Geoff Kilpatrick Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 MacDonald - 7 - Didn't actually have that much to do in terms of difficult saves. No chance with either goal. Neilson - 5 - Improved after awful first half. Wallace - 6 - OK Zaliukas - 8 - MoM. Only defender we had in the first half and dominated their attack Karipidis - 6 - Struggled in the first half, but made up for it with the goal Palazuelos - 7 - Awful first half, brilliant second half capped off with a cracking finish Stewart - 6 - OK in patches Aguiar - 6 - As Stewart Nade - 4 - Another poor game Obua - 6.5 - Only because he doesn't deserve a 7 after selling that first goal but like Palazuelos he improved dramatically in the second half Cesnauskis - 2 - Wasn't interested Subs: Elliot - 8 - What a 45 minutes! Deserved a fairytale winner Tullberg - 3 - Lucky to stay on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del1812 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 McDonald 7 - Made a couple of comfortable saves and had little chance with either goal. Neilson 6 - Much better in the second half but it was the same story with most of his distrubution. Wallace 7 - Didn't put a foot wrong in defence or attack but more quiet than we've been used to seeing him of late. Zaliukas 10 - Outstanding. Won everything in the air. Won vital tackles. Never seemed to give the ball away and looked very comfortable when going forward in the second half. Karipidis 7 - Struggled to deal with Lafferty early on but grew into his usual composed self as the game wore on. Palazuelos 8 - Like the rest of the midfield he had a very poor first half when he seemed incapable of keeping possession. Improved so much after the restart and Rangers couldn't seem to deal with him cutting in off the left. Great finish for the equaliser. Stewart 6 - Second half was much better but his passing is far too erractic. Obua 6 - The worst player on the park in the first half but like the rest of the midfield he improved strongly and delivered a great cross for the equaliser. Cesnauskis 4 - Anonymous for the most part and when he did get the ball nothing seemed to come off. Deservedly hooked. Aguiar 6 - Seemed unwilling in the first half to get forward and support Nade and as the half neared you forgot he was playing. Looked his old self after being pushed back into the middle of the park. Nade 5 - No support in the first half and tired a bit in the second as he put in a hard working but unproductive shift. Subs Elliot 8 - Great movement and really brought something to the team. The ball stuck in the Rangers half after his introduction and could have gotten on the scoresheet but McGregor denied his two stunning solo efforts. Lovely nod down for the equaliser. Tullberg 6 - Rusty as expected but looks to have a great leap on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 MacDonald - 6 - No chance for the goals, plucked a few crosses out the air but punched a few aswell. Neilson - 6 - Bit dodgy here and there, and could have had 3 yellows, but his distribution was pretty decent. Wallace - 6 - Quiet game for Lee today. Zaliukas - 7 - Solid performance, won a lot of balls in the air, and proved he cared by giving Obua a right hard time after their opener. Karipidis - 6 - Decent aswell, not quite up to it in the first half but got us a vital goal with a pretty brave header. Palazuelos - 7 - Used the ball reasonably well but was pretty quiet, phenomenal finish for the goal, Scotlands No 2 had no chance. Stewart - 5 - Ran about a lot, dived in a lot, gave away possession too often. Aguiar - 7 - Provided an outlet in the first half, quieter in the second but used the ball well. Nade - 4 - Totally anonymous, I don't think he even ran at full speed once. Obua - 6 - Far too slack on the ball, even after he cost us the first goal, good cross for the second goal brings him up. Cesnauskis - 3 - Had maybe two touches? Subs: Elliot - 9 - Didn't really put a foot wrong all day, played a part in both the goals, looked our most likely goal threat and almost won it for us at the end. Tullberg - 5 - Didn't have much impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Doodle Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Macdonald 7 - Competent handling and looked confident despite lack of games.Sound kicking also a bonus. Robinho 7 - Stuck to his task well today against Beasley and showed some grit flying into tackles and upsetting the locals by escaping a booking. Wall E 7 - Only player to walk off at half time with pass marks and kept up his recent form in 2nd half. Zal 7 - Tried to stem the tide in 1st half when on the backfoot and won everything thrown into the box in 2nd half.Did the basics well today. Karipidis 7 - Scored the first goal today that got us back in the match.Broke up attacks well after initially struggling with Lafferty before his injury. Mika 7 - Toiled in 1st half but came onto a game after halftime harrassing ferguson and mendes into making mistakes.Took his goal brilliantly. Stewart 8 - Why cant this version of Stewart turn up every week.Showed great desire to get team back in the match snapping at players feet and keeping the ball well in midfield.Also kept his discipling well today. Bruno 7 - Like most the 1st half passed him by but got involved in 2nd half and seemed to enjoy a slightly deeper role in midfield than normal. Chesney 4 - Anonymous.Showed very little to suggest his loan should be extended past the summer and subbed at half time. Big Dave 6 - Had a mare of a 1st half - Responsible for both Rangers goals.Fought well to send in cross for 2nd goal and can be pleased with his 2nd half show. Nade 5 - Looking short of fitness and is clearly toiling in the lone frontman role.Looked happier when Elliot came on at half time. Subs Clum 7 - Had a hand in 2nd goal and could have scored two himself. Sicknote 5 - Gave his all but looked to have picked up another injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonraker Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 This seemed to have plummeted like a stone and I enjoy getting peoples views. How was Tullberg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del1812 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 This seemed to have plummeted like a stone and I enjoy getting peoples views. How was Tullberg? Looked rusty, as you would expect, and not on the same wave-length as his teammates, as you would expect. Despite having a slight build for a taller lad he appeared very good in the air as he won 2 or 3 headers in the twenty minutes he was on. His touch didn't look too bad either.
