Flanagan is decent that other fraud fuck knows what he is.

Sadiq needed help from ten regulars and between them they created hee haw for him , was he our best player  ? No ,but his team didn't give him much help and they should be the target for criticism imo.

Flanagan is a right back 

Absolutely. He’s not comfortable on the left but he would be more solid defensively than Tavernier on the right. 

Sadiq can get so far to fuck. Fucking abysmal 

[Prso's headband 35,950]

Flanagan takes a lot of stick for fuck all btw. 

You can’t have a go at a defender who we all know is limited going forward and then want someone who can go forward. 

Fuck all wrong with Flanagan. 

But aye Sadiq is an absolute retard

Halliday cant defend and his passing is worse than Flannagan

Sorry mate but that's nonsense, Halliday's passing is much better than Fanagans.

What did Flanagan do wrong today? 

Seems to be a player who is good at basics, predictable, dependable ?

But lacks the flair, confidence, strength of character to move forward quickly from defence, and whilst he defends reasonably is just not the type of Gers defender I like to see. Wallace might be a busted flush and Borisic may not have had a decent run, but when you compare Flanagan to both of them on performance, passing ability, confidence to go forward, leadership qualities, you'll see what I mean.

Yet when he was a regular starter one of the biggest criticism he received was his inability to pass the ball.

Well, quite, but neither of those players were available today and he has proven himself a decent enough player.

Flanagan is a poor right back being played at left back. Must be better than him in the squad, surely.

[the brown brogue 1,934]

Flanagan at left back is a massive contributing factor in our lack of attacking threat. Not his fault though, he's not going to suddenly turn into a marauding left back striding up and down the wing. Makes us very easy to defend against by doubling up on Kent and forcing us to play everything down the right hand side.

No it wasn't, his 2 biggest criticisms were being piss weak in the tackle and rolling around the ground everytime he was fouled.

and his passing, but hey ho. 

[Inigo 32,719]

Flanagan is perfectly good at the back, but hampered playing on the left going forward.

[DavieMacRFC 852]

Flanagan was ok ......Sadiq can jog on, sooner he's gone the better.

It definitely helps the opposition defenders to know that Kent has no attacking support when he's looking for someone to overlap.  Flanagan being a right back playing on his wrong side, he always has to turn inside and usually play backwards.  We really need Barisic back and hopefully stepping up to offer Kent an out ball other than running inside into traffic all the time.  Kent is good enough to get past 2 defenders marking him but not all the time and right now he has no one there to pull a defender away and offer the option on the overlap.  Tav does it for Candeias on the other side but both of them need to pick a better pass or cross when they get into attacking positions.

His passing isn't bad at all, in fact it's pretty good and has improved when he has played this season.

[shaka 1,721]

Sadiq is just a liability.  He had a few decent knockdowns but other than that he makes the wrong runs and then dived when he could've just run on and tapped the ball in the net!

Would love some of the RM anoraks to provide stats, I'm too lazy and pissed off to go looking myself & its too early here to have a drink, the perfect storm.

I'm not the stato type so can't provide them but can provide my opinion and that is that Halliday is a better passer than Flanagan.

[SeparateEntityMyArse 54,338]

Most of Gerrards signings played today underperformed. Sadiq was worst but imo Worrall, Flanagan, Coulibaly, Ejaria were all poor. 

As was Gerrard himself for team selection, lateness of substitutions, choice of players taken off and not learning from exactly the same issues previously.

[gogzy 31,195]

I think Flanagan has been pretty solid most of the season,  lost a bit of form recently so probably should be dropped.

Sadiq doesn't look like he's ever played football before.

That's why Halliday is a midfielder.  Flanagan is way better at defending that Halliday.

I thought Flanagan was poor defensively today, got done a few times by that McKay Steven and his  passing was terrible.

All players should be able to make some of the routine passes that Flanagan fails at.

I think he's an ok defender in general, had a few good games but a few shockers as well.

[BILLYBOY50 1,638]

The thing that is worrying me is both the manager and the players are making the same mistakes over and over. So clearly none of them are learning it's one thing making the mistakes and playing badly but you need to learn from your .mistakes or you will never become a good winning team. Anyway that's me for tonight I'm fucking sick.

[tom1780 1,228]

Flanagan was passed 6 times out of 6 by river boy today 

not good enough today
