Glasgow Rangers head coach Danny Rohl will be looking to mastermind his first-ever win in European football against Ferencvaros in the Europa League on Thursday night.

After a 3-0 win against Kilmarnock away from Ibrox in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday night, the German boss will be hoping that his players are full of confidence and ready to secure that first win of the league phase.

Several players will need to raise their levels, though, because too many members of the squad have failed to perform on the European stage this season.

The worst Rangers performers in the Europa League this season

When looking at the worst performers for the Gers in the Europa League, it is impossible to look past Mohamed Diomande as the standout player for the wrong reasons.

The Ivorian central midfielder has been sent off two times in three appearances in the competition, remarkably, and it is hard to get much worse than that.

Youssef Chermiti, who was signed for £8m from Everton, has challenged Diomande for that spot, though, with no goals and four ‘big chances’ missed in five starts, per Sofascore, in the league phase.

Summer signings Thelo Aasgaard and Oliver Antman also rank in the worst five performers, as they have both failed to deliver a goal or an assist and both average under one key pass per game, per WhoScored.

The attacking duo have also struggled in the Premiership, with one goal and two assists combined, but they are not the only attacking players who have underperformed, as Djeidi Gassama must be dropped for Thursday’s game.

Why Djeidi Gassama should be dropped by Danny Rohl

The summer signing from Sheffield Wednesday made an electric start to his career at Ibrox with four goals in six games in the Champions League qualifiers.

Since then, though, the French forward has found it tough to make an impact on a regular basis, with one goal in 15 Premiership games and one goal in five outings in the Europa League, per Sofascore.

At the end of last month, Rangers fan and scout Kai Watson posted that Gassama “deserves just as much criticism as Antman & Aasgaard”, which is a fair comment when you look at their respective performances in the Premiership.

As aforementioned, the Frenchman has not delivered much in the way of quality in the league for the Gers, and he blanked again in the 3-0 win over Kilmarnock, with no goals, assists, or ‘big chances’ created, per Sofascore. He also lost the ball a whopping 23 times.

As you can see in the table above, Aasgaard and Antman’s combined output in the Premiership is better than Gassama’s, which shows that he has not been at a level above the pair this season in the league.

These statistics show that all three of those summer signings have failed to provide goals and assists on a regular basis for the Light Blues, and that is also reflected in their combined return of one goal and no assists in the Europa League.

With this in mind, Rohl should ruthlessly ditch Gassama from the starting line-up for Thursday evening’s clash with Ferencvaros because he has not offered enough quality in the final third of late.

Instead, the ex-Sheffield Wednesday manager should bring Mikey Moore back into the fold after he marked his return from injury with an impressive goal against Kilmarnock.

The Spurs loanee has scored two goals in his last two appearances for Rangers, and it would have been three if not for VAR ruling out his second goal against Killie for an innocuous foul in the build-up.

Moore is starting to show that he can be a difference-maker in the final third, with two goals and one assist in the league, and should be given an opportunity to shine from the start ahead of Gassama on Thursday.

انتقد الإعلامي أحمد شوبير الطريقة التي جرى بها التعامل مع لاعب نادي زد أحمد عاطف خلال معسكر منتخب مصر استعدادًا لبطولة كأس العرب في قطر، مؤكدًا أن اللاعب تعرض لموقف غير عادل بعدما تم استبعاده بدعوى الإصابة رغم تأكيده أنه سليم تمامًا.

وقال شوبير في تصريحات عبر برنامجه الإذاعي صباح اليوم الاثنين: “حق الاختيار والاستبعاد هو حق أصيل للمدرب، ولكن عندما أظهر أمام الجمهور ومعي اللاعبين وكل الأمور على ما يرام، أجد اللاعب في غاية السعادة، أسرته تودّعه وتدعو له، والدته تقبّله وتقول له: يا بُني ربنا يوفقك ويكرمك، والبيت كله يدعو له قبل سفره، وهو يقول لهم: ادعوا لي ولا تنسوني من الدعاء. أمور جميلة بالفعل، كلام جميل وكله فرحة”.

وتابع: “ما حدث أنّ أحمد عاطف، وهو أحد المهاجمين المحترمين في نادي زد، وكان قبل ذلك في نادي مودرن، سافر مع بعثة منتخب مصر الثاني إلى قطر، كانت هناك محاولات لضم مروان حمدي، مهاجم بيراميدز، ولكن أحمد عاطف كان موجودًا بالفعل، ولوائح الاتحاد العربي لا تسمح باستبدال لاعب إلا في حالة الإصابة”.

وأضاف: “وعندما فشلت محاولات ضم مروان حمدي، قُدّم تقرير يفيد بأن أحمد عاطف مصاب، فقال لهم اللاعب: والله العظيم لست مصابًا، ولا يمكن أن أكذب في مثل هذه الأمور، لكنهم قالوا له: لا، أنت مصاب، فأكد لهم أنه غير مصاب وأنه سليم تمامًا، لكنهم أصرّوا على موقفهم بدعوى أنهم يعرفون مصلحته أكثر منه”.

