SonOfLuther 3,400 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Gerrard said “I’m not here to speak about individual players, but I’ve already spoken about Grezda and Barisic a while ago. “Have I seen anything in the interim to show me they’ve taken it on board? Well, one’s been injured but have they played in the starting 11? Not much, so that’s the answer to your question. “You’ve got no chance, especially in this country, if your attitude isn’t bang on. “If you’re not mentally strong, you get chewed up and spat out in this league.” From the sun.

tannerall 25,935 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 That's poor from Gerard in my opinion for two reasons. 1) You don't dis your own players to the press, you do it behind closed doors at Ibrox. 2) Making those thoughts public will have a bad effect on any transfer value. Also makes it difficult to turn situation around, and one other impression I get is there might now be some doubt whether it was his decision to sign them in first place ?

Popular Post Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted April 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2019 Don't think he's said anything that bad to be honest. It's fairly generic and not too scathing. I think players, and fans can just be a little too precious at times. Ultimately, despite certain players being given plenty of chances they continue to take the piss out of us. I actually think both have ability but Gerrard is correct in what he says and what he said in relation to throwing the youth players in. Ability is nothing if you are not ready and prepared mentally and physically. They must have the right attitude. We need players we can rely on. Players we can trust. It seems that they could be on their way out however if any player has anything about them they'll knuckle down, keep their head down and work their balls off. It's possibly too late but it's pretty unlikely they'll ever get any better than us. If they don't realise that we're better off without them.

CR3 12,622 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 The croatians have downed tools (or are just shite) and at 4-5 million spent no wonder they're getting it tight. Part of me wondered why is Barisic no playing then tries like fuck to play for Croatia then is back injured. We shouldn't have poached them from a team of randoms (Osijek) but thats probably where we were at, at the time. *panic buy* Back to the generic tried and tested get Rangers fans playing for us, who have a clue HG5 and JimmyCR1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,287 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Everyone knew what Gerrard was thinking. I'm fine with him going public. It's not like he didn't warn them. Gerrard only wants winners and fighters and he will get them firstly by weeding out the weak. Grezda is done. Barisic is on a slippery slope unless he changes his way in a hurry.

chris182 6,186 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 If Grezda and Barisic aren't pulling their weight, fuck em. Better off with out them. I'll trust SG and the coaching staff to call them out.

Maybe he’s been doing it behind closed doors all season and this is one last throw of the dice to try to make them step up? As for their transfer value let’s be honest it will be pretty much non existent anyway, they’ve come here for a couple of million each, and seemingly failed in a league as poor as Scotland if we do want to get rid a big loss or even a payoff is probably the only way, so why not try anything possible to improve their form/attitude.

Prso's headband 34,991 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 The real cut and dry of these two is that it honestly seems like Barisic was signed off the back of his performances against us. I didn’t think we’d be that stupid. And Grezda was signed just because he was Osijeks best player and recommended by Barisic? Surely not, probably the most unprofessional deals we’ve done in a while if any of that is true, I’d like to think it’s not. We should’ve signed Bockaj. Barisic is the strangest of the two for me. By all accounts he’s been brilliant with Croatia, cunt looks as if he’d run through brick walls for them. I’ll never understand it. Compare his aggression to Katic and you’re honestly sitting scratching your head. Katic is the type of defender that would heeder concrete blocks for the badge.
