Now our striker should be getting at least a goal a game vs them, I like dessers but unless he changes and starts banging in goals vs them he can score as many as he likes vs the Motherwells and Ross counties unless he scores vs them and we win them matches then he is just a good backup player, beating them is what wins you leagues. A goal a game v Celtic? You do know McCoist "only" scored 28 in 54 games against them? You're asking the impossible there. Dessers goals have mostly been opening goals, equalisers and winners, he's scored in OF, EL and CL qualifiers. Scored 2 in a Scottish Cup Semi Final. He has only been here 1 full season. In that season he was 1st Rangers striker to score 20 league goals since Boyd and Miller. Maybe, just maybe if other players showed the same attitude and / or chipped in with their share of goals, then we'd be better off (remember McCoist had Hateley, Boyd had Miller etc) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the criticism comes from his wastefulness: 16 goals from an xG of 19. He was wasteful. But, he has been clinical this season: 3 goals from an xG of 3.1. Superb. If he keeps close to that even the haters will fall in line. Dessers is not one of our main issues. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs someone who'll supplement his 16, 18, 20 goals, like the example I gave relating to the season we won 55 - Morelos, DeFoe, Roofe, Kent, Hagi, Tav, Aribo, Arfield all chipped in. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was his first season. He has started this one much more clinical. I could see where the criticism was coming from last season, but there's really no reason to criticise him this season. He is doing his job. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its everything else that he doesn't offer that is a problem. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting swayed here, useless bugger does f'all when you think about it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 8,079 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Notice the B Team are playing Luton tonight - thought Igamane would benefit from some minutes but not in the team. Last I heard it was 3-2 to Luton after 70+ minutes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
