Rabbi Matondo scores for Rangers against West Ham tonight
Rangers beat West Ham 3-1 tonight and Rabbi Matondo scored the third goal .
Tom Lawrence scored the opener.
They were both signings I was a bit dubious about , its only a friendly and only West Ham but good start for both .
I am sure we will all be wishing them well at Rangers :hehe::hehe::hehe::hehe:

nice finish too!
and he provided the assist for the time Lawrence goal

Re: Rabbi Matondo scores for Rangers against West Ham tonight
He gets around a bit. Looking at his record he has scored 12 career goals, and zero for Wales (including the age groups). This could possibly be his last chance to make an impression?

I don't think so, he's still only 21 and has blistering pace that will get the attention of many a coach.
He's had a couple of moves that haven't worked out, but one was to a Schalke team that were in absolute freefall and another was to a pretty abject Stoke team to.
Did well in Belgium last time around.

How did I miss that Tom Lawrence went there?

He does have blistering pace , if last night was anything to go by he may be able to play football at a blistering pace....

It will be if you support either Rangers or Celtic .
Scottish football is the same as all football these days .
The biggest budget wins .(Unless you are playing West Ham )
Perhaps Arbroath in the championship could kick that theory.

Their rise has been phenomenal. Don't think I have been to their ground but that part of the east coast is very quiet.

Especially as the day before he was pictured with all the Celtic fans holding up a scarf, they thought it was a done deal. :hehe:

Re: Rabbi Matondo scores for Rangers against West Ham tonight
I’ve always thought Matondo has all the tools to be a good footballer if his decision making should improve.
Never really rated Lawrence but he had a decent couple of seasons for derby over the last few years.

Re: Rabbi Matondo scores for Rangers against West Ham tonight
They are looking pretty good to be fair. I can see them going a long way in the Champions league this season.

A poor first half, I'd be surprised if we see him after the break.

Re: Rabbi Matondo scores for Rangers against West Ham tonight
Didn't watch last night's game so can't comment on it, but when I used to watch him play as a fourteen and fifteen year old for the Academy, it was not uncommon to see him run fifty or sixty yards in possession and still be too quick for the opposition. Often when I see him play as a man, it seems he feels he's still that kid who loved dribbling with the ball - I don't think his "game intelligence" is the best.

Re: Rabbi Matondo scores for Rangers against West Ham tonight
It's easy to score in Glasgow.
-
Re: Rabbi Matondo scores for Rangers against West Ham tonight
tough draw for them to be fair, they wouldn't have been favourites for that match
-
Re: Rabbi Matondo scores for Rangers against West Ham tonight
When your game is pretty much all about pace and dribbling, you're never going to be effective against teams who play a low block. Especially when your team are slowing down posession and not looking to make quick transitions, as Rangers were doing last night.
Dan James had the exact same problem at United when teams would just sit deep.
Like James, he'll need to add more to his all round game or teams will find it easy to nullify him.

That's what makes players like Johnson and Brooks stand out, they have added intelligence to their game. Can we include Wilson too? The sign of a good player is making something happen when nothing is happening.

Rangers had one of those days last night.
Hopefully they will be a bit more positive at Ibrox.

Re: Rabbi Matondo scores for Rangers against West Ham tonight
Tom Lawrence looking assured , making space where there is none . Game is super tight Belgians have 11 men behind the ball , but quick on the break .
Might be an opportunity for Matondo and his pace when the Belgians tire and the game opens up .They had had to chase the game most of the half .
Rangers pulled one back just before half time … one more and we will see what the opposition is really made of.

Re: Rabbi Matondo scores for Rangers against West Ham tonight
2-2 Rangers pushing on . Tom Lawrence mom , phenomenal performance , up front and in defence ..Matondo just been introduced

Re: Rabbi Matondo scores for Rangers against West Ham tonight
3-2 rangers Lawrence has just been awesome .. matondo been causing havoc as the game opens up .
