Rangers Destroyed

Post by Knight7 »

And yet they still won on penalties - Football can be a cruel game but Fiorentina took them apart time and time again - 28 shots and couldn't score - one of the most one sided wins I've ever seen

All credit to Rangers though - battled hard and kept their nerve - their support (and this is hard to say) was also brilliant!

that's the beauty of football, the game is about putting the ball into the goal and not always does the best team win.

Fiorentina were crap. they may have had a lot of shots but none of them really made the keeper work. Rangers could have easily had a goal or two in the second half.

Destroyed, c'mon Knight is that sour grapes. :wink:

How many really telling shots were on target from both sides.

Rangers were poor but for all the possession the Viola had they huffed and puffed and didn't really threaten.

They have by far the more accomplished players but there coach couldn't put a game plan together.

Remember that Rangers have played 18 games in Europe alone this year on top of league and cup games and tiredness is setting in.

Just for thought Rangers played the italians at there own game and won.

imagine the reaction if Fiorentina went to Glasgow and played catenaccio..

when the Italians play it its a disgrace, when British sides play it they are a team of heroes.

No doubt Rangers obviously deserved to progress cause they got the result but have a bit of double standards here

all those who call Italian football boring and defensive should now be blasting Rangers and Man United and British football

Well I watched the game live, and I must say Rangers were VERY average.
I'm sure if they played like they played against Celtic in the last Old firm game they would of beaten
Fiorintina 2or3 nil.
Still they got the result.

Now for Advocaat to seek revenge.

exactly

when italian teams do this, they get called boring, defensive and the word catenaccio is used even though they at least look for opportunities to score on a counter (like Man U did)

I got no probs with English teams or any team playing that way, just wondering where the anti-italian brigade has been lately

Man U were a bit lucky, if they gave a decent team 65% of the possesion away from home they would have probably lost the first leg.

My team lost 4-2 on aggregate in their only time in Europe, is that non defensive enough for you?

firstly I said except Arsenal who play good football and will win fuck all

secondly, I didnt say i had a problem with teams playing defensively, its smart and gets results

I just wanna hear all the people who usually bag Italian football for the same reason (even though they never watch it).

to not really create much with that much possesion puts them in the same catergory as Arsenal last season!

I presumed you had me confused. I admit you don't normally hear Millwall and european football in the same sentance.

I have always said I would rather my team play in a defensive minded boring 1-0 win than see them lose 5-4 in an exciting game.
