BookWorm 4,243 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I always said he was good enough. Now watch him go from strength to strength as he gains confidence with more game time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al 55 9,311 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Setup the first, scored from an excellent free kick, wasn’t troubled defensively, clean sheet for the team. Not quite sure what people are looking for tbh. Scotjo and graeme_4 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, the spl is where his biggest test will come. Hopefully he can stay injury free and gets a run of games and start to get some consistency to his game. Think it gets my back up more with Barisic undeserving praise because some bears can’t wait to slaughter Tav , Flanagan , Halliday and all 3 are miles ahead of him in terms of performances so far , I’d like nothing more than Barisic to become a success , Killie away or a difficult euro tie , standing up being brave defending well I’ll come back on and say Barisic was outstanding today/ tonight 👍🏻👌🏻 JograBear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee9 3,997 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 An assist and a goal means it's hard to give him much criticism but I wasn't impressed with him at all. Looks very awkward and ridiculously one footed. His delivery in the first half especially was horrific considering the positions he got himself into.

Reckon Gerrard is putting him in the shop window. Tbh I'd rather he put in some good performances and stays. We have a Full international LB that plays for one of the top European team. We got him relatively cheaply, and if he can get a level of consistency, then he could be as effective down the left as Tav is down the right. Can you imagine how strong we would be with him and Tav at LB and RB playing alongside Kent and Ojo on the wings. Deadly.

ForeverAndEver 72,135 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Decent cross and free kick. His crossing especially in the first half was awful. Outstanding lol, talk about exaggeration. When/if he does it against teams in the league or are actually half decent in Europe then people’s mind will change.

OhW 4,679 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 SPECIAL Aribo OUTSTANDING Barisic I think people just take a punt so that they can say “I always said he was amazing but I got slaughtered on here” if it turns out to be correct.

livibear101 248 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Had a dreadful 1st half but managed to turn it around in the 2nd half, still unsure on him but hopefully he proves me wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 He was awrite and nothing more. Outstanding. 😂 As I said in the other thread about him last week, he’s got until Christmas to turn it around if not then he’s out the door. His defensive abilities still give me the fear though. A good few times out of position for us and cost us goals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yermawsa 15 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 When Barsasic plays he allows the team to play in a different shape to either Halliday and Flanagan. He pushes high and stays wide which allows our left sided attacker(hopefully Kent) to drive inside more. May not be great defensively and gives away silly fouls by getting caught out but I think he allows Gerrard to play the football style he wants. If one of our 3 midfielders drop into the false left full back role it allows barasic to keep width for a quick left sided switch. I’d persevere with him and will tolerate a few errors.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Commented yesterday as much as we only played St Josephs for me Barisic got over two massive psychological hurdles yesterday. 90 minutes on a plastic surface, a surface he was very uncomfortable playing on and he got his first Rangers goal. That Jack goal -- saw some say he didn't aim for Ryan which is totally correct -- what he dd was to look up and drop the cross into and empty area thus creating an opportunity for a midfield player to run on to the ball. Hopefully we'll see him with more self belief and he'll be the player we all expected. dee9, glasgow argyle, oldbear and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose48 953 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 The whole team was nothing more than adequate, apart from Ojo, against a very mediocre team. Lets wait until we qualify for the group stages and the first few games of the league before we go into raptures about any of them.

TMB 14,167 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Barisic can offer us on the left, what Tavernier does on the right. Two good attacking full-backs who can put a cross in and hit a set-piece. We’re very lucky to have two full-backs of this quality. If we can get Kent and Ojo in front of them we’ll run riot in the wide areas. siddiqi_drinker and magic8ball 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozblue 4,332 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Barisic wasn't outstanding or brilliant in that game, especially in the first half but then again, there weren't many that looked the part probably due to the pitch that was bone dry and slow, plus the tactics and effort of the opposition. The second half was a different kettle of fish though and we showed a bit of class. I was as disappointed as any about Borna last season but there's more to playing in a strange overseas league than supporters think, even for injury free players, which Barasic clearly wasn't. I've even seen people say that he hasn't got the bottle for Scottish football, but anybody who has seen Croatian football would know that you don't play around 150 games and be capped by Croatia if you can't handle the heat. He obviously fits into Gerrards' plans of how he wants his team to play as a unit, so I'll wait a bit before I crucify the guy as utter shite. bluenose48 and Scotjo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JograBear 1,074 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 His goal side I thought he was poor. Probably our worst player on the day. His crossing especially in first half was shocking. Cedrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain 4 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 My first post guys...so go easy..... My two pence worth on Barisic is that he clearly has the capability to be outstanding because we signed him after he was outstanding against us. We had a decent teams out those nights and he looked every bit the Rangers type player. Admittedly, he's flattered to deceive a lot of the time since and i've often wondered if those games against us were his best ever moments. Like someone else said....we'll know by Christmas if he's the real deal or not. bluenose48 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoplandRoad83 3,372 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Still has a lot to prove for me and probably my only worry in our starting 11 for big games. Has good delivery and useful set pieces, though still don't think we've seen the best of that yet. Biggest worry is that he's looked dodgy defensively, hesitant in the tackle and also when teams have got stuck in and played at a high tempo (classic SPL style against us when it's a cup final for them) he's not been able to stand up to it. Has my backing but needs to get the grips with the above fast. Cedrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedrick 8,048 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 From a good few bears it’s “ fuck i said he was some player and he was shite , the Croatian internationalist blinkers many to which means fuck all when he’s getting a torrid time in most spl games ,so we’re gripping on to Tuesday to prove ourselves right (not me I think he’s been an imposter from day one) teams in Scotland play down him they can smell the fear , I’m shitting myself the now that Gerrard goes with him against them 4 games in unless of course the 3 games before he shows he’s up for the battle and ready to stand up to the spl 👍🏻👌🏻 Steelydan1690 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
