rblair92 28 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 He looked very short of fitness, but I think if he gets his head down and works then he could turn out to be a good player for us. Didn't do much when he came on but he was alive to Herrera winning the ball to get us that free kick late on. If we want to get the best out of Herrera up front then he needs people playing off him like that. Looks like Pena has been a good player and lost his way a bit. Just remains to be seen if he has the right attitude to get back to his best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is he on a lard diet? I still don't get why he was even brought on. What made Pedro pick him over Rossiter who has at least had some good first team game time and is patently far fitter and more capable of chasing down and helping to minimise the effect of 10 v 11. I just don't see what Pedro was hoping to achieve by that substitution. The only explanation I can think of is he wanted Pena to experience first hand the 'feel' of a Scottish game that was going badly and to feel the intensity of pressure from the Support and to see first hand the sort of way teams are going to play against Rangers so that when he came off the pitch he was part of the team that experienced first hand the pressure of playing for Rangers. The point being to get him more mentally tuned to what is to be expected in games when he is fit enough to be considered for a starting position in the team. I'm only guessing. I've not seen any explanation from the manager in post match stuff about why he brought Pena on. weshallnotbemoved!, AndoBien and jintybear like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VladimirWeiss69 631 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I still think he could offer us something once up to speed, today was not the game to throw someone lacking in match fitness on while we are struggling eejay the dj, LaudrupsPatrickBoots and AndoBien like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RangersScotty9 255 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I personally have a different perspective on Peña and his performance, I thought he did well to track back and even at one point dived in for a few challenges to win the ball back showing signs that he is the box to box player. There were also moments you could see him linking in midfield to pass and looking to get forward and even attempted a 1-2 that nearly pulled off as well as won us the free kick, he also looked like he had a bit of pace when he did chase back, don't get me wrong there were spells he slowed up. Perhaps the only negative I saw of him was out wide he should've went for the ball rather than hesitated. I like him personally, I think he looks a good player and can't wait to see him when he's properly up to speed and playing in a Rangers team with 11 men on the park, hopefully this is the start to him getting games so he can get up to match fitness and he should become a good player. eejay the dj and AndoBien like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MDYT2 93 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 i honestly could not believe my eyes watching him the day. I have never seen a Rangers player that out of place in my life. I hope it is just a serious lack of fitness Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murty 209 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Strange decision for Pedro to bring him on when he did. The guy actually doesn't even look like a footballer, the way he moves, the way he stands with the ball at his feet etc. There was two times where he just slowed an attack right down and actually stopped dead and looked around for somewhere to kick the ball to. We've bought an absolute dud I fear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ibroxholm 1,753 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Thought it was a bit unfair to bring him on today given the situation we were in. Thought Rossiter should have been on asap after Jack sent off to shore up our midfield. When Pena burst through at the end, I thought he made a meal of it. However, the referee gave a foul which, if he saw it that way, should have meant the Hibs CB sent off as it was definite goal scoring opportunity. Referee wasn't up to it, the entire game he was out of his depth. ianferguson likes this Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We've bought an absolute dud I fear. No way is this guy a dud. Will he adapt to our league is a reasonable question but he has loads of ability , lets give him some time. Pedro said he would wait till the right time before he was introduced, by fu* it's a worry if he thinks 1-3 down with ten men is a good time.

CoatbridgeBear 6,598 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 He didn't look 'atrocius' at all he looked rusty, and it was a good touch to take him through before the foul and a reckon he would've scored if he wasn't fouled. magic8ball, LaudrupsPatrickBoots and Skyson1872 like this Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Far from ideal circumstances today, but I saw a player who showed glimpses of what he could give us. Indeed, he looks promising and the more fitness he gets the more he should shine, I'd fancy seeing him get time on against Hearts at some stage. Rangers now must learn from this, pick themselves up, keep a cool head, get out there and hammer into Hearts. The time to fight back to prove we can challenge this season is now and it must start from this Hearts game, this for me is a decider on that because as far as I'm concerned, we were controlling that game until the red and I don't so much blame the defence as such for conceding 2 but having 3 at the back whilst there was always going to be the risk of them having the extra man. He does look a promising player though, he looks the type of player who won't just rush in foolishly, saw a glimpse of that when he stopped the ball just outside their box and was looking to create the 1-2 chance. Even his move out wide, dying to see him play to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
