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

[The Crimson King]

We are to slow.

Think you could be right mate.

We're making okayish moves and getting into decent positions, but none of it is going fast enough.

 

[nemessis]

Craigan in particular is soooo negative. Nothing between the teams except for a bit of brilliance from the scorer. We can do this Rangers

He is so bad every time I hear him he grinds my gears and the depression sets in with his totally negative shit, the volume is getting switched off second half he's such a negative prick.

 

[GF7]

Another poor half of football this season. Lucky to still have 11 on the park. Get Lundstrum off at HT and let that be the last time we ever see him in a Rangers jersey.

It must be physically exhausting to be thst negative

 

[Robtheranger1]

The difference is they have scored we haven't with our chances.

Got to be more ruthless in front of goal

 

[Alex Venters]

We lack creativity midfield to front

We lack pace in every position.

 

[DavieM]

They are a decent side but we need have a bit more belief in what we can do and turn the pressure up this 2nd half.

Need to get the crowd involved - very quiet tonight.

 

[Bigbluebeard]

Can the people who are saying we are too slow not see what Lyon were doing? Closing down the space with 2 players in and around our players making them think before taking on a pass, causing the slow play.

 

[Tugay1872]

Doing a lot of good work outside the box, not had a sniff of a chance

Just think he should have been a half more onto that cross midway through the half.

 

[T90RFC]

Score 2 goals, get the 3 points and kick-start our season, get some confidence. That's all we want Rangers.

 

[Moz]

I thought that at first but if you watched the replay it was the correct shout. Davis would have stopped the player with the ball going with it and Borna could have got to the runner before Davis as he was too far away.

Nah not for me. Borna is never catching a guy going full pelt when he is still at a standing position. If Davis went into that space he could've got it.

 

[Cowan_rfc]

Right am sober and watching for a change.

This thread is reeking.

Lundstram has been probably our best player with Kent and Aribo.

We have another few gears to hit here.

 

[Markie55]

Got to admit we are playing a right good team. Think we have goals still.

At either end.

 

[Alex Venters]

No one blaming Shagger for the goal?

Great finish.
No blame for keeper.

 

[FordRanger]

I think we’ve done not too bad first half, created a few good chances. A wonder strike for their goal. We can get something from this game

 

[Nacho1975]

Wright's worth a punt at some stage (preferably before 80 mins) put them on the back foot with a bit of direct pace. We need a bit more zip, a bit too cautious.

 

[hms]

We aren’t playing too bad but not too great either, this is a different class in opponents.
definitely goals in this 2nd

 

[skorn]

We've got a serous lack of belief that's been affecting us all season.

Far too many back and side passes.

It's as annoying as feck when we have the ball, and numbers available, not too far from their box, with players moving into space ...

... and the ball ends up being passed back to our defence, or even to McGregor.
Then usually cleared under pressure upfield to be lost in a less promising situation than what we had just worked up to.

 

[Godrup99]

Reasonably satisfied with that to be fair. Not sure why folk are disappointed, current scoreline considered.

 

[Helanders Beard]

Nah not for me. Borna is never catching a guy going full pelt when he is still at a standing position. If Davis went into that space he could've got it.

100%, Davis is on the move he needs to track him

 

[Chris the Bandito]

When you see the goal back I'm not sure Kent is really at fault. He gets a really tight ball and there's nowhere for him to go and nobody else showing for him

 

[Baxter Blue]

We lack pace in every position.

We are absolutely woeful in and around the box.Too static.

 

[The Shadow]

I think we have enough to get something from this match.

Hopefully a couple of goals for a 2-1 win

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Reminds me of the Leverkusen game. Lyon are levels above us I reckon and that’s why we are so tentative; we are afraid of being carved open if we commit more. And that’s probably correct. I think our aim will now be to try and keep it tight until the last 15 and then take it from there.

 

[Hillheadbear]

Just watching replays of the Lundstram penalty incident again. I think the ref got it wrong. The Lyon No. 10 clearly barged him off the ball leading with his elbow. If it had gone to VAR I think we would have the penalty.

