Grae 97 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Sionko was pish, had 1 good game against Motherwell then fucked off into obscurity. Beasley is another player who's all of a sudden became better now he's away. I knew it would happen. Probably is a little harsh on Beasley (I said that in my first post) but can someone think of a worse left winger?Rothen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably is a little harsh on Beasley (I said that in my first post) but can someone think of a worse left winger?Think injury marred his time with us, not sure if people think hes worse than he actually was because PLG signed him but he played well at times in a difficult position.Ive always thought Beasley was a good player and have defended him whilst he was playing aswell. Him and Hemdani ran the show against Lyon away, best away performance Ive ever seen and been at. He was a quality player at times. Unfortunately with injuries and the way the SPL teams are set up and play he wasnt able to hit true consistency.Namouchi who was often played on the wings was much worse. Capucho aswell was played on the left and he was worse. Edit - Rothen aswell, just seen the post above, he was worse aswell. Weve not had a decent left winger in years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cousin, Weir and Ferguson, for me. It's about opinions though.Capucho was a right winger, not left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same as Namouchi appeared on the left. But I went for a 4-4-2 with everyone playing in their natural positions. I'm sure I could try and fit just about every player I disliked into any position that was left blank because I couldn't think of an alternative Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Rothen has or had European class talent in there somewhere. We never saw it unfortunately.There was a game he started at Ibrox. 0-0 draw, against Aberdeen, I think.The first half he was whipping in some fantastic balls and if big Boyd wasn't such a lazy bastard we would have been 3 or 4 up at half time.I think Rothen was made a bit of a scape goat for our European campaign as he was meant to be player we brought in to do something in the Champions League. The second half in Stuttgart I thought he was superb.Everyone sees the game differently and no-doubt someone will say to me I just think he's a better player than he was now that he's gone (like I said with Beasley a few posts ago) but I do think he was decent.

papaguy51 912 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 The problem with picking between left wingers is that we've hardly had one since Neil McCann.Beasley wasn't a bad player, he just wasn't suited to getting kicked rib-high by the cloggers in this league. It was made worse by the referees just standing there allowing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogging the touch line and passing the ball back/to the nearest man like it was a hot potato. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogging the touch line and passing the ball back/to the nearest man like it was a hot potato.He was a confidence player, no doubt. I personally think wingers at Rangers have had a hard time of it since McCann and Laudrup. As soon as the Ibrox faithful see the word 'winger', they expect them to be of the same style as the aforementioned two.Rothen got stick because he wasn't fast. Beasley got stick because he kept possession more than risking losing the ball by going past a player. He wasn't a great player though, I completely agree. Perhaps not the worst, but we've had so few left wingers in recent years! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that what Levein was talking about earlier in the week when he said that flair was a 'risk', but I totally agree with you. We can be a pretty hard crowd to play in front of sometimes.

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Can't agree on Djordic. Talked too much of a good game, though - but nowhere near the worst left midfielder I've seen at Ibrox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGM_72 3,729 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Fair enough mate The way I was looking at it was that he produced absolutely nothing in his spell here, where was the likes of Namouchi, Beasley and Rothen all produced a decent display or two. Particularly Beasley, who towards the end of his spell was woeful but I think injuries really ended his chance of a good career here. It was very stop start.I accept that two of those 3 had longer spells at Ibrox than Djordjic did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Aye, that's fair enough. At the end of the day he went to Plymouth and faded away into oblivion so he couldn't have been THAT good - I just quite liked him when he was here.
