MOTM Poll Rangers v PSV Eindhoven - 20:00 Tuesday - BT Sports

[Hideyorii]

Ive always thought davis and lundstram play the same game, coming deep and getting the ball from the cbs.

 

[IbroxForever]

Davis starting is an interesting one, don't understand it at all.

Davies must be injured.

 

[Brother Moses]

I think we’ll go 3-5-2

I f*cking hope not!!!

 

[Malsie1872]

Tillman shunted wide again

 

[Pol1_]

Decent team

I wonder if Kent on the right, they won't be expecting that

Hopefully Tillman in the middle 10, far better in the middle rather than out on the right

 

[New Jersey Bear]

I would imagine Lawrence will play off the right, or else it’s 4-3-3 which wastes Tillman completely.

 

[Capo]

Sands at the back makes me really nervous.

 

[loyd_grossman]

Prediction: 3-1, Tav, Colak and Tillman to score

 

[Blue 9]

Any victory will do me

 

[Vony Tidmar]

I can see gio dropping lundstram into a back 3 when out of possession, I'm not comfortable with sands at CB. Assuming Davies is not fit since not even on the bench. Into these c7nts.

 

[Manc Bear]

Morelos is nowhere near ready to start tonight’s game.

He isn’t far away winkie, thought he might have had a chance of starting tonight. I’d be starting him next week

 

[Jjbscotty]

Don’t like that team Davis and lundstram hardly ever play well together.

 

[Main Stand]

3-1, Colak, Tav & Lawrence.

 

[NDC bear forever]

With De Jong so good in the air, surprised Sands at centre back.

And never even considered Davis would start.

Wondering if Gio has his Davis and Davies mixed up

Sands is better in the air than Davies, aerially is where Davies struggles most

 

[Kirkhillbear]

Surprised sands is playing again, hopefully her cuts out the slack passes.
Would have went with Jack or Kamara with Lundstram, I don't think Davis has the legs to cope with the psv movement in the middle of the park.

 

[Davie1971]

I think Advocaat fancied him at the time.
Possibly realised he had better with Mols!

Along with Parma in the qualifiers at Ibrox, that game was one of the ones I enjoyed most back in the day.

 

[Boab4]

Define everything?

The last few team selections, and you know it

 

[Hatchet]

Did you hear why Davies doesn't make the bench mate? I didn't expect him to start anyway. Has to be an injury but, hopefully, minor.

Not heard why but think Sands would have started regardless.

 

[FifeBear]

Sands worries me at the back, but any sort of win tonight will do for me.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Sands & Barisic defending our left side gives me the fear but looking forward to our forward play.

 

[DrMantisTobogganMD]

if tillman has been punted out to the wide positions after the two performances hes put in in the previous games then its a disgrace. We always seem to move players from their best positions

 

[irvine96]

Very pleased to see Steven Davis in the team.
He is the calming influence we need

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

Surprised sands is playing again, hopefully her cuts out the slack passes.
Would have went with Jack or Kamara with Lundstram, I don't think Davis has the legs to cope with the psv movement in the middle of the park.

Apart from young Leon King he's all we've got left to play

 

[bornabluenose]

Surprised sands is playing again, hopefully her cuts out the slack passes.
Would have went with Jack or Kamara with Lundstram, I don't think Davis has the legs to cope with the psv movement in the middle of the park.

He won't get away with them tonight, so he has to.

 

[Hatchet]

The last few team selections, and you know it

Last Tuesday and this Tuesday spot on. Kent was "back" against Killie but rested.

 

[TN8]

Surprised sands is playing again, hopefully her cuts out the slack passes.
Would have went with Jack or Kamara with Lundstram, I don't think Davis has the legs to cope with the psv movement in the middle of the park.

Goldson's full of slack passes but plays every week. The 2 of them were taking it turns to give me the fear last week. More of the same tonight probably.

 

[WinkieWATP]

I don't understand how anyone that's seen him over the last 3 games thinks he's ready to start.

