Aye mate well chuffed for him sorting that part of his game out, boys only really had one bad game for us against St Mirren other games he done well but was lacking final ball and got caught out a couple of times with long balls over the top but it was pretty obvious he had huge potential, hopefully he kicks on from this tonight and makes the position his Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShanksRFC 3,867 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Roofe, Kamara and Hagi were outstanding tonight. Their movement was different level. Also, Patterson and Bassey, both outstanding. Two players that would raise their game for any occasion I think. falkirkNS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he isn’t 100% fit yet I’d start Bassey on Thursday again - certainly deserves to on tonights showing. dee9 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borna has his skills, but nowhere near what Bassey has got all round. Gerrard cannot drop bassey here, the bigman was the standout in pre season, only 21 and no first team experience, we need to blood the youth and give this side energy. Hes strong, aggressive and takes more chances than barasuc would right now, borna pass the baw back or sideways or cross to no one. Bassets Jersey, it annoyed me he dropped out after Livingston to start with. Foot through the take annoyed if he drops out again after tonight.

Until he finds his major and grows some aggression, fighting mentality then it's basseys Jersey. JuliusC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,649 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Tbf to Goldson, he has had three different CH pairings in the last three games. It's a position you shouldn't tinker with unless you have to. The Helander situation is confusing. If he plays next Thursday, it will be 15 days between games. Not ideal. I'm going to go against the grain and say as brilliant as Bassey was, I still start Barisic in Europe. The Tavernier one is not so clear cut imo but that is for a thread on its own...

Popular Post SIRB_72 3,985 Posted August 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2021 I said it at half time but that was so much better tonight. A lot like the Rangers I remember going unbeaten and scoring 102 league points. Firstly we protected our defence well with our central midfield choice without hurting us going forward. Kamara with Aribo and Lundstram either side looks a midfield with much more balance than Lundstram has played in so far and he played well. The midfield protected Goldson and Simpson, who let's be fair, needed it and allowed Patterson and Bassey to bomb forward. If Bassey doesn't start on Thursday it's extremely unfair on him. On the point of protecting the centre halfs I think that worked really well last season. We barely needed our centre halfs to do any work before January (domestically) because we controlled games and nothing went through our midfield. Once we get back to that regularly we'll be picking up clean sheets regularly again. We allowed Dunfermline 2 shots all night and that's what we were doing to teams at our best last season. Going forward we had it coming from all directions. Roofe, Wright and Hagi linked up really well, Bassey and Patterson didn't stop and their willingness to get to the byline was very impressive and Aribo and Lundstram worked really well at taking turns going forward and sitting with Kamara. Listen, I know it was Dunfermline who will struggle in a lower division but tonight we handled this game how we should have and won 5-0. It doesn't take Tuesday's pain away but we have to start somewhere and that was much more like us.

If any one of the other available CH's made the mistakes that Goldson has made so far this season they would be dropped and fall down the pecking order. Edmundson was dropped for much less.

bluenoz 30,649 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 There was a different flow to the game. Great crosses, passes through the middle and plenty of one-twos because of the constant running of the ball. Tav, Barisic and Tav have become predicable. Tonight was refreshing. The aforementioned three will bounce back and be good players again because they are. Sitting and watching that will get rid of any complacency that was taking place.
