Helander

[BlueAvenger 10,313]

He's played well so far this season but tonight he was fuckin rotten 

[siamthedanger 2,858]

He has been a rock this season in what has been a very very solid back line. Even the best players in the world have off days btw.

[Broxi 11,518]

Been fantastic all season, I'll get worried if it becomes a theme.

If you're going to have a bad night then away from home against Benfica in Europe in a pissing down night isn't the worst one to have it

Only cunts being OOT are the ones reckoning I'm going through him. I like him and reckon he has all the attributes for a top centre-half, bar pace

Think people have taken your post wrong mate. I get what you're saying. Our style tbf usually doesn't rely on pace at the back. Big man deserves a let off for tonight.

Not allowed to say anything true.

[Marky. 6,946]

Tbh if I could pick one game this season for him to have an off night it would be tonight.

Anything out of tonight was a bonus before the game and remains so now. In context it is disappointing, but it’s still likely to be a really good point overall in the group.

[McEwan's Lager 30,629]

One bad game. Pace had nothing to do with it 😂 

Every single defender in history has had a howler like this in their career.

I did say the defence has been magic but at this level his speed is an obvious weakness given our style.

FWIW I would probably have picked Balogun for this game as well, but Gerrard isn't expecting them to go down to ten, so he's probably not expecting us to play as much on the front foot.

When they do you're not likely to see a manager sub off a centre half for a quicker one, because we should be seeing that out regardless of his lack of pace. His lack of pace really only cost us for the final goal, when we should have been smarter with the ball and playing deeper anyway.

Great displays from Helander this season , poor tonight, but these things happen. 

[British_Empire 9,648]

One of our best players but tonight he was rank rotten 

shame tbh 

he’s a fav of mine but that don’t mean he shouldn’t get criticised either when it’s deserved 

[SIRB_72 4,003]

I think he's cracking but he was garbage tonight. Hopefully just a one off from him!

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,818]

Didn't like him initially, but he's grown on me. He's deserved to partner Golddon this season.

Tonight he had a howler and cost us 2 goals, plus a huge involvement in their 3rd.

Hopefully its done, he learns and moved on. Painful one though.

Slower than a weekend in the Polis station.

Absolutely nothing is slower than that 

[MarcusDa Beasley 1,039]

After the start our defence has had to the season, a full thread after one guy has a nightmare is a poor show imo.

[Real Ranger 3,195]

Good to see people people not overreacting, no denying he cost us tonight but overall Herlander has been outstanding this season, be interesting to see if SG plays him on Sunday.

[philiprfc 1,799]

Tonight wasn't a lack of pace problem, imo.

He had a bad night, leave it at that.

[BlueKnight87 17,318]

He's had a bad game tonight. Eveey defender will have one. Overall he's been excellent this season. Dust himself down and move onto next game. 

[Davidorrp 285]

Helander might have been mostly to blame for goals, but there are others involved in build up who didnt cover themselves in glory either. For 2nd, quick free kick, someone should have stood over ball and stopped that. The free kick came from giving away possession cheaply. Then the scorer is unmarked for the cut back. 4 players round him getting back and none actually go to mark him. There was one place cutback was going.

 Last goal, Arfield gives away ball needlessly rather than keep ball.  Davis is wrong side of their midfielder who made final pass. And doesn’t even try and foul him, which would have shown some street smarts.   Both CHs too high and square to striker.  And Helander could have just brought him down and taken red.  Gerrard could have brought a sub on to kill time and shore up defence like Balogoun. And even shouting from sidelines to hold ball and take it to corners etc. So it’s not all Helanders fault even if he had a bad day at office,

[BridgeIsBlue 66,614]

Our best defender by a country mile who's had his first poor game in a long time, get a grip.

Load a nonsense this. We have been brilliant thus far in 2020/2021. Imo we were brilliant tonight but slack at the back and 3 errors cost us. We were so comfortable it was unreal.
 

We have far bigger fish to fry this year. Yes disappointing not to see it out but lets move on to Sunday & another 3 points in the league. If this happened against Hamilton, Motherwell, Kilmarnock etc then I would be worried. 

I still maintain .We score more goals with at least 4 gilt edge chances .We don’t even think about defence  .And we are continuing to take 1 out of every 4/5 chances most of the time 

Composure is our biggest problem up front .Just my opinion

Not a fucking chance.

Goldson and Tav have both been sensational. Helander has been good up until tonight.

[ThenNowForever 232]

Helander has been immense when called upon. I know Goldson has played more but he has made a load more mistakes than him but because it’s against the dross he got away with it. Balogun should have started as he suited tonight more but fuck it, we move on. Top of two leagues atm

Immense? Ok.

How many mistakes has Goldson made this season?

Are you saying it should have been CG / LB or FH /LB who started?

Disagree, I should have said centre backs tbf. 

Nobody at the club can get close to him.
