Match Thread Villarreal v Rangers - 17:55 Thursday - BT Sports

[Netherthird]

Waste of a freekick.

 

[TheRoofeIsOnFire]

Just take the fucking shot from there!

 

[archimedes]

Great surprise set piece there....Lafferty runs over the ball and around the entire pitch to get to the back post.

 

[audiorealis]

Their gameplan is to stop Arfield from getting any time on the ball and that's stopping us ticking. The second he receives the ball, someone's on top of him. If he had someone sticking close to him to receive a quick 1-2 whenever he gets the ball, then we'd get a lot more joy.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Worrall holding the ball up better than Lafferty.

 

[Jaws II]

Candieas or Kent need to be subbed for Grezda or Middleton. Need to try and get a goal at least.

 

[Kimarcus]

Rubbish cross from that. Good position need to a lot better from set pieces as they look like our best chance at scoring here.

 

[Superrangers]

Much better of late but we really need to be more clinical.

 

[tazzabear]

Should be a card.

I thought so too.

 

[PortoyMortoy]

Of course as soon as i say two players should come off they both have a couple of good minutes

 

[Safe Standing Bear]

Why are we not shooting from there?

 

[Vader]

Tav is capable of scoring from there, why cross it over Coulibaly's head?

 

[The Shadow]

I’d bring on Grezda for Arfield and Middleton for Candeias

 

[MilwaulkeeExpat]

I prefer referees err'ing on the side of caution, rather than trying to make a name for themselves and dishing out the cards, but that was surely a booking for the push on Kent?

 

[EC54]

A chance to shoot and we still dont take it?

 

[CaptainObjective]

All our set-pieces have been wasted. So poor.

 

[Business_Bear]

Tav would have went for goal if that was an SPL marc.

 

[Earth Worm Jim]

Fat better this has half

Whys tav not shooting there though

 

[a_weir]

Appreciate the effort but I’d have just gone for goal. We have players who can do that.

 

[Axelrod]

I was pilloried in a match prediction thread for saying we would lose without our key players , that was before we knew katic was dropped .

However I have to say I think we’ve done okay here all things considered . Some of the negativity on this thread is appalling.

 

[Partickger]

Better so far in the second half, decision making needs to be better to get something out of this.

 

[Jacrispy]

Young Guardiola coming on

 

[si72]

Free kicks are woeful

 

[linthousebear1981]

Looking a bit better as an attacking threat but that was a helluva waste of a corner. Take the dig, we are goal down.

 

[Butcher6]

What was that ffs.

Chance for a shot at goal and we play it straight out the park.

Tav needs removed from set plays just now.

 

[tazzabear]

Rubbish cross from that. Good position need to a lot better from set pieces as they look like our best chance at scoring here.

One of those crosses thar could easily have been a peach.

 

[Southsideblueblood]

Can we at least say the Worral chat pre match was nonsense. He’s been one of our better players.

 

[Crown_Defender]

Late to the thread; is Katic being rested?

Yes

 

[Vote For Pedro]

When did Tav stop taking the shot with free kicks? He was deadly at free kicks when he arrived! He should have buried that in the top bin!

 

[Kaiserweiss]

Get grezda on now

 

[sonofbunk]

Much better start to this half - a lot more composed.

Still no cutting edge

 

[Ali Baba]

I came into the match tonight not expecting to much.A decent display and anything out of it a bonus.I think we’ve been a bit lucky to be only one behind still.Maybe gave them a wee bit to much respect they are a good team but not amazing.Anyway come on Rangers give us a goal.

 

[Kimarcus]

Striker off for them and midfielder on.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Why not just have a shot

Lafferty and Tav both capable from there

 

[Southsideblueblood]

What was that ffs.

Chance for a shot at goal and we play it straight out the park.

Tav needs removed from set plays just now.

Frustrating doesn’t cover it.

 

[TheStandardBearer]

Lafferty wanted to ram that free kick home as soon as we won it, Tav talked/argued him out of it so he could put a shite cross in, I reckon he should be letting him have a go if he fancies it.

Poor call by the captain.

 

[Lovelager]

Who said he’s jaded?

Fella called Gerrard. Think he's ITK.

 

[Crown_Defender]

One of those crosses thar could easily have been a peach.

Agreed. Right in the area where the keeper doesn’t know to come or not.

 

[VMS]

I'll take candieas off now

 

[Crouchy]

Yes

No injury though, just a well deserved break ahead of the weekend?

 

[Vote For Pedro]

Said Ally who played 4-5-1 in the Challenge cup final

True!

 

[servicepoint]

Free kick outside the box you have to be having a shot, that’s s total wate when chances are at a premium.

 

[oranje-viola]

Great save Greegsy

 

[HowdenEnder]

What a save!

 

[CaptainObjective]

Shagger!

 

[VMS]

Great save

 

[Spinning Blue]

What a save Shagger.

 

[zzigurat]

great save

 

[Jacrispy]

Brilliant from McGregor

 

[Kaiserweiss]

What a save what a ducking save

 

[Realger34]

What a f.ucking save!!!

 

[Unicorn]

Good save from shagger
