ShootSpeedKillLight 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Kris Boyd will NOT be going to Birmingham. http://www.thesun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/s...eyes-Aiden.html And SunSport understands the former Rangers boss is tracking Celtic idol McGeady with a view to tabling an offer which Hoops chiefs will find hard to reject. But we can also reveal that Rangers stars Madjid Bougherra and Kris Boyd WON'T be targeted. It's written in a paper, so it must be true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotBear 144 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Tell you what though the saviour wasnt upto much at the weekend was he? fancy little flicks straight to the opposition and never in the right place all game Rangers fans have been watching Kris Boyd week in week out for years now, and have now come to a conclusion where you either rate him or not as a player.....or perhaps fall somewhere in between. With Lafferty, some fans see potential in him. I'm one of them. Like Boyd, I will give him time to prove whether or not that potential I see is justified. One bad game or one poor game won't lead me to drawing final conclusions. He deserves more time, after such a stop-start beginning to his Rangers career where he's largely been played wide left, before any excessive criticism comes his way.

Every game he tries to be fancy, and he just doesn't have the ability to pull it off. 1-0 down, away from home, failing to keep hold of the ball, and Lafferty tries all this fancy shite. I hope the management drum it out of him! He's needs to learn the basics first! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Looks like he can't even get a start in a must win Champions League game, to one of the weakest sides in the competition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on Muff, you've seen we're playing 4-3-3-, and chances are that'll be a 4-5-1 for most of the game, you've said quite rightly before Boyd can't play up front alone if thats the case, so i think it's more a tactical thing.

Muff 245 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 How many people still want him to play in a 4-3-3, it get's mentioned in match threads all the time. Played right, Boyd could play in that position - thankfully he's not. If he cannot get the nod in a game against a team of this level, then he'll never start in the Champions League. Just so happens that we play our best, more attacking, and most effective football in a 4-3-3/4-1-4-1/4-2-3-1.... If only the manager adopted this approach in every game. Bin the 4-4-2, and Boyd for good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've played effective 4-4-2 before, but at the moment we're incapable of playing any formation strongly, no matter what it is. When was the last time we could say the 4-4-2 formation we played, was effective? It's a terrible formation for us, due to the personnel we have, and the way the manager uses it. We see a difference in performances, and organisation when we drop it - it might not be a massive difference, but it's more effective. Unfortunatley it wasn't for the full 90, but the 2nd half v Stuttgart, and 1st v Sevilla are two examples. This choping and changing formation, and tactics is a load of bollocks.

Exactly, straight after we went back to a scared 4-5-1 mode and managed to hold on.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 4-4-2 was also the formation at Tannadice. I still think we could be successful with that formation if Walter Smith changed his mentality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
