He probably was our poorest player on the day tbf, but would Jones or Hagi have done any better? Jones maybe, but Hagi, in that system, probably not.

Could understand your point if there was Barker threads created or bumped since Sunday but not seen any? I only spoke about Barker in relation to the conversation on page 4 about Athletic article. Mainly regarding the go to guy in big games, which is wrong. I just dont see are correlation between whats been said in Barkers defence from the weekend. I praised Barker massively for his performance in Porto. I call it like I see it, whether I rate or dont rate a player. Hence slating Hagi above, why I rate him highly. His work off the ball goes unnoticed imo, not making excuses, but the 13 passes don't tell the whole story. No threads created i don't think, just some of the comments in various threads since on his performance have been a bit unnecessary imo. Like i said, he probably was our poorest player on the day, but he still played his part in the win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is, he didn't deserve to start on Saturday based on previous performances and after the OF game he doesn't deserve to warrant a place in the starting line-up tomorrow either. But no one will be surprised if he does. At least when Hagi is slightly off-form, he gets dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no one will be surprised if he does. At least when Hagi is slightly off-form, he gets dropped. I don't think previous performances were a huge factor in him starting against celtic - probably more to do with having more time to learn his role due to not being on international duty, and his pace was an obvious asset when tracking celtics fullbacks/blocking runners - it obviously worked because celtic never had a shot on target. Also, Barker will be lucky to make the bench when Aribo and Roofe are fully fit, but still has a role in the squad and he'll do a job when called upon. Really not seeing the issue here at all tbh.

I can only assume Gerrard feels bad for Barker and only plays him in the hope that he'll turn into Messi. There's really no logic to Barker still being at Rangers, let alone starting in a game against THEM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What system is this you keep talking about? Before our goal it was very open, a player like Hagi in an open game against the taigs would be like shooting fish in a barrel. He also played in this 'system' in his 2 games against Braga where he was excellent in both. I don't see any scenario in football where Barker is a better option than Hagi. You could argue pace but, well, why would you really? His pace was hardly noticeable last weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
