The experienced international with almost 100 caps and who has captained just about every club he's played for. Seems an obvious choice. He's the latest scapegoat though isn't he?

Hibs goal on Wednesday for example, he was slated for letting Murray get the better of him (rightfully so) but then also slated for not closing down Stevenson quick enough. Where were the rest of our defenders? Can't expect Alves to deal with 2 players at once but it's cool to criticise him just now so that's what we'll do.

He was at fault for that opportunity developing not the closing down/deflection. That goal was on him. His distribution is abysmal and he looks so fucking slow. Those are facts and I might be being harsh here but I just don't think he cares Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what people were expecting but perhaps unrealistic expectations are playing a part in the criticism he's getting. His distribution and long range passing was supposedly among the best in Serie A last season. Maybe it's the players around him. Maybe he just finds the game here a but harder. Who knows? I don't believe he doesn't care though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other players thing is garbage tho look at his back passes yesterday atrocious that's him being pish no one else Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is, he's just came here, done nothing to show why he should be captain and complains it's too physical for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A canny be arsed getting the full thing because the pictures splitting it up. Rangers defender Bruno Alves said the physical nature of his team's League Cup semi-final 2-0 defeat by Motherwell was "too much" and "not football".
