Rum Ham 2,060 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Silva dropping deep created space for us to score tonight. Playing him deeper will just create the same problem against teams playing a low block for the majority of the game. Striker in a 433 coming to be an extra man to retrieve it from the cbs is a dynamic that worked, and silva played it well. plymouthranger, NI and MillwallLoyal 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,510 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 He was good as the 9 last night his issue was that bar an explosion from Cantwell, him, Matondo and McCausland were murder and not on the same wavelength as Silva. He looks good. I think he’ll start on Saturday with Lawrence in behind plymouthranger and OrangeRab 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeRab 2,764 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Hibs were very open. Real test (not just for him but our front 3) will be tighter pitches against the low block Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangersross 6,530 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Now the window's shut, it's clear that we'll need him to make a big contribution. He's done pretty well for PSV and Anderlecht previously. Fingers crossed he becomes a big player for us in the coming weeks. plymouthranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,909 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I still don't understand why he didn't play against St Mirren. If we win the league, he will have a big part to play. dee9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is he isn’t an out and out striker which is what we wanted, but tbf to the guy he’s literally said he isn’t that MacBoyd 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win the league, he will have a big part to play. Might have had a niggle or a bug, or PC might have just looked at the conditions and went it’s not for him. The fact that we had Sterling in the Lee McCulloch left wing role probably shows he just picked a side to win the battle. Sure he will come good.

goaaaal 946 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I thought he played well today showed good variety in his play from his attempts at goal from the touch for his overhead kick and putting swerve on the ball a few times when he went for goal. Clements post match interview on Snyde seemed a bit strange not so much criticism but highlighting what the player needs to work on overall I thought he had a good game today. scottyscott1963 and plymouthranger 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people have said this on here but what is the quote or preferably link to the interview? He has played centre forward for most of his career so far and it's the only position Clement has played him in a Rangers shirt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he said was he’s not a traditional no.9 in terms of just standing upfront waiting on crosses/passes for opportunities on goal. He basically stated he likes to be involved in all aspects of the play. Meaning he can do it all. He’s definitely a striker and a good one at that. A worrying number of people on this forum have no idea about football. Absolutely clueless. Does my head in ayrshireranger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
