Smile 26,604 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Both come to the end of their Careers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 It's amazing that so many supporters today are of the sabe opinion but they keep getting a start. Miller would be good to have around the squad and as back up. Kranjcar, I'd rather see his wage going to a younger player with energy in his legs.

BailliestonTB 270 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Both finished. Miller more so than niko. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer93 15,057 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Miller has been a great servant for us but if we have serious aspirations of making a challenge then the two of them simply can't start, our play was much more direct and flowing by the time the 2 of them departed Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number5 2,121 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Niko would be playing at a far higher level if he could be arsed. But myself and probably many others knew exactly what we were getting when MW brought him here. He's a waste of a wage. Cameo roles where you could make a fucking wonderful Youtube compilation but other than 2 or 3 moments of magic he offers nothing. Imagine if he started against the fenians..... As for Miller, time to sit it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
will2203 821 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Both passengers today. Miller usually okay but Niko is a luxury we cannot afford. Rangers teams have always carried a flair player but those have been higher standard teams than we have now. Add heidless Tav into the mix and we struggle against the stronger teams.

hammer time 653 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Time has caught up with both of them, although in fairness to Niko being played left mid isn't doing him any favours Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm26896 995 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Both were poor at times , but Miller had a hand in our first goal. They will still play a vital part in our season , as PC rates them . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefootwillie 1,518 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Both I feel , given they are towards the very end of their top level careers, should really be used as impact substitutes. I would assume we are actively looking for quality replacements for their places in the squad . I hope that by start of next season we have fully replaced them and we can thank them for their service . Miller in particular Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaka 1,673 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Can we not offer them coaching roles as a subtle way of hinting that it's time to retire? Niko has no pace but the mental side is still there at a much reduced level. He knows what he should be doing but doesn't have the physical capability to do it anymore. Miller is almost the exact opposite, he still runs around a lot but at a slower pace. He seems to have completely lost whatever game awareness he had and become even more of a headless chicken with no clue what he's meant to be doing.

Tenerife Bear 1,748 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Was embarrassing at times watching them both stumble through that game. They are quite clearly finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The younger players who should be pushing HARD for these 2 starting places aren't really battering the door down though,need to see a lot more from Windass,Herrera,Hardy etc I see a lot of folk blaming the manager for continually playing them but the younger guys should really be making the managers mind up for him.A young hungry professional should be embarrassed getting kept out the team by a 37 year old who thinks he's Andreas Pirlo We looked much better when both came off and got replaced by younger players. They could both potentially still have a role to play this season but it's most likely to be as late substitutes rather than starters. Time to give the younger players a chance in my opinion.

ritchieshearercaldow 22,137 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Miller can still get goals but he should be on the bench as a bit player, Niko is just past it and far too slow, he has wee touches of brilliance but that's not enough.

"Usually ok" He is Glasgow Rangers no 9 and is not scoring goals or getting assists. Have a look at the other thread, his contribution towards goals is awful. In addition to that, time and again our play breaks down when he loses possession. Especially when we counter. He should have been released last season. He is not the player or one of 5 captains Pedro and Miller himself believe him to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say release them. I said drop them. Come January look to let them go to somewhere they'll both get games and extend their careers. That shouldn't be here. Why move them into coaching if a) there's no vacancies b) they may not have badges. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did the hard graft - the team benefited from there 60 min - Miller was instrumental in our opening goal and niko supplied some much needed class - there's an honest discussion! But negativity - seems to equal 'honesty' but it's not - anyway I enjoyed the win that they contributed to Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Yes I thought they did Miller had 3-4 opportunities to score but didn't but at least got in those positions - some of Nikon play was class - but it was not their best games but certainly would not call for them to be dropped based on today - also as it's a team game they started we won well - they get cudos for that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
