Pre match - Rangers - 8pm

[Shadey]

It’s 2-0

 

[Shay_K]

GET IN

 

[Shay_K]

Let's kill this game off

 

[Red rose]

Cracker that by Mo …happy days

 

[Bradley]

Great save that.

Would like another so we can get Ramsey on for a good 20-25 minutes.

 

[RedStar]

Time to get Diaz and Jota off

 

[Red rose]

Putting firmino and Fabinho on I believe

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Clean sheet would be nice, probably more important to get that, than a third goal.

 

[Mojo]

Why Milner?
Give some of the young ones a run instead

 

[keniget]

Why Milner?

He must have a clause in his contract or something.

 

[Red rose]

Think maybe because it’s his 300th game bit of a landmark perhaps

 

[Mojo]

He must have a clause in his contract or something.

That would be the only explanation.

Badger Tits would have benefitted by getting some minutes

So would Ramsey and Ibou

 

[Shadey]

Wow what a clearance tsimikas

 

[Red rose]

Wow Tsimi

 

[Shay_K]

Nice Tsimikas

 

[Red Bird]

What’s with Milner coming on again? Thought one of the sprigs would have been brought on.

 

[Red rose]

Trent liked the formation

 

[jan]

Hope Tsimikas keeps his place once Robertson comes back

 

[moron]

Can we forget about this game. Not used to celebrating a win, feels wrong this season let's focus on the beating we will get at Arsenal on Sunday.

No !

 

[Hansern]

Good performance and a step in the right direction. More of the same please.
Happy for Trent and Mo.

4-4-2

I'll be surprised if we use it vs. Arsenal but we looked much much better, aggressive pressing and winning the ball higher up the pitch and but for the GK we could have had 5 or 6.

 

[Woland]

Two set piece goals against a league one side. Cosmic.

 

[bluebell]

The question now is who will take the mantle of starting this Sundays Prematch thread with the Arses? @SummerOnions @Red rose @StevieM @Brizzle

Personally, I'll give it to @moron , his intervention might swing things around our way

Exactly - we could not even score against a team like them from open play. This is what people should be worried about.

Seriously dude - I don't want it and the rest of this forum don't want it... it would be an honour though but not this time. I have zero faith in this team despite todays result. If I was to start it - right it would be one of these:

1) Arsenal Away - Sunday 9th October - watch us take it up the Arse.
2) Arsenal Away - Sunday 9th October - dare you to watch us get fucked !!!!
3) Arsenal Away - Sunday 9th October - is VVD gonna take one big Ghaka up his arse ?

You know some thing like that anyway - and before anyone says anything - it has nothing to do with me wishing reverse Karma

That was my take. We looked better than any other match this season bar Bournemouth. But that's because we played the only other team other than Bournemouth that is clearly at least a league or two below us in quality.

 

[Bradley]

The defence not being a shambles was encouraging, maybe not a stern test but it's a start.

 

[Markeh]

I’m glad @Woland broke the ice there

meh, the team knew they were better than rangers and it feels like we played a side to dominate / demolish them but that didn’t really materialise at all.

 

[RedStar]

Hard to get over excited about beating Rangers at home. They aren't a good team and the gulf in class was very obvious. That said it was much better in terms of shape and creating opportunities.

We probably should have had 3 more goals, between Matip, Jota and Nunez who all had excellent chances. I've been very critical of Nunez but he did ok tonight. Ran his socks off and got into some great positions. He will get goals, simply because he's going to keep getting into position to score them but he passes up an awful lot of chances.
