ARockit 118 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Niko has never, and will never have a sufficient level of pace to contribute consistently to a Rangers team throughout a game. He is the luxury player we can never afford to have in the team, and he is NOT the sort of player to build our team around. Glimpses and a couple of astute moves will never be enough. Time for this (and other) changes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterD 7,430 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 If he plays he needs wide men that can play, not a forward and a shite winger. Also needs to have a midfielder ahead of him, not 2 behind him. I cant get why anyone thinks that midfield was a good set-up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 A player who is chronically unfit is holding an ice pack on his leg on Thursday and he plays the full 90 minutes on Tuesday. The manager's on fucking glue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the brown brogue 1,853 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Dont think he could quite believe it himself when Rossiter was taken off instead of him. He could barely move. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue1872 463 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I thought he was our only decent player. He might not have the best fitness but he never stopped trying to make things happen all game. The rest were all shite, every one of them.

Scottyarf37 963 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Honestly thought ot was a good line up. Waghorn on the bench. Thought thay team would get a few few goals and look forward to the next round. Something is not right, none seemed to be trying. Dalcio and Candeias look really really poor Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenerife Bear 1,748 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 He's quicker in his head than any outfield player on the grass. He had an impossible shift tonight. No midfielders to support or help him, 2 guys sitting in front of back 4 and nothing up front to show for him or bounce off him, the front 3 were diabolical.

Then_now_forever 19 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Hate to say it but Niko is done at this level . Was probably done before his major injury to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JukeBoxJohn 3,060 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Slows down everything we do and is only useful when we're 3-0 up in a game and cruising. His performance was also massively overrated in the first leg. Hopefully Redknapp takes him at Birmingham cause he has fuck all heart and fuck all fitness.

In walter we trust 228 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Niko was the only positive tonight , the only one with a bit of skill. Jack and rossiter are too alike . The two wingers look very poor . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue 9,282 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Our three midfielders all looked short of pace, match fitness, desire or knowledge of what the fuck they were doing. Amateurs looked fitter with more hunger and desire than our prima donnas. i get why he played two sitting midfielders in an away tie but you then don't play your third that can't fucking run.

Cobham 1,569 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 When playing 1 up front you need a number 10 with the legs and engine to support him. Kranjcar can't do that and it's been a big problem the last two matches, nobody anywhere near the striker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theulstervolunteer 1,859 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I think of all players and staff he's the least of our worries atm... he was the only one that looked like creating anything we have nothing else going forward and lost two poor goals defensively ....

Alves70 393 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 He's a luxury we just can't afford especially away from home. Also the most unfit player I think I've ever seen by the 40 minute mark he looks like he will pass out due to oxygen deprivation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanMK 4,616 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Wish this site would go into lockdown after a defeat like this. People scampering about looking for someone to blame. It was a shite team performance. Whether that's to do with shite players, unfamiliarity, poor tactics, fitness or just an amalgamation of everything, time will only tell. But I wish cunts would stop making threads for everyone of our players explaining why they're shite. Its not even been a week since people were wanking over Kranjcars performance.

westenclosure2008 787 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Can't believe you would single Niko out. Yes he has no pace but the main problem is that he had no options. The wide players look horrific and offered absolutely nothing in either leg and there was no intelligent movement from any striker over the 2 games. I think Kranjcar would be an effective player in a decent team even with his pace. He is only a luxury if he is the only creative player in the 11. You need the other 10 to do more than play a ten yard square ball. Saying that most of them struggled even with that tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Then_now_forever 19 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 He is full of skill and his football brain is streets ahead of anyone in our side. Unfortunately his brain is ahead of his legs also, they won't carry him any more at any decent level . The man is done , it's quite sad to watch in truth .

loyal 136 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 nico was the only player that offered anything remotely tonight a midfield of three that consists of two holding players rossiter and jack who sat behind him what the fuck was he suppose to do and what the fuck was pedro thinking off playing two holding players against a fucking team like that.
