TexasGers 96 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 but don't pretend like he doesn't have any talent at all. If he has talent then Im yet to see it. Did you not see that cracking, yet, in depth post from the American on here a few weeks ago? he told you exactly what Beasleys problems were and he admitted he hardly ever turns it on for America aswell. I know who I believe. He's pish. You can believe who you want, all I know is I've watched almost every game he's played for the US and he stands out most of the time for me, and I would say that even if he played for some other country. The US has plenty of other options for the left wing, but Beasley is consistently chosen over others because of what he offers and how he plays. Alot of the times I wonder whether the Ibrox DMB is the same player as the USA DMB because his performances for the US are of a much higher quality than some of his performances for Rangers. You can put that on the coaching, the system, or the player himself. I'm openly admitting that he has failed to live up to expectations for Rangers, and some of that is his fault. Other conditions factor in, such as tactics, as to why DMB hasn't been a success. Just because a player doesn't work out for a certain team doesn't always mean he's pish, it just means it wasn't the right situation for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Brian used to play to his strengths and when he left Beasley was fucked. Far too one dimensional. Beasley could (I suppose) to a job if you have players who will play around him and acommodate him, but he doesnt show nearly enough to justify doing that. Like Hemdani he is nothing more than a luxury player. I honestly can't wait until Beasley is gone. Im glad McCoist and Smith have seen through him now and will punt him.

McCulloch - how many times has Beasley filled in at center half and done a job (albiet, nothing special) how many times has Beasley held a ball up? how many times has Beasley scored from the half way line? how many times has Beasley scored with his left and right feet? Adam - How many free kicks has Beasley scored? That's about it for Adam And by the way, I deteste McCulloch and Adam. But Adam has probably beat more men than Beasley.

Hogging the left touchline, gets the ball and simply plays it to the nearest man next to him like the balls a hot potato. That's gutless in my book.

Danny 9 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I remember that American chap who came on for a few posts and was a close follower of both his national team and the career of DMB, and he says he's a confidence player who routinely goes through extended periods of being completely useless before turning it around for a purple patch. Well right now is clearly his extended useless period. I mean, it begs the question - if he was doing it in training given Walter signed this player, surely he'd play him given DMB's record? This was a whole new fresh season - DMB showed plenty of evidence of his ability last year - a reliable flanker who kept the ball and often cut inside to aid attack. Yet this season there's just been nothing - he's rarely on the bench and when he's been on the pitch he's achieved the square root of nothing. Was it against Killie at Ibrox he was subbed at half time having had one of the worst performances seen for ages? For whatever reason, it's not working out right now. Whether he'll have one of those 'purple patches' soon remains to be seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of times he came in usefull when he was encouraged to cut inside from the right hand side on his left foot and won 2 penaltys, but that's it. Certainly done nothing else of note.

Just because a player doesn't work out for a certain team doesn't always mean he's pish, it just means it wasn't the right situation for him. I reckon if you are 2nd or 3rd choice in the USA team you must be a complete no hoper making up the numbers Beasley...waste of time and money FACT ! What a strange argument. I reckon Rangers would love to have players such as Sacha Kljestan, Danny Szetela, Kenny Cooper, Eddie Johnson, Neven Subotic. Dont know any of them, I dont have much faith in any USA players There is the odd one who catches the eye but I wouldnt touch them, they are better off sticking to basketball baseball or some crap sport like that Beasley is not right for this league. I hope he goes somewhere else, thereby making both Rangers and the next team happy. As for anything else you've said, *pop* goes the credibility. So soon after joining too..

TexasGers 96 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I remember that American chap who came on for a few posts and was a close follower of both his national team and the career of DMB, and he says he's a confidence player who routinely goes through extended periods of being completely useless before turning it around for a purple patch. Well right now is clearly his extended useless period. I mean, it begs the question - if he was doing it in training given Walter signed this player, surely he'd play him given DMB's record? This was a whole new fresh season - DMB showed plenty of evidence of his ability last year - a reliable flanker who kept the ball and often cut inside to aid attack. Yet this season there's just been nothing - he's rarely on the bench and when he's been on the pitch he's achieved the square root of nothing. Was it against Killie at Ibrox he was subbed at half time having had one of the worst performances seen for ages? For whatever reason, it's not working out right now. Whether he'll have one of those 'purple patches' soon remains to be seen. I agree with most of that, but it does beg the question of whether there is something going on behind the scenes that we just don't know about? I didn't see the post you were originially referring to, but I would agree that Beasley is a confidence player. And the only way to build up confidence is to get a run in the team. I will concede that if he gets a chance in the coming weeks and fails to show any life, then he should move on to another team. But judging him on such limited work this season can't lead to many conclusions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, do you guys really think he showed plenty of ability last season? you's must have been watching different games from me. The only thing that's went on "behind the scenes" is that Smith and McCoist have clicked on that he's a dud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
