Many times he was open and didn't get the ball. I thought that today he was screaming at times for the ball but still no pass came. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkytfp1 18,677 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Part of the Barasic conundrum is down to us not having a regular left mid. Tav had the likes of Candeias to work with which helped him but Barisic hasn't had that relationship with anyone down the left who will drop in and cover and make space etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no matter when you give it to him, he only wants to stop & go sideways or backwards. Someone said he outmuscled somebidy today but, as usual, he got outmuscled a right few times. Absolute lightweight. falkirkNS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I am going to be positive when it comes to Barasic. Had a decent game today and given a run will make LB his own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Tav last year. ‘Can’t defend’ was the mantra, regardless of what he did. After his last two performances, he still can't, but no matter how bad, you still can't criticise. Clear some have decided he can do no wrong. Cedrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Avenger 22,567 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 He just doesn't have the heart for a fight. Decent technical ability, but that's it. He's nowhere near Andy's do or die for the cause. Cedrick and falkirkNS 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomatasauce 1,253 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I don’t know wit camp i want to be in with barisic, one min he’s good the next he looks like a complete shitebag but I always end up telling myself, he must have something given he gets a game for the Croatian national team and actually looks a totally different player, couple of performances for us like he gives for Croatia and I think our support will love him I hope this season is the making of him, when he’s at it and gets himself involved his delivery can be lethal If not I defo think he’ll be 1 of they players we regret not seeing more of as his career ascends, he won’t go to the heights of a gattuso but someone like him who we’d loved to have had around ibrox a bit longer when you eventually see him doing the business for someone else Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusDa Beasley 1,044 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I think he’s been terrible generally. Yesterday, he was decent... a couple of interceptions and a few dangerous corners. I was right behind the dug-out first half though and he was in acres a few times...didn’t hear him shout once. No hand up, no pointing where to put it, nothing. It’s like he’s hiding, his confidence is shot to fuck. The fact his team-mates sometimes see him (despite his best attempts to hide) and don’t play him in isn’t a good sign either. Wish he’d prove me wrong as that left back spot is out big weakness this year I think. If he or someone else steps up, we’re looking good.

50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 He had a stop start first season with us due to injury and low morale/form. Lets give him the benefit of the doubt as he's been good in pre-season so far. He isn't being capped by Croatia for nothing... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t great against Progress, but he’s been our stand out player over the last 12-18 months. He was our stand out going forward on the right for the last six months of the season. Before Gerrard came he was a lost sheep and couldn't defend to save himself. He grew into the captain's role but still a lightweight on that score. He again looks to be a shrinking violet. He may improve again like last season, but with our options going forward now, we have little need for his forward forays and even then, they are becoming ponderous and slower. On the the left we get from back to front jig time. Time will tell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

orange&blue92 1,284 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I rate Barasic, even if last season he wasn’t great. This term, so far, he’s looked a decent player with preseason under his belt. His delivery into the box is bang on the money most of the time. I think he will be a standout player this year, but might go under the radar due to some of the fans dislike for him. highlander05 and James Rolle 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPWF 8,391 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Had a really good game yesterday I thought, bee a few mistimed tackles. Needs to do it consistently this season though.

bluenoz 31,087 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 There seems to be a myth going around that Borna has had a good pre season. What he has done is stay fit which is good and scored a nice free kick, other than that he has been bang average.

He has the ability, the pace and the mentality above others, including the plodder Tav. ronniescu 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
