I think he's sending a message to Morelos, perform well in training and have a good attitude or you won't get to play. When we heard Alf was in the squad and before we knew if he'd start or not I said I would hope this exact thing would happen. I said I hope he's not starting, and I hope he's left on the bench in the hope that might start a wee fire in his belly. Looks like Gerrard was thinking along the same lines.

This is where Gerrard has got it totally wrong ,whether we think it’s right or wrong , the majority us fine know you do that to the buff on Saturday he’ll try less , it’s just the way he is , I could be wrong but I don’t see him being the kind of lad to react positively to be left on the bench when his replacement was having a howler, 60 65 mins bring him on for roofe, maybe get himself a goal then at least there’s a chance he might kick on , Gerrard handled it totally wrong on Saturday in my opinion, if roofe was having a great game fair enough but to bring him off 85th and bring on another lad Gerrard can’t stick , certainly ain’t going to start getting the best out the buff again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldson made far fewer mistakes and spent plenty of time and effort covering Katic....and I'm one of those that thinks Katic has a big future if he can tober his inconsistency and improve his positional sense.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 He's certainly not been our worse player so far this Season. I also think he deserved to keep his place in the side after his performance against Kilmarnock. In the same way he doesn't deserve to keep it after his performance on Saturday.

Morelos knows there are teams interested in him and there's a feeling its just a matter of time before an acceptable bid lands. Leaving him out and leaving him on the bench isn't going to spark any positive reaction when his bags are already packed waiting. All its going to do is end his Rangers career with a bitter taste.

Blues Brother 1,115 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I don’t think anyone has to be labelled the worst player. It’s so negative on here quite often. We have had a good start to the season. With bigger tests around the corner I’d rather keep a positive mindset. The next 5 games are massive, with 3 of them tough away games.

I agree However, I'd also say Barker's only chance of being a decent footballer is if he takes Estrogen, turns his barnet into a pony tail (almost became one during a football match anyway) and joins the woman's game.
