MOTM Poll Malmö v Rangers - 18:00 Tuesday - Premier Sports

[Jim Denny]

Cant play Lundstram and Arfield together, pointless

 

[snoopyboymason]

This feels like a 90’s qualifier

 

[Captain Cutlass]

Sakala...ooft!

 

[Thesuperger]

I agree, he's had an off night...something even the best players in the world do. To suggest we never play him again and essentially get rid of him is absurd.

We have better players than him, unfortunately he's had to many off nights.

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Allowed extra time off before travelling home. That’s a holiday, no?

He got less time than the rest of the players.

 

[two2tango]

Get out of there with this result

we need to pick it up massively next week thank no away goal

 

[Davie86]

Not going to pick out individuals as it's been awful all over the park tonight from back to front.

 

[GOLEADOR]

80th minute and still their keeper hasn't had a save to make

 

[BillStruthsGreenhouse]

We need a wee bit of composure and we can get a goal. Too many rushed passes and to many blind crosses, we miss Aribo and Kamara who can turn in a phone box. Only Davis has that finesse tonight that we have come to expect from all our midfielders.

Lundstram and Arfield are off the pace, and heavy with the touch.

 

[Cosmic bear]

I don’t think people understand just how limited our midfield options are this evening.

This - Kamara is a huge player for us

 

[Cossiekins]

We're making this mob look good
We're tired and off the pace and can tell this lot are well into there league campaign

 

[Deleted member 125]

We’ve beaten far better teams.

But every man and his dog can see that we just can’t handle a well drilled high press.

 

[blueman14]

Hagi must not be fit enough & Kelly not trusted at this level.

Only reason I can fit of with the lack of subs

 

[ShieldhallBear]

Allowed extra time off before travelling home. That’s a holiday, no?

He had less time than anyone else in the team, plus even if he played how can it be his fault that our defence and midfield has been non existent.

 

[UnionCruiser72]

Baffled at how bad arfield and lundstram have been.

 

[RobbenHood]

Based on season 20/21

Kamara, Jack, Morelos - shadow of the team without those 3

That’s the difference and unfortunately we can’t call on them for the second leg

 

[DC Anchor]

not a shot on target, not a chance created,
need someone, Hagi ? to open defenses
Malmo are no mugs but they are no great team
This is very poor from us.

 

[oranje-viola]

Get out of here at 2-0 and try and find a solution at Ibrox next week will do me now

 

[JD1872]

The ref was conned there, Helander barely touched him

 

[Bear necessity]

C'mon Rangers still plenty of time

 

[Queens Club]

The difference between being fit and “match fit”, which Malmö are, is huge. We have had only one competitive game so far. As long as we don’t lose another, we have a chance as we are getting up to match fitness

 

[barrheadbear]

Anyone else think Lundstram looks like he is carting a double decker behind him?

He looks nothing like the imposing midfielder I thought we were getting, he's been poor tonight hut then he is not alone.

Gerrard's cup woes are no longer just domestic as this will be his first defeat in his 20th European qualifier.

 

[EKblue]

I think we need a goal tonight can’t see us getting 3 without losing any next week

 

[Eddie Doc]

No options. I’m guessing Hagi is not really fit to play.

Shouldn't be on the bench

 

[Main Stand]

He has cost us massively. He knew that Roofe was unable to play, I have a funny feeling that is why Gerrard was so pissed off the other day.

He got time off sanctioned by the club (less time than everyone else) ya fucking madman, we should be able to beat Malmö without him.

Only Alfie could be blamed for our defence and midfield going missing against a side as poor as this.

 

[Artful Dodger]

I could fu*k weep watching this.They are pish poor as well.1 shot in 81 mins and don’t look like scoring.

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

I'd say Kelly is already both better technical and he's atleast much more mobile than those two.
Youth shouldn't be the reason he's not on the pitch, the other two are terrible.

 

[Mr Wilton]

What a mountain we’ve given ourselves to climb!

 

[oranje-viola]

I think we need a goal tonight can’t see us getting 3 without losing any next week

No away goals now at least

 

[Hillheadbear]

Good pressure from Sakala

 

[Govanx]

We need some fkin spine and aggression in the team. Helander checking on that diving bastard is the kind of limp wristed pish we don’t need!

 

[tazzabear]

Don’t think we have ever come back from a 2 0 first leg loss we need to find a goal from somewhere

No, we haven’t but we have recovered twice from being two goals behind.
Even then, what’s to stop this being a first time?

 

[Superted 1872]

There's a goal in this for us

 

[Kingwoody]

The difference between being fit and “match fit”, which Malmö are, is huge. We have had only one competitive game so far. As long as we don’t lose another, we have a chance as we are getting up to match fitness

That kind of backing your team doesnt usually get much truck on the match thread. Cap doffed.

 

[Beer Bear]

We’re looking for their defenders to make a mistake and it’s not going to happen.

 

[Business_Bear]

Remember when people jumped down my throat and accused me of all sorts for suggesting we might be badly unprepared?

Well done you.

 

[The Crimson King]

Think we're just going to have to resign ourselves to climbing a mountain at Ibrox. Never scoring here.

 

[RobbenHood]

He got less time than the rest of the players.

Due to the copa America but the point is, he was allowed to stay after it. He could’ve came straight back

 

[Laudrup11Cooper]

Watched him in all the games he has played so far since he signed, and for me... Lundstram will be fine for SPFL. But in Europe not good enough.
Their physical approach has totally not knocked us off our stride.
I'm afraid Gerrard does not cover himself in glory here either.
Wrong line up, and... I will leave it at that.

 

[OnlyRaskin]

Game has come too early in the season for us.

We've had longer to prepare for this we must have know that there was a chance Morelos wouldn't make this with Copa America and knew kamara and roofe were out

 

[Alpagers]

Arfield is always a scare when not up to match speed. Lundstram has also been poor. We will be lucky to escape with anything from this leg

 

[DoubleWhopper]

I think I remember somebody pointing out that we have never overturned a 0-2 defeat from the first leg of a European tie.

So important we score before FT.

Come on Rangers !!!

I don’t think very many other teams have either.

no away goals changes the dynamic slightly.

But we’ve just given ourselves an Everest sized mountain to climb

 

[Moreloslaces]

Well the guy has a point, we pay his big wages.he should be playing

He's entitled to a holiday after playing a full season and the Copa America. This is not on Morelos, this is on the players on the park.

 

[Commander Bjorklund]

Stunned that Arfield/Lundstram are still on the pitch.

 

[Godrup99]

There's a goal in this for us

Can't see it, we've had minimal threat.

 

[steve84]

He’s nowhere near fully fit yet

Does not been fully fit account for a lack of any pace though?

 

[Gios_Gillet]

Should still be beating this mob.

Agreed mate.

 

[snoopyboymason]

We need some fkin spine and aggression in the team. Helander checking on that diving bastard is the kind of limp wristed pish we don’t need!

That annoyed me as well

 

[RoofeIsOnFire]

We need a wee bit of composure and we can get a goal. Too many rushed passes and to many blind crosses, we miss Aribo and Kamara who can turn in a phone box. Only Davis has that finesse tonight that we have come to expect from all our midfielders.

Lundstrom and Arfield are off the pace, and heavy with the touch.

Our issue is we are trying to be too composed and slowing ot down needlessly. Good example is that cross could have been in about 6 passes earlier with less defenders back

 

[QueensferryCR3Bear]

81 mins and we are still going for crosses and diagonals into the box from open play despite Tav's header there being the only thing we have won all night. Edge of the box get them turning or create space for a shot. Has anyone had a dig at all yet?
