Good points, 4-1, great 3 points. Rogic looking more like his old self, Laxalt again impressive. Bad stuff, lost loads of cross balls. Ajer and Bitton don't attack the ball, caught under it flat footed. Frimong is never a RB. Motherwell are at best average and could have scored 3. A small step forward so I'll take it. Next Europa games must play fringe players like Soro, Turnbull etc nowt to play for anyway.

Can not defend high balls shocking its needs sorted Duffy who.

Bitton is never a centre half. Agree Frimpong needs to be played on the wing with Elhamed behind him.

At times Bitton looks like the best CB at the club.
His positional sense and composure is very good.
Gallagher would beat most defenders in an aerial duel.

Buzz, Bitton is terrible in the air. He lost plenty more aerial challenges than at the goal yesterday . I go back to Bayern Munich in the champions league and was always disappointed with the way he jumped for their second goal after we had played well to get level. Saying that I like him as a player but I think we’re seeing his weak side as a CH. ✌ðŸ».

I would not be surprised if we tried to get Forster back again in January along with a marquee CB signing. Reason I say marquee, is Lawwell is that vain he won't risk the wrath of supporters if we fail to achieve 10iar.
I can't understand why managers are not playing through middle when facing sevco. Their tactics rely heavily on taverner and barisic. Its their major flaw in their tactics and they cannot operate when you keep the game narrow to middle.

Oh no he's back! Our favourite troll c of ibrox 🤣.

Both full backs allow way to many crosses into our box which highlights our fragilities. El Hamed much better option than frimpong for me.
Laxalt im still undecided on, decent player but being criminally over hyped by some at the moment for what he's done so far.

There are a few defensive issues that have bugged us since the opening day with aerial weakness plus weak goalkeeping has cost us. NL bringing Duffy in was obviously meant to alleviate some of the problems, but I agree with folk that he has found the pace and the lack of time on the ball difficult to handle, but other centre halves had a very torrid time at the start; maybe he comes good?
Unfortunately in my honest opinion I don't think we have a good enough goalkeeper at the club, capable of 'big saves' or inspiring confidence in defenders especially when they need reassurance.
Too many crosses are not being blocked or cleared decisively and not enough shots are being saved - sounds simple enough?
Two seasons ago we conceded 20 goals all-in and last season it was 19 after the league was won on 30 games. So far after only 12 games we have already conceded 11 times.
Jullien has his critics but there's no denying his partnership with Ajer was good enough last season and should be again.
As soon as a back four of EL Hamed Jullien Ajer and Laxalt can be fielded after the International Interruption, we may see progress?

That Barasic can whip in a cross to be fair. Defensively pish as is the other full back. Benfica just played the ball over his head the other night and should've been 3 up before the sending off.

Let c of Ibrox have his fun. He who laughs last etc. Serial losers and bottlers will oblige again, you'll see.
