to collect the ball just need 1. If he's insisting with this setup then get Arfield on so he can get upto try and support Alfie.

All they're doing is working hard off the ball and we have no answer to it it's always the same when we face teams that do it.

 

[gizmico1986]

For all the chat about Lundstram, and I’ve been one of them as I have posted above, Ryan Kent needs to get his finger out.

 

[Blue Skies At Night]

I was thinking more get Wright on and drop Aribo in the middle. Try and stretch the game a bit.

I really don't like Aribo in midfield. It seems like he's not sure what to do & his cover for the FB's isn't his greatest attribute in that position which leaves us exposed. His attacking is stifled because of it too. I also think he's a bigger threat up front than Wright too.

 

[Clementime]

Lundstram due to be filed under PL player coming up and thinking he’ll stroll it ala barton etc, so slow and weak needs to really get his finger out.

I don’t think we can play Davis and Lundstram together, one or the other. Both together drag our intensity down to a crawl.

Davis pulling the strings for Kamara and Aribo is dynamic.

Lundstram and Davis leaves Kamara to spark during attacks, which is one dimensional and unfair on Kamara.

 

[Modfella]

Lundstrum seems off the pace without the ball, barasic is strolling and we are passing sideways, need to be more direct going forward

Agreed both need hooked but I hope the daggers aren't out for Lundsrum, it's too early to judge

 

[crmpicco]

For anyone not watching and nearly having a coronary reading this thread, we've had 64% possession. We look fairly pedestrian and Dundee Utd are running about like diddy teams do v Rangers. Neither team has created a clear cut chance.

True but 0-0 is no good to us

 

[sregnar]

Good to see this seasons 'whipping boy' has been identified early doors.

Is someone not allowed to be criticised for playing poorly?

 

[Arkanoid]

He certainly isn’t alone today.

New whipping boy, lazy to single the big boy out when others should be pulling a new player through a tough shift

 

[BlueHaze]

Missed the first half just switched on for the 2nd kick off,Reading through a few posts it seems we have been very poor hopefully lift our game for the second half and get the 3 points we want.

 

[ScottyRFC1872]

The effort from United is all we're going to see this year. Everyone wants to be the team to beat us, plus fans are back.

Our players need to up the effort levels, there's no excuse for being outworked.

If i was a fan of one of these diddy teams i’d be raging that they dont put that effort in every week.

 

[Crown_Defender]

Would keep lundstrum on till 55/60 then take him off, aribo back to cam and wright on the wing

Don't see the point in that. Maybe if we were winning 2-0 mate. He was a passenger in that half. I won't write him off yet but we need more urgency in there. Giving it to 60 minutes and allowing their confidence to grow would be daft imo.

 

[Raymondgers]

If we are wanting to play lundstrum. I think he would only work with 2 cdms

mclaughlin

tav
Godson
Helander
barasic

Lundstrum
Kamara

Kent
Wright

Aribo or Davis

Morelos

No chance that happens

 

[HamiltonBear]

I know that, counting down the days tbh

Thought he’d be a good replacement in the squad for zungu but right now I’d prefer zungu back

lundstram's a mile off the pace.

Are we starting this pish already?
New whipping boy 2 games into the season. It takes time to bed into a team.

We haven’t got too many playing well as yet. It will come. United are all full pelt in every area. They will tire and /or make some bad challenges.

 

[Helander]

Good to see this seasons 'whipping boy' has been identified early doors.

Would you prefer people pretend he's actually showing something?

 

[giogaddi]

True but 0-0 is no good to us

Of course it isn't

 

[Macca]

United playing well and with energy. I suspect they will tire out on 65/70min +

John Lundstrum is so far behind the rest of our midfield it’s scary. Slow on the ball , game passes him by. Not suited to a dominating rangers team.

Kent needs more of the ball.

Aribo and Kamara been excellent

Alfie been decent as well!

 

[UlsterBear91]

Lundstram not offering very much. Need more driving runs from Kamara too.

 

[AnglianBear]

Dundee Utd fan 1 "You're not Rangers anymore"

Dundee Utd fan 2 "Who we playing against?"

Dundee Utd fan 1 "Rangers"

Thick as mince.

 

[BWO]

For all the chat about Lundstram, and I’ve been one of them as I have posted above, Ryan Kent needs to get his finger out.

Kent, Borna & Goldson all look off it.

 

[barrheadbear]

He’s certainly not the all action energetic midfielder I was expecting based on what folk were saying when he signed.

Yeah, he is definitely not the box to box powerful midfielder I thought we were getting. I know competitively it is only two starts and a sub appearances from Lundstram but he needs to get his finger out, not deserving of a starting berth from what I have witnessed so far.

