WishyB 10 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Edu is not off form, he is just shite.The boy’s confidence is at an all time low, he was a solid player for us in the past two seasons. It’s your opinion but the criticism the guy gets isn’t going to help his form or help us win the league. Until he is sold he is a bear at the end of the day.

Gaz52 11,837 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I didn't see the game today but BBC Sport said Davis was the best thing about it today, any truth in that? Hope the wee man put in a good shift Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edu is looking like a lost cause to me (and I am usually on of the last to give up on a player). I just wish Edu would win at least one 50 -50 tackle.

GovanFrontSince96 315 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Solid player for 2 seasons, he was out injured for ages! He is rotten mate, he skips about midfield absolutely lost, poor in the tackle, terrible at passing, positioning is awful.. Forgot his awful first touch.I will travel over to Eindhoven on Thursday praying he wont be in the team but know my heart will sink when he is in the starting 11. I will back him from start of a game to the finish like I do every rangers player, however it won't change that I think he is a terrible footballer.

I will back him from start of a game to the finish like I do every rangers player, however it won't change that I think he is a terrible footballer.He has looked lost in middle of the park but I think it's more to do with him hiding not wanting the ball due to lack of confidence.In the past two seasons he didn't play alot of games but when he did he looked decent he was mobile, solid in the tackle & scored the odd goal. Ever since his injury he has looked like he's scared to commit to a tackle.Anyway am sure you will support the lad's in Holland have a good time buddy.

1873Graeme 6 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Thought Davis was our best player today though still poor by his standards and Edu or Fleck was our worst. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistledhub 2 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 The issue with Edu is that he has a poor first touch and he often gives the ball away - today was no different. Diouf dropped too deep in the first half, but started to push up and win a few headers in the second half. The real problem is that we lack pace. When Walter plays the defend and hit them on the break, we need pace up front to do this. Diouf doesn't have it, nor does Healey.It may feel like we should complain, but we are missing big players for us at the moment and we are still in a strong place in the league. Our second string (which was effectively what was on the park today) can win at St Mirren, but will struggle against better teams.For those who criticise Walter Smith, sorry guys, but when did you suddenly become more knowledgeable the him? He knkows the players, what they can do what they cant. He also knows how they are doing in training etc, none of us do. So let's get behind Walter and give him some support for his last hurrah.And yes, it bothers me that we have some players on the pitch who are not really up to the standard we are used to, but if they have a blue shirt on, I support them. I just wish they would pass the ball better! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 We were rank rotten today. The only things worthy of mention being a well taken goal and the three points we gathered.We were flat, devoid of creativity with a worrying lack of urgency on display throughout.

Wasn't only the players who were awful, the support was flat as well.We didn't have a striker on the park for the final 24 minutes, five at the back and pack the midfield, against St. Mirren Our performances worry me - I have never see a team play so consistently poor.
