I know it only lasted a short time, but the best finisher I've seen was Marco Negri

It was criminal we only got half a season out of him.

 

Mols was sublime too - I would give Mols a game now.....

Gary Neville discussed goal-scoring, as a technique, on MNF last night. The premise was that Stirling has the pace and movement to be one of the best in the world -- as said by Guardiola -- but that he's not a natural kicker; he misses more than he scores. Neville was saying that Ronaldo and Henry were the same when they were young wingers; too nervous, inconsistent and poor with their shots. It took repetition, striking the ball time after time, to get them to the stage they reached: one the best goal-scorers in history.

 

Morelos is similar; he has a decent all-round game. He needs to get practising striking that ball; so he's not panicking, but striking it cleanly into the net. 

Andy Cole practised a lot of the time without a ball using the muscle memory technique which is where through repetition of a particular movement the body can reproduce that movement without conscious thought, it becomes automatic. He had not a bad return with somewhere in the region of 274 career goals.

When I now look back on Sunday with a calmer head I think it has to be said that their second, third & fourth goals all resulted from very basic errors from Martin, McCrorie & Holt. Not sure how any manager could legislate for that.

 

Regards Young McCrorie I can't help thinking a season long loan at a St Johnstone or a Kilmarnock might be best for him just now. Like they did with Ajer.

Our tactics were crap and the players didn't look up for it.  That's down to the manager.

And if the tactics aren't spot on and  they are not up for it big style a week on Sunday then the semi-final may seem idyllic in comparison

One of the best goalscorers I have ever seen was Romario at PSV. He rarely missed a chance and made it look so easy. He didn't do much else mind you but you were guaranteed goals per game.

What age was he then?

Tactics yes. If the players are not up to an OF game, they should not be at our club. The most annoying thing is that most of the chaps who were run over by the Scum gave them a tough fight at Ibrox.

There's obviously a disconnect or cross purpose here... what you seem to be saying is that you don't think that Rangers can attract a decent quality manager thats fine you should say that and say why you think that its allowed in debate.

 

Equally I'm allowed to say without being accused of arrogance that Rangers Footaball Club are one of the biggest football clubs in the world, do you contest this, if you don't then explain to me why an ambitious manager wouldn't want to mange at such a club? Its not arrogance its logic!

Outwith the Rangers family the job of Rangers manager is most certainly not currently as attractive as it once was. The state we are currently in clearly demonstrates this.  I did not say Rangers are not one of the biggest clubs in the world!!!!! I know we are but at this point in time we are an utter shambles, hence my point.

 

The condescension in you saying "what are you talking about"  to a fellow Bear who is as equally entitled to an opinion as you are clearly passes you by doesn't it?

There may be managers who's salaries are unaffordable at this time. There may also be managers whom would never work for our club under any circumstances. I however do not subscribe to the notion that the Rangers Football Club managers position is ANY less prestigious than it was before the companies running the Club found themselves in financial difficulties. To agree with that would be tantamount to agreement with the moon howlers that the Club is now a lesser club. It is not! It is exactly the same Club and institution that it has always been. 

 

We disagree on this point and I'm perfectly comfortable disagreeing with you about it. Its a fundamental argument and I don't need you to be in agreement with me on any level whatsoever whether you are a Rangers supporter or not is irrelevant. I'm not questioning whom you support I'm questioning your assertion that the position of Rangers manager, or by association, that of any other position within Rangers Football Club is somehow considered lesser than it was or that it is somewhat toxic. Its an argument I find completely incredulous! 
 

However they go about it, I just hope they get it right this time.

 

I think there will be a fair few of the better managers who aren't unemployed who won't want the Ibrox job under current circumstances.

 

I responded to Busters post above and you decided to interject into the conversation. A conversation that I and Buster were perfectly capable of resolving through reasonable discussion. I disagree with you and posed the question... What are you talking about? Since then you've told me how my reply was condescending and indeed wrong thinking.  

 

So far you haven't explained to me why I am wrong thinking. So with that said... Please explain to me in what way Glasgow Rangers Football Club are no longer the same Glasgow Rangers Football Club as it was before the financial issues of 2012? If you cant explain this to me then you should retract your assertion and accept that WE ARE THE SAME CLUB WITH THE SAME HISTORY AND THE SAME PRESTIGE! I shouldn't need to remind anyone of this but the position of Rangers first team manager is extremely prestigious! Rangers have not now nor have they ever been an unattractive opportunity for any ambitious footballer/manager regardless of any financial issues or their reach today.  

 

Again..... I'll reiterate asking another what they are talking about during discussion is neither condescending nor is it disrespectful its an attempt to clarify their point. In this case it was however quite obviously an enquiry fuelled by incredulity! What clearly passes you by is that your 'right on' opinion might have the opposite affect to that which you intended.

 

Little apples will grow again!
