beararse 6,885 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Cyriel Dessers has been focus of the fans’ frustrations and there are countless posts, recycled blogs and social media comments about how he’s barely scored more than 10 goals in any season etc etc. This (mis)informs the wide spread opinion that he’s awful and as someone recently put it on RM…..’he’s utter dug shite’. So I decided to look up his career goals and goal involvements v’s minutes played and compare these with the best Rangers strikers from recent memory and the results paint a rather surprising picture. If we compare Dessers’ career tally with Alfredo Morelos, Kemar Roofe, Jermaine Defoe, Kris Boyd, Kenny Miller, Dado Prso & Nikita Jelavic he actually has the best career goal return and is the 2nd best when you include assists. The numbers are as follows: Dessers = 139.45 mins per goal/101.5 mins per goal involvement Morelos = 140.60mins per goal/100.02 mins per goal involvement Boyd = 149.01 mins per goal/126.65 mins per goal involvement Defoe = 164.61 mins per goal/138 mins per goal involvement Jelavic =179.56 mins per goal/128.7 mins per goal involvement Roofe = 203.95 mins per goal/142.77 mins per goal involvement Prso = 211.11 mins per goal/177.18 mins per goal involvement Miller = 219.07 mins per goal/162.48 mins per goal involvement Dessers might not have the grace of Jelavic, the composure of Defoe, the speed of Miller, the aggression of Morelos, the memorable strikes of Boyd, the industry of Prso or the penalty box instincts of Roofe, but so far, in his career, he’s more prolific than all of them. Food for thought. Now i’m not saying I’d choose Dessers over any of the others, but he’s clearly not shite if he has a better strike record than all of them. So rather than pilling on top of him, let’s get behind the lad.

sandyboyblue 227 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 As they say :There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics” I certainly hope the boy comes good, he’s been given a fresh start under a new manager, he better start proving us wrong pretty quickly.

BlueSuedeSambas 56,383 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Dessers stats are always going to look more impressive when the sample size being compared is what 10-15 games in comparison to guys who played tens, if not hundreds, more games for the club.

No sure what your point is. Dessers is still better than the 3 of them and will probably score more than the 3 of them combined.
