graeme_4 34,436 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Might be a bit controversial, and I’ll start this off by saying I like him, I like his effort and I love having a genuine fan working his baws off for us (unlike some other ‘Rangers men’ in the squad) - but is he good enough? Not sure to be honest. He was woeful at CB and for me lacks anything too good going forward. Can’t really pick a pass. Doesn’t dictate the tempo of the game. Can’t grab the team by the scruff of the neck and drive us forward. All which you need to be a good holding midfielder. I’d imagine he’ll be under threat with Coulibally coming in as the ‘desroyer’ and you have to think Gerrard will be targeting some creativity in the middle of the park after last night - So where does that leave him?

G.E.C. 18,751 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Think he’s a really good athlete and is best played in midfield but not sure on his football ability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomatasauce 1,253 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 judging anybody in pre season, albeit a competitive game is just fucking idiotic! saying he was shite last nite is fine if that’s how you feel he played but asking people’s opinion of him overall as a player based on lastnite, have a word with yourself fs Malvern and blueredandwhite 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooooootchy 405 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 He wasn't great but last nights not the game to judge him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,428 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Really different opinions last night. I thought he was good last night and didn’t look out of place in the midfield with Arfield.

rangersross 6,530 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Better than Docherty, clearly, but - as people have mentioned already - I think the athleticism of both players disguises some key technical weaknesses (moreso in Docherty admittedly).

Vanoli 4,625 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Not yet, he's still our best prospect, but not yet. Can't think of many good teams that don't have an experienced player in their prime years playing his position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escobar 13,676 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Read someone’s thoughts on him last night and completely agreed. He’s not good enough on the ball to be starting games where will have majority of possession. His bread and butter is flying into tackles and breaking up play, which is why he would be better starting tough games away from home when he wins the ball and passes it to a more creative player.

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 McCrorie was good defensively but poor on the ball last night. Arfield wasn't in the game at all HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy1984 6,314 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Like him but obviously he's got a way to go in his development. Hopefully gerrard and mcallister can mound him into a great midfielder as both of them were more than decent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers star McCrorie was handed his first-team debut last season when he replaced Bruno Alves in the Betfred Cup quarter-final win over Partick Thistle.

The Godfather 71,870 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Think we as a support overrate him. Given we are going to be the team looking to create and score 99% of the time he doesn't really add anything IMO. We have a few mids who are like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPWF 8,229 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 He was absolutely dreadful last night. Chasing the ball around like a daft wee boy as they played triangles round him. Only decent tackle he put in he ended up hurting himself. I rate him, but he needs to be better. The whole midfield last night was poor, the smellies will boss us again this if we continue to be as pedestrian as last night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the old guard 2,323 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Think he will get better as season goes on, had a bad injury and was out for four months last season, not much between him and Ryan Jack imo. Both still need to find sharpness after long spells out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
