Tyler Adams all games PBP thread

Halftime. No shots on target, big possession advantage for RBL. Lack of ideas / lots of Rangers bodies back on defense are preventing RBL from being more dangerous.

 

Got to get the Rangers defenders off that deep line Need some shots from the midfielders. Take a shot Adams.

 

Adams shot block of a Tavennier half volley, out for a corner. Rangers more chances early second half than the whole first half.

 

This is the best I've seen Tyler play in the last 5-10 times I've watched him (not for a few months). He's ubiquitous. Got some of the legs back. And he's making the sensible decision, promptly.

Unfortunately, RBL have nothing to show for it, except a 0 on the scoreboard in the other direction, in part thanks to Tyler thwarting counters. Eventually they may decide they need more offense at home and switch him out anyway.

 

Adams steal leads to a rare shot on goal by Laimer, but the shot is incredibly weak by youth soccer standards.

 

Adams burns Kamara on the dribble, loses his shorts arguably getting fouled, gets up, is arguably fouled again by Goldson, but no calls.

 

Adams part of 15 seconds of excellent short space passing. It works too well, and RBL decide to pull it back out and recirculate.

 

How was that not a foul and a yellow since it was from behind and stopped a counter? That was bizarre.

It stifled a great sequence for him where he transitioned defense to offense with a slick first touch & then drove half the field. Should have been rewarded.

 

Nnunku missed the probable game-winner, when he was slipped in on goal, didn't take the initial shot, and when he rounded the keeper, skied it. Major blunder. Should be at least 1-0.

 

Nkunku triumphantly dribbles around the keeper, and then shoots high and wide of an open goal.

Forsberg and Silva on, but Adams stays in.

 

Wow - Sands coming on in the 83rd! Arfield and Sands on for Aribo and Jack. Sands should be in the midfield, then.

 

Rangers appear to have shifted to a 5-4-1, with Sands the RCM.

 

Adams shot, keeper save, corner, Angelino goal. 1-0.

 

Adams at the top of the box, cuts it onto his left, was headed perhaps for the crossbar, but McGregor tips it over for a corner.

AND ANGELINO makes a great shot off of that corner, so let's give Adams slight credit and RBL a 1-0 lead. 25 yard volley like you dream about hitting by Angelino.

 

Angelino goal may have stolen a shot a MOTM for Adams, who has been one of the top players either way this match. And he clearly has his 90 minute legs - looks as fresh as anyone still.

 

Yep, top game for Ty who has done his job in the center and helped the attack.

 

Adams good job being first to a loose ball, and feeding Poulsen into the corner, who draws a yellow on Tavernier.

 

Adams comes up big on a day where they sort of needed him to go the distance with Kampl suspended. Sands - short minutes but not much of note.

 

And the Valkyrie sings. Small lead, you'd have expected RB to get more at home.

It's decided in Glasgow.

 

Why? It‘s not like Rangers fell backwards into this semi final round.
They have been disciplined, energetic and opportunistic the whole tourney.
Very hard to play against. In knockout tournaments a team like this, that gets on a roll, is always a hard out.
Yup, RB could easily have had another as they had some real nice chances, but RB have had a much harder time of it also.
Clawing back in to Top 4, German Cup Final and now this. Not easy.
That fixture that was forfeited agains the Russian team probably played a huge part in them being able to do all of this.

 

Adams subs on in the 73rd, trailing Bielefeld 1-0 (goal in the 70th). Bello on the bench.

 

Adams steal and starts the break like a point guard, finding Nkunku with some options, but nothing happens.

 

Orban 93rd minute header to equalize, heading home a free kick! Huge.

 

Full time - and they (barely) clinch a Champions League spot.

 

Looks like Adams had won some confidence of the new coach. Playing most games now. He will always be limited based on his lack of offensive capabilities but I’m happy for him to stay with the RBL another year.
