Rangers 2-1 Newcastle – Video highlights.
Posted on August 8th, 2010 | 66 Comments |
Here is your chance to have another look at all of the goals from the 2-1 defeat at the hands of Rangers yesterday afternoon.
As most readers will know, I wasn’t overly impressed with the performance yesterday, in particular with our apparent lack of cutting edge in the final third of the pitch.
On reflection though, perhaps I was a bit harsh on the lads. We did boss the game, but I still stand by my comment where I said that ball possesion on it’s own doesn’t win games. For that we need goals, and quite frankly we didn’t look we have the ability to score or create enough goals throughout the season yesterday.
It came to light yesterday that Eidur Gudjohnsen could be in line for a move to Rangers on loan, but the stumbling block is the £40,000 a week wages. I think he could do a job for Newcastle for a season and would beef up our attacking options, just a thought mind.
Anyway, the countdown to our first match of the season continues, and at least yesterday showed up some areas where we are still a bit light on quality. I maintain that our starting eleven has enough about them to stop up, but I worry about what will happen if/when injuries and suspension kick in, which they inevitably will.
8 days to go!
Still scratching my head wondering how the hell we got beat, the score line was harsh to say the least, their first goal was the only time they got forward in the whole of the first half.
Was pleased to see Barton stand up to the intimidation and thought he and Guthrie were great together, winger needed to be sharper and none of the forwards did anything.
Still, Rangers fans will think they have won the world cup or similar but they are always up for the game and it was good to see Boughera dump Shola on his arse to wake him up.
