brunoatemyhamster Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Though he was better tonight, and doesn't deserve the flak he's been getting. He still played a few long balls to Uche though. Like he forgot he wasn't playing but then again so did our keeper so 9/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Wouldn't describe his performance as "outstanding " - just getting back to something more normal for him. The improvement was probably down to the players around him taking more responsibility . In truth they were all better but that wasn't hard bearing in mind what we've witnessed recently. The trick is to keep it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queensferryjambo Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 He has unfortunately been off form for a while. We can only hope he gets back up to his own high standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNox Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Probably his best performance since returning from injury. It can't all be down to us punting Bobby as GK, can it? Looked far more commanding defensively, his distribution is never going to be brilliant, but I don't mind that as long as he's dominating defensively, which he hasn't been doing recently. Great to see him back as a force defensively.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloustonHMFC Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Best performance for a while tonight. I still think we should move towards a Souttar and Halkett pairing with Souttar as captain when Souttar is back though.

Thoughts? He’s been excellent in many games post injury. The negative ‘clique’ on here don’t want to recognise that for some reason. Easily our best centre back. I would be very surprised if Souttar, Halkett or even McKenna replicate what Berra has achieved in the game! What a spine: Berra - Whelan - Naismith...

Seymour M Hersh Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 He was certainly more like his old self but still manages to appear to panic and hoof the ball (usually back to opposition players) when under not a lot of pressure.

Bull's-eye Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Cost us the goal. Don't care though, looks like there is a partnership forming and he obviously feels safer with what's going on behind him and in front of him. He set his own standards and rightly gets criticism when he doesn't meet that standard and he hasn't of late. IMO he's been below par for a long time and it looked like finally last night someone has had a word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I actually thought Berra played pretty well against Ross County, clearing numerous balls into the box and winning most against a striker who had 2-3 inches on him. If you can put yourself through it, watch BBC Alba’s 90 minute rerun. His moment of madness with Bobby was highlighted and folk have him done. Same at Aberdeen, the goal was a mistake but he shackled Cosgrove very well for the rest of the game. I love the big man and I want HIM partnering one (or both) of Souttar/Halkett rather than being left out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was beyond Berra so if you want to be really picky, there’s a Hearts player (can’t tell who on my phone) two yards deeper than everyone else playing Long onside.
