MrMckee 3,418 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Have been really impressed with Halliday since Gerrard has come in but his last few performances at left back have been excpetional. Defensively has been sound and some of the balls he has put into the box from corners especially has been sublime. Borna has looked like he has great potential and offers a lot on the overlap going forward and has a great delivery too. He just seems to be a bit stop start at the minute and feel he needs a good run in the side for us to really see the best of him. Flanagan did alright initially in the Europa qualifiers but is clear he is not first choice or even second choice so can't see him starting games unless tav gets injured on the right. Anyway who is first choice? I think a fully fit borna will have to be unless he is poor once given a run of games but think he will be a massive player for us. Halliday is a great option to have in midfield too and will give everything no matter where he plays. How does everyone else see this position shaping up?

Popular Post born a blue nose 90,693 Posted January 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2019 Barisic's crossing is too good not to play when fit. Hopefully he really pushes on in next few months and we see his full potential. rangersross, BridgeIsBlue, Bluekev and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 64,384 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Got to be Flanagan Can't have two offensive full backs and Tav isn't getting dropped Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart1994 4,301 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Not got a single complaint of Halliday since he’s came in this season but for me Barasic is a different level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wullyRFC 5,230 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I'd have said Barisic every time but Hallidays set pieces were the best I've seen for ages and he won everything on the 29th. 1st name on the team sheet against Killie.

Even though he was the best player on the park in first game we completely dominated them in absolute years and hasn't put a foot wrong when called upon this season?

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,601 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Players excelling shouldn't lose their jersey. Whilst I think Barasic is better and will become our permanent left back, for me it's Halliday to start next game, and his jersey to lose. dougie76 and Geo17 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 34,086 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I would have said Borna , but I'm edging towards Halliday . He's been outstanding lately . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,278 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Anyone that has Halliday ahead of Barisic needs their head checked. Halliday has been great, no problems about that but we’re talking about a Croatian international who contributes going forward so much and looks assured in defence. He’ll net us millions if he gets a run of games and fit. BridgeIsBlue, Laudrupsleftfoot and gazza27 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueMe 25,327 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Barisic is obviously the better choice when fully fit, but after Halidays performance against celtic, the LB position is his to lose tbh. Anyone else plays there before Flanagan. dougie76 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halliday had the game of his life in the season on his life 7 days ago and deserves a place in the next starting 11 regardless. You play your fit, inform players and he's one of them.

King Jela 20,350 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Barisic should be first choice but Halliday’s been superb recently, should keep his place until form/injury/suspension suggests otherwise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
