Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 There is some dispute about the amount of cards and suspensions that KT picks up but would you have him any other way? We need someone who can try and control the middle of the park, and fight for every ball, yes at times this can come across as being overly aggressive and because of this he picks up cards which leads to suspensions but it could be a lot worse if all of our players wouldn't tackle.

docspiderman 1,310 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 He lacks the pace, movement and awareness to play any other way and if he was hooked to avoid being sent off in a friendly then it would appear he lacks the basic common sense,instinct and ability to take on the role of midfield leader. Nothing wrong with putting in strong challenges but too often he gets into trouble with niggly fouls and desperation tackles because he is too slow and on the wrong side of opponents.

papaguy51 941 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I don't think I would. We already have one defensive midfielder who doesn't tackle in Hemdani, two would be a disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBoyBlue 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 He is the only player in our midefield with the guts to challange a 50-50 ball. He puts his foot in and leaves a mark on the opposition. Class player. He just needs an attacking option beside him who can play off his challanges. Dont change Thomo - you're the only bit of grit we have!

Hopefully in time like Roy Keane in his prime, he will of already won the midfield battle before the match has kicked off because the other team no they will get no rest on the ball and will be hit hard when they have it.

AdzKyle 8,620 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Its not the bookings for bad challenges that irritates me, i luv the way he tackles. Its the stupid bookings for dissent and kicking the ball away that end up costing him suspensions. I dont want him to change the way he plays but he has to cut out the "silly bookings" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a very accurate summation doc. IMO Thomson had a decent season, no more no less. It beats me how so many people can go overboard about a player who couldn't lace the boots of the vast majority of midfielders we've had at Rangers.

It beats me how so many people can go overboard about a player who couldn't lace the boots of the vast majority of midfielders we've had at Rangers. Both correct viewpoints. Thomson gets booked far too often and is too slow, with little creativity or vision. Works very hard and gets torn in but so does Novo. He is ok, decent, but far from great.
