AlCapone 7,678 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 After his form at the tail end of last season and start this season I think we have found a top quality player absolute suited to the Scottish game. Another player who will knock fuck out of Scott Brown and Sellik when the going gets tough.exactly what’s needed lefkada and WATP-FOREVER 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 He's sort of ok. Gives everything he's got and what a tackle tonight (and that was right after he had been booked). Maybe we are looking for too much in quality full backs right now. Tav and him will need to do Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Thought he played pretty well tonight. Only seen the second half though as I thought it was a 7.45 ko Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's good for when we will be doing a lot of defending, but when we are playing against 10 men behind the ball then he will be useless. Same goes for Halliday. Would like to see Barasic given a run of games to see how he does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewaj3 1,446 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 He was tremendous. Couple of challenges. One where he stood back on the left kind of retreated and went in with a full hearted, throwing everything at it the way that Flanagan does. He then played it forward and started a potential counter attack. The challenge in the box was immense and for that challenge alone he deserves praise. His place to lose imo.

Jamie0202 12,272 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 On a side note, I've turned it over to the scum game and in Barasic, Flanagan and Halliday we easily have the best three left-backs in Glasgow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what the left back provides nothing going forward , he’s an out and out defender, and gives ojo and jones licence to just go the one way AlCapone 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,725 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I thought this was his best game for us. Pretty solid at the back, one excellent challenge, and offered more than normal going forward. Was up for the challenge tonight.

Almost a wasted man in the team since there is very little defending. Like I said, horses for courses. Flanagan was excellent tonight but his defensive qualities are pretty useless against Hamilton at Ibrox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was excellent mate but he was equally as good in the European games last season. These types of games suit him. I'm not sure he did indeed offer more than usual going forward tonight though.

Popular Post SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,798 Posted August 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2019 He made some big tackles tonight but he also got caught out a few times and his distribution was poor as usual. It’s far better than his last outing but let’s not delude ourselves that we can go forward with him as our LB, if Gerrard has no intention of playing Barisic he needs to go for another Left back.

GA1972 9,556 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Your first statement there sums Flanagan up to perfection, he makes big tackles at crucial moments but offers you little on the ball when he’s on the left and gets caught wrong side of his man a little too often eosmhdo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
