Match Thread [FT] Servette 1 - 1 Rangers (Tavernier 51)

[yuddie 1,050]

A big difference between last and this season is our build up play from back to midfield, we were far better playing into the centre of the pitch under Gio and it surprised PSV at Ibrox I think.

 

We're getting there with the combinations though, there was some really good passages of play today when Servette were committed which is encouraging.

Wee word for Jack Butland tonight. He was superb & kept us in the game first half.

The little friar Tuck lookalike Raskin looks like a player as for Danilo and Dressers look to me like a couple of duds anyway well done another game another payday

I have to admit that when I saw the same XI walk out for the 2nd half I thought we were done for. Switching Cifu and Raskin into wide pressing roles made a huge difference to our play. The Swiss seemed to lose their way completely and it nullified their  FB's who were having a field day. Moving to a back 3 with the introduction of Sterling also seemed to help. Glad to see us through to collect that £5m. Still think we'll be better in the EL Groups with the higher seeding. CL still seems a bridge too far for this side currently.

If we got a bad draw it'd be humiliation all over again. 

 

Our defence is crap.
