Our striker is reluctant to shoot.

[Monty_greenock34]

The amount of goals dessers would have if he takes his shots first time.

Frustrating.

 

[PT98]

Frustrating isn't the word. I'll be surprised if my telly remains intact if/when he does it next week

 

[welshbear]

Love the big guy .. but absolutely woeful today.

 

[Siberia1]

Infuriating

 

[Clay Davis]

Betis goal was the worst thing to happen to him. Seems he wants to do it every game.

 

[JerseyLoyalist]

Twice today he should have scored if he had taken in first time,it’s very frustrating.

 

[Zoso10]

Hasn’t got the striker instinct. Not what we require.

 

[bud_light]

A natural striker takes those chances with his first touch.
Seems weird saying that considering how many goals he has actually scored as well

 

[Miko's Warm Up]

What one of Roofe, Silva, Danilo and Dessers?

Dessers I assume? He is just used to playing with extra touches. Needs to learn and change in preseason or he won't be here next June if Phil doesn't want him to be.

 

[albert_left_peg]

An absolute diddy - constantly offside, makes the wrong runs that actually block our players, gives away needless fouls and has zero strikers instinct - missed 3 sitters today

 

[WLF]

He’s the anti-Jelavic who specialised in one touch finishes. Dessers wants to be allowed to swivel, and shimmy and set himself before he goes for goal, and he hasn’t yet worked out that defenders just won’t give him the time.

 

[CinnamonSwally]

Always mincing about, taking the extra touch looking for an open net. Does my head in.

 

[Monty_greenock34]

Only striker i know who doesnt shoot at first sight of goal.

surely PC is on his case about that or the striker coaches?

lack of confidence maby or just clueless to how little time he has to do a cut back inside.

 

[11alberz]

The amount of goals dessers would have if he takes his shots first time.

Frustrating.

Just won 4 1 and the dessers haters are on again,have a day off ffs.

 

[ColdLager]

He needs a kind word in his ear to just shoot first time

 

[Bluethruandthru]

He's the wrong striker, simple as. Constantly looking for time which simply doesn't exist. What's worse despite a full season here in this country, he not learning.

 

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

Got to go, missed chances have and will continue to cost us

 

[ZEUS]

He's got shoot then X button chop on e-football wired into his brain

 

[flounder]

Always seems to take too many touches rather than just shooting, he probably should have scored atleast 40 goals this season.

 

[georgedoors]

Needs to be moved on , hopefully to a league where you get 5 touches of the ball in opposition box.

 

[Rangers1982]

Hopefully get our money back or close to it he's not what we need

 

[JD1872]

He doesn’t seem to have that first touch finish in his game at all. Such a frustrating player

 

[ShieldsBlue]

Seems a nice guy but he's not what we need. Should be sold in summer

 

[Ruben Sosa]

Shouldn't be starting next week hopefully.

Can't hold the ball up, and needs far too much time to get a shot away.

 

[HandsomeHead]

Today exemplified why he gets so much criticism and why, ultimately, we need better.

He overthinks it, always looking to confound the defender by dragging it onto his other foot to create more space to get a shot away.

In fairness he’s scored a good few goals like that this season, but sometimes you just have to take it first time and he doesn’t seem to have that instinct.

 

[HandsomeHead]

Shouldn't be starting next week hopefully.

Can't hold the ball up, and needs far too much time to get a shot away.

Who starts in his place though?

 

[hars69]

40 shots today 4 goals

 

[ClementLoyal]

He is a nice guy and I genuinely think "he gets it" but in terms of footballing ability he is poor and we should move him on in the summer if possible.

 

[bad boy boogie]

The amount of goals dessers would have if he takes his shots first time.

Frustrating.

Vintage mc coist would've had a field day with those chances.
Dessers gets them handed on a plate and refuses to take the shot ,this could be the difference on us winning this league.

 

[jweebear]

Dessers is not frightened to shoot, it's just he can't control the ball before he fires one off

 

[scooter70]

Simply cannot be our no 9 next season

Need far better, scored 20 goals this season and genuinely could / should have had about 40!

One of the most frustrating players ever

 

[DBallZ]

Get him watching videos of Morelos and tell him aye that, but a bit better please.

 

[RTID72]

If we lose this league ,especially on goal difference , it’ll be only him to blame .
Does he not realise there’s going to be defenders inthe box around him, youJust don’t get time to take extra touches !!

 

[defender]

The opposite of deadly is Dessers, not sure why many start with 'love the guy' he has potentially cost the title

 

[Malsie1872]

He won't get time next week

 

[Ruben Sosa]

Who starts in his place though?

Not an easy one, with the lack of options.

Silva central would be my shout.

 

[The People]

I’ve said a few times
Dessers isn’t and never will be a Rangers no 9
The guy just doesn’t have it sadly

 

[eastenclosurebear]

He loves trying to sit defenders down, but rarely manages it.

 

[Hurricane Run]

Hes a bit of an enigma. Seems to overcomplicate straightforward chances, but hes capable of moments of brilliance as well.

A very frustrating player

 

[Stevie13000]

Unfortunately isn’t good enough going forward.

 

[sg9375]

Sorry I’ve kept my opinions of him to bare minimum. But now? Absolute awful. F.ucking hit the ball at goal. Was horiffic today.

 

[Kentbear]

Totally unaware of any defenders around him and looks surprised when he is robbed, we certainly are not Cyriel, sharpen up ffs.

 

[HandsomeHead]

Not an easy one, with the lack of options.

Silva central would be my shout.

I’m guessing neither Sima or Matondo are going to make it, in which case who’d play Silva’s role on the left?

I think we’re probably stuck with Dessers next week.

 

[Coop1872]

For some reason he keeps switching onto his weaker foot.

 

[GersFanHutch]

Can quote all the stats you like - sometimes in football you just have to judge what you see on the pitch.

An instinctual striker would have had at least two today.

 

[Monty_greenock34]

Dessers is not frightened to shoot, it's just he can't control the ball before he fires one off

At least two chances today he didnt need a first touch, laid on for first time across keeper and chose not too.

 

[gmoothgers]

Not what we need as a player and regretfully we need to move him on

 

[SnakePlissken]

Likes take a coupla extra touches to make certain he misses rather than be rushed into shooting and maybe accidentally score

 

[Coplandbear]

He may have got 20 goals this season but he's absolutely fucking rotten.

 

[Davieblue1977]

If he hits itit first time he maybe has another 10/15 goals under his belt
