AJF Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Just now, G51 said: Aye. We’ve missed a No.8 since he’s been gone. Arfield is either out of form or starting to decline I'm not sure if it's decline with Arfield as his Rangers career seems to be defined by going through periods of great form before regressing again. I've no doubt he will get going again, we just need to find a way to sustain it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not unthinkable that he’d start to decline at this age. The management team will be able to discern either way from his physical numbers during matches and training. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a big deal of lacazette taking the knee but just referenced that slavia ‘have a player accused of racially abusing an opponent’. No reference to the fact this opponent was a Scottish team and it’s actually a big story here and rangers and Scotland as a whole are trying to take a big stance as a result. He's no longer "accused" either, he is officially confirmed as a racist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of time for Arfield I definitely think Tav being out has stopped our threat down the right hand side as much and he seems to love finding pockets on that side of the pitch. Patterson will only get better but I think our style without Tavernier is different to what we're accustomed to and there has been less possession in the area of the pitch Arfield operates so well in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BT had the League Cup until last season, along with some of the Premiership games. They've bowed out of Scottish football completely now - for all that the actual coverage was good, it was always low priority for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMCs Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 We need to sign two significant players in midfield now. Davis getting older, Jack's injury issues and Kamara will get a lot of interest too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tavernier and Patterson are slightly different types of players. Tavernier is a bit of a unicorn in that he can do everything really, but his real strengths are his passing, crossing and his technique striking the ball. He can hit the ball and put it where he wants it to go. That includes going outside a full back and whipping a cross in. Patterson is more direct. He’s better cutting inside and running with the ball, linking up with players. His dribbling ability is really good - better than Taverniers. But he isn’t as good when he’s forced outside. Any midfielder playing beside Patterson needs to know that there’s going to be space outside of him, and that’s where they need to go. Arfield isn’t as good at that - he’s better in the box. Could definitely see it working better with Jack - can think of a few times when he’s delivered from that area of the pitch (Morelos v Porto an obvious one) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has everything we’re looking for in an 8. The difficulty is replacing Davis. That’s what Zungu was supposed to be - a passer with a bit of physical presence. Hasn’t worked out but it’s definitely the right type of player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 The Office of the Czech President chimes in... https://praguemorning.cz/president-slams-uefa-over-kudela-racism-ban Quote Vladimir Mynar, heading the office of Czech President Milos Zeman, said in a letter to UEFA’s disciplinary body that Kudela’s ban was disproportionately high compared to those for the Rangers players. “I want to point out the racism charges were not proven. Even a UEFA inspector questioned whether Ondrej Kudela uttered the racist remark,” wrote Mynar, who is a Slavia fan. “You have sentenced a decent man without a single proof… only to fulfil the pervert expectations of a narrow group of activists and of a club unable to win on the pitch.” “In your hands, the fight against racism has turned into… hypocrisy, positive discrimination and ridiculous bowing to silly trends,” Mynar added. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
