gashauskis9 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I thought Berra was steadier than Halkett today and that’s saying something (I’m not a Berra fan). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E6 Inc Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Berra is a fighter but what has happened to his footballing ability?! Its gone from low to non-existent. Halkett is a great player but Naismith or Whelan are the captains. Glad we've got some more leaders emerging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berra didn't make any silly mistakes today but it's time to move forward and get some more pace and agility in the team.

Berra didn't make any silly mistakes today but it's time to move forward and get some more pace in the team. Not disagreeing on the whole, but I’m not going to slate Berra after that performance today. My issue with Halkett though is that his clearing headers are too short and he’s prone to giving away stupid free kicks outside the box (which is stupid when Mallan’s playing).

Bull's-eye Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Whelan protecting Berra and Smith covering his lack of pace worked well today, away from home we sit deeper which suits Berra much better attacking the ball. If we could just keep a regular defence for a while I think we'd become very hard to beat again, all the changes ruin continuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagan Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 I'm not slating berra, he did well today but it's time to move forward. Players like Berra and Clare have been a main stay in a team that have been underperforming for months. Look what happened when clair came off today, We ****ing won! Snap out of it folks.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Berra was good today. A lot of folk saying he is finished, I disagree with that sentiment. He can do a job for us. He looked fitter and faster today and I think he still has a lot to offer. Halkett, no need to thrust any armband on him just let him keep playing his football. He is getting better and better and a big part of that is due to playing alongside the 40 cap experience of Berra. Smith was very influential too, as was the keeper, and the outstanding Hickey Hope we can put a good defensive run together now.

I'm not slating him for this one game, he did ok, no mistakes for a change.

Thumperbeni Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Berra was ok today but anyone who can’t see he’s past it are just as guilty of the same kind of loyalty we are all accusing CL has over AB, Berra with the ball at his feet is a bombscare, his positional sense has gone to pot because he just hasn’t got the pace to turn, he should be dropped as soon as souttar is fit and then we can build from the back with both Halkett and souttar both very calm and composed on the ball.

Beast Boy Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Berra was much better today. Hopefully that’s him out of his malaise. Agree with above; Whelan made a huge difference.

Peebo Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Berra was great today. The natural captain in the current squad is Smith, though. I’m not fully convinced by Halkett. He was very good today, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloustonHMFC Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 If anyone should be given the captaincy it’s John Souttar but I think it wouldn’t be for the best to take it off Berra this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackal Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I don't think it makes much difference who the captain is, every player has the ability to speak and motivate on the pitch not just the captain. Having players in different areas of the park that are vocal has to benefit the team. Berra has a long standing association with the club so is probably the reason he is captain.

I've never actually rated berra if i'm honest, but when he first came back he was immense. Same with Andy Webster, always though Pressley carried him but when he came back.. he did a job. But yeah, pressley was better than webster, Halkett is better than berra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
