Guest Lloyd72 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 PEDRO Caixinha says he is looking to exploit Joe Garner’s aerial presence next season by focussing on the wide areas of the pitch. The Rangers boss thinks the striker can thrive if he is supplied properly and he believes the former Preston man has proven that in his last two games by heading in from pin point crosses. Garner has scored 10 goals this season with seven coming in the second half of the campaign and Caixinha wants to work to his strengths. The manager told RangersTV: “You only know the players when you work with them on a daily basis and you start knowing the patterns from the players who can give it to you and their strengths and weaknesses as well. “Joe can help any team because he is a goalscorer if the ball gets into the box. “If we are not attacking properly, and getting the ball into the box in different ways rather than from the wide areas then Joe will be there but he won’t receive the ball. “In the last two games the balls have arrived on the exact spot he likes to be and he likes to attack. He feels fantastic in that part of the pitch and he can score goals there. “If we have a team who can work and spend more time on the surrounds of the box and the ball arrives more with more quality in the box then he will score more goals for sure.” With the Portuguese looking for a reshuffle over the summer he is eyeing targets who could compliment a target man like Garner. He explained: “We are looking to have much more association with the wide areas next season and increase those combinations. “We are looking for the arrival of totally different sorts of players to perform in that zone of the park. “I want a team who can change the pattern by playing inside, playing behind and switch the play. “We want to play in the wide areas; we want a better relationship between the wingers and the full-backs and between shadow strikers and strikers. “So we want all those type of relationships to improve but definitely we want to play more in the wide areas.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopsleftboot 5,512 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Imagine that eh? Playing to the strengths of what you have instead of trying to shoehorn players into a system they can't operate. It'll never catch on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monk 3,207 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Badly in need of some wingers who can actually cross in the summer, ideally we probably need at least 2 with MOH almost certain leave and possibly even McKay as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lloyd72 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 If we're looking to get the ball in the box more often with better quality of crosses then we should play McKay on the right, let him beat his man and swing it in instead of cutting inside so often if we're gonna play him wide have him play like a wide man Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we looked decent with Dodoo on the left and McKay on the right last game, stick Miller in behind Garner to run onto his flick ons and pick up his rebounds, it could work well imo.

The Wallace McKay overlap didn't work so well, as I think McKay likes his own space to work in, so give him the freedom to do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,714 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 This is rocket science if you're Mark Warburton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 He isn't anywhere near being as good as Mark Hateley, but there was some things he did in the last match which reminded me of Hateley- when he jumps and knocks the ball down he is very good for someone to run on to; maybe a playing partner like that would be a good thing. If only Josh Windass had connected with some of those balls a bit better, particularly in the first half. In the second half he played slightly differently, and had one cross which nearly came off for a goal. He has a bit more variety to his game than he is given credit for.

I just can't get on board with Dodoo. If you get him inside the box, 1 on 1 with a defender he does reasonably well to make a yard and get a shot away but I haven't seen anything else from him that excites me. He's slow as shit and doesn't seem interested in working hard or contesting for the ball. Anyway, I agree that wingers on their natural side with someone a bit more technical or skilful behind Garner would work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when he gets the ball in an advanced area he beats his man maybe 8 times out of 10. Final ball is not always great, but he is a threat.

big blue Fin 3,724 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Caixinha is certainly making sense when he talks and it's such obvious stuff that it makes me wonder why other people didn't notice it earlier in the season. Hopefully he'll have his targets set and already be in talks to bring them in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
