Rangers_no1 32,468 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Why are some people totally ignoring his poor positional sense today? He let Anthony freaking Ralston run behind him twice, if not for a McGregor wonder save one would have resulted in Bassey playing a huge part in another goal lost. He also let Maeda run in beside him twice that should have cost a goal. Their Greek striker missed a good chance from a header in the first half, who was builled in that aerial challenge? Bassey! He could have easily played a big part in us losing 5 goals today. Immense, outstanding, got Jota subbed early, never bullied though and never lost a single duel(Jota ripped him and played a great cross in)...

LOL A fair chunk of those chances were late on in the second half when we pushed on. The McGregor run was ridiculous and he deserves criticism for it, granted. He did, as a defensive player, create our only big game pass and deserves credit for that. Certainly not the worst player and handled Jota fairly well after a bit of a dodgy start defensively. Chasing the game at HT our fullbacks weren't the issue. falkirkNS, beararse, HG5 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidorrp 282 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 He wasn’t great today, but he was one of our better performers. People are going on about taking out McGregor before first goal. But McGregor first touch takes him past Ramsey who should have done better and then McGregor skips past Lundstrum poor challenge which puts him inside of Bassy at that point. Including Bassy That’s 3 opportunities to stop McGregor. It’s a huge problem for me with this team that we constantly let players run past us without taking a cheap foul and decking them. School boy stuff. And remember also that the two centre half’s got caught on their heels several times with that baldy striker they have. Boy wasn’t the best but by no means the worst either. I’d looks to our more experienced defenders before pointing finger of blame at lad. JograBear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,722 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 He wasn't chased down by McGregor and called a shitebag whilst being exactly that. Which is what our shitebag would likely have offered us today. falkirkNS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree pretty much with almost all this apart from something that does my nut in with our fullbacks, wingers, sakala etc, they never look up and look to see whos in the box, just throw it in there and hope it comes off, We did that against malmo at home and it fucking infuriated me, just cross after cross into a box with one man vs 3 defenders SeparateEntityMyArse, HG5 and AGM_72 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ultimately I’m not 100% sure he’s actually very good at football. Ramsey, Lundstram and Bassey could have cut out the McGregor run but after all that McGregor should have easily saved shot ,no way was Bassey the biggest culprit. sassaaaa and Sunglasses Ron 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether others could have avoided it, the goal was 100% Bassey’s to prevent. He was wrong side of McGregor, then made the bold (but ultimately stupid) decision not to foul him and attempt to regain the position (which he couldn’t do). Whole situation doesn’t arise if he either stands in the right place or does the right thing. I like Bassey, but the goal is his fault. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's likely far better. Just not at the club, and not who will come in and improve us for no transfer fee. Freebies, develop, punt for profit is the business model we're headed towards so unfortunately we best get used to this level of inconsistent / inexperienced player.

GOAT 30,449 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Lundstrum is the only player that deserves pass marks. ramsey was decent aswell, no idea why he was took off. falkirkNS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven33jackie 1,920 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 He looks out if position for the first goal but the reality is that Lundstram should of stopped McGregor before he got to the box. falkirkNS and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another factor why Bassey is the main culprit for me, is he runs away from Rogic just as the shot is taking place, had he went towards him he could have made a challenge to stop him scoring.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Bassey is a big hope for the future. Nobody can doubt his work rate or what he brings to team going forward.
