Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 This thread and the 20 others since the match last night is the downside of social media. It allows hysterical fans an outlet to demonise or overlaud a player (sometimes new/young) in one game.

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 He's a very average player who's incredibly overrated by some of our fans. He's got potential but that's it for now. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewisrfc93 470 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I like him and thought he was ok last night. I think he has the right attitude for Rangers however ability? I'm not so sure, but I'm willing to give him a good run as we have and have had a lot worse in recent times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWTC 2,247 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Had a poor game last night. Decent enough at chasing the ball down, his use of the ball is poor though. Often chooses the wrong option and his passing is poor. Cedrick and TMB 2 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. A really unwise statement for Gerrard to make imo, would have been better keeping such criticism in-house.. Apart from the fact, he is sticking the knife into a current employee without taking account of the circumstances at the time, that comment could come back to bite him in the future. Walter Smith was probably the most cautious manager we have had in regard to playing young players, particularly young CBs. However, when circumstances dictated, even he had to throw in a young Steven Presley against Marseille In the Champions League. SG is going to look slightly silly if injuries to our other CBs force his hand Into playing McCrorie as an emergency CB next season.

Drunk and disorderly. 14,418 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I thought he looked pretty composed last night. His shot at goal in the first half knocked out a seagull though. .Put in a decent shift overall. He is progressing but it's impossible to tell just how good he will get. Time will tell. We just have to be patient. It was good to see Gerrard put his confidence in a couple of our youngsters for such an important game. Will help them gain experience and do their confidence the world of good. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebell82 243 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I think he'll have a role to play this season...not as a definite starter but def as a holding midfielder in some games, esp against them when our backs against the wall...he doesn't hide (unlike some of our players) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquire8 42,465 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Desire and attitude will get him far. His is far greater than anyone else in the team at present which makes him stand out, technically he ain't the best but in his position he doesn't need to be. You don't see Kante play defence splitting passes, just get the ball back and give it to someone else. With Arfield beside him he will only get better.

GlasgowRangers1983 461 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 100% good enough and I believe if he continues to improve he could be captain of our club in 2/3 years. Does he have room to improve 100% yes. I think with SG comments in the news last week he will be good for his development and I think the lad has a bright future at our club. Best potential youth product we have had in years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiddy 36 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Defensive midfield player.. Thought he broke up there play well.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Didn't think he was great the other night, then again our whole midfield especially Arfield were pretty mediocre with Candeias in absolutely the wrong position. I want to see Ross given time to develop, too many fans either writing him off or wanking themselves silly over him. I think he will eventually revert back to his CB position.

Oz 37 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I think he will develop alot under Gerrard and his team. A genuine hard working big lad and deserves a chance to show he can do more under this regime. Blue Avenger 1 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 gaffer is saying what most of us have been saying for most of the year, the lad looks potential quality in the CDM role and not great at CB. If we need cover at CB we get it, otherwise Ross should build his experience in the CDM role and he will potentially be fantastic, especially if he can be tutored on his ball usage after he wins it. Hell it is harder to find good CDM's that CB's to me so we are on a march with this one. cascadeshrimp and Blue Avenger 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Got to say I agree at this moment in time I feel we need better for def mid position but I do think he is a decent player and has plenty of potential so hopefully in time he will become a big player for us.

Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 The stuff's there. This lad will get better. Well stepped up to the plate last season under some very trying circumstances.

teddybear1975 2,014 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Can only improve with guidance from a top midfielder in Gerrard. Has a great attitude and I'm sure Gerrard will be able to develop his game further. To say he is possibly not good enough at this stage in his development is wide of the mark imo.
