A few weeks ago I was talking about a cyclothymic character´s performance of Rangers. To understand, at least a little, the win against Inverness necessarily has to go back to that word, but side stepping the emotional swings of the game. At one point the second half, we bombed to Inverness, we thought the goal would come after the blast, but did not, and, immediately afterwards, we lost in irrelevance, we fell in performance gaps and we yielded to the impulses of the Caley Jags, more as a result of Andrew Shinnie action. Another former player of our club that we score a goal this season.
Rangers do not spend your best time in the construction of the game, possession and distribution of the ball. Lack of coordination to advance, something unfortunately common in the cycle. But we must qualify this with the brightness, efficiency to define the matches, Jelavic before, now Lafferty. It was really a second half of tension, some degree of disappointment, the goal against, the disallowed goal, lack of concentration on defense (here we note the importance that has won Goian in the sector. Indispensable I would say). Everything was so tense that when we scored the second goal, it was liberating…at least for me. It was so liberating that I thought the goal was Jelavic, and screamed with such passion that, seeing there play of the goal, I knew it was Kyle.
Sasa Papac began as a central midfielder in the same position as Bartley in the previous game. Though not its usual position, he learned to solve some of the challenges in this position, distributed, but fell into one of The Rangers and frequent deficits, the fight for the ball and mark rivals in the area. In the second half, with McCulloch´s entry for Edu, Papac left the position, as the containment of our team had many cracks. Davis went to the center where some connections began with the attack.
With the start of the second half took a few strokes, Gregg Wylde went on to plat on right in search of an alternative on that side because the left was well referenced by Wallace and Papac. I appreciate Gregg has two things that the modern game need speed and good technique, but I think he needs to make the break. Stop the ball and think, look around. When he plays on the left takes the ball and always runs to the bottom to pull the center. It is desirable that sometimes he feints and returns the ball back or midfield to a partner. I´m not saying, he quit throwing centers, most of which he pulls are virtuous, magic, but to compensate, generating alternatives. On the right side, against Inverness, Wylde always tried to gain speed to rival, but almost always lost the ball.
It would have to rethink a few things: Whittaker has brought in attack by the right, with some inaccuracies, but their performances have been very poor defense. Whitta has trouble marking opponents, and over, with its ups at the side, we sacrifice to Steven Davis, who has to cover, to relieve his constant overtaking. In recent posts, you have read on this crucial point. If you remember some of the attacks of Inverness, both as centers frontages in the area, most crossed from left to right. Not to mention the possibilities Gregory Tade has the right flank and ended in a goal from Shinnie. That should not happen, we have to cancel these possibilities. Or at least reduce. Or include another player in the lateral position or putting a defender and Whittaker who plays midfield on the right without many defensive duties. But we must repair the space left open to attack rivals.
There is a battle that, in my opinion, we could not win in most of the season. Winning the midfield, put our flag there, the fight for the position of the ball and when they attack us fight for recovery. We keep hoping that the opponent has an error, we look forward and not go out unbelievers to take the ball, scrape –like call it around here-, or at least preclude their progress, put difficulties. Nor do we have players with these characteristics. Today, I watched Sergio Busquets, Barcelone is the kind of player that does not appear at the top of the newspapers, he does the work for the Barcelone gear work. The market should be an instance in January to sign a ball retriever. Not enough to the effort made Edu, albeit vague with the passes.
And if all this we add that Davis suffered a blackout power that leaves our team without creation, the essential light to hit, to deepen. And at same time, we need leadership in tumultuous times. Although, I think I´m falling into a trap by claiming this. The team should not depend solely on the actions of Northern Ireland, we must ask resources. For example, entering Bedoya had its ups and downs. The American finished not convinces me. Although the ball did not come in a few occasions he fell for her. I believe that the option to join in the attack on Jelavic, with a link to the midfield was Bendiksen, who in the last two matches showed consistency.
