Had to go 2 up front if Boyd was to play.

 

You have to chose formations based on the players available not force fit players into formations.

 

I agree. But at the moment we don't seem to have another striker who is any good! Prso wasn't fit enough. Novo has been playing on the right wing as Burke isn't good enough at the moment. That leaves Sebo, but he's not been given a chance to get to play with any of the others to get a partnership going.

 

We steam-rollered Tel Aviv playing a 4-5-1 with Fergie playing in behind Boyd, so the formation could work depending on how individuals play, the opposition play etc. It just didn't happen this time out though.

Difference was that against Hapoel we played Novo and Burke which helped link the midfield and attack aswell as give us some speed.

Against Osasuna it was Burke and Adam (no speed)

 

Also Hemdani played beside Weir and had A LOT less trouble with passing the ball out of defence than Ugo in the Osasuna game.

 

I maintain that the line-up in that home game against the spaniards robbed us of the slight chance we had to progress

I think the lack of character can be traced back to the last days of the DA era - in his last season, there was a very evident lack of character in the squad, something that AMc managed to turn round quickly to win 5 trophies in succession - a feat that looks more impressive every passing season.

 

This is one of the seemingly 100's of issues that needs to be addressed urgently at Rangers (on and off the field - we haven't had a board member with 'character' since David Holmes) and I am heartened to read that WS says that in this close season, he is after 'winners'.
