perthjambo Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Please do not play three at the back we are too slow for balls going over the top. 4-4-2 is the best formation at ibrox
JAYEL Posted February 13 Posted February 13 I wouldn’t mind 3 at the back on Sunday Schwalow Steinweder Halks. Findlay Altena McEntee Beni Milne Mags Braga. Kysi /Chesny
Shankland31 Posted February 13 Posted February 13 There are so many options for formation and personnel it’s crazy. Nobody can call either for Sunday. Please Del, just get it right, get the boys up for the fight and be ready for what could be one of the biggest games in Scottish football history. We are all with you! Let’s do this Jambos.
TynecastleBC5 Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Oh I'll have a go. If it was my choice: High press and force errors. Slightly worried about the right. Maybe swap Alrena out for McEntee and put Beni into DM. I just dont trust Steinwender with their pace. He's fast, but has slow acceleration.

bawheed Posted February 13 Posted February 13 8 hours ago, Exile fae Main Street said: Think you're missing the point slightly, imo, Bud. Kabore has made a great contribution to the team. However, we need to step up a gear at Ibrox, hit them with the unknown something like (I know DM will pick nowhere near it!) : Schwolow Altena Halks Findlay Milne Beni McEntee Ageu Magnusson Chesnokov Braga Mato Subs; Gordon; Steinwender; Kent; Kabore; Kabangu; Kryzeridis; Kerjota; Leonard. 12 players would certainly help our chances
Gulf Jambo Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Think it might be 433, drop Kabore and use pace & running up top. Schwolow Altena Halkett Findlay Milne McEntee Leonard Beni Chesnokov Braga Kyziridis None of the CM's are attacking, but balances if we play Milne & Altena. Would like to play Magnusson. But big week for him potentially so may not be ready to start. And not sure if Ageu is fit to start, but could be a wildcard
casper Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Think we need to go all out for the win. That would all but put them all out of the title race. They'd need 3 more wins than us with 11 games to go. I'm confident we'll beat them.

They'd need 3 more wins than us with 11 games to go. I'm confident we'll beat them. See I'm very much in the category of "just come away with a draw". That will then leave them having to beat Celtic in a couple weeks otherwise it's done for them. If they do beat Celtic, that helps us pull away from them. If we go for it and lose then we're potentially level on points with Celtic, assuming they win their games.

Magnusson just scored the winner He's on 4 goals. We're seeing a bit more progressive passing from Leonard. I don't think that's necessarily the case

Sorry mate, if we go through playing for a draw it will start to look like some of those woeful Hampden displays against Sevco in recent years, we will lose, I'm not suggesting we go gung ho either that will play right into Danny Rohl's normal game plan, he wants us to go for them, they can then just pick us off, nope this is defo like a game of chess, I would like to see us play in a similar style to when we played Celtic under Nancy, that worked perfectly.

Yeah I get that but this side under McInnes is vastly different to the sides under Neilson, Naismith etc. We carry way more of a threat to hit them on the break and at set pieces too. All out attack Vs Rangers is a disaster waiting to happen I feel. I expect us to be compact, very combative, and to go long a lot. Sticking Magnusson on Raskin (or whoever plays as their deep CM) is also likely given that's what we did to Nancy's Celtic and it worked amazingly well. Although to be fair anyone could play any style against Nancy's Celtic, they were absolutely rotten

SMJ_1874 Posted February 13 Posted February 13 We are not losing this game. Motherwell played them off the park by running rings around them with their passing and movement. Magnusson, McEntee and leonard should by our midfielders. It’s whether Del decides to go 442 or 433 and you may see Kyzi play as a wing back with Braga and Kabore upfront. The back 4 pick themselves with Altena and Milne as full backs. The wheels on the bus go round and round and are not falling off any time soon. #believe🇱🇻

I think Leonard will do fine as cover for a DM but I'm not seeing anything else from him.

