I`m doing this early because I intend to stay away from Rangers chat for a couple of days and try to get this out of my memory so here goes .
Probably the answer will be nobody , but I do this for every game so here is the MOTM thread. Probably the worst performance of the season even including the Beale games and what a time to do it, just when we were all dreaming of what might be .Hard to give anyone any credit and a shambolic , gutless performance by most of the players.
Butland made a great save in the first half and two really good ones in the second too , both however led to goals because of lack of reaction from his team mates .Can`t fault him at all.
Tavernier , set the tone by going missing in the first minute and carried on to have a shocker , attacking play was non existent , defending a shambles and corners mostly over hit .Dreadful.
Barisic , curled his first corner out of play but was never really in the game , never got involved enough to get service into the box and looked as if his mind was elsewhere.
Goldson , another shocker from him , was run all over the place by Murray and was slow coming out ,playing people onside ,repeatedly misjudged headers at attacking corners .Hopeless.
Souttar , put in some good tackles and interceptions and had his work cut out covering others but was also all over the place at the three goals , too slow when bringing the ball out.
Lundstram started okay in the first half but then got deeper and deeper and slower and slower in his build up play, back to his pre Clement style . Way off the pace.
Dowell had one good early run but after that just gave the ball away with stupid passes and then showed no inclination to go and get it back. Outworked in midfield and struggled badly.
Sima , had one good run ended with a poor cross and a header well saved first half ,one decent shot second but really showed no threat , not match sharp but still expected much more from him.
Cantwell , showed urgency from the start , tackling back to win the ball and trying to create , had a shot well saved and hit the bar late on . Our best player in my opinion.
Silva , his head flick created our opening goal but that apart did very little , too many flicks and tricks that didn`t come off and when he did get a chance his shooting was weak. Poor again .
Dessers another shocker , missed a sitter and another great chance first half , never held the ball up and disappeared completely second half . Back to his useless worst .
Sterling , tried to inject some pace down the left but being a right footer couldn`t get any crosses in .
Matondo , couldn`t make any space to do anything when he came on , over hit a couple of crosses and headed tamely by the post .No impact .
Lawrence , another no impact sub ,played lots of wee sideways passes and created nothing , was rag dolled at the lead up to the third goal, Pointless sub as it was like for like .
Roofe , had an overhead kick over the bar and shouted loudest for the hand ball at the penalty . Never had any chance to do anything .
Hard to pick anyone . Butland did his best and couldn`t be blamed but I`m giving my MOTM to the only outfield player who at least tried to get us going and thats Todd Cantwell.
