I can see a player in there. Just hope Gerrard can pull it out of him. He is a rough diamond at the moment. But I reckon if he knuckles down, he can claim that whole left wing to himself.

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 You can see his quality with crosses and he has a good engine on him. When he first arrived he was always available wether for an attacking move or defensively, but after his injury I think he looks a tad frightened of receiving a hard Scottish tackle. Very rarely takes the ball comfortably under pressure, hopefully he improves that part of his game because if he had Hallidays determination he’d be an outstanding left back Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzler 2,428 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I thought he was very poor yesterday. Always seems to be on there wrong side of the opposing player. Would play Halliday over him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Begby 224 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Really really don't rate him, never thought id take Halliday over a Croatia international but Halliday every day of the week for me. He has been superb in there whilst Barisic has been extremely poor WilliamMunny and theredhandofNewcastle 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Technically he is a great player, but he doesn’t look like he fancies it when it comes to getting the sleeves rolled up for a battle. The elbow in the face yesterday doesn’t help when the Ref is more interested in talking to him about mouthing off at the Aberdeen player.

jbm26896 995 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 He is taking time to settle , unfortunately for him you don’t get the chance at Rangers , i definitely see a good player in Barasic and he will come good . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,600 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 At Osijek, he had a better player in front of him that Kent and this made the difference as they both linked up well he and Kent do not seem to at all. Unfortunately, the Osijek player is a bit nuts as he ran into a shop with his car after a disagreement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1872 3,708 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 He is a Croatian International. Seemed like a warrior when playing against us for Osijek. He will come good imo. Injury undoubtedly set him back. If we want to make money off him we need to let him bed in. Give it next season and then review. sausagetrunks 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are too many players in the team like that, that's why our away record this season is shite , it's ok at ibrox when there's 50,000 behind you and we have the ball for the majority of the game , but when they play on tight parks and no space you can tell the luxury players who disappear HG5 and Courtyard Bear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangersross 6,530 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 His ability to cross the ball is such a valuable asset. In my opinion, it's worth being patient while other aspects of his game adjust to the league, because if he can work it out he's going to be so productive.

50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I don't think he's committing himself fully in games right now. Possibly his recent injuries eating away at him. I'm sure a run of games will sort that out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start of the season folk were on Kent’s case but now he is a MUST sign. As SMILE said, give it time, it’s not as though he is Jon Flanagan class.

Johnsey 1,540 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I think he will come good as well. There is a quality player in there, but like a lot of people have mentioned, he just doesn't like a battle. A bit like Boyd against celtic, I'd drop him for the real tough games until we start seeing something to warrant a start. I really believe he is going to make it with us, but I'd have Halliday there for the battles for now. Would also love Borna to stop weakly heading the ball directly to their players when attempting to clear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems intent on always trying to find a player with his headers but 50% of his time he finds an opposition player. Sometimes I'd rather he he put it out for a throw in and get back in his position. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILLYBOY50 1,638 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I think he looks frightened now when the going gets tough especially after his injury.but to be honest he is not the only one in this squad that retreats into their shell at times and it needs to stop. I can't believe the way we let ourselves be bullied in that first half against the sheep. when any player pulls on that blue jersey the least us as fans expect is for each and every player including subs if we make any give 100% in every game not just the ones that suits them.

Bigdave30 8,701 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Like a few others I think on recent form it’s hard to justify not playing Halliday in front of him although I do believe there’s more to come from him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlands plater 16,975 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I don’t buy this “settling in” line, plenty of players go to new clubs and play well straight away, they’re signed to improve the team they’re going to. You only have to look at Kamara, cost a fraction of the money and looks the part already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
