Rangers look awful defensively, the goals conceded were comical, shocking. While I only saw highlights, they look like a bunch of players who don’t know each other. I’ll give JT credit, he focuses on togetherness and playing together. I hope teams including us take note, they are there to be beaten.

Hahahahahahaha!!!

Plan B (or C) to me would also involve a different type of 9, not just another big loon up top trying to hold the ball up etc.

There was one situation in particular when he picked the ball up deep and attacked straight up the middle. Far too often we’d knock it back, square, or send it wide and hope. He’s an aggressive 10 that we’ve badly needed, I like what we’ve seen so far. for this formation to work we need a 9 who can play technically, creating 2v1s with 9 and the wide guys and the 10, or wide guys and 10, as you saw with him and morris. Yengi really struggles to control the ball which makes this hard. He was a little better today though, but from what I’ve seen on YouTube, lazetic seems pretty technical and could make a big difference.

Motherwell at home in the next round, not a bad day!

I wouldn’t necessarily say that. You can only make 5 subs, deep bench. At the same time, they are down the pecking order.

Hoping Milne’s groin isn’t a big deal, he was the one who waked off towards the end.

Not complaining but Morton have been awful. Offered very little. Exactly the game we needed in a way.

Exactly the type of preseason games we’ve lacked. Solid half. In true form though, Morton score and it becomes a demanding fight we don’t need.

Got a strange feeling yengi has a good game. New striker arriving and he’s extra motivated. Think he scores today.

Good to see some rumors today, plus p&j reporting we have a sell on of 20% for mccrorie. If he goes for a reported £3m that pays for today’s newbie! Seems like there’s a bunch positive feedback regarding the Hungarian lad too, interesting!

You saying Greenock is not the Milan of Scotland? besides Marko, who else is being linked???

I’m starting to think we’re ruining polvara’s career. He’s not getting extended minutes regardless of how he plays, and he’s played out wider recently which is not where he belongs. None of our central players are consistently good, I just don’t under stand why he isn’t given a start. As you say, perhaps we aren’t aware of all of the story there. I really wonder if he’s capable of playing alongside shinnie with adil ahead of them. We clearly signed a 10 so polvara isn’t playing there from the start, why aren’t we trying/taking a look?

Bit harsh I think. Thought milanovic was unlucky when he was physical and took the ball from tierney early in the game. Wasn’t a foul. Compare him to a morris, hedges, McGinn, Hayes okkelsetc, maybe topi, he’s just as physical or more so.

I think that style of play comes from our inability to get it to a 9 who can collect and link with the other front 3. As a result, when you know your 9 is pish you go wide or to 10 earlier and you get what you said. Not effective.
