MOTM Poll Rangers v Royal Antwerp - 17:55 Thursday - BT Sport ONLY

[mck1872]

really good to see Kent back to his best.

 

[LaudrupTheGreat]

I thought Lukaku looked like a pub league player for about 110 minutes of the tie. He’s giving Balogun a roasting just now though.

Balogun if possible should be subbed before he is sent off, lunged into 3 tackles since he was booked

 

[MrStruth]

We seem to feel the need to pass the ball onto the net.

 

[Main Stand]

Is there VAR even the commentators didn’t seem to know after they scored

Yes.

 

[AberdeenGer]

Aribo just needs to wake up sometimes, great going forward but switches off going back. I used to think he was lazy, and he is a bit, but he's definitely no Jack or Davis in the thinking department. Very poor goal to lose, let's hope he doesn't switch off again in the second half...away into my bunker now.

 

[Boab4]

If the player was crumpled on the ground with a head injury I would say it was good sportsmanship but he wasn't.

Yeah I do agree, but Alfie didn't have the same view of it as we did.

 

[Coza]

I get he’s an attack minded player but Aribo really does switch off when tracking runners sometimes. Aberdeen’s goal at Pittodrie another that comes to mind

When alex Rae was saying he likes him playing deeper rather than the front three I was shaking my head in disbelief.

He is far too loose in dangerous areas when he’s in the middle. Meaning teams are right onto our defence. He also is suspect at tracking runners like you say.

 

[tazzabear]

All the high and mighty folk about the morelos thing, if he does that against celtic you still feel the same way?

Doesn’t take me to tell you there’s a difference.

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Big half for Patterson.

 

[Arran Honey Pear]

I’d get Arfield on for Hagi
Push Aribo up one

 

[ALADOU34]

It disappointed with Aribo tonight seem miles off it

 

[Main Stand]

Side point, how the %^*& has Lukaku not been booked.

 

[Stevie13000]

Aribos needing a foot up his arse. Great attacking but hasn't a defensive bone in his body.

Correct, he has previous for this type of defending.

 

[Davie86]

We need the next goal . If they get it my erse will be pouting. Poor marking from aribo for the goal. Also balogun has been done by lukakus maw a few times down that side. Needs some help

 

[Business_Bear]

Surely we can't blow this!

 

[HagiJunior]

Hearing Patterson on for Balogun

 

[Albertz_Was_King]

I think we have played well.

Our full backs just can’t stop crosses though.

Kent and Morelos being the stand out players so far.

We have players from the bench who can impact the game however.

I would play Paterson second half.

 

[Chris the Bandito]

I get he’s an attack minded player but Aribo really does switch off when tracking runners sometimes. Aberdeen’s goal at Pittodrie another that comes to mind

He's just an appalling defensive player. His instincts are zero.

Love him on the ball going forward but I've rarely seen a guy who plays cm with such a lack of awareness of runners.

 

[Hurricane]

We will score another, easily. Calm down the panty wetters.

 

[dh1963]

Won't be long before see Arfield I think.

I don't think having both Hagi and Aribo works at this level when the opposition is as good as this.

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

Patterson switch is a tricky one. He's a booking away from suspension as well.

Baloguns a booking away from a red

 

[Delboy Trotter]

Pot, kettle, black.

I’ve stated in here his performance has been good tonight

Change the boring record

 

[The Golden God]

Patterson for Balogun

 

[Puggy]

Patterson on for balogun

 

[Kingwoody]

Ooft. That's going to go down well

 

[Hillheadbear]

Looks like Patterson on.

 

[buffaloskinners]

Patterson coming on .

 

[Shawlandsloyal]

Rafaleov out of contract this year. Just saying.

 

[ShieldhallBear]

Think Balogun needs a bit of extra cover you can see they’re just targeting him now, especially on a yellow card.

 

[Kirbys House]

Patterson hat-trick

 

[Jase]

Patterson for Balogun.

 

[Crown_Defender]

That Lukaku who plays for them is a brilliant player, would love to see him play for us.

'Nowhere near the level we need'

Apparently

 

[somethingblue]

Brave substitution

 

[Albertz Loyal]

Arfield for Hagi. Move Aribo front right. Switch Kamara to sit in front of Barisic and put Arfield in front of Balogun.

Problem solved.

Makes sense.

 

[Clay Davis]

Patterson on

 

[Kinbo]

Patterson has a chance here

 

[New York Bear]

Patterson on.

 

[Galstonian Oranje]

Thats a bold change. Good luck Nathan!

 

[dh1963]

Patterson on

 

[butch70]

Hagi is killing us he’s too slow to react and is switching off as is aribo

 

[tottie beck]

Patterson getting instructions from the bench

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

Well time for Patterson to step up huge now

 

[rst99]

Patterson coming on

 

[Boab4]

Wee Nifty on, come on son show us what you've got.

 

[Main Stand]

When alex Rae was saying he likes him playing deeper rather than the front three I was shaking my head in disbelief.

He is far too loose in dangerous areas when he’s in the middle. Meaning teams are right onto our defence. He also is suspect at tracking runners like you say.

I like him as the left 8 in league games against cannon fodder, for the reasons Alex said but he’s not disciplined enough for that role against good European sides.

 

[Gascoigne]

Really what Alfie did could be said to be unprofessional. You look after your own interests and let them look after theirs.

But we shouldn't be slagging him off for that.

Unprofessional? Settle down!

 

[Leopold]

Welcome to the party Nathan

 

[TheGerz89]

Big lukaku post

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Aribo hasn't been great in defence TBF, but he's not in his best position.

 

[Blue Skies At Night]

Correct, he has previous for this type of defending.

It's always a concern when he's starting in midfield.
