Rangers 2-0 Kilmarnock. A few minutes in the second half

In the last days is a bit contradictory to talk about performance. Weighing firepower, starts sweeping the second half, the response capacity of the sea of doubts that arise at the start of matches, repeated failures of, or the ball to the opponent to advance in the field without opposition. Some times one falls into a commonplace carried away by the result and go into excessive triumphalism. I can not ignore the bland on the first half and many of those features that are usually evident when we transcend the borders of Scotland to play with lesser-known rivals.

But there are many ways to think positively in the future. If there is a common denominator in all these variables is that Magic Edu is becoming the owner of the midfield, tactically disciplined, running tirelessly, tight marker and this commitment to the team makes ir increasingly shows his technical skills. That can break loose and reach the rival area. But Friends, Edu can not mark only in the midfield. Need company that is clearly felt today.

With Ortiz, I have mixed feelings. I must admit that he does not meet my expectations. Before you arrive at the club, we just knew we had fallen to Almeria and little else. Against Kilmarnock, he played on the right side. On several occasions overflowed well and threw some accurate centers, bearing in mind that whenever Whittaker ended up giving the side the ball into Spanish with a striking insistence (¿Ally decision?), but lost the ball sometimes so naive. I think I made a remark here. Ortiz left the field a minute before the first goal and enters Wallace in place (thanks for back!!! In long term we are going to realize that it was not expensive purchase). It is interesting and quite innovative at one point running Wylde to the right side and Wallace on the left side. The game took a different pace, beyond the goal changed everithing radically.

Nikica Jelavic is a complete striker in the header area precisely what makes it dangerous for opponents. Although in this game, once he left the center of the area and went left side, went on to make the throw-up!! But the play of the first goal. A stop device of the ball ¿was prepared in practice? He was sight and opportunism. A gem.

After the affair Malmo, Steven Whittaker dropped to public scrutiny. Your participation in the team has been rising. It is always important, as resource points out, have a side capable of reaching the rival area by surprise. A clear example is Sasa Papac, who in the first half almost scored a goal. But back to Whittaker, surprised, was firm on the mark and contributed steadily to the right side.

Sorry to be repetitive, it is really dense repeat a point that does not change in the functioning of the team. In the first half, the Killie had the ball and their players were passing from one side to another without progressing in the field or little progress. Space but were not harmed. And The Rangers players watched, they approached the rival as a Kilmarnock player gave tha ball to a teanmate, our player back to his area, without even attempting to take the ball. At this point, it would have to change a key issue. The Rangers did not recover the ball or recovering a little, I remember some other plays of Edu and Lafferty, buy generally our team took the ball when the opponent failed to pass or on a force play.
