Apart from what we know, Kone looks like the absolute business, Burrell has supersonic pace etc. How good is Harvey Vale??? I feel he could be a real lynchpin in this side and he seems to link up well with Madsen. Very impressed with his style and vision which has possible shades of Faurlin in there. Really impressive. Much better bodies on the line defending as well. Nardi is by far the best keeper we have as well.
I think one of the real eye openers from yesterday is that if you leave Burrell up the pitch for corners against us and the ball gets punting 50 yards up the field he is going to get to it every time, even if he has to make up a 20 yard start.
I think he could be big for us. We've been needing a left footed playmaker for ages and he could be it. Has a sort of effortless style about the way he plays.
Good lad. Excellent watch. Love that he doesn't have a clue who Ryan Reynolds is (Who Rrrrr ya?). Love his shut eye groan when they pull one back and his amazement as Burrell breaks the sound barrier to score the third. And Mbengue leading the celebrations afterwards with Tyler's camera. Days like this it is great to support this club!
Looking at that third goal his starting position is a good 15-20 metres behind the right back and he overtakes him like he's Bob Malcolm. He then pushes the ball ahead and is so fast onto it again that the goalkeeper realises too late how quickly he's arriving. Watch that goal again, his pace is astonishing.
It will be interesting next week because Stoke have two flying wingers and play a very similar style of football. Will be interesting to see how he sets up to counter their speed on the wing as well.
Two relatively comfortable wins for us and reducing the goal difference issue. Well done Rangers, well done Stephan and well done the fans. A fun trip home and the season is underway!
On the face of it, given the injuries it is very hard to argue with that line up. Aggressive and quick going forward which may be good. Will be interesting to see what Vale can do as a 10.
Dream come true stuff for Kieran. Seems like a happy place in general. I think he can be a Francis style number 8 given time. I'd really like to see him, Saito (10) and Varane (6) as the midfield backbone over time.
No team news which is a shame but it isn't Stephan's fault. He seems energised. I like that he is starting to get the fans here and the atmosphere. That will make a whole lot easier for him. Very tough game but they have to come out on the front foot. I watched England the other night and thought, we have the wide players to do some damage against a back 3 at Wrexham.
