Match Thread [FT] Rangers 3 (Dessers 5', 45+5'; Souttar 90+2') - 1 Ross County

[Gonzo79 13,597]

That game should've finished about 8-0.

 

McCausland and Matondo need to do more.  Dessers still needs to be sharper.

 

Can't really criticise anyone tonight because we went at them from the first til the last.

 

Now we're even, let's start putting the foot down.

I'll disagree. Alfredo was a better all round striker, but Colak was a far better finisher.

 

And Morelos couldnae give a flying in the end.

Morelos scored far more goals than Colak and would have thrived in this type of system and style we are playing.

 

He is out all time top European scorer and whilst the end of his Rangers career wasn't how we'd have liked, when he was on it, he was unplayable.

Rangers have scored in each of their last 21 league games in the scoring 47 goals in that run.

When at his peak. His last year was 1 goal in 5 chances, if not more. He will remain our European top goalscorer, but "let's keep the church in the village".

 

Dessers gets really good assists and scores some fine goals now. Colak would have loved this environment too. Same as Roofe. 

 

Maybe we leave the "better than" debate on strikers, as it is all about opinions and preferences.

Three goals three points we are now joint top of the league there’s a long way to go but we’re getting there .

That was great to watch tonight.  Couldn't make the game tonight but was on my feet towards the end of it.  Great stuff.

It wasn't me who started the conversation on past strikers - and if anyone thinks Colak was better than Morelos or would fit into this team / system better than Morells needs to go to Specsavers.

Agreed. Get them to Specsavers where they may bump into those that think Barisic is better than Ridvan 😉

Morelos was a lot of good things, a natural and decent finisher wasn't one of them.

 

He didn't strike a ball well either.

 

He could lead a line as well as the best of them but wasn't cool infront of goal at all, head down and leather it at the goal was the usual order.

Ridvan was poor tonight, one decent ball, ran the ball out off play twice and was meg'ed in Ross County's penalty box. But, yeah he's better than Borna 😀
