Raskin

[CR3 12,856]

His form has fell off a cliff. Looked like exactly what we needed a wee while ago. 

[RM Monitor And Standards Officer 112,813]

Him and cifuentes look Absolutley fucking lost

future captain people call him

Remember reading the fans from his previous team when he left and the 2 most common things said about him were “ thinks he’s better than he is and” never turns up for big games”  that sums him up

[BouncyBluenose87 1,595]

Played the excellent role of an empty shirt last night. Contributed hee haw. Hopefully not an encore of his performance on Sunday.

[Smile 26,624]

The game passed him and Cifuentes by but Cifuentes should never have started against PSV as he went missing in the home game.

Is our coaching just shite?  We don't half seem to bring in decent players, gradually turn them into puddings, and then move them on where they start playing well again (well, some of them).

I don’t know if I’ve ever really seen it with him to begin with tbh.

he’s done ok in flashes but this potential new captain and Chelsea bound midfielder hasn’t really covered himself in glory 

[the brown brogue 1,961]

Can't remember him having a good 90 minutes for us, shows up in flashes but puts us under pressure with his sloppy passing and failure to track the opposition. Don't think he's disciplined enough to play as a deep lying midfielder covering the defence but also don't think he's got enough about him attacking wise to play further forward or box-to-box. In saying that, can't be easy to play in a Beale side with his increasingly baffling tactics and 'style'.

Squaring up to PSV players at FT last night.

Where was that energy and toughness during the 90m, you wee dick. 

[Boybluesy 4,047]

The midfield were awful.  I include Lundstram in that. Cantwell was trying but was pish as well.  Cifuentes, Raskin and Lundstram should all have been hooked at half-time.

[BlueSuedeSambas 56,378]

Flakey as fuck and gets an easier ride than several other players would if they were as inconsistent as he is.

[AGM_72 4,059]

Listened to the H&H summary of the game earlier and was surprised they were so baffled that Raskin was subbed. My only surprise was that he didn't sub Cifuentes at the same time, both were poor across the two legs.

You could argue that the shift they're being instructed to put in off the ball (which they don't seem capable of doing) hampered their ability to show any composure on the ball, but not sure if that's being kind or not.

[McEwan's Lager 32,052]

He’s very inexperienced and it shows.

Beale trying to play Cifuentes as some sorta hybrid RB come CDM/CM, no wonder he looked lost.

[Moody Blue Legend 63,375]

From what I watched in that first half, couldn’t watch anymore as it was inevitable, he was like a wee boy against men.  Not just him.

[Laudrupsleftfoot 12,215]

He was poor and outmuscled a few times but I’m going to wait until Sunday before throwing him under the bus.

Still has plenty in the bank imo.

Ryan Jack with an exotic name.

[6superbarry6 14,614]

Sell him if there is any interest and bring in a proper no 6

We play some turgid football at times grinding out results and even when it can be 3 or 4 nil at the end the majority has been dull. Along comes what seems a half decent player and before he has even contributed to a significant event such as winning a cup they are lauded, talked about as going for 15 Million or player of the year before their eventual slide into just another player who shows it in flashes.

Our tactics seem to consist of spending more than the rest of the SPL barring them and hoping that will win us games. Sadly those tactics seem to involve a lot of crosses. 

[bluenoz 32,412]

The wee man needs to stand on the ball. It is like a hot potato to him right now. 

He is a good player with a good engine in there. He just needs to calm the fuck down.

[Moody Blue 10,005]

PSV’s midfield had power, pace, movement, good touches, moving the ball quickly, constantly creating space for themselves and a bit of ‘gallusness’ (I know it’s not a word but you know exactly what I mean). Our midfielders don’t do any of that.  There is no structure to what we do but Raskin was like a wee boy last night, chasing shadows and doing fuck all constructive. 

[MacBoyd 6,068]

He had a bad night but he's not helped by that fool changing his and most other players positions every game. He's a player.

[Laudrupsleftfoot 12,215]

Needs an arm around the shoulder and a re-set.

[STEPPS BOY 77,493]

We’re trying to play him the way Kamara did when it’s not his position.

He would be a good player under a proper manager.

Won't go down well on here, but Raskin is not capable of the performances Kamara delivered in Europe.
