Restonbabe Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Ever since his last injury Christophe Berra has not been the same player he once was. Lost a few yards of pace and time and time again it is showing. His positional awareness has cost us this season along 3 goals. One again today against celtic. I hope he is dropped when Souttar is fully fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunoatemyhamster Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Not going to knock Berra, its just his time to stop. Legs are away and never recovered from that injury. Should be slipping into the background. Id play Dikamona till Soapys back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the rest I am unfortunately (sad to see such a club stalwart going down the pan before your eyes) in agreement with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was partially to blame for the goal today but big Joel needs to be coming for that. Edited August 25, 2019 by E6 Inc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullied by Celtic player and let's it come of his hip or thigh and into the net. Keeper did come but Berra has to deal with it.

whodanny Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Just watched that back, that should've been Joel's ball all the way, Berra's positioning not great but keeper should be claiming that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Papa Phelps Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Neither Christophe or Joel come out looking good but my thoughts are if the keeper commits he has to make sure he gets there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berra got dominated and the ball came into keepers territory with him nowhere to be seen. Maybe he got a call from Berra but he should have claimed that 100% anyway.

Bobby was hung out to dry....christophe is undroppable! Sadly this. Goals aside, twice today he tried to play a simple pass 5 yards in front of him to Hickey and booted it out the park. What happens next? He berates Hickey! You can see the frustration on his face every game because he is an outstanding athlete and sets high expectations of himself in terms of performance. If he’s to continue to play, and as captain, he needs to remind himself of how that frustration looks to the players who look up to him. It doesn’t help. He needs to be composed and in control.

We beat ourselves gave them a headstart playing to deep . 2 of the goals we're offside or close both daft to lose. Played decent in patches and may of stolen a draw if we had their luck.

AJAMBO Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Thing is we need him to play as Souttar is out. Berra needs a rest he's playing on spent gas while requiring injections trying to get over previous injury. Souttar and Halkett will play together soon and Berra will get to rest recover or even retire he won't give in easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellczech Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Berra's form has been exactly aligned with Hearts form since he returned....Just saying...
