der Berliner 3,246 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Nope, he was center midfield. He was playing behind Garner in a 4-3-3. That is secondary striker in central midfield, if you like. Miller was moving about a lot in the first half, while Toral was usually trying to do the CM job and taking the ball and spraying passes. He failed. When he went off, Miller took a more deeper role and did better there than Toral. As in: people change positions in games and we do have - in front of the back line - a lot of positional changes throughout a game. Just look at McKay. Holt didn't play either. That was what I would have changed at HT, Toral and Windass (pretty useless up to that point) off, and Waghorn and Holt (to quote myself) ... on to gives us at least some presence and workload. Not that hard to discern. Edited May 17, 2017 by der Berliner 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooponthewing 1,139 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Just back and not much to say. I know it's all trial and error at the moment but there is simply no midfield highlighted by Kenny Miller playing in the CM right or? Lets see how it goes at Perth on Saturday? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooponthewing 1,139 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Windass is hopeless! On a sour note is was sad to hear Toral being booed by some when going off. I am aware he isn't setting the heather on fire however we shouldn't be booing our own players, any of them. These people should stay away, imo they are not welcome at Ibrox! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was Pedro getting the bird for the stupid substitution as Toral wasn't great but he was miles better than the other two in midfield tonight up to that point. Not good whatever way you look at it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) Well that was utter gash, the first half we set up all wrong, Aberdeen were for stronger and chased ever ball, it didn't help our cause that Toral was determined to give the Sheep as much help as he could for them to score. Honestly i'll drive that man back from whence he came, complete dross. The only bit of light i can see is we have a few good lads coming through, the four who played tonight would get a start from me on Sunday.

forlanssister 3,050 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Sad to see Ibrox emptying before the final whistle, a sign of things to come ? First time you've seen us at Ibrox then I take it? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jaws 570 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I'm not one to jump on bandwagons etc but I'm a bit confused by the whole thing really. In an, according to the manager, must win match at home he plays a group of kids in defence (regardless if they were competent or not). Clint Hill in what is presumably his last game for the club is fielded as injured. Unless of course Clint has told him tae fak off you'd have to ask Clint to give you at least a decent 45. In doing so he can walk out to the fans, take his due applause for services rendered, and be Clint Hill in defence for 45 mins. The midfield was completely over run as a 3 against 5 with no alteration from the manager. As I say I'm bamboozled with that whole situation there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Happy birthday, Gribz! Careful not to mix with the ladyboys after the cocktails this time though! Mate the ladyboys were gorgeous Im never mixing tequilla with vodka again though. But that performance was a bit of a kick in the teeth and hurts a bit that they won at Ibrox. A lot to address for net season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,150 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Difficult to be positive but we wanted to see kids play and we had more than a few feature last night. Sure they made the odd mistake but I think all four of them (Beerman, Bates, Wilson and Barjonas) did well for most part and on another night we might have managed an unlikely draw. In general though, I don't think I've seen such a powderpuff Rangers midfield (and team generally). We're slow, we don't anticipate, we're pushed off the ball, we don't tackle, we dive in, we stand off and we can't do the most basic of things. Yes, that comes down to the players but the coaching looks equally poor. Lots of questions and I don't see many answers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) It happens every game, nothing new Last home game of the season, though. That's usually special. And I feel sorry for Hill not getting any send off at all. I know it's not a big thing in the mountain of worries that we have but I am damn annoyed that they've ended the run of not winning at Ibrox.
