He has been - but, are we a better team for it, or is it just that the quality has dropped that far that even a decent but quite limited young player looks good? He looks tenacious and he’s keeping it neat and tidy but that’s really about it. Rangers_no1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Specky Forum Organiser 69,502 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I like what I've seen. His effort and application will make him a fans favourite pretty quickly. As things stand he's a starter, thought he tried to force things a bit too much today. We're currently relying too heavily on him as things stand. rbt1548, BlueJacketRFC and Loyal-Bear 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid has no intention of being a back up, he's out to nail down a starting jersey. And on the preseason so far he's one of very few who's doing enough to do so.

bluenoz 32,410 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I thought he was really good in patches but faded in and out of the game. Two great tackles and a few overstretched passes. Perhaps Man U caught on because Diomande faded a bit as well after a tremendous half an hour. However, those two will be mainstays in the team and the least of our worries.

Against them one went, the other covered, and vice versa and as a pairing they seemed to complement each other. Today man utd 3rd string didn't need to try too hard and could have drove buses through our central midfield. Actually think they're our best 2 in a 4231, just not convinced they're good enough against better savvier teams. bluenoz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barron is the type of player I thought Raskin could become. I think he will be a star in the league - in the games you need to grind out. He's still young and learning and I'm sure he will. Yes, he may struggle a bit in Europe. However, I think both are great signings. HG5 and kelvd1873 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrenalin was probably pumping as it was his first Rangers game in front of a big ‘home’ crowd (57k) so I reckon he will have been (over) eager to please. One of the few to walk away with any credit today. I thought Yilmaz looked quite lively when he came on and Sterling was fairly solid. The rest were utter shite.

GA1972 10,309 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Just makes it more frustrating we aren’t just going after some of the other best players in our league.

Take Dessers off and bring on Danilo I know you're far from Dessers biggest fan but we were chasing a goal so I would have took off Lawrence and brought on Danilo to play alongside Dessers as a front two. Actually couldn't believe Lawrence lasted the full 90. Nothing to lose changing it up but our manager is so rigid in his tactics and formation. Warburton used to get slated for saying plan B is doing plan A better but back then we at least knew what plan A was. With Clement I haven't a clue what we're supposed to be doing apart from long balls up front and hoping for the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPWF 8,917 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Was decent without being outstanding today. Promising signs that he’ll be a good player for us.

It was basically a wasted substitution We seem completely unable to play balls through the middle aswell. All of our build up play comes from out wide and anytime we have the ball central our players just seem to run head on into defenders Jamie0202 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
