The issue most have with Dessers isn't just around his goalscoring. My biggest issue with Dessers is the rest of his game. He's really poor at holding the ball up, for a big, powerful man he seems easy to bully, he can't play with his back to goal and he's not fast so running the channels isn't an option. The biggest difference between him and Igamane is watching Igamane take the ball in when cleared from defence, he can hold it up, lay it off or create enough of a nuisance that he'll be fouled. The formation we play that's essential in our main forward. That's not something Dessers does well. Kris Boyd had similar deficiencies in his game, he guaranteed goals over a season, but only that.

He's clearly not gash, he's a modern day Bo Andersen, our Darwin Nunez if you like, a loveable, hard working talented player, everyone wants him to do well, really wants it, but....

 

He's just not what we need.

Bit like Nicolas Jackson, but without the speed!

Same here. For a team who regularly has 70-80% possession he's just not a fit.

Easy home tie for me. Given our away form, don't think we're guaranteed to beat anyone away from Ibrox 😄

Exactly! See if Kane or Ronaldo had done that, everyone would be raving.
