So? He still isn't good enough and should have scored today.

 

We have 3 number 9s, that cost in excess of £11M 

 

Dessers - garbage but scores goals occasionally.

 

Danilo - unavailable for huge periods due to injury and doesn't look like he'll score. 

 

Igamane - looks like he's never seen a football in his life. 

 

We have no tactics, we can't defend, our midfield gets overran and our forward players are disjointed.

 

We are going backwards at an alarming rate, but it's OK Danilo's stats are better than Dessers. 

 

If only those stats had scored today.

So it shows how bad Dessers is when Danilo outperforms him. And as you said even he isn’t that good.

 

I’ve banged on about this for ages, this team needs a proper 9 that can hold up the ball, win high balls and link up play.
 

Dessers is 0/3 and Danilo is 1/3.

Those stats don't score goals or get you points, you need to put the ball in the net and at the moment, Dessers is the only one of those 3 who scores on a semi-regular basis. 

 

Playing 1 up top isn't working no matter if its Dessers, Danilo or Igamane.

 

3 times in first half we fired a ball into the box from the left and Dessers was the only Rangers player in the box. Dundee United had 5 players.

 

We need to try something different- play two up top. It can't be any worse. 

[CammyF 8,089]

If its stats that determine how good / bad things are, in the last 23 league games, our record is worse than it was under Warburton's last 23 games.

 

We have managed to be worse than a team that contained Holt, Halliday, Jo Dodoo and a 34 year old Kenny Miller (who I'd take over any of our current front 3).

It appears Danilo is as ineffective as Dessers when it comes to putting the ball in the net. 

 

Dessers would have been crucified for that Danilo miss. 

 

Whoever scouted and said we'd be unable to afford Igamane next season needs sacked

 

 

We're just a poorly coached team with no style. We're slow, pedestrian, lack focus and determination.

It was the introduction of Hagi in the second half which I thought improved us. We had someone who always wanted the ball, drove forward and tried to link up through the middle and out wide. Diomande didnt do that first half. 
Dessers first half was anonymous. Danilo at least give us movement up front which helped but he lacks match sharpness at the moment. Whether he’s the answer remains to be seen

Another stat 

 

Since returning to Ibrox we've scored 7 goals in 5 games.

When Clement joined he appeared to favour Danilo over Dessers but chopped and changed the team.  Danilo got injured and Dessers became the number 9 scored 20 goals. 

 

The player who dragged us back into the game today was Cerny in my opinion. He was our best player. Hagi did add something though.

 

It was yet another game where we struggled for 45mins then played OK for 45mins.

Cant be bothered reading the whole thread. Wasnt at Ibrox today and doubt I'll be there next season. Times up in so many ways

I think the fans apathy (not going to games) might be the only thing that gets rid of Clement. 

 

It was noticeable today that many fans didn't return for the 2nd half.
