Sakala

[Albertz_Was_King]

Direct, lightening quick and a goal threat.

Attitude always faultless.

Starts every week in my Rangers team.

 

[Clubdeckg]

One of the first names on the team sheet for me!

 

[Weebilly]

And he now gets to cut his hair now that he’s scored!

 

[Salamanca]

Big fan of him. Love watching him run at defenders.
Shame he's not naturally suited to playing on the right side

 

[ScottyRFC1872]

He’s miles ahead of Scott Wright. His lack of game time is strange tbh

 

[Bearsden Bear]

Great player, great attitude, and always getting fouled.

I am looking forward to him scoring at Parkhead.

 

[Clubdeckg]

He's quick, unpredictable, a goal threat! He's a defender's nightmare

 

[MLF1972]

Would love to see him on right. He was excellent playing there at Tynecastle

 

[rangersfc_51]

Needs to play against Celtic, he will cause havoc against their defence and how vulnerable they are.

 

[OzzyGersman]

I love how he keeps trying to beat a man and isn’t deterred by losing the ball. He can play a lot better than that tonight. Big game for him next week filling in for Kent on the left

 

[Bearsden Bear]

Needs to play against Celtic, he will cause havoc against their defence and how vulnerable they are.

Throughout my life, Celtic have never been able to handle opposition players who run at them.

 

[Bryanmc]

Just love him what infectious wee guy

But also let’s not undermine the talent he has

 

[rangersfc_51]

Throughout my life, Celtic have never been able to handle opposition players who run at them.

Agreed mate

 

[Britannia89]

Head never goes down superb attitude love the wee man.

 

[Saturnblue]

He should be a guaranteed starter every week.

Good at running with the ball at his feet and link up play with other players.

One of the best performers tonight.

 

[Johnnieblue]

If every player had his attitude and enthusiasm we would never lose.

 

[Robbie Hepburn]

Big fan of him. Love watching him run at defenders.
Shame he's not naturally suited to playing on the right side

I think Kent could easily play on the left to accommodate him. He's a major goal threat and other than Morelos, recently we miss that

 

[JD1872]

Agree, surprised that Gio has mainly gone with Wright so far. For me he should be starting every week

 

[Davieblue1977]

Great to see him get on scoresheet, wee guy loves to smile

 

[JerseyLoyalist]

Needs to play against Celtic, he will cause havoc against their defence and how vulnerable they are.

Definitely.

 

[IbroxForever]

Should never have been out the team after the Hearts game. Needs to start the next 3 games at least.

 

[Viper_RFC]

Not sure he is playing his best position, but the boy is electric, great touch and deserves a proper sustained run. We could have a diamond in this one.

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Needs to play as an inside forward rather than a touchline hugging winger.

 

[Robbie Hepburn]

He's got pace, skill and has scored several types of goal for us. Madness having Wright ahead of him. Hopefully Gio sees that now.

 

[Ballynahinch Loyal]

Has to play next few matches. He’s clearly enjoying his football, long may it last. Think he has to play at the piggery.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Sakala and kent either side for the mentally challengeds

 

[TheFantasticNinetiesFox]

The weekly “Sakala must start” thread! When will he finally get a run of games? He deserves his chance without a doubt.

 

[Harry316]

With more game time he will be on point, could be more clinical but what a player he could be.

 

[Recoba]

The lack of game time he has had really annoys me, he could he a very special weapon against the scum they will not enjoy him running at them one bit, no team will for that matter but he will get loads of space against them.

The fact Hagi and Wright are being played before him on the right is difficult to understand.

 

[DJ_RFC_1872]

Don't get why he's not been in the team.

Will get a run now surely

 

[Portrushbear]

Big fan of him. Love watching him run at defenders.
Shame he's not naturally suited to playing on the right side

Kent could play on the right very easily

 

[nasalsinatra]

On the left wing he is predictable With the ball. One move - dip the left shoulder and then move inside to the right and hit a weak shot. The best way to use him on the left would be to simply play the ball behind the opposing defenders and give him a chance to use his pace in a free run. On the right he can go both ways. Against a left-footed left-back shifting the ball inside and running directly at the centre-backs rather than trying to dribble would be a good option for him.

 

[sprally]

I love how he keeps trying to beat a man and isn’t deterred by losing the ball. He can play a lot better than that tonight. Big game for him next week filling in for Kent on the left

My son cracks up when I shout to Kent/Wright or whoever on the wing
Beat a man!

 

[BlueBougie]

Love the wee man and his attitude.

Would also find a space for him every week

 

[Leo_Ger]

Full of energy and effort and is a goal threat.

I'd have him every week in my team ahead of Wright.

 

[Andrew webb]

Hope he starts v Celtic especially Alfredo missing

 

[TheScotty]

A class apart tonight was Fashion.

Delighted he got his goal, great finish it was too.

Starts ahead of Hagi, Wright and anyone else out wide every time for me.

 

[Ross_]

Direct, lightening quick and a goal threat.

Attitude always faultless.

Starts every week in my Rangers team.

Can’t argue with that - no offence to Wright but as it stands Sakala should be in ahead of him in the XI

 

[devilman]

I really like Sakala and think he genuinely can be a very, very good player. His movement is good, his touch is good and he has a good eye for goal. He can also fly when needed to hit headers from cross balls that are quite high.

 

[DerekSSR]

I like him, as someone else it's a shame he's not a right winger, direct and fast, not afraid to shoot.

 

[Arab]

we have to use his pace by playing the ball ahead of him

 

[Jjbscotty]

He’s my favourite player I love his wee face

 

[Hooksytj1978]

I would play Kent on the right or even as a CAM.... And start Sakala on the left..

He is frustrating at times... But always direct..and a goal threat.

 

[DAS77Ibrox]

Would love to see him on right. He was excellent playing there at Tynecastle

After internationals…

Kent left, Alfie central, Fash right.

 

[Der Berliner]

Direct, lightening quick and a goal threat.

Attitude always faultless.

Starts every week in my Rangers team.

He looked every inch the left-sided attacker in a front three that you want to have.

 

[Captain Cutlass]

A class apart tonight was Fashion.

Delighted he got his goal, great finish it was too.

Starts ahead of Hagi, Wright and anyone else out wide every time for me.

He was my MOTM tonight.
He was outstanding in the first half and just as I thought he was perhaps tiring in the second half he produced that fantastic run and finish.
He'd be one of the first names on the team sheet every week for me...just love the wee guy!

 

[SDR]

Very good player, with a great attitude. To paraphrase Kevin Keegan: I'd love, love, love it if he played, and scored, against Celtc.

 

[Dotty_84]

He's definitely better suited to counter attacking but even against 2 rows of 4, his directness and speed would still cause issues. And the boy seems to always get chances Infront of goal.

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

To be honest, I’m shocked he never started any games after tynecastle? A far more effective player than Wright. Kent, Alfie & Sakala would be my front 3 every time.

 

[Pliskers]

Love his attitude to the game and his header against livi was quality but I reckon he does not have the aggression nor ruthlessness to make it at Rangers. To be fair, he tends to be played out wide when I think he is more central. Hope he does well but he has had enough time and yet is still not producing enough.
