This is the problem the 5 nill hearts game as well he could have had 4/5 alone
100%. Let's get behind him and everyone else for the remainder of this season. But he, like many others, then need shifted. Miles off good enough.
Start a poll
Can't remember many Rangers strikers being on almost 40 goals for the season, and there's been many in much better Rangers sides that created way more chances than this one.
If he was rotten he wouldn’t have scored 19. We’ve had rotten strikers in the past that have got nowhere near that figure in their 1st season. When was the last striker to score 38 in a season with us? He’s not the best but he’s a trier that could have collapsed under criticism. He’s kept going and his goals have kept us in with a shout in all competitions. He deserves a bit more credit.
He’s gonna score a hatrick against them in the final you know.
His finishing is the reason we are in the final. He isn’t a great technical player and never will be. But a striker who gives his all every game, has scored big goals in Europe, the only goals in a domestic semi final and 19 goals in his first season is a good return. He had a god awful start to the campaign when he returned from an injury he wasn’t fully over and as a result not fully fit, and is still our best performing striker. Every single striker in world football misses sitters against lesser opposition and in big games. Complete nonsense to suggest otherwise. Morelos missed sitters for us, so did players like Jelavic, Prso, Boyd, going further back Hateley and McCoist missed sitters too.
He’ll probably break the 20 goal mark for the season and end it as our highest scorer. I doubt he’ll be looking to leave or that we’ll be looking to sell.
Yeh, I get it. That said, a fit Kemar Roofe leads our kind more effectively
Regardless of his failings,he never hides,works hard and not the first to have a patchy first season.
Can you tell us, in the history of the game of football, how many times a striker has scored 38 goals or more in a season? It will be a short list.
Exactly. I am both amazed and saddened by how much venom has been aimed on here at a Rangers striker that has just scored 2 goals in a semi-final to win us the game. To me its just bonkers.
There’s an arrogance about Dessers, many will claim it’s a “strength of character” - it’s not, it’s arrogance..
No if he scored more than he does then we would be top of the league .
To be honest, I thought his all round game was well below par yesterday. It really riles me how such a unit of a guy has so little aggression to his game - he seriously barely laid a glove on either Hearts centre half’s in aerial duels or 50-50s.
People talk about weak mentalities and such in the squad but there’s no way you can say that about Dessers. I really like him and the majority of the criticism he gets is ridiculous and unfair, no striker in the world takes every chance they get and I firmly believe the guy is always in the right places at the right times. Scored plenty of goals this season in key games at key moments. He’s very unlucky to not have had a goal or assist in pretty much every OF game this season also.
It's not I like him big honest player and will score goals where he gets chances and where fans leave space for him to run into.
he had a poor start to the season under Beale when recovering from injury and I think that some people made up their minds then that he was rubbish and nothing will sway them from that view. My opinion for what it's worth, is that he is certainly not rubbish but he is inconsistent. However, that can be said for most players outside the superstar bracket that we cannot afford. He will miss chances, as every striker does, even superstars, but is a valuable member of the squad that should be supported by every rangers fan while he plays for us.
Big Dessers to save the day!
Couldn't care less if he's a better footballer, what he's not is a better striker.
You could do a lot worse tbh
Shankland is a better finisher. But, there is a reason dessers has played for the clubs he has played for and shankland has played for the clubs he has played for. He is a better player. Shankland has had a purple patch in the top league for the last 18 months that looks over now and he was awful at st mirren and the sheep. And in Belgium
