- Mikey Moore must start for Rangers in the number 10 role on Saturday
- He’s been the best of a sub-par attacking outfit this season
- The Gers need to find a spark to turn those draws into wins
After some glittering performances in a Gers shirt, Danny Rohl must start Mikey Moore as a number 10 against Aberdeen.
In recent weeks, Rohl’s 4-2-2-2 formation hasn’t allowed the Gers to flourish, with Ryan Naderi struggling.
This week, the manager must come to his senses and deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Youssef Chermiti will get the nod as the loan striker, while Moore can operate as the number 10 behind him.
The Gers haven’t created enough clear-cut chances and have been missing a key link between midfield and attack.
Moore has been a bright spark in the Rangers side and has the skillset to break down a low block, which Rohl’s men are expected to face on Saturday.
Moore has been battling a ‘small problem’ but is still expected to feature tomorrow.
When the shoe fits
Moore has predominantly played on the wing this season for the Gers and has still contributed five goals and two assists.
Moore had 34 successful dribbles and had 83 touches in the opposition box.
The stats point out his familiarity with operating in the penalty area and his ability to beat a man.
The Tottenham loanee is quick, sharp, and enjoys operating on the turn in half spaces.
Moore has proven he can score and create, and playing him in the 10 would allow him to dictate the game.
There is no question that Stephen Robinson will set up his side to beat hard to break down and force Rangers to play through the middle.
Moore can run in behind to stretch the defence and play with his back to goal to link play up.
Moore is the best of a poor attack.
The English attacker has been the most consistent player of the Rangers attack, which has very few stars.
In the striker position, Youssef Chermiti has scored nine goals, and Bojan Miovski has scored four.
New signing Ryan Naderi has failed to find the net in the Premiership, which is why Moore should play as the 10.
Thelo Aasgaard has managed 6 G/A, Andreas Skov Olsen has recorded 3 G/A, and Djeidi Gassama has managed 5 G/A.
Oliver Antman (3 G/A) and Nedim Bajrami (2 G/A) have become forgotten men at Ibrox, but they still haven’t produced.
For a team gunning for a league title, the goals and assists of these attacking players need to spike significantly.
The Gers have eight games remaining to still win the league despite drawing a dismal 12 games up to now.
Read Rangers analysis
In recent weeks, Naderi and Chermiti have struggled to find a spark that has sparked a lift off at Ibrox.
With all the qualities Moore possesses, in my expert opinion, I believe he can be the wow factor that can spark a change at Rangers.
He will bridge the gap between midfield and attack, becoming a constant threat who wants to drive at players and create big chances.
Do you think Moore should play in 10 on Saturday?
