On the bench, was on the bench for thr USG game.

Since Ulderink has disappeared we seem to be a threat from corners and and set pieces.

Great 1st half. Get some young lads on for 2nd half.

Positive news.

Coefficient points is great news for the other mob, straight into the CL every year for them.

The prize money talk is nice to see but until we see the accounts and how much we have to pay-out for costs and staff bonuses etc its not a great indicator of the real value add.

Stevens has been involved in England squads for his age groups and at his age needs to be playing.

Rangers 3-0 FGS Dessers

Manager deserves great credit for this. We’ve been poor domestically no denying but to get this finish with our fixtures (I think we were the only team to finish top 8 having played 4 of the top 8 ) is a very good outcome.

Great result tonight and terrific achievement finishing top 8. Manager and team deserve a lot of credit. Now start doing it in the league.. 😂😂

No goths pls

Good point however - 1) He left in the summer before their injury crisis escalated 2) Spurs manager is known to run players into the ground

Looking at the posts in this and many other threads there is a common theme. Winning is everything, and when we are not winning everything is hyper analysed and critiqued. If we were paying Dessers half what we are paying him (which is estimated to be what Kyogo was earning when he first arrived) then everyone would be happy with his contribution in isolation. Our lack of success wouldn't be as much of a factor, though it always really factors. As many have said Dessers has been a victim of circumstance for the most part. When he is scoring he is not doing enough as we are not competitive, when he is not scoring we are not competitive and no one is available to fill the gap. We also have had too many, and still do on high wages contributing nothing which while isnt his fault, he is a sellable asset while others offer nothing with no resale value. Its possible he stays with us for the next few seasons, we rack up some titles and trophies and he leaves a cult hero.

We’ve appointed former spurs sports science guy Sam pooly into our back room team.

Can you guarantee we will be able to sell him in the summer? And for as much as we get offered now? Its just kicking the can down the road IMO. The problem of replacing is the same.

No signing is a guarantee. We must gamble given our finances. Koppen & co have shown signs of good luck lately when it comes to gambling,

Would be delighted to see that wage thief leave. I wouldn't use that term loosely.

That’s up to Koppen and co.

Yes and money to bring in a replacement

There can be no debate over this. Unavailable players offer nothing.

I hate this comparison to Kygo tbh. Pains me to say it, but compare goals all you like, but you need to compare trophy count. If Dessers was winning us trophies the way Ally did, it certainly helps fan perception.

Absolutely not. was right guy at right time, but not for now. Doubt he would work with such a restricted budget the same way Clement has. Sad to see it hasn't worked out for him but we need to move forward.

Ah fair enough, suppose they can just go out and hire Pep then.