Unfortunately they've found a habit of winning whilst being guff. But so have we. Really is anyones game, don't think we need to be worried by them necessarily but it's probably the most anxious I've been for a game. The game will swing on a big incident I think - a red card, pen or moment of magic. A win for us here and I may start properly dreaming.
Hearts1975 Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Rangers have to win this game. They cannot afford to lose. That's how we will set up I feel. We will keep it tight and compact and pick them off in the break with our pace up front. I'm confident, really confident. We are a better team than them. We are playing with confidence regardless of being key men down But the biggest thing ... Mentality. Our mentality is completely different from days of old. The energy in the team. The belief. He has made us hard to beat Aye the orcs will come at us because it's their cup final. All about how we handle the game but I think and I believe we are ready for it
Horatio Caine Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Keeping Raskin quiet will help. However I'm sure Del knows enough about how they'll play to work out how we should go about our business.
Dick Dastardly Posted February 13 Posted February 13 8 hours ago, Pasquale said: Because he's slow as xxxx. However for this game where Rangers are going to throw balls into the box it might suit him. He's up there for poty. He strolls back into the side.
John Findlay Posted February 13 Posted February 13 I can't see us winning through there this time. I would be happy with a draw, but alas I think we will lose this one.

" Two poor game" , very few played well against Hibs, he plays against Rangers.

Nobody is playing for a draw. Nobody. It won't happen, so stop worrying about it. But we can set up with a more defensive or physical strategy. That still doesn't mean we are playing for a draw. That would be common sense. And saying "I'd take a draw" or "a draw would be a good result" isn't asking us to set up for one. It's accepting the reality that we are away to our nearest rivals, to a place we have had very very few wins over recent years, against a team who have generally been on decent form and also recognising the situation in the league table where it is far more important for Rangers for them to get the win. A draw is a decent result for us, it's not good enough for them in their current position. You're about the 5th person in this thread to say something about playing for a draw. Nobody is asking for that and it isn't going to happen. The manager won't allow it and the mentality of the players won't either.
johnking123 Posted February 13 Posted February 13 (edited) Do think it is time to release Ageu. Give him 60 minutes. Can't keep mollycoddling him. Looks like he can hold ball up high in midfield. Could be important. Edited February 13 by johnking123

I don't think that's necessarily the case Like what I've seen of Leonard so far. He's happy to mix it in the job of regaining possession and he's better than Cammy in the "quarter back" stuff. His dead ball play hasn't been great though, that needs to improve, but he did OK overall against Hibs.

JimmyCant Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Not saying this is a title decider (it’s clearly not that) but there will be an absolute tsunami of belief from all quarters if we win through there. We’ll be strong favourites to win the league and that’s a whole different layer of pressure
indianajones Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Need to have two wingers, two forwards and a midfield with an attacking threat. Rangers are weakest at the back. We should really run over them.

Second to the Old Firm is nowhere, third or fourth (behind Motherwell) is like us being in the bottom six fighting to avoid the play off spot. Edited February 13 by EIEIO Spelling

The extra pressure is on those chasing us. Very little extra pressure you can put on a team who can afford 2 defeats and still be top. They keep going as they are, they win the league (and it might not even be close)

I hope I am wrong and he gets stuck in but he has form for reacting and not being proactive.

The Treasurer Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Saw an interview with Taverneir where he said something along the lines of "we must win by whatever means it takes" Could be interpreted in a few different ways
PTBCAL Posted February 13 Posted February 13 8 minutes ago, MattyK82 said: How come? Personally I think we have been poor the last 2 games. Too many players off it and attacking wise we look short. Would be delighted with a point

Yup - Leonard has been good until the last two games and I think he should be benched. Beni and McEntee as defensive midfielders with Ageu pushed further forward. It's time for the lad to be trusted with a start. Mags to come on later if we need to add a bit of energy.
Gorgieshed Posted February 13 Posted February 13 I'd be starting Ageu on Saturday in the 10 role, the unknown X factor that they wouldn't expect. Play Braga as the no. 9 dropping Kabore. Altena RB or RM with McEntee on the Right side too. With Chesnokov dropping to the bench. Obviously Halks for Kent. The rest, the same team v Hibs.
