In Friday’s press conference, Steven Gerrard spoke about his most-used centre-back, Connor Goldson. In fact, Goldson isn’t just the most used centre-back, he is the most-used player overall by Gerrard this season.

Goldson has racked up 41 appearances already for the English manager, with Scott Arfield trailing just behind him with 40 appearances. He has also played the most number of minutes in the squad, racking up 3,690 minutes of football so far this season (Transfermarkt.co.uk).

“I think Connor [Goldson] has been extremely consistent, he hasn’t missed a training session is very robust and you can always trust him. Delighted with his form and hope it continues throughout the season,” said Gerrard (via Rangers).

When Gerrard’s words were shared on Twitter, many Rangers fans echoed the manager’s sentiment. They believe Goldson has been incredible this season, and one of the club’s most consistent players. One fan even admits that he has been their favourite player to watch this season. Although, one supporter does question his distribution skills – perhaps that is something Goldson can work on going forward?

Has Connor Goldson been your favourite player this season?

Yes

No

What do we think?

Goldson’s playing minutes alone suggest that Gerrard has the utmost faith in him. However, these words of encouragement will certainly reinforce that his trust in Goldson is not due to lack of options. If Rangers do end up winning the league this season, Gerrard and the Gers fans will certainly have Goldson to thank for playing his part so well.