You could maybe understand it if Colak was struggling but he is 3/3 going into tonight. To drop him for a half fit Alfie would have been bonkers.

 

[jackstar]

Hope we get off to a flyer. I'd love a 3-0 to take over there but any win. I think we're going to have to score more than one goal, obviously,but we'll need a decent lead to take over there. Good strength off the bench,should we need it.

 

[NUL bear]

Surprised- pleasantly. Davis played well the other week and hopefully his presence will allow Big John a licence to get about the pitch

 

[WATP1979]

Don’t like that team Davis and lundstram hardly ever play well together.

Agree 100%

Fingers crossed it works or could be a long night I fear

 

[Bigbluebear]

I reckon this is going to be very open. Won't be surprised if its high scoring. 4-2 to us

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Don’t like that team Davis and lundstram hardly ever play well together.

Davis and Lundstram together, after Sands and Davis came on, is what saw us gain control of midfield against Eintracht Frankfurt. Obviously the scoreline went against us in the end but it was only when we switched to that setup that we had any sort of control of the game.

 

[Anony Mouse]

Good strong bench there too

 

[Nerlinger]

Any word on what's happened with Ben Davies?

 

[WinkieWATP]

Surprised sands is playing again, hopefully her cuts out the slack passes.
Would have went with Jack or Kamara with Lundstram, I don't think Davis has the legs to cope with the psv movement in the middle of the park.

Davis is a tremendous reader of the game he will be fine. Plus when we are on the ball he speeds it up or slows it down when needed better than any of our other midfielders imo

 

[Tagsbear]

One center half in a game of this worth. Incredible. Wheres our £4m signing?

Pretty obviously injured!

 

[Business_Bear]

Fingers crossed Davies isn't serious with Souttar out as well.

 

[Lanarkshire]

S Davis to keep hold of ball i think

 

[Delboy Trotter]

Still confident in getting a good result but not sure if it’s through blind optimism.

Seeing that team and immediately I can’t help but feel that we’ve brought in two centre halves in Souttar and Davies who are going to end up spending as much time on the treatment table than on the pitch. With Souttar the majority of fans could have told management he’d be injured regularly.

For me, it’s absolutely criminal we’re going into a playoff CL tie having to play a centre midfielder at centre half. It’s a weak spot for us.

Also disappointed we haven’t went for pace at right wing given they’ll likely play a high line.

Tillman was pretty anonymous out wide last week and only really upped it when he got moved central. For me, Wright/Matondo should have started on the right with Tillman starting through the middle behind Colak

 

[Corriebear]

Sands for MOTM tonight.

 

[Monster]

Another lesson due in why we shouldn't play Davis and Lundstram together.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

£13m worth of new signings not in the team

 

[iprod]

Holy mother of crap is it negative in here. That's a really strong team. Let's do this

 

[andy5836]

Tillman shunted wide again

The front 3 can change positions with each other when we attack.

 

[Alex_Bear]

Goldsons our best defender but he's been just a guilty as anyone this season for slack passes and giving away easy possession from the back. Everyone will need to be on it.

 

[Jjbscotty]

Davis and Lundstram together, after Sands and Davis came on, is what saw us gain control of midfield against Eintracht Frankfurt. Obviously the scoreline went against us in the end but it was only when we switched to that setup that we had any sort of control of the game.

hopefully different in europe but anytime I’ve seen them play together domestically we have struggled in midfield.

 

[Bulletproof]

Was that the main one running like usain bolt

Running the risk of a ban here but I'm not sure the aforementioned admin would be capable of running.

 

[Valley Bluenose]

An hour until kick-off. Time for most sane men to quit the Match Thread and leave it to the lunatics and the negative Nancy's I think.

Byeeeee!

Has Davies had any injury problems before? I know very little of him other than he was going to the scum before Liverpool got him where he has played very little first team football?

 

[agentcooper]

I fear playing Sands will be costly tonight. Hopefully I'm wrong.
