  1. Never good to have a fullback on a yellow at this stage. We’re struggling with any ball in behind.
  2. Really impressive awareness from Morelos there, unlucky not to result in a goal
  3. There’s still a real slackness in our play. I hope we can shake this off.
  4. Criminal leaving their main danger man in acres of space on the edge of the box. Centre midfielders need to take responsibility there.
  5. No surprises in Slavia's team either. One change from Leicester and the guy coming in has played a lot more than the guy going out. They seem to have a very settled squad.
  6. No surprises there, the team is picking itself at the moment. A slight surprise that even away from home Aribo and Hagi start ahead of Arfield. But with both players playing well just you could argue the shirt is theirs to lose and Gerrard wants them to know that.

  8. Looking forward to watching this game back so will hold back my vote till then, currently selling and buying a house so had to listen to the game rather than watch. Fantastic finishes from Kent and Morelos though for the first two. It's great to see them playing confidently again.
  9. Always good to have strong competition for MotM, especially away at Livingstone where we often don't have many worthy candidates. I only saw the second half in full. Great to see Morelos get on the score-sheet again and keep up his run but due to the missed chances I will go Kamara who is just such a huge player for us these days. He has always been technically brilliant but he has added so much to his game, his running is incredible and he takes it on himself to change games, and I primarily credit him with creating the goal in the end. I think his overall impact on the game is underrated because he is everywhere on the pitch, I would love to see his ground covered numbers. I thought Aribo was very effective too and played a big part in providing creativity to our play on a rubbish pitch which, without flair players, we have often looked very pedestrian on in the past (include Rugby Park in that).
  10. My word, compare and contrast to what Ajeti got a penalty for, and was judged not to have dived even after looking at video evidence.
  11. Another embarrassing loss for HSV. That’s now one win in eight games against St Pauli.
  12. They've only made the UCL groups once in recent times (last season) and they were very lucky because they dropped in at the play off round and only had to beat Cluj to get to the groups, who had had a very easy draw in the previous round (Celtic). This season they drew Midtjylland and were hammered 4-1 (3 late goals). Despite getting their share of the Champions League riches last season they have continued to sell their stars for big money and recruit on the cheap. They must be a very well run club to be performing as well as they are in those circumstances.
  13. Just so you get an idea of how close that is; Antwerp are 176th, Poznan 196th, Liege 211th, Galatasaray 74th (top of their league by the way so the comments made about them at the time by the press were unjustified), Benfica 44th. Slavia's rivals Sparta, who spanked Celtic home and away, are 138th. So this will be really interesting.
  14. In Fivethirtyeight's global club rankings this is an incredibly close match. We are 62nd and they are 66th. A fantastic gauge of how good we are.
  15. Their star man Sima is only 19, very interesting. Scored a cracker last night.
  16. A very good draw all things considered but we were so close to drawing Molde!! ?
  17. Oh wow, I didn’t realise you got £500k just for participating last night, I thought that was for winning. Great news, that’s another 1.1m in the bag then.
  18. Didn't get a chance to post after the game last night, but as I said before the game, what a time to be a Rangers fan. Love a European draw Friday. There were so many big performances last night. Totally agree with Ally McCoist and our manager that it was the best the front three have played all season. Kent and Morelos were outstanding, what a confidence boost that is for both and they have put themselves in the shop window in Europe again. Hagi's performance wasn't at that level but he still carried out an important role that is different to Kent. He was actually involved in all 3 goals scored while he was on the pitch, albeit in a secondary role. The first he applied the initial pressed which led to the inside pass, the second he made a clever interception and managed to direct the ball to Morelos, the third he was in the hole to receive the ball, turn and play a smart pass to Morelos. I thought the midfielders were very good too. At times I was just amazed that whoever had the ball I was on the edge of my seat. Kamara would get it and I'm thinking what's he going to do here, then it goes to Aribo and I'm thinking the same and so on. What a talented team we have. My only concern against better opposition is that without Jack we lack a bit of defensive discipline and aggression. Last but not least what a difference Patterson made when he came on. As much as Balogun deserved all the praise he got for last week, I'm just not a fan of a centre back playing rightback. They don't have the agility to defend against dribbling players in wide areas and you lose a lot going forward. Patterson's goal was outstanding, his run was so clever in the way he run across the back line inside before receiving it and his finish shouldn't be underrated. Many players would have just fired it at the keeper in that position and won a corner. He really does seem to have the potential to be the next Alan Hutton. Massive congratulations is due to the management and the team. Reputations are being built, player values are rising, the coffers are being filled (£500k for last night I think) and the increasingly important co-efficient is being topped up at club and national level.
  19. I don’t know how you can coach those passes out of Morelos
  20. Very strange because it was definitely played forward. We’ll see at half time I suppose, commentators were sure he was on so must be missing something.
