ShootSpeedKillLight 0 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 He doesnt score in the big games, why? because he doesnt play, nah, get him the ball and he will, there in lies our problem, we, rangers footbal club, are not good enough to create the chances for boyd to score against the big teams, lets just wait for a dodgy penalty, a scrappy corner/free kick or a moment of magic that is displayed maybe once every couple of months by a different player each time 1. We beat celtic away convincingly, creating many chances. 2. Boyd had a chance against celtic, and we all know what happened there. 3. Maybe, just maybe, the whole team performance shouldn't be geared to setting Boyd up within 12 yards of goal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBoyd 355 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Indeed. Eck, look mate, I agree with you on everything but this. I'm not blaming Boyd for any loss, but he has to prove that he's worth the start. As I said in the Aberdeen Official Thread, I'd play him on Saturday because if a ball drops to him in the box then he WILL score. It's all about proving he's worth the 'risk' in big games, and so far he's been (in general) a complete let-down when he's been trusted. See now thats a more interesting post, the rest of what we've all been saying this 7 pages is just the same thing we always say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we are on an agreeing run at the moment, I have already said I would sell boyd, for the right price, at the right time of the season, selling him now, with nobody to step up is just ridiculous and anybody who thinks otherwise is deluded Boyd has proved in the last month or so that he is the best striker we have, miller has faded away and hasnt added goals to his running, of which he hasnt done a lot of, carrying an injury or not, boyd out ran him again and still looked a more dangerous player in the air Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue1872 2 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 But we've got hard evidence he can't perform in big games. Where's your evidence that someone couldn't come in and score all those goals? What, 1 goal in 5 starts against celtic (more than JCD/sebo)? 5 or 6 european goals in about 10 or 11 starts? 4 cup final goals, 7 in 15 for scotland... or do you count every misplaced pass? If he had a partner who could score, he would have a hell of a lot more assists and hes already played a part in a lot of our goals this season with his albeit improved linkup play Your Celtic stat is complete semantics. One goal against Celtic in his whole fucking CAREER! 6 European goals? When? The Cup Final goals brought my unbridled joy. And much like the criticisms he suffers for Rangers, who were his Scotland goals against? Faroe Islands and Bulgaria's B team provided a fair few of them, possibly four I think. It was 1 more than kenny up until august this year He doesnt score in the big games, why? because he doesnt play, nah, get him the ball and he will, there in lies our problem, we, rangers footbal club, are not good enough to create the chances for boyd to score against the big teams, lets just wait for a dodgy penalty, a scrappy corner/free kick or a moment of magic that is displayed maybe once every couple of months by a different player each time A good center forward should, occasionally, be able to carve out his own chances. Tis the sign of a good striker from what av heard. Some people like the lazy bastards that do nufink against the better teams and think it's ok!

papaguy51 912 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Having Boyd and Miller does lend itself to one-dimensional play as SSLK says. A bit of of originality and varied play wouldn't go amiss occasionally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost against Kaunas and St. Mirren away, creating little chances with Boyd out the team. 2. Velicka had a great chance against Kaunas and he missed it. Just because Kris Boyd is out the team, it does not mean that we are necessarily going to start thumping teams 4-0, 5-0 every week. Boyd is not a great all-round player but for £400k, I think we've done all right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
