Colin Traive 22,775 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 We’re well served in this position now with the Helander partnership clearly first choice but having Balogun, Edmondson and Katic as back up is great work by Rangers. Bassey could even cover in an emergency mid-match. Such competition keeps them all sharp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 73,916 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 He was particularly excellent near the end of game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's definitely one of those players who's mistakes alot of folk have decided they'll notice more than other players' mistakes. A couple of rocks tonight. He is prone to the odd wayward pass which sometimes gets unfairly criticised however some of his cross field passing and diagonal balls this season have been sublime. Hopefully he keeps progressing and is mindful to keep things simple where they need to be. Spot on re the partnership👍... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s not a natural ball playing CB but he’s adapted to the way Gerrard wants him to play. The second goal started with him feeding Tav virtually from our own six yard box. At Brighton, the keeper would have wellied that up the park, especially with opposing players pressing. Some of the football we play from the back is occasionally scary but great to watch.

GA1972 9,556 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 If he’d stop the dwelling on the ball shit he’d be amazing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dived in a few times and was caught out needs to stop and think why he's caught out so easily that way he was the same against young Nisbet, overall a good game though.

TMB 14,167 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I’d swap him for that big CB Galatasaray have. He looked some player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getstiffed 8,863 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 A CB who we wouldn't have if he didn't have all the flaws people are pointing out. Guys, its not 96 anymore, we're not competing with Man United to sign European championship winners anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayward passes can be accepted, its stuff like the hibs second goal that needs cut out, tight 2-1 lead away from home you dont fuck about 30 yards from your goal, drop it into their corner flag and let us regroup Its almost like he has a brain fart from time to time, its usually at the worst moments lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearInTheToon 1,577 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 One of the H&H boys nailed it for me the other day in saying the combined fees paid for Goldson and Helander don't even add up to what they paid for Julian, yet we have the better defence/CB pairing. Helander is turning into a rolls royce for us. Superb recruitment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Reynolds 1,329 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Goldson is outstanding for us, and has been pretty much since he arrived. A lot of things he gets pelters for are clearly tactical instruction, holding on to the ball, course, draw players on to him, back his skill to then beat the forward or break a press with a pass. These are things our players need to do. If he was error free he is worth 40 million and not playing for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
