He was put on the left back aye, but he wasn’t being used the same way Walter used Lafferty at all. When he played out left it was on the left of a midfield 4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

josmc 246 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I honestly thought he had a decent game. Obviously right wing isn’t his ideal position, but he linked the play up and put in a shift. I’m quite happy to have him to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think he'll come good for us, maybe into next season or so, I've seen worse Rangers strikers in my time, the buff is the main man right now but things change and I've high hope's for him, just some of his touches and link play make me think he'll be decent.

He needs to be central in the front 3 for us and it seems like Morelos and him aren't going to be able to play together, so it's one or the other and play Roofe or Hagi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When he played out left it was on the left of a midfield 4. I never said Itten was being used the same way Walter used Lafferty. I said Gerrard used Lafferty in a particular way when he first came back to Rangers. It might've been Gerrard's first Old Firm game where Lafferty was stuck wide left on the Celtic RB and we were using him as an out ball for 90mins which was largely ineffective. Itten was being used in that same way today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mafeking St. 262 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 FWIW.. I thought big Itten was good today, if we are going to use more high balls on a pitch like that Itten was good on the front line. He won plenty of high balls in the first half, way more than Alfie or Kent just because of his height. A good move by the gaffer to start him. Off to Lisbon now and oddly Benfica do not play until Monday night, gives them one day less rest than us. Every little bit helps I suppose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think he will turn out to be quite a good player for us if he is played in the centre of the 3 Said it in another thread during the week, I would play him in european games and keep Morelos for the league mostly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But you could see by the number of crosses from open play we wanted him to tuck in, especially when Barisic had the ball. I also think he was utilised so he could win the balls in the air and nod onto Morelos, as opposed to Morelos jumping for a ball with nobody in behind (as we naturally play with narrow inside forwards). At times he picked the ball up in what he'd think is an unnatural position, but I still think he coped well with it. Swally likes this Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BridgeIsBlue 57,424 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Play him through the middle and he'll get us goals like we seen at Fir Park, though I could see what we're trying to do today, he was much better in the 2nd half and held the ball up really well at times.
