Popular Post ianferguson 2,619 Posted July 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2023 That first Newcastle goal showed Barasic up for the poor defender he is. Firstly he takes a bad touch and loses possession giving them a turn over, then he tries to compensate by covering centrally instead of holding his position, surprise surprise his unmarked man scores comfortably ,feels like I've seen it all before. graeme_4, WilliamMunny, ayrshireranger and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did barisic come inside I'll never know, one striker once centre half, yet barisic leaves his man to double up on the striker Get him to fuck The Godfather and GA1972 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second goal was pretty Rangers as well, space down the right, cross not cut out, and LB sleeping. How many times do we concede that goal.

Tbh though I'm not sure we even had a set defence at that point, was Lowry not on for Tav and it looked like we were going for the win? graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yfeko did well initially to track the runner but then allowed him to get the cross in, header looked a bit lucky as it seemed to loop up pretty high and drop in. I am in CR so not the best view.

Yeah, he’s going to have the develop a bit of aggression and work on upper body strength to make up for the lack of height. Positional awareness is the first thing you want from defenders so that they get in front of the attacker but if they can’t then they need to have enough about them to challenge and put them off rather than giving them clear headers/tap-ins OrangeRab 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yfeko has 14 appearances in the lowland league, other than that it’s all youth appearances. I thought he did well last night and looked quite comfortable on the ball and his range of passing was decent. I wouldn’t read too much into the cross since he obviously doesn’t want to challenge and bring him down for a penalty, so he just stood his ground. It was a makeshift defence by that point and I think if he comes in and plays alongside Goldson he’ll be better off for it (much like Bassey when he partnered goldson) ayro, qwerty, HG5 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree on Goldson, he makes all of our defensive players better with his organisation and leadership, sooner he’s back the better.

I think we can give the lad a pass on this one especially as he looked very promising apart from that. GlasgowRangersFC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This goes back to Lee Wallace, he used to be chronic for drifting out of position. And moving in centrally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAvenger 10,756 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I’m not convinced Yilmaz is the answer but Barisic has to go. A new left back required ! Moody Blue, HG5 and Smile 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose244 2,660 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 The difference when Yilmaz came on was night and day imo, he will take a man on and beat him! Playing Borna and Tav so deep totally negates their qualities (Borna has only 1 btw). It's basically 2 empty shirts as they contribute nothing defensively, other than showing our opposition a clear and obvious weak link and clear route to goal.

bluenoz 32,501 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Ridvan was nowhere near his man to challenge for the header at the second goal but little gets said about it. Meanwhile, it's all about slating Borna at the first goal. The midfield and Davies were equally exposed, leaving Barisic in no-man's-land. Borna's was rubbish last night and his time may well be up and getting a fee in his last year is good business, but I'm still not convinced by Ridvan. I also thought Tav was nothing special last night. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought Butland could have came for the cross. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