 

[Al khobar-ger]

Come on the Gers into them

 

[Sheamaker]

Another poor half of football this season. Lucky to still have 11 on the park. Get Lundstrum off at HT and let that be the last time we ever see him in a Rangers jersey.

Erm Lundstrum?

 

[Alex Venters]

Kent has created most of our chances through his work-rate.

maybe watch another sport?

Kent culpable for goal.

 

[basilboli]

Decent game. I’m not too downbeat .Fancy Kent to drag us back into it.

 

[Camy]

Actually think we've done ok and can take something from this. Lyon are a very good team too.

 

[Live it up]

Another poor half of football this season. Lucky to still have 11 on the park. Get Lundstrum off at HT and let that be the last time we ever see him in a Rangers jersey.

Give it up

 

[Helanders Beard]

When you see the goal back I'm not sure Kent is really at fault. He gets a really tight ball and there's nowhere for him to go and nobody else showing for him

It’s a wonder goal, that kind of mistake goes unpunished multiple times in a game, credit where it’s due it’s some strike

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Anywhere else on the pitch, that challenge on Lundstram is a foul. It wasn't shoulder to shoulder. The guy raced in and barged him.

 

[lovenkrands72]

They’re obviously the standout team in this group. Semi finalists in the champions league last year

Any one of us, Prague and Brondby that gets results against Lyon will obviously steal a March on the others.

We’re very much in the game. We rode our luck at times. On another night it could have been over. On another night it could have been 1-1.

As it stands, we’re 0-1. Enough there to believe we can get a result.

cmon the Gers

Thank jesus for a bit of common sense on this thread

 

[Realger34]

No one blaming Shagger for the goal?

Why would we?

 

[Ubik]

Might be a controversial opinion but i would play roofe over morelos , wee man just hasnt been on it last few weeks and roofe movement is better and hes a better finisher

in games like this we need our striker to do the simple thing at time, hold it up and lay it off.

 

[BlueMcLeod89]

We need someone direct with pace - Scott Wright

 

[Bluerhap]

We’re doing ok against a very good team. If we can speed up a notch in the last third we could cause them problems second half. We need more belief in our midfield and go for quicker forward passes. Big second half. Cmon the Gers!

 

[TheDerryend]

This might sound silly because we are one nil down but we are getting better. Some of our football was very good that first half

How dare you come on here with a reasoned response. No drama? who the f**k do you think you are

 

[Al khobar-ger]

Shagger shouldn’t get beat with that

 

[Scenester87]

Taking 3 touches before passing. Making safe ones when we could miss out a man and get more direct. Borna is looking really shakey too. I'd get Wright and Bassey on around the hour mark if there isn't a vast improvement.

 

[thornhill bear]

We are to slow.

This^^^^^^

 

[dynamo_rosco]

Wright to come off the bench and equalise. Mortgage etc

 

[Boab4]

No one blaming Shagger for the goal?

Stevie wonder might blame him, no one else though.

 

[Southsideblueblood]

It's nowhere near as bad on here as it's being made out. We've had a few chances but unlucky and we've also been a bit lucky with a couple of theirs. It's not a terrible performance against a quality team. But hey you are never going to get balance on here

 

[Born a Barras Hick]

No one blaming Shagger for the goal?

You having a laugh? Mate I don't think we would have stopped that if we had put Courtois and Neuer on the posts either side of Greegs.

 

[lovenkrands72]

It’s a wonder goal, that kind of mistake goes unpunished multiple times in a game, credit where it’s due it’s some strike

Sometimes you just need to accept someone has scored a cracking goal. At this level it happens more often

 

[CaptainHolt]

Not really sure what game people have been watching but we've actually been good in the first half. A wonder goal is the difference but overall it's been a decent showing.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

We lack pace in every position.

That's the biggest difference when we play better opposition in Europe.

I mentioned it earlier in the thread - we lack athleticism and mobility in the midfield. We saw it against Prague and it's apparent tonight (even against Malmo).

 

[geo81]

Kent has created most of our chances through his work-rate.

maybe watch another sport?

A prefer players who are actually in form and playing with some ability than laping up there work rate, work rate should be a minimum expectation

 

[LiviLoyal]

Erm Lundstrum?

Yes, he’s murder.
