KeyserSoze 14,418 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I fucking love him. A very very important player for us.

sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I just like to see him scoring again soon but he gives his all every week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 played a huge hand in two goals tonight and should have scored. i hope he isnt getting frustrated, he just has to be patient and the goals will come again Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,204 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Needs more support. Doing the work of 2 upfront to accommodate 5 in midfield doing the work of 3 or 4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackandra 732 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 He has alot more than just his goals. Gutted he never scored 1 tonight Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd 10,756 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Even without scoring he had a great game, not had someone like that since Jelavic Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyc06 6,902 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Think he would benefit massively from another striker playing along side him! He's got that Dado Prso work rate about him though!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Love his tenacity, love his attitude. Gone off the boil a bit in terms of scoring but he is developing into a player who isn’t just about goals. A 4-3-1-2 is a shout with Herrera playing up top with him and Pena in behind.

Hoodster 162 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Thought he played well tonight - good hold up play and brought others into the game. Only thing missing was a goal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the brown brogue 1,853 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Reminds me of Diego Costa in the way that he seems to be able to wind defenders up but not go over the line himself. Money well spent and if we hang onto him for longer than 2 seasons I'll be very surprised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Great player. The defenders were too busy with him that they allowed Pena the chances he tucked nicely away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffy2391 574 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Decent OP. When I heard the early interviews with him talking about his passion for an international call up, I was expecting a tunnel visioned striker through and through. Those qualities are there but there are certainly more dimensions to his game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve developed a good understanding - helps that they’re both South American and presumably speak Spanish to each other. Played a few 1-2s and first time passes to where they thought the other would be and it came off a lot. I like big Herrera too. The footballing experts on here have written him off but he’s a handy player and that trio could be successful IMO. Would also mean we could drop Windass and play a 3 in midfield of Jack/Holt/Dorrans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze 14,418 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 If he can continue to play defenders like a fiddle and understand his role is not just to score but create the space for others he’ll hopefully be a huge asset. Yes he should weigh in with 20+ but I won’t mind if we score plenty from midfield too though with his help. I watched him closely tonight he’s a pain in the arse and knows exactly how to rile folk up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And last season how many times did we bemoan that lack of of runners getting into the box and getting on to the end of crosses?Encouraging how many bodies we're getting into the box.

Sparkle 53,192 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Credit where it's due to our management team for bringing him in. I know we have been disappointed before but I'm really optimistic about the rest of the season if he, Pena and maybe Herrera continue to click Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Herrera's composure in the final third and if teams are just going to sit in against us at home that three upfront could do the business.

Amac9 2,060 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Seems to be the type of player who if he is going through a barren spell his head might drop but he will still give his all. Hopefully starts scoring again. Still don't forget he's only 21. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
