To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Looks a bit slow and gave the ball away needlessly. I was thinking during the game that Halliday isn't any worse, but then he came on and I saw that Toral, even playing not too great and out of position is a better option.

BlueThunder 8,636 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 He did a wonderful job of falling over for their first goal tonight. I thought he sounded promising when he arrived, but sadly I don't think he is going to make a meaningful contribution, unlike Hyndman.....

K.A.I 36,183 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Both are absolutely shite. The guys in the transfer forum were telling us he's a player and not to worry about how he couldn't get a game for Granada or whatever 2-bob Spanish team it was. Utter garbage. Thank God we've got one midfield signing right in some capacity, even if it's a loan in Hyndman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleh1872 87 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 may have said it before on here, but given the postion we are in at the moment where we dont have a DM, well we do but he lives on the treatment table. I honestly think it would be worth a try (not saying it would work) to play danny Wilson in there, he is not a brilliant defender but i think he has a very good range of passing and is good on the ball. Have him in there he is more physical than anyone else we have, and is a defender (granted not a fanstastic one) have him in there just splitting attacks, cutting out the passing lanes and winning balls in the air, and do nothing but sit about 15 yards in front of the centre halves. IMO he would be better here than Holiday, or toral Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 We've tried everyone in the DM role so for me we have to try Wilson. Simply because he naturally stays back and most of the time has a great range of passing. What do we have to lose? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanoli 4,654 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Nightmare first half - sitter of a free header, that backheel, lack of pace and desire tracking a runner nearly cost us a goal. He was fine second half, moved the ball quicker and actually stuck a couple of challenges in. Hes never in a million years a holding midfielder, in fact he's the opposite and wants to be close to the strikers. To say Halliday is a better player is fucking stupid.

Inigo 33,338 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 12 hours ago, tannerall said: I thought he really matured tonight before tiring.Started off terrible, but as the game went on he was really getting to grips with the game and some of his positioning and passing was superb. Obvious he prefers to play the Spanish way with movement, making space and passing, rather than the Scotish mentality of "never mind the ball, let's get on with the midfield battle" attitude. Arteta was the same when he first came here, and we saw it in Zelalem too. They both improved once they toughened up a bit (although Zelalem was still unsure a bit about the physical side), and I expect Toral to do the same. (Edit: Just realised all three mentioned there were at Arsenal.) Yeah, this. After the first 15 minutes I thought 'this guy is a nightmare'. But to be fair to him, despite the screams he was getting from the stand, he steadied. I thought thereafter he had a good game. He passed it quite well and looked composed. He was also putting the tackles about quite well, so I don't know where the 'he can't tackle' is coming from. Much, much better than I've seen from Halliday. The lad looks like he could come on to a game for us given a chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz52 11,837 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Still can't believe the OP thinks Halliday is better but. I'm not saying Toral is anything special but come on to fuck, Halliday is one of the worst midfielders I've seen for Rangers in the SPL And I genuinely can't believe someone just called him a "no nonsense solid defensive midfielder" .. Have you watched him? He goes down screaming anytime he goes in for a 50/50 and gives the ball away most of the game, gets bullied off Dundee and Inverness players. He's the polar-opposite of a solid defensive midfielder He kids on he's a pure die-hard Rangers man but so it's cool, even though he didn't know the last time we won a treble, doesn't strike me as a die hard Rangers fan at all. He done well to get his move and earn a decent pay-day for a semi-pro level midfielder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
