CoplandRoad83 3,034 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Watch him go now. Flashes tonight, but his directness and ability is clear. He adds a different dimension to us. Hasn't played a lot of football but again he rises to the occasion to cause bother. Never afraid of the big stage. Slight niggle, improve shooting because he gets into great positions. But his talent is clearly huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIBlue 24 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Delighted to see him turn in a good performance considering he’s not played much football since the summer break. Hope he gets up to full fitness soon, his spark and creativity are vital to the team - his pass to Barisic for the goal was superb and is a great example of what stats don’t show you.

TMB 14,167 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 He’s a handful for opposition defenders. He likes running at people and has the ability to go past them. He’s far more dangerous than Barker, Ojo, or Jones, IMO. The lad just needs to add some end product to his game but the talent is clearly there. He’s really passionate about Rangers, he wants to succeed here, and I think he will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cristiano Ronaldo had to work on end product at one time as well - if he can end up half as good we'll have some player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanksRFC 3,830 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Game dramatically changed when him and barker went off, says a lot. Clearly not match sharp but a great touch to setup our equaliser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamess 3,263 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 His first interview when he signed he mentioned working on his lack of end product. This for me is what I will be monitoring. The downfall of many a fancy footed footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxi 10,591 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I think he often tries to over-do things. Will receive the ball in the box and will try to do an extra flick or lay the ball off an extra time when he should just get a snap shot off. Probably why he doesn't get enough goals as well. Still a huge player for us though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 19,220 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Thought he was brilliant tonight. Could see him tiring a bit in the second half but he really is a quality player. Very lucky to have him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 29,571 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 He didn’t have a great game but he showed why we paid £7m for him. He is a fantastic outlet at that level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behave. 7.5m for a couple of touches, Ojo has been slated for similar performances. This is nonsense, Ojo dreams about being capable of touches like that one that sent Barisic down the wing for the goal He was a big part in our goal, put in a good shift and won the ball an awful lot in advanced areas. He was very good tonight and one of the reasons why we controlled the game for long spells Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final ball constantly was woeful. Have a word with yourself! He certainly needs to work on final ball and add more goals but his pace, trickery and directness is a massive asset to the team. He's also two footed. Not many players in the game are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s clearly not fully fit, extremely harsh to compare him to Ojo who is fully fit but has decided not to kick his own arse for at least a couple of months. Overall he wasn’t great, but he still helped set up our equaliser and got us up the pitch a few times, that’s certainly more than I can say Ojo has done recently. Also we spent 7.5m so he can play for us throughout the season, not just for one match so giruy imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebell82 236 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Ryan Kent is going to produce flashes of brilliance and be frustrating and inconsistent in equal measure. Not seen enough of Barker, but he's obviously got something about him if he was at Man City and showed what he can do tonight. I like the look of Jordan Jones - very direct but again will be inconsistent. Ojo has ability but prob needs some time on the bench but will contribute with a few goals and assists this season. The contribution of these 4 players will be massive this season, and can see us interchanging between them all throughout the season. Chuck Stewart into the mix and it gives us some good options going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
