Swally 6,289 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 He's been absolutely brilliant so far this season, he made some mistakes in this game but it was a real quality he was playing against. No matter how poor we made Benfica look, they have real quality in their side. Players will make mistakes, it's inevitable, thankfully Helander doesn't make that many mistakes, so time to draw a line under it and move on imo.

Prso's headband 35,766 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I love how people are quick to jump on his lack of pace, which didn’t cause any of Benficas goals lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougie76 15,359 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 We win and lose as a team, the big man has been great so far this season but he just wasn't at it last night, like others have said we dust ourselves down and go again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor_Chang 1,069 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 What a complete lot of shite. Helander has been absolutely outstanding for us since he signed. Yes he had a howler tonight but I honestly can't remeber when he had a game like that. I am sure the last time he made a mistake was Feynoord away.

Prso's headband 35,766 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I actually think Gerrard is getting off lightly as well. The back 4 should’ve been 10 yards deeper and I don’t get why he didn’t bring Balogun on, he even brought him on against Kilmarnock. Hope the players aren’t even thinking about it today and just focusing on getting the job done on Sunday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come he didn’t catch him? After all he’s actually looking at the player Helander can’t even see him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second goal comes from a through ball from a quick free kick, the guy is through and Mcgregor comes out and tackles him. Helander then makes a complete cunt of it again. Goldson tries to cover across at third goal and also not to clever. He should be clipping the strikers heels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t cause - but could have prevented if he could of matched the pace of the guy he was marking. Particularly their second and third. He looked like he wouldn’t win the dad’s race at sports day for their third ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that if the team and management had the awareness in the last 90seconds of the match to drop back 10 yards it wouldn’t have happened anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnsey 1,540 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I thought when they went down to 10 that he might have brought Balogun on. We were in control, camped in their half at times so the only danger was a quick counter. Balogun's pace would be huge in that instance. Helander would have been better suited if we were under the cosh for long periods. I'm massively disappointed but overall the team have been fantastic and it's a reminder of what happens at the top level when you make silly mistakes.

BlueSuedeSambas 54,231 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Still can’t get my head around the fact that the guy has had one poor performance in 18 games (which mainly stemmed from making a mistake early doors against a very good side and never quite regaining his composure and confidence BTW) and now people are deriding him, wanting him to “GTF” and saying we need to replace him because he isn’t quick enough. Some people need to get a grip and stop acting like spoilt, petulant children. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, we were all disappointed last night that their goal came so late, but ffs, every man and his dug would have taken a point pre kick off. Those same folk are football geniuses, despite only ever played the game for Sunday league teams, so their knowledge is limited to say the least.
