We never had these players since the time it was introduced, shoehorned centre-forwards into roles not theirs, and played it no matter of the opposition. Every now and then, a player aside from the (as in: one) centre-forward weighed in with a hatful of goals, Sima, Kent, Tillman, Tavernier, Cerny etc. but it was not enough. We did not adapt to these realities and suffered the consequences. They not only had the money, but also got enough solid players to fulfil the job that was required. Maybe not in Europe, but surely in Scotland. As was said elsewhere, dislike them or him as you want, Ange came in, saw what was needed, got e.g. these Japanese in, and they ran away with the silverware. And the reaction of us (well most) was not debating the system which is utterly unsuitable for the Scottish game, but going after this or that striker, who did not convert 75+ % of the chances he got. If he would, he would not play for Rangers in this day and age. What we needed and need for "modern" football is a striker who scores 20+ per season, and three+ players behind him who come up with 10+ each too. In the league! But as of May 6th ... Dessers (52 games) 25 goals + 12 assists Cerny (49) 17 + 8 Igamane (43) 14 + 5 ... and Danilo, Diomande and Lawrence with 6 goals each. Like in the days of Morelos, one striker was asked to carry the team, and if he didn't come up with all (as in: ALL) the goods, we were screwed. This needs to be addressed. And not by signing a potential 30+ goals striker, but by getting attackers who score ... and play them all in a system suitable to break Scottish brick walls. Sounds like moneyball football. Signing players that on the aggregate can get the numbers we need collectively. Cracking film and story btw. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
