John Lundstram

[nateman]

Felt it was another really good display from big John tonight against top opposition. He has clearly established himself as our main man in the centre of the park, and is by far our most reliable midfielder right now. What I'd give to have another midfielder of his stature alongside him in there, feel like it's something that's needed if we want to take our squad to the next level.

Felt Davis was fine tonight, but he started to fall out of the game in the second half. The rest of our midfield options outside of Lundstram are all a bit hit & miss for me - capable of good performances, but just falling short in different areas when it comes to the crunch.

Perfect assessment IMO.

Exactly how i seen the game.....

Lundsturm, class, reliable, dependable....

Davis all of above but struggled to maintain into 2nd half

 

[Arkanoid]

Mental

Davis orchestrated the first half. But we know at his age he can’t do that for 90 mins. It was a collective dropping off in the 2nd half

 

[dt17]

I don't even think age is the issue with Davis. Being played one week then not getting minutes for another 1-2 weeks is.

 

[Helanders Beard]

Would’ve brought Jack and Arfield on instead of Kamara and Wright, I think it would’ve allowed us to regain a bit of control. Davis clearly dropped off from the start of the second half, not his fault of course I wouldn’t expect him to complete 90 but it made a difference, we should probably have changed it earlier.

 

[Brissy Bear]

I actually thought tonight was one of his quietest games for us, and even commented at one stage I forgot he was on the park.

I do take that watching on telly you can miss a lot of what certain type of players do, so don't usually criticise too much unless clearly honking.

It amazes me how EPL clubs can't see the quality in Big John.

He’s going nowhere the big man loves it

Was good again today, always looking to go forward and turning smartly when he gets the ball. The pace he plays his passes is brilliant and properly zips them into feet.

This, Davis should have had 30 minutes on Saturday if there was a chance of him playing tonight.

[Edinburgh Blue]

Superb, again.

Can pass. Can take the ball in tight areas. Gets about the pitch well. Controls games. Treats opponents with the contempt they deserve. Leader. Can tackle. Hard as nails.

What isn't to love?

Don't think this stands up to scrutiny. How does him playing 30 mins on Sat make up for the fact that today he was strong for first 45, and tailed off in the 2nd half? Not trying to be difficult, just don't see the logic?

 

[Blootoonboy]

Hopefully more of the same next week, if I see him line up in a back 3 I think I’ll cry…

 

[shooglypeg]

Thought he went missing for large parts of the game personally. Very concerning we are still reliant on Davis controlling/dictating games.

 

[Rangerista]

He wasn't flawless, but he was made to play games like this tonight.

I have supreme confidence in JL, as will be vindicated in Embra this Saturday and in the Netherlands next week.

Glory days ahead, as they always be in the story of The Rangers.
