McEwan's Lager 30,519 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Don’t think he’s got nearly enough praise on here or elsewhere over his performance last night. Focus has only been on the eventual winner but it wasn’t just the one world class ball he put in, he put in a good few more last night. I’m sure guys like Mark Hateley or Dado Prso would be watching him thinking fuck me i’d have loved him out wide in my team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersMedia 35,961 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I've said a few times on here, he's our best technical player along with Kamara and Hagi. The composure and ability to keep the ball under intense pressure is remarkable and he's a left back, not a midfielder like the other two. The cross in the first half straight on to Roofe's head which he headed into the ground, was just as impressive as the one in the second half. I would like to think Itten, when we give him game time, could get on the end of some of those crosses. Roofe looks garbage aerially and Morelos is decent with his movement but doesn't have the height to power above defenders the way Itten should be capable of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,809 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 It was some cross and header. Borna is worth a lot of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMB 14,167 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Borna gets plenty of praise. Start a thread asking people who our best player is and he’ll be at the top of it or thereabouts. He’s the best attacking LB we’ve had since Numan. I wouldn’t be surprised if a team put a massive bid in at some point. His quality wont be going unnoticed.

McEwan's Lager 30,519 Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Not since Albertz in his very early Rangers career at LWB have we had a player who can just whip balls in like this for fun. I feel that even Numan wasn’t this consistently good at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs a game where his first few touches come off and he starts to believe in himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,801 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Amazing what that free kick at St Mirren did for him. Was gutted when it appeared initially it wasn't going to work out especially after he impressed against us for Osijek. But after that, he's been superb. Said last night but he's the best crosser I've seen at the club since McCann and there's a good argument he's better. Love him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
