DP FC 400 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 A six out of ten for me, that's not good enough against Cowdenbeath. So sadly This may be his last year.One trick pony with no pace, any decent defender has him sussed, he has to cut in.His lack of pace leaves Wallace exposed when overlapping, as Temps can't get back to cover.To be fair, he has produced some nice goals when cutting in and shooting, just not often enough at this level.

BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Thought he was great, and it was great to see him finally get a start and have time to influence the game, he's severly lacking game time but what I saw was some fantastic wing play at times, even at his worst, when things aren't dropping for him, or the full back is tight on him playing well, Temps will always try things, they might not come off but quite frankly, who cares, plenty did come off for him yesterday, and you can see Wallace links well with a wide man like Temps, or Walsh tbf. Fantastic to see, within the first 15 minutes they had two bookings for fouls on Temps did they not? The wee man draws players, creates space, makes things happen, who cares if he's inconsistent, when he consistently stretches teams and creates space for others. It takes courage to get on the ball and try these things, I applaud him for it and I'm delighted for the wee man, which, we've quite frankly fucked over for the last three years, Smith, Aird, Perlata and to an extent Macleod were all ahead of him in the pecking order when none of them should have been near those positions, Macleod played well from left but should have played centrally IMO.

Plus he's an attacking winger, the last thing we want is Temps making challenges on our own box, he needs to enjoy his football to perform. Albeit, give him a 6/10 if you want, but he was the bravest on the ball yesterday, bar Moshni, sometimes it doesn't come off for them, but when you take the ball in, drive at teams, want to play the ball in dangerous ares and commit teams, it won't always come off, and quite frankly, who cares, that's what we as fans want to see and that's what Mckay did in the third, Walsh does, Temps does and Moshni does from deep to an extent, all try to get at teams and make things happen. Don't mark players down for trying things Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassaaaa 11,406 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Unbelievable the amount of folk who say he played well , the guy is constantly garbage and that was against the mighty Cowdenbeath .Some on here are desperately hoping things will change for this guy, it won't .

That Hazard, when it doesn't come off for him he's a useless, inconsistent cunt, Ribery, Robben, Ronaldo, Bale, useless cunts, inconsistent to fuck the lot of them. Show me a winger, anywhere in the world, that puts in 10/10 performances every week, in fact, show me any player in the world, anywhere, who is consistent and I'll show you a bang average player in all liklihood. Really, just enjoy watching him mate, never mind when he plays a slack ball, tries to skin too many players, he's making things happen and when he's on his game, he's more than capable of changing games.

A bad year, how many gams did he start and how many minutes did he get? There may be better wingers out there, but on his day he's a match for all of them.

He's never been played the way he should since the 3rd, Saturday was hopefully the start of a proper run. He isn't crap, he may have bad games, but even in those bad games, he contributes in more ways than a couple of slack passes or mistakes. Teams consistently double up on him, allowing Wallace the freedom to overlap. His willingness to get on the ball has been lacking from a rangers midield for a while, he wants to dictae play and I'd rather have a player showing and trying than one hiding and not trying to get at teams. You may not think he's the best option, I do, thats were we agree to disagree, but to say he's crap or not worth the money is insulting to him IMO, especially when he's out of game time, and as much as I despise Ally the gaffer, he's picked up two cracking wingers in his time with Aluko and Templeton. Does soemone losing the abll or getting caught in possession in the final third really annoy you that nuch that you'd rather a player who didn't try to break teams down? Because thats the alternative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Saw a different game clearly. He was poor. Decent passes to him ran out of play. He continually took wrong option and ran into players rather than space. Some good balls into box but some howlers too. Dont think he gave up or shied away from looking for ball. Just think it really didn't happen for him.Imo he was our worst performer out of our starting 11 after Moshni.Wit? He was the best player on the pitch for most of the game, and I've been the guys biggest critic the last three years! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOAT 30,449 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Can't believe the amount of people having a go at him on this, he's been a terrible signing overall, but on saturday he got the ball and took players on, did it work for him all the time? No he got tackled a few times, won a few fouls but most of the time he was our most dangerous player in attack along with wallace and vuckic when he came on. Some people letting their opinions of him the last three years, rather than what he did on Saturday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GioVB 8 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I thought he played well on Saturday - a wee bit rusty, but understandable given he's not played much. I think there's a decent player there if he gets game time - my only criticism of him on Saturday was he always cuts inside, and a few times he did it the space was out wide and it would have been better to go down the line, but other than that I thought he did well.

gbm1989 41 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Very poor. Struggled to make 5 yard passes. You can it's good to have someone take on defence but it does help if he gets past them once or twice, also has a tendency to just keep his head down probably why he couldn't pass it. Crossing was non-existent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 He was okay. He blew hot and cold. If you've ever watched him play against a fullback that isn't Steven Whittaker, he played like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger9650 106 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I wonder if his confidence is a bit brittle? Didn't seem quite the same after he'd failed to take two good balls in quick succession in the first half down the left wing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theiconicman 2,991 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 He definitely got bums off seats. Took players on and drew a lot of fouls. Thought his final product could have been a little better though.Still think he deserves to start against Hearts as he gives us something a little bit different. That's his problem, he doesn't have a final product. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mark players down for trying things Good to see a calm reasoned argument, however I'll stand by both my score and rationale. I've had a birds eye view of his performance over the years from my perch 13 rows back,and by and large he has been a let down IMO.The major giveaway was the fact that we were playing, what I consider to be the worst team in the league, and he should have been ripping them a new one if he is to be a premier player. I would keep him a sub when trying to unlock tight defences, as he does have good close control.At the end of the day it's all about opinions, and when the team is getting picked mines doesn't matter.
