Well played Gers. Did this team not beat Man Utd a few years ago? Or am I losing it?

Yeah you are right

Lots of good performances but Morelos was unplayable - he really is top drawer.

 

We have to work on maintaining our shape though when under pressure.  Too often the press becomes disjointed and players get out of position.  Even Jack and Kamara were guilty of that and it cost us at the second goal in particular.

For a four two  victory you would have got a generous 100/1 with Morelos as first scorer it would have been a whopping  290/ 1.

Well that was unexpected. I've read that the Danish mob have a tight defence and well drilled defence but the game, 2nd half especially was extremely open. 

 

Special praise to Jones for his direct run and pass to Aribo for the 2nd goal and a very well taken goal too. 

 

Katic's finish was fantastic for a centre half. 

 

That may be Morelos' best performance in a Rangers top. 

 

Was delighted to see Flanagan start tonight. A hard, tough tackling, bo nonsense defender.whi wears his heart on his sleeve. 

 

Great result. We got a bit sloppy in the 2nd half for 10 minutes but other than that a very competent result and performance.

That's two games on the bounce that Arfield has not been at his best,.. yet he scored in both.

Katic's goal was a thing of beauty , from Kamara's header to alfies lay off to the outside of the boot finish , superb football .

 

Still worry about Ojo's urgency and lack of aggression/desire , I know I am being hyper critical but he needs to understand now what is at stake playing for us .

[Rousseau 9,351]

I think Flanagan was the right pick for tonight's game; as was Kamara over Davis, and Jones over Ojo - Jones was particularly suited to this game.

Both played well.  Thought Flanagan was a risk given his lack of games but he played very well again.

Flannagans inclusion at left back is beyond a bad joke.   He got ripped up for arse paper in the UEFA cup last season.

 

This could cost us dear.
