loveofthegame Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Part of a defence yet to concede from open play after 5 league games (albeit with a bit of luck from a shocking decision by a linesman yesterday). Hibs have been incredibly ordinary from what i've seen so far this season but the fact that they aren't conceding goals gives them a platform to snatch wins like against Utd and St J, and pick up spare points like v Motherwell. He has a lot to work on, in particular how rash he is, but whether you like him or not he will be a very competent Scottish Premiership CH.

At Porteous's age now McLaren was marking Roberto Baggio out of the game for Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 He’s one of those idiots that Hibs seem to produce that every interview they mention how big a fan they are of Hibs. Like they’re unique in playing for their club of choice, he’s also the type that feeds off the crowds noise which is what makes him play recklessly the way he does. As others have said before he is going to cause a bad injury at some point, hopefully not to another player. And when it does happen the chances are it will be a Easter Road against the OF or in a derby when the East Stand thugs are at their most vocal egging him on. Proper good players learn to play calm, emotion and Adrenalin only go so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ages ago, a young female journalist was interviewing Colin Meade about his career. At one point she suggested to him that rugby was a hard and sometimes brutal game. It certainly is he responded sarcastically, don't forget that in my first international I broke a leg. Fortunately, it wasn't one of mine.

OTT Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 He's good in the air and seems solid enough defensively. He needs to cut out the rash tackles though. Did he not hurt himself already against Dundee Utd and it basically ended his season? I think he's a poor mans McKenna tbh. Rather have McKenna's calmness and physicality.

Gorillajam Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 "Porto" is a loose canon who charges into players with the sole intent to injury them. I recall that red card he received against The Rangers at Easter Road. "Porto" is a clumsy lump whose distribution of the ball is exceptionally poor. He's technically terrible and he's hot headed. Yet he's being touted for a Scotland call up. Modern day CB's are expected to be good with the ball at their feet. I'm paraphrasing Brendan Rogers but he once said that if a centre back cannot dribble himself out of trouble he's not good enough to play for Celtic - he wasn't encouraging his Celtic CB's to go on Maradona runs but more they should have that ability. Its a crying shame that Souttar has suffered with injuries. He's what you would refer to as a modern centre back - he has the touch and passing of a midfielder. He is still youngster and has the potential to play at a higher level then Scotland. Scott Mckenna (another overhyped Scottish player) in fairness looked good for the sheep on Saturday. Considerably better than "Porto". Its utterly depressing when Scotlands CB pairing could potentially be Mckenna and "Porto". Neither of them are a patch on Weir, Webster or Pressley.

CBjambo Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I think Hearts could do with a player like him in terms of noising up the opposition and getting in their faces. We haven’t had a player like that since Ian Black! The fact that Morelos, Tavenier and Gerrard wouldn’t shake his hand at the end of the game shows he did enough to annoy them sufficiently - well done. Gerrard is classless if he thinks managing the Rangers will get him the Liverpool hot seat he’s so wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
