Aye am not blaming Worrall for it, I think changing the defence just created even more uncertainty that was there and led to the goal eventually I thought.

Inigo 32,524 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Katic was guff, so the sub was fair enough, if a little late in the day. I don't think the Katic-Worrall thing will be a big issue long term. Both will get used to playing some games and not others. If Katic isn't a big enough boy to be able to take being on the bench for a few games without it affecting his confidence then we SHOULD be worried about him.

No need to take him off like that, would’ve killed his confidence because he was having a poor game, not as if Worrall is or was any better anyway. Goal conceded because he changed the defence with 10 minutes to go. Listening to SG he seems to have been second guessing himself all game today, probably just another example. Still gets a monkey off our backs and people need to fuvk off with this calling players petulant if they are not happy being substituted whatnobeer and Prso's headband 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been great, and would walk into any other team of the past 7 years, but Gerrard obviously likes the Goldson/Worrall pairing. They'll keep their place until one of them slips up, and that's exactly the way it should be. Keeps them on their toes, and keeps Katic pushing and pushing in training. Katic and Goldson hadn’t slipped up when Katic was dropped and worrall came In Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor_Chang 1,049 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Constantly changing the centre back Pairing isn’t wise. Should try keep the same back line as much as possible as long as they perform and fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosscoRFC87 216 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Goldson and Worral for a Rapid Vienna-like performance against Spartak. Just has to be done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strange thing for me is to break up a solid partnership and drop a lad who was absolutely flying , play Worrall the ayr game etc yeah fair enough but until such times Katic or Goldson go off form I’d kept it the same , same goes for Flanagan he plays every week for me , our best defender and hardly plays Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment for me Flanagan is a horses for courses player. If you need a defender at fullback, he plays. If you need a dynamic fullback, Barisic and Tav play.

Barisic so far defending has been shocking and going forward shows very little variety in his play it’s all touch and throw in a hopeful ball whether there’s a target to hit or not , good play at the goal v villareal but the defending before that was horrendous, early days but I’ve not been impressed at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 As usual, assesment of players is either over hyped or over critical. This thread is no different. Katic form has dipped, no doubt. Everyone has to remember he is a young lad still settling into a new country so performances are going to vary. He's no world beater but neither " is he shot". Keep it real ffs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayboleLoyal_atb 3,630 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 He wasn’t helped at all by the fact we were trying to use him as some sort of playmaker and his passes were terrible. Someone from midfield should have been taken the ball off him and trying to create something with it shouldn’t be upto him or Goldson to do that.

geronimoo 1,474 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Was rank rotten today, but at the same time we can't expect him to be great every game. I see Worral as being a more tougher player who won't be slapped about, when Gerrard brought Worral on it was about the time Hamilton lost it and started to get a bit more aggressive with their play and tackling so I thought Worral at that point was a good decision. I honestly think that depending on who we play will decide between them as to who plays, if we are playing a hatchet team like Motherwell then Worral will be prefered, playing a normal team that tries to play football then Katic will be preferred.
