Scapegoat Edu is back

[simplythebest 11,453]

Horrendous display from most, possibly all of the players today including Davis in a midfield that was awful overall, yet again Edu seemed to be the one getting most of the stick from the stands. Even in situations where he has no support it's still all his fault.

The guy has faults and didn't play well today but it really gets on my wick how much of a hard time he gets when you can pick out several people who have played worse than him and not got that.

Davis has been getting his fair share of criticism from what I've seen. Edu was the... less shit of the two.

[RangersMedia 35,961]

He was as bad as anyone else in midfield today to be honest. I dont think he knows his role in the team...I dont think Ally knows his role in the team.

Was talking about what I picked up at the game rather than the forum.

Realised this also.

There was, yet again, another point where he got out of a tricky situation with the ball but the fans were groaning in the stands as if he had given the ball away even though he got given the ball in a very awkward situation. Then fans have a go at him for trying to stick his foot out at a wild Allan Mcgregor clearance as if he passed it right to the opposition (something quite a few of our players were doing today). The guy cant win. He got stuck in more than some of our other players today and never bottled some awkward challenges, he wasnt great, nobody was today, there is no denying that but the stick Edu gets is ridiculous.

Certainly wasn't the worst

[kplfishtank 4,667]

the 4 midfielder were awful and this contributed to our defence lumping the ball towards jelavic and lafferty

[ScottBF2 3,540]

Bedoya was the worst.

[50ShadesofBlue 667]

Regardless of being a scapegoat, he was fucking horrendous today.

[SirWalterSmithLegend 206]

The gaffer get away with it as usual though? Sending players out on the pitch when they are badly off form, setting the team up with absolutely no width, allowing players to take the field who cant be arsed, taking to long to change things, even thinking 1 man up front could do it when hooking mcKay(thankfully he fixed that when Kane came on later on but too little far too late)

Edu was dreadful today but so were all 4 midfielders who were dominated by mediocre opposition.

The fans who left early when the game was at 0-0 should also be ashamed of themselves. When the players needed support the fans turned their backs and walked out on them. Shameful.

:broadfoot: fuckin murder the day if there is no younger better full backs at murray park than him then its a sad state of affairs. In fact whats happened to mcmillan!

[Creampuff 22,628]

Edu wasn't the worst today, but that was simply because others were worse, not that he was better.

He deserved his stick, he just doesn't have a footballing brain at all.

[Bad Robot 21,512]

im normally edu's worst critic but i cant single him out today.I thought davis was defending far too much, maybe because he had toi. I think we were lucky to escape with a point and it seems these beraks dont do us no favours.

Edu was far from the only let down today. Our midfield struggle as a creative force without wee Naisy in the side and there is no one in the squad that comes close to filling the void left by Steven's absence.

Steve Davis looked a shadow of the player he can be when the Scotland front man is in the side which is more than a little worrying.

[Scott-RFC 308]

He is carried in most games, so when other people arent playing up to the standard he sticks out like a sore thumb

Hiding today

[Creampuff 22,628]

The only reason I slate Edu more than Davis is that Davis was at least trying to get involved in the game.

Edu was hiding, and it's not the first time.

[freezinhere 3]

Edu not the worst today but you do have to question what he brings to the team.A few others should give themselves a shake and realise they have to put the effort in if they want to be in the team regularly

[Ace 3,556]

Edu was never the worst today, Davis didn't contribute and has been off the pace, as for Bedoya and McKay ...

I had high hopes for McKay for filling that hole left by Naismith, after today I saw he just doesn't do the same role. Naismith will be our biggest loss of the season IMO !!

[StuartM6 279]

Edu was poor. Davis was nowhere to be found.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Edu wasn't the worst because Edu made every attempt to stay away from the ball.

[Jimfanciesthedude 24,986]

the frightening thing is that edu get criticised for things that arent his game, i.e trying to get things moving in the attacking sense, whereas as someone says above, davis gets a get out of jail free card because he is defending too much

if davis focused more on attacking then edu can perform his proper duties defensively and both look better

[TerryHurlock 21]

Absolutely laughable the stick Edu is taking on here, I'm not a big fan of him but he by far and away the best midfielder we had on the pitch today, Was the only one that looked like winning a 2nd ball and the only one of the midfield trying to put in a challenge, people were shouting at the fact he didn't pass it out quick enough, he won't pass it quick and IMO is asked to break up play and pass the creative stuff onto Davis, who did not deliver !

[Creampuff 22,628]

Being better than Davis today does not make Edu free from criticism, I was better than Davis today from SW1
