And we have to be okay about that? Has Barisic form been that fucking outstanding this season?

We’re throwing a teenager in King in ahead of him on a regular basis. Mental for a guy that cost us £4m. Ridvan not getting a look in is absolutely bizarre as well. I think the ‘mask’ slipped with Gio post match tonight where he came as close as he probably ever will that he isn’t happy with the recruitment. Said he picked the team he thought was best placed to get a result based on what he has seen in training. Clemdog and esquire8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post eskbankloyal 19,446 Posted September 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2022 I’m in 2 minds about Gio. I felt after the celtic/ajax games the game was up for him. He got a reaction out of the squad tonight & I’d say got it tactically right up until the red card. The squad he is playing with is an embarrassment though. I just can’t shake the feeling he isn’t going to cut it though. His domestic away record will be his downfall. nik2402, Jelavic191, SkylineBlue and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep compact, launch balls up to Alfie and feed off scraps or get it wide with Tav and Barasic putting crosses in. Just feels like a matter of time now with him.

I’m sure that works quite well for a team like Feyenoord (who also aren’t quite at the level of PSV or Ajax) in the Eredivisie where most teams prioritise technical ability. It’s utterly pointless in a league like ours though, as literally every team is filled with grafters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero points in past 3 games with a goal difference of 11-0. Dundee United on Saturday is massive but we’ll get through that.

theblueoysterbar 20,233 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I'm sure it's mostly the board's fault, just not sure how much blame Gio deserves. He got a performance of sorts out of what he had to work with tonight. Haven't a clue where we're going here or where we'll end up.

Hindsight is great but that’s how evaluating signings in football usually works. You’re correct that nobody could see Barisic regaining form and everyone wanted a replacement brought in for Bassey, but the fact is it’s pretty mental that we spent the money we did on a replacement and still very rarely see him, even off the bench. I know literally nothing about Davies and knew nothing about him when he signed either other than Liverpool seen him as a waste of a signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
