gbm1989 41 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 credit where its due, he was good. cracking pass for miller aswell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyboy2009 11 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Disagree completely. Apart from his assist was pretty shite as well as Davis! Got stuck in but offered fuk all else.GOAT made this thread knowing how it's gonna go thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc 2,401 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Good pass but we lose way too much composure and possession when he is our defensive midfielder. Teams just pass round him like he's not there at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasGers 96 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I thought he and Davis were pretty poor in the first half, and were marginally better in the second.Still a great pass from Lee for the goal though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the brown brogue 1,952 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 He played ok but I still think we have have a glaring fault within our midfield with the time and space we give the opposition from around 35 - 20 yards from our goal. We just dont close down at all.I wouldnt necessarily blame McCulloch for this though as its been a problem for a season or two now regardless of who we've used in midfield.

We just dont close down at all.I wouldnt necessarily blame McCulloch for this though as its been a problem for a season or two now regardless of who we've used in midfield.The problem with McCulloch is that he doesn't have the brains to play defensive midfield. He doesn't know how to close space down or cut out a players options, he's first thought is too charge into the player and give away stupid free kicks which put us under pressure.He chases the ball too much instead of cutting out attacking players options. A player who did this well was Hemdani. Now I wasn't his biggest fan but he knew how to play this position really well. He would never dive in or chase the ball like a bulldog but what he did do was cut off all options for the attacking player then judge his the timing of his interception really well. Unlike Hemdani, Lee charges towards the player, then when he gets beaten it leaves the attacking player a free run at our defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmrfc1873 48 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I agree, he offers the defence a lot of cover, is great at breaking up play and his pass for Miller was brilliant. He always has the odd daft challenge though, he can't resist. Davis hasn't even started the season yet, he's been pretty poor in all 3 games so far.

TravelingWilBEARy 4,319 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 He was poor today apart from his pass for Millers goal.I thought Naismith, once again, was the best player on the pitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overanout 0 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 another average performance from a distincly average player . credit where its due , his pass for the winner was well played and well weighted , something i dont really expect from lee .nice to see he picked up his friend , the yellow card , which he cant seem to go a game without seeing and which is the reason why he was out of the team in the first place . which brings me to my main grievance with today . imo , mcculloch shouldnt have been thrown straight into the starting line up today . we were on a two game winning streak in the league and although edu hadnt been a stand out in either game , i dont think weve had many bar miller last week . i also think this is a big season for edu and he needs a run of games , im sure this will do nothing for his confidence . mcculloch should hav been left out, made to work hard for his place in the side and in theory get more out of both players . i also think that a prolonged seat on the bench would maybe make him have a look at his game , and realise that too many stupid bookings may cost him a place in the side , all for the good of the team though .watp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wreckedroy 33 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 In the 1st half he was one of the few I thought deserved pass marks. He read the game pretty well and made some timely interventions. His passing was good today too, especially compared to Davis who was possibly our worst player, at least in the 1st half. Probably Davis' worst game in a Rangers jersey.Of course there's a section of our support who have made up their minds on McCulloch and can't wait to slaughter him, but today he did little wrong and a lot right. He deserves our backing as much as any other player that plays for Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnyboyrfc 296 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I'm usually critical of big Lee but I thought he was solid today and worked very hard for the cause Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingbo 0 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 What are these 3 games that Davis has played?I thought Lee was sitting too deep and giving their midfielders too much space, meaning he had to charge at them at the last minute (which makes it seems like he's working hard, when he should be closer to them in the first place). He didn't seem to waste many passes though, and a great assist for Miller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
