graeme_4 34,433 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I started a topic about 6 months ago, about how Miller was getting too big for his boots and how he was becoming a liability on the park too, and got roundly slaughtered for it by most. We're into a new season, and it seems that things are just getting worse and worse with him. I'll not go over old ground (thumping the Celtic badge, leaving again to chase the £££ in Turkey etc) but in the last two league games he's missed two guilt edge chances that would have buried the opposition when we were at 1-0 and flying. Also made a cunt of it with a stupid dummy (which he's no right to try given his limited ability) and then had a good moan at Morelos for it while Hibs went up the park and equalised. He's had quite a few subtle(ish) digs at the manager about how it's not ideal to be signing so many players or foreign players, and now he's thrown Jack under the bus for the red card at the weekend while also dishing out a few kind words to 'Lenny' and 'Stokesy'. Some fucking captain, do you think Brown or Lennon would do that to one of their own? Also heard from a few different circles that he was the dressing room leak last year, which ties up nicely with his next move to Hibs and then his transition into punditry. IMO he hit a run of a few goals at the end of last year, and Pedro felt he had to give him a new deal, when in reality he'd probably have preferred not to. If I was Pedro I'd be dropping him, he's too old, not good enough and is getting above his station. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Said it when he got his new contract, he should be a squad player at best and if he continues to start week in week out we will win fuck all. Nothing Ive seen has changed my mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure about the leak stuff, his motives when he conducts interviews or his next career plans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy 731 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Don't know about the background stuff but I agree he's no longer good enough to be in the starting 11, and definitely not captain material. Neither is he a midfielder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the positional awareness to realise that there's an opposition player directly behind you when you're about do it. Also the sense not to try it every single time the ball comes towards you so that it's not so predictable and easy to stop. That's just my opinion though.

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 If he plays again this weekend watch him. He tries these dummies and stupid wee flicked first time passes because when he actually finds himself in possession he's like a rabbit in the headlights now. He's finished.

To do it succesfully then i would say quite a lot, the most important part being all round awareness of opponents positioning, team mates positioning and if the pass is going to meet intended target and the intended target is going to have the awareness of your dummy. Kenny doesn't have that awareness unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple Herrera came on on Saturday and won the ball a few times only for his knockdown to fall to a Hibs player because Miller didn't even have the sense to be playing off of him. That's not the manager's fault. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I still quite likw him in a footballing sense but I fucking can't stand him in other ways - this Stokesy pish, cuddling Brown after Old Firms, constant talking up of others. It makes me want to spew my ring every time I read or hear him. I think I said the other day, he literally has no idea what it is to a Ranger (and never will) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassaaaa 11,406 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 He has far to much clout at the club , a bit like Ferguson during the Le Guen farce. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtanian 252 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I said at the end of last season he shouldn't have got a new deal, his finishing is terrible as a striker and the whole shape goes out of the team as he play's every position he feels like during a match. If we must use him he should come off the bench for the last 20 mins or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenerife Bear 1,748 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Agreed. His constant head down and moaning all the time on the park must be horrible to play with, it's certainly embarrassing to watch. Then all the sitters he misses, the filling in in midfield, the play breaking down with him all the time, him taking a place in the team where we need 11 warriors pulling in same direction, he's just shite, that is the bottom line, he's finished. Time to move on. Thanks for the efforts Kenny but your time's up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElBufalo20 7,887 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Was happy for him to sign a contract but was expecting him to be more of a squad player this season. His miss at the weekend was shocking should've been 2 up. still light up front which is worrying. I would've kept Waghorn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,600 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Miller can only play if he stays upfront if not he should never be on the Field. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geronimoo 1,474 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Miller has limited ability and cannot read a game, he has always been rank rotten as a player. Most of the Rangers support were creaming over him last season and thought he was amazing and gave him stupid nicknames like King Kenny, the reality was actually more like he was the least useless in a team of useless cowards. FFS our second best player was Clint Hill and our defence was a walking bomb scare last season, I fail to see what Miller has ever added to the Rangers team even when he was younger. He could never score, never had a first touch, could never go by a man, could never read a game, and in short was always piss poor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lloyd72 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I too am sick of him tbh, he shat it on Saturday and fucks our attacking play half the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
