Absolutely great talent. Never a center half, but a battling central midfielder? yes please. Even McInnes' spent his post match interview raving about him. While I agree McCrorie is a player wouldn't listen to a thing McInnes has to say Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He failed to control the simplest of balls numerous occasions, first touch terrible and gave away a needless corner which resulted in the penalty. 2nd half he was better, when he drove forward with the ball but think some are getting carried away. No, exactly what I thought came in here and he's the next Gerrard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
port_bear 86 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I must have been watching a different game last night to everyone else, I thought he was sub standard at best. I lost count the number of times he got caught on the ball or gave possession away and don't get me started on his first touch. One of the first things you're taught as a kid is how to trap the ball at your feet or control a pass, at least 3 times I watched him try this only for the ball to run under his foot. Rarely goes looking for the ball, and when he has it he never drives forward with the ball always looking to get rid of it, either sideways or back. plumbGER, gazza27 and sassaaaa 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
port_bear 86 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Ok so most in here are raving about McCrorie last night .. Someone can maybe answer this question for me .. If McCrorie (our holding defensive midfielder) had such an outstanding game, how come McLean (their attacking midfielder) had some much time and space to run the show and eventually get the sponsors man of the match?

Man of the matches mean fuck all lol. Probably would have got it anyway if he didn’t score cause it was his last game for them. He definitely didn’t run the show at all. McCrorie dragged us out a hole again and played very well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope you watched the same game as us and everyone has said he has flaws, first touch, concentration. Everyone has said he needs lots of hard work and better coaching How you can blame him for not knowing that when he conceded a corner that the Ref was going to be a prick and give a pen that never was is rather stupid.

He is every bit a centre half playing out of position in midfield, partly because he isn't good enough for centre half. I like Ross but people are getting far too carried away with his performances when shifted forward, he has a lot of learning to do if he wants to kick on and make that position his own. Can't fault the boys effort and commitment though, he is streets ahead of most in that regard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that is a kind of a decent point. Although we were up against it in the first half so a bit unfair to pin that on McCrorie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First touch again mate. Althought a fair few seemed to be having trouble as well. Thing is he is a young lad with loads of potential, plus the drive and fight needed he already has in buckets, the technical stuff can be worked on. Im going to bet that this time next season McCrorie will be a far far better player after a season under Gerrard. Trooblue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBearButt 3,748 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 He was probably the best of a bad bunch. He stood out mainly for his work rate and endeavour rather than real quality though. All things considered he has potential but would be nowhere near a starting space in a decent Rangers team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be first name in midfield for me, unfortunate he will miss game at Easter Road. Likes of Candieas touch was shocking aswell last night. Park seemed to be in decent nick albeit the grass seemed a bit long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamMunny 3,309 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 He has been out injured for a good while and played at central defence as soon as he came back. Played in the middle last couple games and he looked far better there although still a bit rusty. Some people are being overly critical of him... yet again. Do you really expect him to be perfect after a long injury and for someone who is only 19? Give him a run there throughout pre-season and next season and he will grow and learn to be a very good player there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronniemca 479 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 As a defensive midfielder if you are running about making last ditch tackles and sliding around on your arse ,as well as treating the ball like hot tottieyou aint doing it right I'm afraid.That position is all about reading the game,positioning,composure on the ball and controlling the tempo of play.Get yourself a Bousquets video Ross and learn.

ZZed 4,510 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 He is young and improving, still to put on a bit of muscle and work on his skills. I think he needs to try a few positions to see what fits with him once he has matured a bit. I think he has the potential that Gerrard can work with and improve him.
