RockwellGers 14,676 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I didn't see the game today, but when I saw Defoe was starting I was really hoping he would quickly prove his value yet again and score. He did, and just saw the goal - what a touch! Many times the guy has wowed me with a first touch, an absolute joy to watch and he has been an excellent asset to the club in his time here. That was his 300th career goal today as well, well done son. Love the guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat 4,511 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Yes, he is a special player and still has a lot to offer the squad. Seems to genuinely love being at Rangers and will score more vital goals in the weeks and months ahead I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim1690 4,534 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Can just imagine the advice he'll be passing on to Itten and Roofe as well, what a signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5 2,106 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 The 2nd world class goal in a matter of days for us. That goal today was an absolute gem. A goal that very few could score with such nonchalance. What a way to hit 300!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 He took his goal well but I'd rather game time was given to Itten or Roofe rather than a guy who is destined to retire at the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored so it clearly was a good decision. Itten and Roofe will get in about it soon enough I think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthranger 3,855 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 He’s fine against the cannon fodder, especially at Ibrox. Hopefully one of Roofe/Morelos/Itten steps up for the other games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was our top goalscorer in the league last season with minimal gametime, he starts again he scores what's not to like. Itten and Roofe both played.

I think he'll be here longer. I think Gerrard feels he's ideal for matches like today. For me he's the best finisher we have, as his goal today proved. I doubt Itten or Roofe are scoring that. I reckon Gerrard feels if teams are going to park the bus we might only get a few clear chances, or be restricted to shots outside the box. Makes sense in that situation to have someone like Defoe who can finish like that. It turned out a bit different today int he end. Besides, everyone will have a big role to play this season.

Number5 2,106 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I think he earns his wage as much around the training field and in the dressing room as he does on the pitch. You can see the relationships he builds and I imagine, from what we hear, the way he trains and carries himself is exemplary and sets the standard. Still banging them in. There's definitely games where he can do a job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We blew our entire summer transfer budget on two new strikers. We currently have 4 strikers and we play a one striker formation. Itten and Roofe need the game time because they’re the future of this club. As I said, I like Defoe but at 38 he’s retiring at the end of this season and should only be played when the others are unavailable IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
