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

[Embra Bear]

I love a goal from a header like that. There’s something so decisive about it.

 

[JD1872]

We already look a much more direct team under Gio, none of this passing the ball sideways we are trying to get the ball quickly to our attacking players.

Thought we were very good today. The scoreline made it feel more nervous than it actually was

 

[theryesider]

Happy with that tough place to go and get 3 points.

 

[steve1873]

Did that interviewer just ask Joe if he meant it for his goal???

What in the name of %^*&?

 

[SpikeRFC]

Excellent result. Good overall performance in a very difficult place to get 3 points.

We really have to stop giving away possession so easily though. Our passing was quite sloppy at times.

Arfield, Aribo and Bassey were all very good.

 

[billybluehat]

Overall happy enough with that. 3points and we move on to hivs midweek. Good subs yet again from Gio.

 

[dublinbluenose]

The best performance I have seen from rangers at Livingston and 3-1 flatters Livingston.

 

[Jase]

if the sheep are up for it

 

[LizzyDrippin]

It such a relaxing afternoon getting the win in first, and knowing that we don't have to rely on the Sheep doing us a favour.

For once I'd be happy to see Scott Brown win at Parkhead

 

[justice1]

Airfield is great teammate in that squad. Never hides, always willing to accept ball.
Reads game well.

 

[Mac72]

A lot more attacking and direct. Central defence is still a major worry and definitely requires investment in January.

Overall a big improvement on this season

 

[kiwibear]

Another good result difficult ground to take 3 points.

 

[Seaside Blue]

Another pleasing performance and result. We have another gear to move up too.

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Great result, GVB a braver manager takes more chances doesn't fill the team with holding midfielders.

 

[Born in blue]

Onwards and upwards Rangers, same again on Wednesday please.

 

[OzzyGersman]

Happy with that tough place to go and get 3 points.

Drew a blank last season under Gerrard early on. Although tbf that was when they were managed by Holt.

 

[I'm So Bored With The MSM]

Had a look at their team. There’s nothing on the bench except Forrest.

McCarthy is also starting and he is fucking woeful so if the sheep are up for it in midfield they’ll have a chance.

Theres two hopes of the Sheep getting a result there and ones Bob Hope and he's deed!

 

[MaxiMols12]

Get Kamara hooked for Davis or Lundstrum. He’s been honking this half.

Log off Ryan Jack please

 

[bkkbear]

I love a goal from a header like that. There’s something so decisive about it.

From the photo it looks like an arfield header!

 

[frankie_dux]

Good performance and a great result

Goldson needs replaced asap

Tactics looked a lot better today

Happy with the shape of the team

 

[TN8]

Interviewer to Joe - Did you mean it?

What's that c*nt on?

 

[WinkieWATP]

The boy with the glasses reaction to Aribos goal is excellent.

 

[GF7]

Some goal for Fashion. Watching the replay, Holt is pulling on his jersey and our man still gets up.

From a standing jump too, it's some leap. All the more so that he took Jason holt with him

 

[dh1963]

A win is always good there, and to give a bit of credit to the team, Livingston never had a shot at goal in the second half.

But we need to massively improve our passing or we will struggle in the tough fixtures ahead.

Some of our basic 5 and 10 yard passes today were so bad it was hard to believe.

I'd like to see Sakala and Kent play at the same time on each wing.

 

[bilkobear]

If the opposition complete 1 cross in 10 it's dreadful defending by Tav as no cross should ever be completed.

If Tav completes 4 out of 10 at the other end - including the goal we've just scored as I type for his second assist of the day - it's a disgrace because no ball should ever be cut out by a defender.

The reason I'm always so defensive of Tav is because of the hypocrisy required to criticise him.

Very true. But his movement in the last third is intelligent and incisive to give him a platform to deliver.
Then too often his delivery let's his good play down.
But his numbers are still amazing.

 

[Jase]

Actually thought it was a half decent game today. I've not seen many of them on that slag heap.

