Hadron Collider 30,765 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Early days, but I don’t see Roofe as the answer here for us so far. Fitness question. Needs to sharpen up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Hedgehog 10,673 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Rangers are dominating games. Scoring goals, not as many as I would like but it’s early. Conceding none and the bonus is we give so little away. We can improve no doubts about it so that’s a good sign as we are top of the league and the tinks are under pressure to win the games in hand. Just wish Gerrard would let them off the leash a bit more instead of slowing it down. I keep thinking someone is in for a drubbing but the way we ease off you can’t thrash anyone doing that. Onward and upward I say 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedrick 8,048 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Tell ye something I’ve had no scope to comment on the constant battering tav gets on his lack of shouting and geeing on the pitch being the captain , it’s hard to tell at the games , every time the camera goes on him watching through the current set up he’s on at somebody Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebell82 243 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Clearly we should have won by more goals today, but a wins a win as they say. Pity Defoe isn't fit, he'd have bagged a couple today with the chances on offer. Roofe doesn’t quite look match sharp yet, but think he will come good. Overall can't complain about our start to the season. Our results are relative to what they do, if they score 5 tomorrow, today suddenly seems a missed opportunity. However if they slip up , today is a great win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_4 34,347 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Feels like we’re still playing preseason. So comfortable and minimal pressure. We’re just closing games out at 2-0 like Mourinho at Chelsea the first season. Goals win games, defences win titles. Need to be more clinical, but think it will come. Squad is shaping up nicely but need another CM and a Barker replacement. And a CF if Morelos goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roofe doesn't look like an out and out forward, certainly not the most comfortable finishing chances. A replacement for Davis is a far bigger issue. We need someone with real quality in there who can move the ball around quicker. Davis just slows everything down and won't even chase back when he losses the ball. Davis was the best man on the park first half - poor second half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do think he was making a point with Morelos by not bringing him on. Ho-hum last 60min but enough to keep me happy for a swally tonight. Aye that's good man management - complained about his lack of effort at training so left him out the squad last week, said a big improvement this week so back in the squad then makes a pure cunt of him by leaving him on the bench, especially when everyone could see Roofe was struggling ( was going to say rotten but decided to say struggling ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To some extent the power was slightly with Morelos before as he was scoring and we had no other options so he was always likely to play. Now we've won two on the trot without him in the side and have other options. He needs to understand what side his bread is buttered and knuckle down. He could easily have replaced Roofe with him at the end but I liked the way he kept him on the bench to be honest. I think a full 90 for Roofe is important as he's not had much football in recent months. He did look shattered but it will help him in the long run. Like I said on another post fuckin great man management - wonder if it was 0 - 0 he'd have left the Buff on the bench Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the treatment of players is to stay consistent and the buffalo was in Gerrards opinion rightly left out the squad last week then he should have been on for a honking Roofe the 60/65th minute yesterday , waiting till the 85th minute then bringing on Stuart who Gerrard doesn’t rate, isn’t clever it’s absolute shite patter and man management Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