 

[RobbenHood]

Are we starting this pish already?
New whipping boy 2 games into the season. It takes time to bed into a team.

Not 2 games, I’ve seen him play 5 times now

 

[DragonBlue]

He is even running like him and crossing in the same style as he does.

Weird

CCTV needed at Mr Grealish’s house I think…

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Is someone not allowed to be criticised for playing poorly?

Is he the only one playing poorly? Was he the only one playing poorly on Tuesday?

The answer is NO in both cases by the way.

 

[Moreloslaces]

Missed the first half. How are we playing?

shite, no urgency. think Malmo and you'll be pretty close

 

[BaTmAn]

If we are wanting to play lundstrum. I think he would only work with 2 cdms

mclaughlin

tav
Godson
Helander
barasic

Lundstrum
Kamara

Kent
Wright

Aribo or Davis

Morelos

No chance that happens

So Davis, in the form of his life as our deep-lying playmaker, you'd put as a number 10 just behind the striker?

 

[Arkanoid]

Is someone not allowed to be criticised for playing poorly?

There's not a lot of context though, just Lundstram is shite. He's shite because Davis and Kamara are shite.
Maybe the whole midfield is shite and soft AF with zero fluidity at the moment

 

[Nickyboyblue]

First goal,as always,is going to be crucial

 

[Artful Dodger]

I'd do that too. Our midfield is too flat.

That’s what I was trying to say bud.We seem to be a bit lacking when we get into the final third.We need to speed our play up here.

 

[Commander Bjorklund]

3-0 Rangers incoming.

 

[No Hiding Place]

Lundstram, Lunstram, Lundstrom, Lunstrom, and Lundstorm - been quite the first half - could be the new Morales!

what's in a name?
He probably rattle one in from 25 yards after the stick he's had.

 

[Chris01]

Missed the first half. How are we playing?

Lucky you!

 

[Karky Madoolla]

Wasnt a red card , ajer would have made it up from brentford to catch morelos

He didn’t catch him much last season.

 

[Onslow52]

Missed the first half. How are we playing?

Very poor in the first 45mins.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Mulgrew to get sent off before the hour and Rangers to win 2-0.

Mon the Gers

 

[giogaddi]

Shut these teuchter mutants up Rangers

 

[Helander]

Is he the only one playing poorly? Was he the only one playing poorly on Tuesday?

The answer is NO in both cases by the way.

He was the worst player in both games so far

 

[usbear]

The fine wine Steven Davis still running about like a 20 year old

 

[gusty2]

The crowd making sure Utd stay up for it.....let's get them silenced!

 

[Laudrup is God]

Lundstrum will never get forward if he keeps starting to take possession at RB it’s strange to say the least

 

[dh1963]

Big team not up for it with a more important match in a few days, and with a few players not up to speed.

Wee team who find an extra 50% effort and treat it like a cup final.

Games like this happen the world over, the big team need to up their game or they could be in for a shock.

We look second best for every loose ball and only Aribo looks like he can create something in open play. Our set pieces so far have been rotten too.

 

[sregnar]

Is he the only one playing poorly? Was he the only one playing poorly on Tuesday?

The answer is NO in both cases by the way.

Correct but we’ve seen the rest play very well, we haven’t see him play well since he signed imo. Madrid maybe the exception. He’s a new signing on big money and yet to impress when it counts.

 

[WATP1979]

Missed the first half. How are we playing?

Utter pish mate

 

[Blue Skies At Night]

I think I'm 60/40 on the Mulgrew foul being a yellow. It's annoying but it's a good foul to make for them.

The defender was level with Morelos & if Alfie had took the ball to his right after leaving Mulgrew he'd have been able to get a shot off.

 

[douzpwa]

It's only a test because we're playing lazy football and making far too many mistakes.

That is why it is a good test, with them chasing everything we need to step up and be sharper be it passing, movement and taking opportunities Jase!

 

[BenVorlich]

Come on Rangers. Still think we’ll win fairly comfortably, just need to up the tempo.

 

[Blue Lew]

United playing like they are in a cup final and we are playing like we did against Malmo on Tuesday- not good enough!
Lundstram carrying on from his midweek performance and Barisic isn’t too far behind him either but they aren’t alone.
Finger out Rangers!

 

[R P McMurphy]

I think we will be hearing “your not Rangers anymore” for the next 150 years ffs.

 

[Dumfriesbear]

Roofe isn't on the bench m8, missing the game for family reasons.

That went over your head obviously.
