papaguy51 912 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Passenger for me. Yet to demonstrate that he is physically capable of playing at this level any more. McCulloch offers far more at DM right now which says something doesn't it?His completely-underrated-by-everyone-but-me-apparently performances in the UEFA Cup run proved to me that he's easily capable of playing at this level!

MikeBlue 136 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Passenger for me. Yet to demonstrate that he is physically capable of playing at this level any more. McCulloch offers far more at DM right now which says something doesn't it?His completely-underrated-by-everyone-but-me-apparently performances in the UEFA Cup run proved to me that he's easily capable of playing at this level!Did you miss the "any more" bit?He's had a serious injury and right now is too slow to play at SPL level. There's a reason players retire and it's not because they've forgotten how to play - it's because they are too slow to play at the level they want to play at. Thomson is currently in that position and it remains to be seen whether things will improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniemca 479 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 total passenger, you can come back from injury and lack touch and match fitness but this guy is so far of the pace and so unfit its iunbelievable. if a youngster like ness couldnt contribute more than him he should chuck it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
polar bear 0 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I thought he was miles off the pace today. We can't use the"awe he's been injured"excuse either. Never been big on him,don't think he's good enough to command a starting spot,in a not so great Rangers side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisrfc93 470 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 thought he was pretty decent today, was alot fitter than he has been in a long while. Also i actually noticed he was playing today as the last few weeks he has played i thought he was non existent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenDavis 112 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I disagree Muiry.In fact, such are the extent of his two most recent injuries, I don't expect to see the best of him until next season.He should be put on the bench for the rest of this year, and given half hours or full halves here and there. Edu looks like he's came back a lot stronger, no surprise as his injury wasn't AS serious, plus he's just a naturally fit and strong guy.Defenitely needs a good pre-season.

SuperRangers 2 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Best hes played in months and great to see him getting his sharpness back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
easterhouse64 1 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 he started crap, but got a bit better as the game went on, he has along way to go before he reaches the levels (if he can) before he was injured Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
