What other games apart from Benfica has Helander been shown up in? You deaf? He hasn’t been shown up in any other games apart from Benfica. Again that’s what I’m saying ffs Good enough for us in SPFL but when we play quality opposition he’s shown up. I might be a bit harsh I suppose as we’ve not regularly came up against proper quality.

So you're talking absolute ballocks to be perfectly honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porto maybe but the rest looked nothing near quality when we’ve played them. and as F&F stated he did mess up against Feyenoord (their second) again by pace (looked like he was towing a caravan) then fell on his arse. We can excuse his OG in that game too btw 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Just noticed he’s in the Sweden squad to face Denmark in Denmark on Wednesday. Given the UK has a complete travel ban on Danish travel we shouldn’t be letting him anywhere near that fixture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blues 375 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Tav made two errors against Young Boys last season and cost us the game but has been outstanding ever since. This is the only game plus Leverkausen away and league cup final fluke that Big Fil has played in and we have lost. He is a good player and deserves his place in the team but maybe Balogan should play against more mobile fast passing teams (like Benfica) that do not posses such a threat in the air.

British_Empire 9,648 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Apparently he doesn't need to travel to international duty due to problems with Covid in Denmark or something. Happy with that. One less to worry about with this stupid international fixture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,971 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 For me, Helander edges it over Balogun no matter who we are playing but I get the feeling Gerrard sees it the other way round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
