steelboy 824 Report post Posted July 22 Polworth playing like he's half asleep. No positives from that 45. Very much like our January/February form. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfc 162 Report post Posted July 22 Same old script from us at Ibrox,defensively we have been all over the place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSR 0 Report post Posted July 22 Our defending has been poor schoolboy level with no-one tracking their men. Normally I'm a fan of polworth but he looks like he's towing a caravan in the first half. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So no change to the entirety of last season with Polworth? Yes the guy can play some nice passes but 90% of the time he’s worse than a man short Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

couttsy 62 Report post Posted July 22 Not one for getting too carried away in pre season friendlies but good god that was horrific.... It’s 3 going on 6/7.... I tanking will do nothing for confidence heading into a new season. Far too open tactically, 2 full backs honking. Polworth and Campbell horrific.

wunderwell 36 Report post Posted July 22 Getting pumped is a wake up call to where we need to be pre-europe and in the league. Better than beating annan. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not saying for a second that we wouldn't lose in friendlies against anyone else, but I also don't have to suffer a week of laughing emojis, gifs and memes on my phone for a week after we lose to anyone else. I'd be going out of my way to create a feel-good factor...or at least avoid a feel-shite factor, just a bit counter-productive if we're hoping for a strong start I think, that's all. This is why they are better played behind closed doors. It's a training exercise that fans take far too seriously. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake Hastie nutmegging the rangers defender and creating our best chance was a positive. Probably the only one from an attacking perspective. Defensively look shaky. Agree on Polworth.

purestate 18 Report post Posted July 22 Definitely looks like Rangers are ahead in match preparation but also have a number of players that could easily be playing at mid to lower English Championship level so they should be beating us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They beat Porto, Feyenoord and Braga so they are obviously decent but the issue is how little we have shown. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not dismissing it, I’m suggesting that 90% of time when the game is going on and we don’t have the ball and he’s not making assists, he doesn’t contribute nearly enough Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was continually found wanting against better teams and usually went into hiding when we were on the back foot. He's similar to Forbes and Vigurs for me in that he costs you at least much as he contributes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
