Empty stadiums have shrunk football teams’ home advantage
DMAA replied to ranger_syntax's topic in Rangers Chat
Good for us away and probably good for some of our players at home -
My opinions always carry those caveats, I am also relying on YouTube highlights and making judgements on what he has achieved by his age which might not be fair. I felt last season above all we were exposed as simply less creative than Celtic, or possessing less overall quality in the attacking third. There was definitely a mental element to it too but that was the primary issue. One of the positions I felt could have been improved at times was the one beside Jack. Davis was excellent for a good bit of the season but going into this season I felt a creative player in that position with the energy to burst forward and score himself (like McGregor, sorry) could have been a game changer. If he even signs, maybe Zungu will do that. But from the very little I’ve seen and heard about him he seems more a player who wins the ball and moves it on.

I’m not seeing it with this Zungu guy at all. We don’t need another defensive midfielder. I wouldn’t mind another centre midfielder but only if he was attack minded, sorry to say it but a centre midfielder who could contribute creatively in the way that Calum McGregor does. I really hope we sign an attacking midfielder though. We can’t go into yet another season relying on Kent. He doesn’t have the end product we need and isn’t good enough to break down deep lying defences. Very happy with Hagi, Aribo and Jack though. Those guys are at the level we need.
-
Yes, we need a forward with a bit of guile and intelligence to break down stubborn defences. A player who can play a defence splitting pass himself, as well as pulling centre backs from their position to make space for others. Defoe actually does this pretty well. But I do believe it would be a waste not to have a forward who is good in the air too given we have Tavernier and especially Barisic who specialise in crosses. If Morelos is sold, I trust our scouts to find a good replacement and I still wouldn’t be averse to having Dykes as a squad player too.
-
Yeh, I’m sure he would do well but I think I would prefer an out and out striker be signed who can link up well with the midfield. I think I’m a bit skeptical too because English players who made their reputation playing at the top of the Championship are notoriously overrated and poor value. If there is truth in the link he would probably fit the bill for one of the number 10 positions though.
-
I trust our scouts. We need a new striker and an attacking midfielder who walks into the starting 11 and this could give us that chance. It is clear as day to me that there is a lack of quality behind the striker. Personally I’ve always believed Morelos is overrated by our fans. 12 goals in 26 in the league and no goals since December isn’t good enough and make no mistake about it, it cost us. Most of his 12 league goals came in very comfortable wins too. I genuinely believe our scouts can find a player who will score more league goals. I don’t mean to downplay his achievements, but I do believe many very poor performances were overlooked because of his European exploits.
-
Aribo has end product. He is a quality player, I’ve got no concerns about him at all.
-
Agree with all of that. I genuinely think Edmundson could be our best defender soon. I know he hasn’t been tested massively defensively but he is brilliant on the ball, strong as an ox and faster than any centre back I remember us having.
-
I hope Patterson gets a chance too. I’m a Tavernier fan but when our play gets stale, a player like Patterson can bring a bit of life and energy to our game.
-
Good work out I suppose. I would really like to add another attacking midfielder though. We can’t rely on the same guys who ultimately fell short last season. I still believe Stewart should play a greater role though and I would love to see Murphy break through but I can only assume Gerrard isn’t going to give him the chance.
-
I am the unfortunately, and I’m not paying Premier £12 for a friendly. Rangers TV used to do audio too but I can’t see it on the website.

Can we watch it on Rangers tv?

Disappointed at this. Certainly one of our most promising youths. And although I don’t think he could contribute much this season, we don’t have many players like him in the senior squad.
