MOTM Poll Rangers v Sparta Prague - 20:00 Thursday - BT Sport

[Donsky]

BT embarrassing themselves with that statement

 

[final_straws]

The B team guys at the weekend got slated for just going with the experienced guys, and what happened. At some point the underperforming experienced guys need to sit a few out. Imo.

As a new manager coming in, you don't just dump the experienced players by the wayside.

You need to give them a chance to prove themselves to you or else you will just alienate your squad straight off

 

[bluetonic]

Judging by the tone of this thread we've already lost the game.

The Goldson effect?

 

[Main Stand]

Has he played at CB before

Against Prague.

Very badly.

 

[Johnny Yen]

Did Gio not say he was going to make changes?

 

[StansgRFC]

Shite statement Darryl, nobody cares.

 

[OzzyGersman]

I think we are going to batter Sparta tonight.

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Get this won.

 

[rfc_chris_rfc]

Against Prague.

Very badly.

Let’s hope Goldson can keep his positioning in check a lot better than balogun did next to him.

 

[OzzyGersman]

Did Gio not say he was going to make changes?

He never said that would mean changes to the team players.

 

[kblair2912]

Hi folks. Would a 2 goal win see us through? If (big if) us and Sparta finish on 7 points is it head-to-head or goal difference?

 

[Laudrup11Cooper]

Shite statement Darryl, nobody cares.

What did this trouble mixing little prick, say this time?

 

[bluetonic]

Hi folks. Would a 2 goal win see us through? If (big if) us and Sparta finish on 7 points is it head-to-head or goal difference?

I think we need to win by two goals

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Come on Rangers get two or three goals.

 

[I'm So Bored With The MSM]

You know what they say about making the same mistakes,and looking for a different result.

Gio hasn't made any mistakes yet.

 

[club175]

Ally must be peed off having to do it at Celtic park

 

[ForGodForCountryForever]

With that lineup Gio better have a miracle up his sleeve

 

[Davester]

As a new manager coming in, you don't just dump the experienced players by the wayside.

What does he do if the experienced players do a Hibs? Continue playing them until you get to know them? Play them until we're behind the rodents? Or start to make the changes for the future of the team?

 

[Boab4]

Did Gio not say he was going to make changes?

Yes, and he has. Why?

 

[granda bear]

who's going to be the first to ask about GvB coat ?

 

[StansgRFC]

What did this trouble mixing little prick, say this time?

The usual pish about not splitting up a team blah blah for the benefit of the goat botherer.

 

[Main Stand]

He was playing at the weekend. Maybe picked up a knock, as he isn't long back.

Hopefully King takes this chance and kicks on. I feel if Gerrard stayed the full season we would have probably lost King for nothing at the end of the season.
I doubt Gerrard would have had him near the squad this season and King would've seen no pathway. Gerrard isn't a fan of shorter CBs, nevermind King being 17 (18 in January). Hopefully the Ajax youth manager and the development guy from Antwerp will help take guys like King to a level ready for our 25 man squad in the next couple of seasons.

Gerrard played him a couple of times, albeit out of position (most likely due to his slight build).

The five subs rule no longer existing hasn’t helped either, and our inability to kill off EL games has meant it’s too risky.

I hope we’re far ahead in discussions with him, which I imagine we will be.

 

[Damask_Rose]

Ally must be peed off having to do it at Celtic park

Last time he told the security there that he's always welcome there as he's the top scorer there!

 

[Nattybutnice]

Same formation but no doubt different instructions to individual players.

 

[bearmind]

This isn't Football Manager computer game! An absolutely correct decision by GvB. What new manager ( two days into a job) doesn't give the established players the old 'Tabula-Rasa, a clean slate? Let GvB down here, in one if our biggest games of our season and appropriate changes will occur in future matches. He also has a strong subs bench with youth in there.

 

[Ataturk]

Isn’t Darryl Currie a Rangers fan?

 

[I believe in Eli]

Ally must be peed off having to do it at Celtic park

He could have said no. BT obviously using that location to annoy us. They couldn't get a studio anywhere else?

 

[Recoba]

So Emma Dodds says we need a 2 goal win to keep the Europa dream alive then Gio corrects her to say no it sends us through.

 

[bornabluenose]

Never going to be wholesale changes, apart from anything else, we don't have the personnel for it.

One surprise for me is Alfie starting again, let's hope the Morelos of old shows up .

 

[bluetonic]

Ally must be peed off having to do it at Celtic park

I don’t understand why is he not at Ibrox?

 

[Main Stand]

He could have said no. BT obviously using that location to annoy us. They couldn't get a studio anywhere else?

Why would they do it anywhere else when Celtic are also playing tonight in Europe?

 

[Corriebear]

Bassey at centre back worries me tbh

Same. He can’t head the ball. Brilliant left back but never a CB.

 

[Jjbscotty]

So Emma Dodds says we need a 2 goal win to keep the Europa dream alive then Gio corrects her to say no it sends us through.

If brondby win we can’t go through tonight.

 

[Laudrup11Cooper]

The usual pish about not splitting up a team blah blah for the benefit of the goat botherer.

They should have just banned him, after that statement about the permit.
Even after Ross Wilson's statement..some are still doubting him, and believing this little dick!

 

[Johnny Yen]

Yes, and he has. Why?

He’s basically made 1 change, Hagi for Arfield.

 

[ibrox1975]

Did Gio not say he was going to make changes?

He may well be changing how the guys approach the game.
Tactics, where our players play

 

[Polar bear]

Gio hasn't made any mistakes yet.

He watched that shite (that has been going on all season) on Sunday did he not?

 

[final_straws]

What does he do if the experienced players do a Hibs? Continue playing them until you get to know them? Play them until we're behind the rodents? Or start to make the changes for the future of the team?

He's literally just in the door lol.

I'm sure if we have similar results the changes will come.

For what it's worth, I'd have put McLaughlin in but apart from that not much else (given the injury situation with Balogun)

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Same. He can’t head the ball. Brilliant left back but never a CB.

He has a strange inability to predict where the ball will actually drop. Bit of a bombscare at CB but sincerely hope he pulls a performance out the bag tonight.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

Looks like a small Prague support. Thought they would bring more.

 

[Mr Han]

No fannying about and get these racists kicked out of Britain with their arses tanned raw.

 

[Saki]

Really surprised McGregor keeps his place

 

[Truffle Shuffle]

Did Gio not say he was going to make changes?

Does that mean there are no tactical changes or do tactics not count?

 

[I'm So Bored With The MSM]

Banner in the Broomy is outstanding lads!

 

[Albertz Loyal]

He’s basically made 1 change, Hagi for Arfield.

In gio we trust! Strange team, dropping the player who scored and looked up for it on Sunday ... But let's go

 

[Erik Bo Selecta Anderson]

Shitty BT go to the line ups as Gio’s coming out the tunnel

 

[Pol1_]

Big question

Does Gio have the brown brogues on?

 

[BagoBorealis]

The ref a Feyenoord fan then?

 

[Riquelme10]

Outstanding banner. Come on Rangers, let’s come out flying here.

 

[NI BEAR]

Come on!!!!
