Muiry12 7 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 First time i have ever done this. But had football training and turned off phone and avoided the world till the highlights(some t**g did tell me at football it was 1-0 Stuttgart). Didnt expect the result great stuff. Anyway did anyone think mendes was poor tnite. I thought he gave away the ball continuously and didn't do alot but put us under pressure. Not his best game at all. In-fact the last 3 games he has looked nervous and has been genuinly poor. Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulRFC1 115 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 ill agree he gave the ball away a bit to easy at times but apart from that he was terrific Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis 277 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Nope, thought he was terrific. Mendes was our one creative 'out' The commenators even remarked at how little he gave away Where him (and Rothen) dwelled it was simply because the other players did not see the space That will hapen and should not be a reflection on Pedro (or Rothen) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfc_no1fan 13 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Oh FFS. Mendes was not poor tonight. 2nd half, he Davis and Thomson bossed that midfield. If we were all so fucking poor, how did we control the 2nd half and get a 1-1 draw? Honestly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancedeangers1 287 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 You are spot on OP. How anyone can say otherwise is ludicrous. I shouted at the TV on numerous occasions because of him. That was his worst game in a Rangers shirt. If anyone thinks any differently could they please supply evidence of what he did that was good ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muiry12 7 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Again i have only seen the highlights and i think he gave the ball away often at the wrong times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Once again, I thought he was poor.I don't see the hype in this guy. Far too inconsistant, especially away from home. He talks a good game tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he took a lot of responsibility tonight against a strong opponent and acquitted himself admirably Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Privateeye2910 1 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 One of his worst performances yet. Gave the ball away ALOT. Hopefully he'll improve for the next Champions League game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On more than a handfull of occassions he gave the ball away which put us under alot of pressure. Watch the highlights again and i assure you that you will agree with me.

radlord 24 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 He was pretty poor aye, but in my opinion it'll be the home games that make Mendes in the CL, when we are expected to push on a bit further and will be making more forward runs etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanospence1873 0 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 i thought he played well tonight, he has been a bit off the pace recently but still a top class player and the best player we have along with steve davis and bougie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I said during the summer we should have punted Mednes for £4million ++ and brought in someone better. I do like Mendes but he does tend to have 1 good game in 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence but a dose of reality man The point being, I like yourself Im sure watch this guy every week and thats the first Ive seen him make that many errors. His passing is usually pretty accurate but the statistics if you watch the game again will show you that his performance tonight wasnt of the same effective quality we are used to. Im not bashing Mendes Im just giving an honest account of what actually happened. And the quality of the opposition has nothing to do with basic errors Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
