Just listening to Boydy there saying Raskin had a good game and Sutton followed it up saying Raskin is instrumental to us. I must be missing something. I think Raskin has been terrible apart from a short spell in preseason. He hasn’t lived up to the hype whatsoever. Him and Cifuentes are a huge part of our problems in that midfield (with the main problem imo being 3 defensive midfielders and we wonder why we can’t get up the pitch and have no attacking options) . The two of them run about like headless chickens, they’ve no positional sense between them and hardly make a tackle or break up play. Cifuentes is caught ball watching constantly and looks yards off the pace. Game just passes him by. Need to up their game and quick.

Yeah you are certainly missing something.

Raskin is always running chasing and wanting the ball, one of few with energy and drive, my criticism of him would be his final ball / decision making ( like 95% of our squad ) let's him down.

Coisty, I've consistently said I think Raskin has been overhyped, I hope I'm wrong and he starts to control games and deliver. cifuentes, again I've regularly said he is at least a yard behind everyone else, maybe because he came from MLS, which plays slower.
again I hope he picks up and comes good. both these guys are young enough to improve.

Raskin is certainly a lot better than the other 2 in the middle with him. Am told cifuentes is an absolute player aswel. One ok performance v livi.

He’s been overhyped but played well today.

Storm/ Sutton do you have an opinion on the matter or just digs?

I have been very critical recently of all squad but it’s difficult when lacking confidence and only thing was three points today which wd got . Tav not been great recently but once again two goals and if anyone deserves some credit he has got to get it . Cifuentes and raskin agree look to be over rated but young and need experience beside them better than they have now . Not sure cantwell raskin and Cifuentes can play in same team, too inexperienced. Up front unfortunately don’t think dessers will ever be a player . Not due to lack of effort just really poor . Michael Beale has defined tempo and how we play and will take time to change and also a few windows to get rid of Lammers dessers etc . Few wins under belt different outlook who knows as Celtic not great . Still in it and early in season . Still fancy us to win league with a new manager as long as he is in next week and working with the squad over break.

What’s that then storm? Enlighten me.

GJD I agree with you that he is always running and chasing. The problem is it’s just chasing with no real composure, intent or positional awareness. He demands the ball but as you say the decision making is so poor. Like today he done a pass inside that was nowhere near Barisic then blames Barisic. He done the same in the Celtic game when he won a tackle then stopped and put his hands in the air. He needs to know he has a long long way to go and a lot to improve on. Davis would be the right man to help him improve in them areas in training.

BAR72 100%, there was so much hype and he was getting credit constantly off the back of very little. He’s young and has a lot to learn. Frustrating because he has the potential.

Cifuentes should be played in the position Lundstram had today.

Raskin has been surrounded by shyte, he hasn't all of a sudden become a bad footballer. He needs a settled, on form team around him with a bit more quality and style of play.

There is the rump of a very good team once everyone is back from injury.
Lundstrum, Dessers are two that need to be replaced and we still needed to strengthen the f=defence.
A new manager might get something out of Lammers but Dessers is a major worry.
One major positive, we have some very good young players coming through, we need to hold on to them and hopefully a new management team can help them develop into top class players.

I agree to an extent as I don`t think Raskin is playing well, great ball for the goal though. I don`t think the left of a three suits him but he has been moved to accommodate Cifuentes who has been useless. You say he runs about like a headless chicken, I just wish he would run about. Lundstram better than both today and has been for weeks.

Lundstram would make anyone look bad he's really starting to bore me to tears get him tae in January.

havnt yet seen what we were told he has in his locker. least he's playing which is more than yilmaz who us never a rangers fb, , total waste of money like dessers and lammers are in danger of becoming.

A really think rangers only need a top defender another proper winger a right good manager and we will be fine, a think there’s definitely a good team in there.

Thought Cifuentes had a decent game today and kept it simple, and along with Raskin who tracked back and won the 50/ 50 tackles in midfield.
