Gribz 743 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I think its fair to say SG has been backed heavily by the board since the turn of the summer. I didnt think I would see us signing a 7 million pound player in a hurry again but fair play to the board for getting this deal over the line - I thought the price tag for Helander was big enough. Not only that key assets like Morelos and Tavernier havent been sold despite being linked with big money moves. Have we perhaps got too much in the final third now? Competition is massive yet we will have plenty games coming up with the Europa, League cup etc. I dont think we can get away from a 4 at the back. Its harsh on Jones who looks great but Kent does walk into the starting XI. At the back Goldson and Katic start for now but its up to Helander and Edmundson to dislodge them. I dont think Arfield and Kamara have started the season off too well so they wouldnt make the starting line up for me.

McGregor Tavernier Goldson Katic Barisic Davis Jack Aribo Ojo Kent Morelos It depends who we are playing but I would agree with this being the strongest 11 for the majority of our games. I hope Arfield and Jones can really push Ojo and Kent for a spot though. We need the competition. I think Helander must be close to dislodging Goldson at the moment. That would be ruthless by the manager to make that change but it would be better for us and for Goldson in the longer term. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought at the end of last season that we needed quality over quantity and that 3 quality signings who walk into the first 11 would take us where we needed to be. We went for quantity and only have 1 new player in the our starting 11 which I find quite worrying. I hope it's enough. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,139 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Mcgregor Flanagan, Helander, Katic, Barisic Jack, Davis, Aribo Stewart Kent Morelos. Tav and Goldson need a rest. Defoe comes on after 65-70 minutes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,231 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Has everyone forgot about King I think he might be able to do the jobs the two A's do and IMO Murphy could be the back up to Kent. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,717 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I'm all for nominating our best eleven. It shows the diversity of opinion and challenges pre-conceptions. However, turning this on its head and using it as a basis for criticising certain individual players is as unnecessary as it's unhelpful. Every player in our "best" eleven will at some point suffer a dip in form or make memorable mistakes. Arfield and Tavernier are examples of that at the moment but you have to assess players in terms of their contribution across a season and both would always be in my Rangers team. It's particularly disappointing to see someone like Ojo simply written off by the end of August - I find it hard to see what constructive purpose is served by condemnation. Ojo was brought in as a young loan player to fill a gap that's now been filled by Kent and has played in most games in a generally good start to the season. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
