The entire article is good - Modern Fitba do some really good work. https://www.modernfitba.com/blogs/2020/10/23/not-all-attacks-are-equal Some really interesting insights in it. Celtic creating almost as many xG from counter attacking as they do from building from the back is one that really stands out, must be a stark contrast to the Rodgers team. The insight about Hibs was very interesting too - not over committing in attack once you've built a lead seems to be very important. From our perspective, it just underlines much of what we know watching this side. It's a legitimately good Rangers team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 That Delli Ali poster on here has gone fully baws out for Rangers. You hate to see it but there were always signs he was staunch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Brees Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Beating our biggest local rivals at a stroll and not even giving them a corner then winning away against a highly-rated European club with a goal that will be talked abut for a while? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Thinking about Bassey and what he ends up looking like once he fully develops. I actually think his best position will end up being one that we don’t play atm - the LCB of a back three. If we ever wanted to play 3 at the back, a system like this would look pretty good I think: McGregor Goldson Helander Bassey Tavernier Davis Jack Barisic Roofe Morelos Kent If you wanted 3-5-2, you just swap Kent for Arfield and pull him back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be particularly against that but I think Bassey would need a bit of work as on each occasion I’ve seen him, while he has been relatively impressive, he has this tendency every so often to get caught under the ball and has no awareness of runs in behind him. He strikes me as someone that is going to get caught out a few times and concede goal-scoring opportunities and I wouldn’t be surprised if he gives away a few penalties in his time with us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His positioning needs a lot of work, but he’s played 4 games in his senior career. The mental side of things will come with matches, and for now he’s big and quick enough that he can overcome a lot of his errors just through his physical attributes. I love the 4-2-3-1 and the twin 10 formations, so I wouldn’t switch formation now anyway. But I think it’s interesting that we’ve brought in a player that gives us that option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say you two are a breath of fresh air on here compared to the other Rangers fans. Just a passing thought. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could game (and points) be in doubt for tomorrow? I hope not. I’d assume Rangers players would’ve been tested at some point yesterday or today. I think we would’ve heard by now if there were any covid cases. Fingers crossed anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's Livi so points are always in doubt when we play them but I can't see us, given our size of squad, being unable to have 13 players available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came on here and everyone insisted I was Magee....................whatever happened to him? I agree with Henrik by the way, it's good to know there are at least two decent h*ns out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 A useful 8 days for us results-wise and the league table looks pretty healthy. A bit predictable, though, with both us and them playing to form both domestically and in Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassey for me looks like a left sided central defender who is learning to be a left back. Looks a handy player though. Fucking unit too. Wonder who’d win a square go between him and Edmundson. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
