Generally, teams have consolidated resources, or innovations in the last minute. Many times people repeat formulas arises because no change something that had good results. Football is not a binary system is so complex that it would be simplistic to say that is played one way or another. Depending on when you choose the best option. Already in Ibrox, Whittaker was the entire second half essentially dumps attack, provided few defensive functions. At Fir Park, the overall schema change should be accompanied by a greater commitment by the pressure in midfield (Edu and Papac eventually) and quiet to distribute the ball. There were names: Aluko, Davis, Wallace. But when we find someone not free, we resolve the issue with long passes, essentially Perry (strictly speaking the truth, in the second half, he sought more passes on the floor). When these movements are not fruitful we lose control of the ball. Troubled at times a game against a team that play the ball is a mistake.
Whittaker definitely started as a midfield, concentrating the matching circuit for the sector in the early stages of the matche. He appeared by surprise. In developing the offensive game was also involved Davis, who left the defensive task of preceding match. Bocanegra in the absence of suspension and injury to McCabe, the staff formed a defense with three: Perry, Bartley and Goian.
A priori, the midfield wa fatter. The targets, in my view, contain the dynamics of Motherwell, a team playing the ball progresses. Even if this was the objective for the first time, we fail. We do not handle the middle, we lost the ball easily, and they were quick, precise taps. Product of the latter goal come from Motherwell, Humphrey, a sprinter, gave the ball to a teammate and ran in search of return, the ball bounced off Papac and unintentionally enabled to Humphrey. The right end ran to the bottom of the area and, before the departure of McGregor, ceded to Ojamaa. 1-0.
It seems to me that playing Papac performs better than the left in midfield, a place which is constrained to move in another way. On the flank, he defends well and is projected to attack. I think the questions in the midfield are all responsibilities of Papac. In the early stage, Motherwell took the lead, pressed us and they got several balls. Humphrey was hard to take. Agile, he won and speed exceeded Wallace. A real headache. Until Goian and patched appeared that mistake. The Romanian wall came to mark Humphrey, canceled it and not seen again the attack on the right.
After the local goal, The Rangers began to press, we are not paralyzed by early disadvantage. We force the defense, they tried not to think, we press. As a result, a defense rejected the ball. Whittaker was waiting outside the area, which took the ball and launched a guided missile. It is wonderful to see how the ball will take effect deceiver and ends resting on the side of the goal. GOL, no Golazo. 1-1.
The match could have taken a turn critical if the referee charged the penalty that the goalkeeper Randolph commits to Aluko. To make matters worse Iain Brines got a yellow card for Aluko. A blunder. On the play and the television replay clearly shows the action (bottom, I added a photo enlightening).
JIG is always willing to go the limit, to fight for the ball in the area or elsewhere. Although during the first half, the ball came soon to the area. Excluding penalty uncollected, the rest were all approaches from outside the area, including the goal. That says a lot.
In the second half forged a series of rotations that seemed to find surprises, some alternatives also in the attack. In the middle, Whittaker moved to the left, Davis followed by the right but with a slightly deeper. He joined Papac to look deep. The Rangers almost scored the second after millimeter center of Papac, David played before. Whittaker headed over the crossbar. There began siege at the exit of Motherwell and Aluko received faults.
The first intervention of McGregor, one of which then become the man of the match, began with a mistake in cutting Goian, which rejects head and enable Ojamaa attack, Bartley cannot hold and the attacker gave the ball to Lasley. This in front of Goal, McGregor launched a shot that sends a corner kick. We did not score well, do not adjust the mark and we press on defense. We leave a large space in the center, between defense and midfield. They continue to control the ball. Papac out, Lafferty in. A movement of critical parts.
JIG came more into contact with the ball and Aluko tried one of those plays typical of his fantastic repertoire. He took the ball, picked it up and as a ballet dancer, took turns with the ball and lifted it several more times. The defenders could not keep up dancing and were exhausted after the fantasist. After a foul stopped the score. Free kick. Davis, it was close. Since then we rushed us to as siege. Laffery, Aluko, all attempting to reach and score some goals.
If there is not a goalkeeper, where there? McGregor demonstrated throughout the entire season value. Its international status is undeniable. Its excellent saves. A savior!!! At Fir Park was no exception. After a series of moves, Higdon receives nearly point penalty, and McGregor avoids kick a goal. Catch of anthology. Impressive.
At the end of the game, we seek the sides to fill the center area. Andrew Little, who had joined a few minutes ago, replacing Edu, took a pass from Whittaker and threw the cross. Aluko hit the ball but Randolph prevented the goal and a defender cleared the ball to the side. The winning goal begins with the long side running Perry, the ball reaches the area asking for permission, until out of nowhere appears Lee McCulloch, 2-1. JIG is transformed into the Incredible Hulk.
