I believe this as well. I do not compare him to Ejaria, he is far more skilled with more bottle than people give him credit for. However, he is under performing right now, especially today.

He’s not a winger mate. He is a creative midfielder and it looks to me that we are short changing him and restricting him by playing him too deep.

falkirkNS 6,298 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Quite good on first impressions.. said it since end July ojo and aribo are not starting 11 players for any Rangers team that aims to win league titles too physical and fast...

NeoGeo7 10,503 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Aribo is a good technical player but he’s either holding back out of choice or being told to. 9 times out of 10 he played a safe pass today and he should be the one with quick one twos getting into pockets of space. Central mid we have 2 out of the 3 positions sorted in Davis and jack but the last player isn’t quite right whether it’s arfield (should be him but he’s off form at the moment), kamara (started brightly last year and looked comfortable but now looks awkward and complacent on the ball) or Aribo. It’s quite frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only caught the highlights today so won't slate him but the one or 2 things I did see were him being lazy in the middle of the park in one of the biggest half arsed attempts you'll see and him fucking up a cross. In the sense that I think we need to pick and choose which games he plays in, almost like we did with Barasic, until he truly finds his feet and settles because he’s toiling in the quicker more physical games at the moment.

KyleBJK 847 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 You can tell there’s a player in there just waiting to burst out of his shell but my god I’d love to know what’s stopping it, at times today it looked like he literally hid and avoided been available for the pass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are relying on Alfredo/Defoe for all our goals. The midfielders need to start weighing in and running beyond the striker at times. We had same problem last season, we get the odd goal from a winger or a centre half at set piece but the midfield 3 arent contributing enough for me.

Outside maybe Ojo, our wingers are not proficient goal scorers including our 7m man and that is a slight problem. Way too much emphasis on Morelos, Defoe and penalty kicks.

Having a proper CAM would allow the manager to go 4-2-3-1 at time’s which is more attacking than the 4-3-3. Having a guy sitting in the hole between opposition midfield and defense supporting the striker works. Them across the city have been using one for years. At Ibrox when we’re trying to break teams down, or we’re chasing a goal, we could use a player like this. I really think Gerrard is setting us up too defensively at times. In Europe three sitting midfielders in front of the defense is fine but domestically we can afford to push a guy forward in to a more advanced position.

Don81 2,837 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Some players need more time than others to settle/ get used to the Scottish game. As with Barasic it could even be next year we see the best of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LookingForEric 133 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Don’t really understand why we are so quick to condemn players to the rubbish pile. The boy has had a few good games earlier, culminating in his international selection. He has it in him and like others have said he will show us all again I’m sure. If there is any comparison with Ejaria it could well be homesick. it wasn’t long ago folk said get rid of Morelos, hopeless etc, Davis wasn’t worth the risk and Barasic was woeful. Oh how things change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gersfc86 39 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I have to say one player who seems to escape all criticism just now is Ryan Jack. He does not do enough for me. To be a top midfielder you need to do more than pass is sideways and backwards. His shooting from distance is abysmal, he lacks a physical presence and also lacks pace. If Davis is not playing Ryan Jack would be more exposed for the average player he is! Aribo I believe will come good for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack is the water carrier of our side, he is fantastic at it and his all round game is improving week after week. We are a far worse side when he isn’t in it.

Ryan Jack has been outstanding this year and hasn't put a foot wrong out with the ball he lost that led to Porto's goal. It is clear as day we miss him when he isn't playing. See Hearts last week and also Motherwell yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