 

[Stan the Man]

Just what the doctor ordered,thank you muchly 3 points in the bag 33 is such a nice number.

 

[Mac72]

Happy with that tough place to go and get 3 points.

This is the thing, even at the best of times going to Livi is probably one of the hardest non OF games. Nothing tends to work there due to Livi's style and that horrific park.

 

[Bluerhap]

Solid performance on a tricky pitch. Three points, a little pressure on them and prepare to put Hivs back in their place on Wednesday.

 

[Positively Blue]

Brown to score the winner would be hilarious.

While injuring one or two of their players please!

 

[steve1873]

The best performance I have seen from rangers at Livingston and 3-1 flatters Livingston.

1st half was a bit scrappy after they scored.

2nd half apart form 5 mis when they had couple setpieces it was utterly dominant.

 

[Bluerob]

Job done, not bad but not great either

Hope the sheep do us a turn later but I'll be shocked if they do

 

[bearmind]

Also great performances from a couple of our 'oldies', McGregor and Arfield. GvB etc instilling a new sense of belief in them.

 

[Bacuna_Bear]

I thought our passing was chronic throughout and they all had a shot at it.

Tav gets MOTM on the basis of two assists.

Goldson and Alfie were absolutely woeful.

Referee was a nugget as per usual.

Alfie played ok, if not at his best, nice lay off for Joe's goal. Worked hard.

3-1 at a very tricky venue, totally dominated the 2nd half, all after a EL match Thursday night.

Some fans are never happy

 

[Cyberniv]

Did that interviewer just ask Joe if he meant it for his goal???

What in the name of %^*&?

Obvious answer along the lines of:-
"Naw, I was trying to hit the goalie in the bollocks"

 

[Main Stand]

Stats wise that's not just true.

People like him as a player because he 'gets it' & he definitely has a moment of magic in him but he starts ahead of Sakala/Wright because of who he is.

Majority of the time he's a man down, there's a reason teams double up on Kent and not Hagi, countless times today he was in acres of space and either overhit/underhit the pass.

Stats wise it is true.

Hagi has the third most assists this season, despite only playing just over a 1000 minutes (half of what Aribo has). Kent has 1 more than him this season to be fair.

Last season, only Tav had more and Kent equalled it but Kent played 1500 more minutes and Aribo who played 400 more minutes managed less than half.

He creates the most chances, the best chances and it’s generally why he’s regularly at the top of these charts.

Tav is our most creative outlet, then there’s a bawhair between either Hagi or Kent.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Doesn't seem many agree but I thought Kamara was our top man today - even though he had a couple of errors. Right now, he's the one holding our midfield together.

 

[NUL bear]

Didn’t feel like it at the time but that was probably as comfortable second half as we’ve had this year

 

[Laudo.]

Young lads throwing snowballs...

Who would ever believe....

What an incredibly stupid post.

 

[ShieldhallBear]

Would imagine Livingston won’t finish top 6 this season so that should be the last time we need to play on a plastic pitch thankfully. It’s a brutal place to go and play, we done well to get the win and that should be us done there for the season.

 

[Captain Cutlass]

Had to go for Aribo for MOTM today, he was outstanding!

 

[cw3038]

Three points,decent performance………onwards!!

 

[Beanzie]

Glad to see the 3 points in the bag and no obvious injuries. Gave my vote to Arfield, good to see his contribution and did well to last the whole 90 minutes

 

[si72]

Great result on such a garbage pitch.

 

[Walter the Great]

Who are the space cadets voting for Goldson as MOTM?

Only one of them could vote for Goldson as Motm today

 

[No Hiding Place]

Good performance and win,Kamara and Aribo were excellent.

 

[SilvioBerlusconi]

Where was Jack today?

 

[TN8]

The amount of adverts on Sky does my box in.

 

[Super_Hans]

Great second half, absolutely bossed it. Great to see Sakala score again.

 

[Jamiegatami]

Second half was much more controlled. I don’t doubt Gio changed things at half time.

Tav MOTM for me. Real Captains performance and involved in everything.
