He looks quite busy and does make some dangerous runs. His general passing seems quite good and he made some nice long cutbacks today. However, I have a concern that he is too slight for our game - He has been bullied off the ball several times in his small number of appearances. He also doesn’t seem the type of player to take on a man, so isn’t really a winger. I hope I have it wrong, and he kicks into gear soon. gogzy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA1972 9,495 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I like Grezda, he works hard and it will click with him. He’s comfortable and composed on the ball which helped with how well we kept the ball today, that bit of composure is something Middleton just doesn’t give you yet which was a real problem for us against Vienna Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaka 1,669 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Barisic has settled well and already starting to show he's going to be an important player for us. His crossing was really good and he seems to have good energy to get up and down the pitch. Grezda still looks a bit rusty and not sure of himself yet but he still looked threatening without ever getting his final product perfect. I reckon with more games and time to get used to his teammates and the system, he will become an important player for us too. Grezda and Barisic on the left could become an upgraded version of the Tav and Candeias partnership we have on the right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giffnockger 4,840 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 A lot more to come from Barasic/Grezda, individually and together I think! Shame Tav/Candeias seem to have lost their spark, didn't link up once properly yesterday... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoplandRoad83 3,241 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I think Barasic will be a great signing, his delivery is outstanding, and if we had more players who gambled and made forward runs we would start to benefit from him. Grezda worries me a bit, but early days. I don't like the fact he checks in all the time when he plays on the left. It just gives the opposition more time to get behind the ball. He had a great chance yesterday to really go for it and get through on the goalkeeper and he checked inside once again and the moment was lost. I don't whether he is playing it safe until he finds his feet but he needs to show more confidence and take folk on and get behind people. I also think he looks more comfortable on the right which is frustrating as I'd hoped he could have set up a partnership with Barasic. Early days with him but looking for a lot more, can understand why Gerrard has went with Middleton in recent games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JograBear 1,072 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Barisic looks good. I think him and Kent will do well down that side. Grezda looks poor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going through a poor run of form, making poor decisions and a lot of things he's trying aren't coming off for him.

gmcf 34,093 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 While I think Barisic has done fine , I think Grezda is struggling so far . I kmow I sound like a broken record , but we have to give players time . When you look at how long it took guys like McCoist and Hateley to settle its only natural that some players not used to the Scottish game , take a while to settle . Hopefully Grezda will come good in time . Bobby Hume 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffbear 4,096 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Definately potential in grezda but think barasic is class.. Put a proper striker in the box at the end of his crosses and we'll pump sides Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiser1041 9,088 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Grezda is neat and tidy but that’s about it to be honest Borna though looks like he could be great for us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate them both and hope they produce the goods. gmcf 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,689 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Grezda can go a long way to proving his doubters wrong ( I'm one of them ) by having a big game on Wednesday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

35 Yard Dangerman 3,475 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 It's the way Grezda moves and runs. It's quite an unorthodox technique that's not as easy on the eye as Barisic is. Coupled with his expressionless coupon it's easy to see why people may be a bit miffed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurrayWilson 3,375 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Think we would have learned over the years about declaring players crap too early, we literally give players no time to settle at all. Think Hateley ,Mcoist and numerous others. I remember a mate of mine who said Laudrup was a dud after about 3 games, not that he would ever admit that now. We are terrible for lacking patience. Grezda had no pre season and only started playing lately after months out, surely he deserves a bit more time before we judge him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadron Collider 30,786 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Think we’ll see better from both of them later in season. Deer in headlights syndrome comes to mind as they are still realizing what it takes to play for Rangers and 50K fans every second game more or less. More to come from from them both.
