Liam Scales

Think about 20 minutes into the game the plan was to get Scales to try and push him towards their box and for him to commit to nipping in and getting the pass to him in their half.


It worked to an extent. Also * us to an extent. Even if what I think changing tactically to defend that way is right, it’s clearly not to the extent of abandoning everything else except that.

So tactics or not, was still poor for the third.

 

Rangers 3-0 and poor tonight, what’s the other ones not coping against the better teams? Dortmund I’ll add but that was everyone really, him at his best would have done * all to that game.

Guy has the most MotM awards in the CL ever for us, several stand out games against the Huns. And they two examples are probably the only ‘better’ teams we give that label to. Even this season, one of the very best teams we played Atalanta he was outstanding, Hun cup final we brought him on at half time and it changed the game completely.

What other calamity performances against the better teams can we point towards?

 

On the face of it a reasonable ask. But where.would we find a CL level centre half happy to sit predominantly on the bench? We won't. Scales is a decent back up who can be a solid option although yes at an elite level against clubs spending tens of millions on strikers he is out of his depth.

 

petition for him to get rid of that stupid haircut and get the short hair back.

 

We’re not going to find a player better than him that’s happy to be back up, he’s had some brilliant performances for us in Europe as well but Villa were just too quick and powerful.
