Jambo-Jimbo Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Not been the same since he came back, maybe the injury has left it's mark and he's doing the best he can, he just isn't nowhere near the same player as he was, and the worst is the opposition now know it and are targeting him by trying to expose him all the time.

savage Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 He is not comfortable on left of a 3. I would not be playing him. It leaves him exposed. Opposition load up the other side so we give him the ball cause they know he will just shell it up the park giving them possession back.

Morph Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Very poor since coming back from injury. Can't play in a back 3 either, needs to go back to being paired with soapy and 2 proper full backs. Not sure if our injuries + suspension will let us play with full backs though. Think at least mulraney will need to play at wing back again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Moysey Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Has to play in a back 4 or not at all. He breaks down the play and has zero ability to distribute quickly. Gives the ball away so often. He is a great defender. First half today very poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to blame mulraney, on what planet is he ever going to compete physically with that Main guy? I don't think mulraney should be playing wing back, but this sort of thing will happen when he is played there. He's a wee tricky winger type, not someone who's going to be keeping possession against big target men when he needs to use his strength.

Russ1977 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Berra was rushed back from his injury as we where going through a rough patch. Looks totally devoid of confidence and can barely get up to 3/4 pace when he’s running. Maybe needs taken out the team team to work on his fitness for a bit.

avhudtheteeshirt Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Today I thought Berra needed a full back outside him as Motherwell were always trying to get him on 1 on 1 out on the right. With the young boys pace Berra was never likely to keep up. Losing Smith has stop our defense having decent cover with 3 at the back. Think we need to revert to straight back 4.

colinmaroon Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I was screaming at the telly, "Stop backing off;" at that first goal. He looked more comfortable when Garuccio came on (for a while). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull's-eye Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 His whole personality on the pitch has changed, it's nothing to do with his position or his injury. He was dominating the defence last season, he was controlling everything in defence, he now looks lost and unfocused and is not in control. Need him to pull the ****in finger out imo.

Bauldrick Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I've got two lines of thought on Berra, 1. he's been rushed back into action too quickly at his age after such a serious injury and 2. he should not be exposed way out in the left back position, his main strength is in the centre of defence with his ball winning ability in heading and his strength in the tackle, he aint no Fyssas, elegant he aint, distribution and speed out on the wing are just not his thing.

Bring Back Paulo Sergio Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Levein is partly to blame here. Play to your players strength, not shoehorn them in to a position they're not comfortable with. Play him centrally, in a back 4 or not at all.

Beast Boy Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I’ve no worries over Berra. He’s been a bit shaky compared to his usual imperious self, but he’ll sort that out. To be writing him off as crocked and finished is sadly typical of modern day supporters unfortunately. Only thing that concerns me slightly, is the rapid rise of Souttar meaning he will be gone before he can pass on the knowledge to young Hamilton.

Cruyff Turn Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Christophe is one of the best defenders in the league but looks to have lost a bit pace since his injury. I like a back 3 but if we’re going to play it, keep Christophe the central of the 3 and stop hanging him out covering the left channel where he doesn’t have the pace. I’d be punting Shaughnessy and bringing in a quick left sided centerhalf in the summer which will hopefully give us better balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree with this. I’d rather have Dikamona than Berra right now. He also cost us a goal at Killie. He can’t pass a ball unless it’s under 10 yards and it’s anybody guess where the ball lands from his headed clearances. I don’t think he even knows himself. His confidence has gone and he doesn’t command his area like he used to. You can’t even hear him shouting at players these days. He needs dropped ASAP. If it’s good enough for Vanacek then it’s good enough for Berra. Definitely needs to play in a back 4 as that’s his strongest position Edited February 17, 2019 by Saughton Jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 He needs rested. He's been pish of late but I'm not going to jump the gun and write him off.
