The shit this guy gets on here is laughable , if any others were as consistent as this guy has been they would be superstars on here. Should be starting before Barasic or Flanigan and only if his form drops we use the other two , just like any other position in the side. If we end up going for another left back , I would be punting Barasic before Haliday......... Halliday is a decent player, but he’s a squad player. His versatility will mean he will not hold down a position consistently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been superb now for months and as long as it continues he should be starting. If he fucks up like Barasic and Flanigan both have in the past , drop him but right now hes easily the best of the three. If Barasic had a game like Haliday last night he would be a £20m player on here today..........

I thought Halliday was solid last night but as we have done before many times, it’s square pegs for round holes, Broadfoot as a full back, Dominic Ball as a holding midfielder, Halliday as a left back. All the same, played out of position. Halliday was a winger and now plays anywhere he’s asked too because he’s so keen to play. He will be a valuable squad player but he’s nowhere near the level of player that Barisic is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudrupsleftfoot 10,874 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Barisic still looks a bit frail defensively for me. The quality in his passing and crossing is several levels above Halliday's though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet Gerrard has heaped praise on him for his attitude, performance etc through pre season? Anyone who thinks he’s nowhere near good enough is just a fool. It’s taken him time to settle into the club and he hasn’t performed consistently, but he’s s very talented player and if we get it right with him I fully believe he will be a huge player for us and will assist many goals over the season.

Broxi 11,484 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 LB, LW and RW still feel weak, especially LW. Kent comes back and I feel 10x happier. Ojo looks like he might be the anti-Kent, in the sense he won't always play well but will pop up with a goal or assist. Instead of Kent who always plays well but doesn't always have an end product.

Halliday's done well for us and played well last night but it's obvious when watching him that he's a limited player. Barisic's play looks 'cuter' for the want of a better term, there's more variation in the balls he plays down the line and a better 'weight' on them.

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Maybe there is a question to be put to Gerrard and Allen about whether they really have delivered enough on their promise made at the end of the season about bringing in quality players. Marquee was the term I believe they used. This transfer window was not supposed to be about quantity of signings but about improving quality. Even if its believed to be the case that the additions (balanced with the leavers) results in an overall improvement in quality an open question would be whether the improvement has gone far enough. I don't think so at present. All that ST money from bigger than ever ST sales. Has enough been spent on adding the sort of quality players that would be likely to make the difference between being also rans in the league again and in actually winning a cup trophy and not shuffling out dismally through the knock-out phases? Maybe more of the quality marquee additions are still to come. And then again maybe not and the cash is just kept for another day and to help improve the appearance of the balance sheet (or for contract default payouts to SD and maybe yet Elite). At some point journos may get round to asking Gerrard whether his transfer budget and transfer plans have had to be trimmed because money is going to be diverted to pay out on Rangers defaulting on its contracts.

I would rather have Halliday on the ball in a tight space with opposition players running at him under pressure to play a pass out of danger. Barisic has felt clumsy when put under pressure and I know the type of pass you're talking about and Halliday could make them just as well imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no circumstances in which Andy Halliday being our first choice leftback this season is acceptable. We either have faith in Barisic, or we sign a new leftback. Halliday can fill in whenever or wherever needed but he's not a first choice anywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffbear 4,096 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 End of the day match sharpness takes time but I like our squad and feel well win the league . Barasic must start . If not we must buy a proper left back . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