وواصل: “دخل أحمد عاطف بعد ذلك في أزمة، وفي النهاية بدا وكأنه هو المخطئ! وهذا نوع من الظلم، ضع نفسك مكان اللاعب.. مثلًا الكابتن أحمد حسن، مدير المنتخب: لو كنت مكان أحمد عاطف وتعرضت لمثل هذا الموقف، ماذا ستفعل؟ اللاعب لم يقل شيئًا مسيئًا، لكنه كان يشعر بالظلم وبالألم الكبير في داخله”.

وأضاف: “أنا أيضًا كنت متألمًا جدًّا مما حدث، ومُنع الحديث في الأمر حتى لا تُكتب مذكرة ويتم تحويلها إلى هيئة التحكيم الدولية، رغم أن اللاعب لم يرتكب أي خطأ، هو فقط عبّر عن شعوره، لكن حتى هذا لم يُسمح له به، هناك وجع حقيقي، والموضوع لا يحتاج إلى الكثير من الكلام”.

واختتم: “أنا لست مختلفًا على أن مروان حمدي لاعب مهم وسيُضيف للمنتخب بإذن الله، وهذه وجهة نظر فنية تُحترم، لكن ما حدث مع أحمد عاطف لم يكن جيدًا.. لم يكن لطيفًا على الإطلاق”.

Após o jogo, o treinador cutucou o fato de que o clube poderia estar eliminado mesmo com uma das melhores campanhas do Estadual e ressaltou que o grupo do Tricolor é o mais complicado do torneio. Além disso, ele afirmou que poderia ter mais pontos, como uma indireta sobre a suposta arbitragem prejudicial à equipe do Morumbis em alguns jogos do Campeonato Paulista.

– Vejo a campanha satisfatória. (…) Implementamos ideias novas, suprimos algumas ausências no elenco com lesões. Não tivemos o Pablo Maia, Calleri saiu por lesão. Se colocarmos um panorama para o futuro tendo que nos reinventar, fomos a terceira melhor campanha. O sufoco foi porque caímos na chave mais complicada, com São Bernardo e Novorizontino. O São Paulo poderia ter ficado fora com 20 pontos, é o regulamento. Apesar de que poderíamos estar hoje classificados, vocês sabem o que estou falando. Poderíamos estar em uma situação em que o aspecto emocional não tivesse interferido tanto.

Sobre o jogo, Carpini explicou que tentou manter o resultado favorável quando ainda estava 2 a 1 para o São Paulo, com a entrada de novos nomes. Ele ficou satisfeito com o desempenho.

– Optei em fortalecer o setor defensivo e controlar o jogo com Rafinha e James. Ficaria um jogo seguro com 25, 30 minutos. Caminhava para um jogo mais tranquilo, com o Ituano sem pressionar muito a nossa saída. A ideia era proteger a entrada da área, tirar as dobras pelos lados. Em muitos momentos aconteceu. Daquilo que pensamos para proteger, aconteceu. Foram mais falhas em tomadas de decisões. Fiquei contente, mas claro que são situações a serem melhoradas – disse.

Arsenal’s incredible unbeaten run that saw them keep eight clean sheets on the bounce had to come to an end at some point, but few would have predicted Sunderland would be the ones to end it.

However, that’s precisely what happened on Saturday afternoon, as the Black Cats scored two goals to hold the Gunners to a hard-fought draw.

However, there is no need to panic for Mikel Arteta and Co, as they remain four points clear of Manchester City atop the Premier League table, and still played some brilliant football in the second half.

Moreover, one of the Gunners’ stars who looked to be on the way out in the summer could now feasibly start for any team in the league, and his uptick in form has helped the club deal with a massive injury list.

How Arsenal have overcome their injury crisis so far

Now, most Arsenal fans and the players themselves would likely admit that the team simply weren’t good enough to seriously compete with Liverpool last season.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

Expand Collapse

However, what is equally true is that the team had very little chance of competing with the Reds, as, unlike their competition, they were drowning in injuries.

Kai Havertz, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Magalhães, and Ben White were just some of the vital first-team players to spend time on the sidelines last year, and with a much thinner squad, there was very little Arteta could do to mitigate the impact.

Therefore, it makes a lot more sense why the club took the approach they did in the summer, forgoing the mega-money signings to bring in a larger number of players to bulk out the squad.

The decision to do it this way has already paid off massively this season, as the club has already been as unlucky, if not more so, than last year when it comes to injuries, but has had the backups to deal with it.

For example, Saka was covered by Noni Madueke and then vice versa; Eberechi Eze is covering for Odegaard, Viktor Gyokeres came straight into the side for Havertz, and Cristhian Mosquera has already filled in for William Saliba and Gabriel.

The North Londoners’ improved squad depth has been the number one reason they’ve been able to survive and thrive during their current injury crisis.

However, the international break might have come at the right time, as with Gyokeres now out, the team were threadbare in attack against Sunderland, even if a player who looked destined to leave in the summer but is now playing out of his skin once again found himself on the scoresheet.

