mmrfc1873 48 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Other than a few half hearted attempts at tackle's, a few misplaced passes and a few completed passes, Davis was not involved at all, yet their's no criticism of him at all. Edu must be the new whipping boy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edu must be the new whipping boy.I tend to agree there aswell. Edu was awful, but Davis gets away with murder sometimes.Fantastic player, but he's a golden boy that gets away with murder.

dcrfc 0 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 How can some of you say Edu was the worst player on the pitch? He put in a decent shift, when the likes of Steven Whittaker offered absolutley nothing apart from giving the ball away time and time again. His performance was cringeworthy and he gets a free ride while everyone jumps on the "Maurice Edu is Pish" bus. If you actually looked at the game carefully I think you would find he offered much more than our other two CM's aswell who were almost invisible.

SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I was at the game and thought if it was not for Naismith, Edu would have been MOTM, he was outstanding. Very exciting prospect in the Rangers midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MO EDU #1Whittaker, Davis AND Edu were all poor tonight, and I said earlier - Davis gets away with murder - but that doesn't detract from Edu. Rightly. Fucking hell. Listen to us lads.

fiddyp 15 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Thought ge had a good game tonight. I think confidence is an issue with him in respects to the role he plays. With Lee on the pitch there is a case for Mo to push forward, which he did tonight he needs to bang one in for his confidence to soar. With regards to him slowing the play I think he broke up play well tonight and looked for the killer ball right away only it wasn't there as miller and naisy had bombed it downfield and he had to play out wide to Whittaker or broadfoot. Don't know why he gets a hard time as he is a young guy with a great future if he keeps showing up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 11,453 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Edu's best spell with us was when he was partnering Mendes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theweebluenose 4,343 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 He was no worse or better than McCulloch or Davis in my opinion. I felt he had a decent enough shift, some decent passes and challenges and a willingness to get forward despite losing out occasionally and bad positioning. To me the weak link in the team at this level is Whittaker, yet people never criticise him because he can do some fancy tricks with the ball once in a blue moon.

FlippinEck 3,844 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 A few times Edu showed why he is better than mcculloch (not in this match but just as a player overall) and that was when he picked up the ball, ran with it and played some good forward passes, he also played some neat triangles with players... Edu did a job in there, musnt be easy putting in a good shift then getting dropped Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmrfc1873 48 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I don't think I've ever really been impressed with Edu in the spl, but when it comes to the champions league he seems to rise to the occasion, big game player more than anything.
