StayWestFree 107 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Rothen was slow as fuck on Saturday there. Looked way to slow on the ball. But he did make a few awesome passes. Naismith for me though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy 68 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 rothen will do the business......give him time How do you know this? From what I saw against Motherwell, hes utter bollocks, not even a hint of anything more to come from him. Sniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiif sniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiif! Was that subtle enough? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Rothen was slow as fuck on Saturday there. Looked way to slow on the ball. But he did make a few awesome passes. Naismith for me though. Probably because he is not fully fit, and, has not played in a number of weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Rothen was slow as fuck on Saturday there. Looked way to slow on the ball. But he did make a few awesome passes. Naismith for me though. Probably because he is not fully fit, and, has not played in a number of weeks. Hopefully he comes into more of a game tonight. I feel Rangers will play 451 or the 433 with Rothen and Naismith playing this time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Would play Rothen off the bench for a few weeks as he is short of match practice. Looks slow unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
costablancabear 0 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 This is a catch 22 question IMO - Naisy has been showing promise and flashes of why he was brought to Ibrox. On the other hand Rothen is a talented dead ball specialist with pace and flair and is a Fench Internationalist, we have been crying out for a natural winger for the left and now we have one - so I say give him a chance.....I don't see Naisy as a winger anyway. I also feel that Aaron should be getting more of a look in as well as I have watched the kid play in Spain and he is very quick and prefers to play on the right and cut back and swing crosses in with the left - he is a great prospect as are many young wans at Ibrox as you all know just now, but at least we havemany choices of different quality in the middle and wide now, it is great when your manager is spoilt for choice - as I feel he is just now ! BTW I would consider selling Beasley in January - OK he has shone for the USA and has 90 caps but he has done fek all since coming to the blue seas - OK he has been unlucky with injuries but lets face it he hasn't done anything on the pitch. PS - I am new to the forum - so any replies welcome - cheers - WATP Cracking post, I agree with it, Naismith, despite being capable of playing on the wing, should play up front, and im really surprised he never started today given how well he played midweek Aaron is gone now though Cheers bro ! But Aaron did get called back from Valencia, then Rangers managed to get him back on loan about a month back - that is why I think WS should use the kid more.....anyway great the mhanks slip up when we do - Gers for the treble ! Didn't Aaron leave because he signed for Celta Vigo? So I don't think we've got him anymore. I'd have Naismith all day long, our team has been severely lacking in pace for years and Naismith looks like he could be the answer to this. Rothen kind of reminded me of Thomas Buffell on Saturday, technically a very skilled player, but just isn't suited to the SPL. I really hope I'm wrong but he didn't look at all interested in tracking their right back. His delivery into the box did look good on a few occasions so hopefully it's just a case of him getting up to speed. Naisy is looking the part and I can see why you compare Rothjen with Buffel - PaulRFC1( Thomas being another player who I thought was quality ) but it will take Rothen time to settle into the SPL, but he was quality in the 2nd half against Stuttgart and wasn't phased by the occasion as he is a very talented and experienced Pro - he brings more option for Walter and keeps all the midfielders on their toes - IMO Walter has yet again proved he can spot a player from a mile away and I think Rothen and his dead balls and crosses will be beneficial to us, we also have plenty of other angles to try now if he is not up to scratch with Novo, Fleck, Naisy, Lafferty, Beasley etc when fit...... but all in all I feel we have great variation in pace, flair, skill and experience in the middle now - we will click soon - we have played dire and still not lost yet - so when we hit top gear - watch oot LOL Aaron is on loan to Celta - but he did leave Ibrox and come back - then Valencia put him on loan to Viga bro !

opportunityknox 1 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Both should play. Rothen on the left, Naismith up front with Lafferty. In my humble opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