The Arsenal player who could get into any side in the Premier League

There are a few Arsenal players who could realistically get into any side in the league this year, from most of the defence to Saka, who scored a sensational goal on Saturday.

However, it’s no surprise that these stars are playing out of their skin, unlike Leandro Trossard.

Now, there is no denying that the Belgian is a hugely talented footballer, as in his first full season for the Gunners, he produced 20 goal involvements in 46 games.

However, what is equally true is that he took a significant step backwards last season, producing as many goal involvements, but in ten more appearances.

Moreover, he also appeared far less influential on a moment-to-moment basis during games, and so it wasn’t too much of a surprise to see him linked with an exit over the summer.

However, that exit never came, and he was instead handed a pay rise, which looked pointless at the time, but has since been more than justified.

For example, in just 14 appearances, totalling 832 minutes, the “little magician,” as dubbed by Arteta, has scored four goals and provided four assists.

That comes out to an average of a goal involvement every 1.75 games, or every 104 minutes, which is the sort of output that could surely see him start for any team in the league at the moment.

Moreover, it’s not as if he’s scoring meaningless goals either, as his strike against Sunderland put the Gunners ahead and ensured they left with at least a point.

Likewise, he scored the only goal in the win over Fulham and got the assist for the second in the win over Burnley.

Finally, his brilliant form has not been limited to these shores either, as he scored and assisted in the 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao to ensure the North Londoners got their Champions League campaign off to a flier.

Ultimately, while he underwhelmed last season, Arsenal fans should be delighted that Trossard was never sold in the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur are a club still in transition after Thomas Frank’s appointment in the summer, with the full extent of his system yet to be witnessed by the supporters.

The Dane was appointed on a three-year contract after Ange Postecoglou’s dismissal, with the 52-year-old only able to win five of his first 11 Premier League outings.

He’s only managed one league triumph on home soil to date, with such an issue needing to be addressed if the Lilywhites are to have any hope of finishing within the top four.

However, some of the players currently in his first-team squad have also done themselves no favours, leading to criticism of the manager for his team selection at times.

As a result, numerous players could be pushed closer to the exit door, potentially creating the additional funds needed to help build on the activity in the summer transfer window.

The Spurs players who could depart during the January window

Yves Bissouma is a player who has constantly been touted with a move away from Spurs in recent times – even before Frank took the reins back in the summer.

The Malian appeared to have burnt his bridges early on with the new boss, after being left out of the UEFA Super Cup final due to various disciplinary problems.

He’s failed to make a single appearance since Frank’s arrival, also struggling with injuries – which makes him an almost certainty to depart the Lilywhites in the winter.

Brennan Johnson is another player who could be pushed closer to the exit door in North London, something which may come as a surprise six months ago after netting the winner in the Europa League.

The Welshman has since lost his starting role in 2025/26, with Mohammed Kudus subsequently becoming the manager’s number one choice off the right-hand side.

He’s struggled to win his place back in the starting eleven of late, even being sent off in the Champions League clash with FC Copenhagen – further highlighting his lack of positive impact under the new boss.

The Spurs player who Conte was “very happy” to sign

Antonio Conte’s tenure in charge of Spurs was a memorable one for all the wrong reasons, with the Italian unable to get the best out of the crop of players at his disposal in North London.

The Italian spent just under 18 months at the helm in North London, but was unable to secure any silverware and often became known for his inability to succeed in the role.

The 56-year-old even produced a remarkable rant after the clash with Southampton in May 2023, massively digging out the quality of players and criticising their lack of quality.

It ultimately spelt the end of his time in charge of the Lilywhites, leaving the club after achieving a 53% record – but without any silverware to show for his efforts.

However, he was handed key funds to make changes he desired, as seen by the £60m move to sign Brazilian striker Richarlison from Everton in the summer of 2022.

The Italian was extremely pleased with such a move at the time, even stating that he was “very happy” to land the frontman to help bolster the options within the final third.

However, three years on from his transfer to join the Lilywhites, the 28-year-old has struggled to make himself a fan-favourite and has often struggled to produce the goods.

Frank has continued to show faith in the forward during the early stages of 2025/26, but it’s so far been to no avail – especially when delving into his stats from the ongoing season.

He may have scored four times in his 12 Premier League appearances to date, but the fanbase have grown frustrated with his lack of clinical edge – often missing more chances than he’s scored.

Richarlison has also been alien at the top end in numerous matches, as seen against Bodo Glimt in September, where he only registered a total of 10 touches in his 90-minute performance.

At present, he only has 18 months left on his current deal at the club, which could see them run the risk of losing him for nothing if they refuse to sell him in January.

However, the Brazilian certainly hasn’t done enough to warrant a new deal, nor has he been clinical enough to maintain the backing of Frank in the centre-forward role.

Given the circumstances, the hierarchy desperately need to offload Richarlison in January and invest the money wisely in a new talisman to help the Dane in his quest for success at the club.
