Fuck knows what is wrong with Barisic. He showed so much potential at the beginning but since then has rarely impressed. It's an odd one because surely you don't get near a team which makes the world cup final without having something?

AGM_72 3,633 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 He has the odd poor game, but I reckon he’s our most dependable left back. Easily. Rarely lets us down in the big games. Cedrick, mearns loyal and Blumhoilann 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barisic just looks like a complete coward the now which is mad considering he looked an absolute warrior playing against us for Osijek Doesnt even really make an effort to take his man on and get down the line for a cross anymore like he was doing when he first signed Complete mystery when most thought he would be our best signing last year Jamie0202 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkytfp1 18,594 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Plays consistently well on the defensive side of the game but gives us nothing going forward which we need. Some crucial tackles but pairing him up againsy their no.5 tonight at set pieces was a mistake we luckily were not punished for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - I’d like better, but it doesn’t seem to be happening. Very little indication we’re in the market for a left back. I’m not that worried with him being our starting left back in big games. If the other two manage to actually find some form they should be capable of starting and causing the smaller teams problems when we’re taking the game to them. When we need a bit of stability Flanagan generally provides it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t even do that he’s cost us many a goal through defensive fuck ups. He can be good defensively but he’s far from consistent with it.

SpicyJelly 10 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Flanagan isn't a natural football player so has limited abilities but he done a job tonight. I would rather he was defensive cover than a first team starter though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I like Falanagan. I hope he's given a new contract and stays with us beyond the end of the season. He shouldn't be a starting full-back for us but in terms of a guy who can come in and provide cover for the RB and LB positions we'll struggle to find better.

BridgeIsBlue 66,606 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Flanagan will make those game saving tackles at least once every 90 minutes, but can then play a suicide ball straight after it nearly. Never thought I'd say it but he probably is our best option at LB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears r us 30,796 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 He did make a couple of good tackles tonight and did fairly well, but his positioning sometimes is not great and that certainly let's him down, off course we have to remember he is a RB, not a LB. I have no idea what is happening with Barisic, Stevie obviously does not trust him and while it would not be easy I really think we should be trying to sell him and get a replacement in asap. I wonder who will be LB on Sunday ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackAlex93 11,272 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Thought he was good defensively tonight and made a brilliant last ditch tackle after a Goldson mistake. Limited when going forward though but that's not his fault playing on the left side. Toss up between him and Halliday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoGeo7 10,517 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Flanagan is very useful in specific games. These tight European matches are where he comes to life but where we are expecting an attacking fullback performance he’s not the guy for the job. That should be Barisic but he’s a powderpuff shitebag Get a solid attacking left back if we get into Europa groups and Kent too and we are looking good.

Flanagan is a very useful player.. In Europe we will not be needing two attacking fullbacks... that would be suicide. We have to be more clever with our 3 forward players.
