BridgeIsBlue 66,600 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Still early days obviously but for me the difference in Aribo already from last season is night and day, 2 or 3 players in front of him and I'm convinced he's dancing through them everytime Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amokachi 2,990 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 McLaughlin has been impressive, huge relief that we have a v competent back up. Aribo & Helander have both bulked up somewhat & look far mor robust & ready for this league. Barker looks to have found his feet & with his turn of pace will do us a few favours. Goldson has been the pick of early season until last night when his concentration deserted him a few times. Early signs are good however for me we are still badly in need a single minded, experienced, powerhouse, absolute c**t of a midfielder to manage the game & the players on & off the park.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,620 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Aribo the stand out player. Borna and Goldson have been strong. McLaughlin and Balogun excellent for new arrivals. Gerrard for getting them drilled and focused, and for getting a positive reaction from Morelos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essandoh 21,193 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Aribo Kent and Barisic have been really good but we already knew what they’re capable of Aribo looks to have improved physically, mentally and his close control just seems to continue to excel - this guy will be a special player for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Williamson. 82,009 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Aribo and Barisic are the obvious two I've expressed how overrated I think he's been in the past but Kamara impressed me last night.

WilliamMunny 3,218 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 New signings Balogun and McLaughlin look like very good additions and have added good competition. Existing players Aribo and Kent have improved and added more to their game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmcf 34,090 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Highlights :- I've criticised Goldson so much in the past but he's been solid so far this season. Kent looks more the players we knew he was and made us fork out big bucks for him . Aribo is just class right now and a joy to watch . Says a lot for Jon McLaughlin that we don't worry anymore should AMcG being out for any reason . He could even save us a fortune when the big man calls it a day . Cant emphasise enough how important Barisic is to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPPS BOY 73,801 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Kent 2 goals in 3 games. Barasic being a rolls royce. Still worry that we are to nice a team. 3-0 up in past two games, even Aberdeen away we had ideal opportunity to bury them and lay down a marker but i’m still to be convinced that we have players with that killer instinct. Appreciate subs played a big part but these guys (Roofe and Itten exempt) should be bursting a gut to impress the manager too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he goes on to get 15 minimum. Hagi has had an indifferent start, was expecting goals from him this season so fingers crossed things improve from him. Throw Roofe, Itten, Buff and Aribo in there and we should have more genuine threats from open play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky. 6,923 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Looking good across the park. Thing is, we are a good football team. We have naturally good players that maybe we don’t appreciate as much when they don’t bring home some silverware - which as Rangers fans we are absolutely right to demand. What we are watching now is football in its purest form. One team versus another without any other factor impacting the game. No fans, no atmosphere just head down and play. As a result we are starting to see pure football. Goldson, Barisic, Aribo, Balogun, Kamara, Kent just to name a few are shining. Plenty of others too to be honest, think Helander in the small part he has played has looked monstrous. We criticised him for being slow but my god he was rapid last night when tracking their substitute who looked clean through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
