Fashion Jr - Running In Behind & Energy

[Growler]

You’re never sure what he’s going to do.

And I don’t think he is either.

 

[SecondBestIsNothing]

I was sticking up for him the other day, but then he stole my Alfie’s celebration so I now hate him. Hope never plays for us again

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Aye from 3 yards out. You’re conveniently forgetting the chances he lashed at. Gave the ball away a few times.

fwiw i think he will be good but today his end product was definitely not there

The end product is a striker scoring a goal, surely.

 

[BlueHaze]

Thought he was M.O. the first 45,Second half his energy dipped but at least we got to see his potential.

 

[Crispy Bacon]

I mean nobody said anything about him being prolific, that’s just more verbal gymnastics on your part mate.

You said he had an end product. He wasted more chances than he converted (1) if you think he showed end product then fine, but our definitions are miles apart. If he had end product, he would have headed across goal to Roofe, he would have slotted past the keeper, in his 1v1, he wouldn’t have lashed at his shot in the second half. But at the end of the day it’s about opinions, and for me his end product was wasteful more often than not, am I wrong?

I have already said I think he will be a good player for us, but he was wasteful at the weekend.

You can’t score 1 and waste 4 or 5 and claim he has end product, not at Rangers anyway.

 

[giogaddi]

Scoring a goal is literally "end product". Unless there is another definition I don't know about. You can score a goal and waste a few more chances, but you've still scored a goal.

Anyway, I think Sakala looks like he could be handy in certain games. Still looks quite raw in his movements and his shooting looks erratic. But these are things that can be worked on. It's often more difficult for new signings to settle into a team that isn't playing very well so I guess we'll need to be patient with him.

Just for context, how would you assess Alfie's end product this season?

First time that front 3 played together. They need games, pure and simple. Morelos has been far from convincing either.
There were some promising signs during the first half on Sunday but the front 3 in particular ran out of steam in the second half. I would start with that front 3 on Wednesday.

I think you are trying too hard to downplay a player who's scored on only his second start.

 

[ross_mac]

Agree he looked good in parts yesterday, but needs to learn to stay onside.

He's been caught offside loads when he's played, and got away with another yesterday.

Yes, but the midfield also need to look for his runs and make the pass before he goes offside. He's not Alfie who wants it to feet.

I’m not. I’ve already said he will be good for us but to say he has end product off the back of Sunday is an absolute riddy

Just for context, how would you assess Alfie's end product this season?

The thing is I can judge him based off hindsight and know what he is capable of. I know nothing about Sakala and can only go on what I have seen. Is that fair?

So that would be what's called a 'tell'
