Never forget how disgusting and reprehensible both vile institutions are. It's the same as trying to pick which serial killer you'd rather spend time alone with. Both are responsible for the terribly low level Scottish football has been stuck in since the 80s. And both have Orwelian claims to greatness and morality. Spot on!!!

tian447 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Realistically, that's the sort of draw they were after.

Cruyff Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I think Rangers back themselves against almost anyone. It's 4-3-3 take the game to the opposition and try and outscored them. Fair play to Gerrard and the Rangers team for getting so far. It wouldn't surprise me if they beat Slavia Prague to reach the QF's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tian447 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Rangers issue in this one is that their Europa League play style of "we'll score more than we concede" only works if the other team's defence is shite. Slavia looked like they had some big lads at the back last night who stuck to their system flawlessly, and they made a free flowing Leicester side, who are 3rd in the Premier League, look absolutely toothless up front. They weren't very pretty up front themselves, but they didn't have to be. Also, a certain somebody used to play for Slavia... so I know who I'll be cheering for.

JFK-1 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I feel Rangers will beat Slavia to go into the last 8. If that comes to pass they would then very likely be up against a real giant. That's when we will see their real standing. And maybe that of Gerrard in some respect. Incidentally out of the 16 still standing they're 7th in the betting to win it.

Bazzas right boot Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Rangers are a good side and shouldn't fear anyone that is left in it. If they got through and drew for example Arsenal, they are capable of knocking the likes of them out on their day imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDK2020 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I think it may be a step too far TBH. It's getting down to the nitty-gritty now and not much room left for error (ie slack defending). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people are misunderstanding the fact that they put 9 past Antwerp, leading to a suggestion that Antwerp are somehow a poor side. They're not. In the groups Antwerp inflicted the only defeat of the group stage on Totenham, beating them 1-0 in Belgium with Harry Kane, Gareth Bale etc. on the field. That's no mean feat plus during the return leg in London they only lost 2-0 to register an aggregate of 2-1 across the two legs. Rangers will always adapt to the opposition, if it were a potent attacking force which Slavia are not, Rangers are more of a potent attacking force, they would adapt to it. Gerrard is a vastly experienced Euro campaigner who captained a Liverpool side punching way above it's weight at the time all the to CL glory. He knows how to adapt to circumstances.

Our 05/06 cup win didn't happen, or 2012 with than penalty in the semi final. I don't know what to think about Rangers in Europe. I find myself wanting them to win their Euro games against my better judgement which is very weird. It might be because Gerrard is one of their least obnoxious managers but probably because there are no Rangers fans rampaging around Europe. They have also been playing some good football in Europe. There's another thread talking about "standards". I do think Gerrard's European experience is helping him put out a team that believes they can win in Europe.

Tazio Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Another classic case of Erik Lamela and his terror of the ball ever touching his right foot. Great turn and run through the defence and then with the goal at his mercy uses the outside of his left foot to try and curve it in. Luckily Kane got the rebound off the post and scored. It’s fascinating to watch the ways of passing and using the ball to keep it on his left at all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
