Yes: Sublime skill and close-control, but doesn't know what to do with the ball. If that skill could be channelled... -
I actually like the look of a 4-4-2 diamond. RB Salzburg are one of the best sides to watch, for their intensity and pressing, and they play it. It's maybe a waste of our wingers, though? Kent and Grezda could roam as a #10.

How Analytics has Changed Scouting in Football | Tifo
Rousseau replied to Rousseau's topic in Rangers Chat
Not Rangers related -- I'll move it if requested -- but it shows how important analytics are in modern football. Rangers are in a difficult position: we're a big club, without the financial muscle of the big clubs. The point of picking up players from smaller, unknown clubs based on certain qualities and attributes that your team needs is particularly important for us. We've needed a destroyer-type player, so we've gone for an unknown Coulibaly (although he's went off the boil) and now we've gone for Kamara, who's similar. It's intelligent player acquisition. Even an aerial threat up front; players like Eaves -- not sure what's happening with that? -- may look like poor players, playing at a very low level, but they may have the qualities and attributes we need to do a job. -

I like the sound of Mohanad Ali Kadhim: young striker, who's scored a good amount. There are questions marks about the level, but he looks a good unit for 18. (Al-Shorta, his current club, look to be a top club in Iraq; they're currently 1st in their league.) Woodburn doesn't interest me. He's a wonderful talent, but he's not really played much, at any level. He may be a useful creative presence off the bench. I would recall Docherty. -

Our team was knackered towards the end of December, with injuries mounting up; I'm thankful for the break to hopefully see us refreshed and prepared to go again. -
He had an ankle / achilles injury prior to the Old Firm game, took an injection to get through it -- because he really wanted to play -- with the knowledge he had the winter break after it. I suppose he's now recovering.
