Mate forwarded me the tweet and I must admit I had a wee chuckle.

It makes sense to do it with a right footer, it’s his weak side but cutting in on his left. But showing salah who is left footed onto his left side is just asking for trouble.Borna always shows his opponent inside. Always has done and probably always will. It wasn't peculiar to Salah. As recently as last weekend we saw him do it against Humphreys every time. Can only assume it's a tactical thing. It goes right back to when Gerrard signed him and hasn't changed.
No he cuts back and finds a man when nothing in front of him to aim for ,maybe you'd rather he just hoofed it up the pitch to the opposition.I cannot agree with that at all, Barisic most certainly was not ok, Liverpool are obviously a great team but he is nowhere near aggressive enough, never gets close to his man and more often than not turns his back and allows the cross to come in, when given the chance to get forward he almost always cuts back and passes the buck.
Dundee in the cup is when we should start him.Would start on Sat for me
No getting away that Tilman was hopeless, Tav wont be replaced. Davis, easy replaced we have options. Kent once again the scape goat, only player that looked like creating anything.
Absolute rubbish, try watching the game with your blinkers off.No he cuts back and finds a man when nothing in front of him to aim for ,maybe you'd rather he just hoofed it up the pitch to the opposition.
Our captain was our worst defender last night by a long way.If you are going to single someone out,at least make it resemble reality
I actually thought he kept Salah relatively quiet, think he got one or two shots but it’s Salah FFS. He runs rings against PL level fullbacksIt wasn't Borna's worst performance of the season, given what he was up against. We might see Yilmaz at the weekend, but I doubt it. Against Dundee in the Cup is when I expect to see him.
Kent !! Are you mad he has scored only one goal in 2022..Waste of timeNo getting away that Tilman was hopeless, Tav wont be replaced. Davis, easy replaced we have options. Kent once again the scape goat, only player that looked like creating anything.
And yet he was the only one of our fullbacks that actually got a half decent cross in last nightCan’t wait to see this guy
Borna is the most negative full back I’ve ever seen
After the peadodome last season and shitbaggery where calum mcgregor called him a s*itebag live on sly sports. He was finished for me.Here we go again.quick guys ,jump on the Borna slagging train .FFS give it a rest .
Borna ,like the rest of the defensive line had a tough night against one of the top premier clubs ,mainly due to our midfields inability to hold the ball for more than 2 passes and a front line that was powder puff until the changes came late on.
The golf in class of the players is all down to money which our league just doesn't provide access to .
Their passing ,movement and confidence on the ball had us flapping in the wind for 70 mins .
In Sala ,Borna was up against one of the worlds top wingers,add in AA on the lap and i'm sure you'll get the drift .
To point the finger at him when he did ok defensively and obviously couldn't get forward until the changes came is a bit rich,considering our worst defender by a mile was Tav who couldn't pass his water atm and has been like that all season .
Now get the heads out the clouds and face reality .
Surely the game to now play him is Saturday, Borna's worst performance this season, although i do get that he has been consistent. I Think it's the perfect chance to freshen it up and give Yilmaz the time he needs to prove himself.
Teams have worked out how to combat our fullbacks even in Scotland it was no surprise a team like Liverpool would stop what we do and make the players look very average.It wasn't Borna's worst performance of the season, given what he was up against. We might see Yilmaz at the weekend, but I doubt it. Against Dundee in the Cup is when I expect to see him.
AgreedSurely the game to now play him is Saturday, Borna's worst performance this season, although i do get that he has been consistent. I Think it's the perfect chance to freshen it up and give Yilmaz the time he needs to prove himself.
Teams stop our fullbacks passing or going up wide so they both cut in into traffic , we either change the fullbacks or we change how they play.No he cuts back and finds a man when nothing in front of him to aim for ,maybe you'd rather he just hoofed it up the pitch to the opposition.

Don’t worry that’ll soon get knocked out of him.I'll be surprised if Yilmaz starts on saturday. He's far too offensive for Gio.
Being serious though, he has an opportunity to freshen it up and take a few out who are obviously struggling for full fitness.....Lundstram, Tavernier,
The myth that Borna has been playing well is strange. He's been bang average.
Yilmaz will be lucky to see game time apart from Dundee
What you say is 100% correct, but tbf he was up against Mo Salah. By the way did anyone else notice the amount of times Tav was over at LB position (especially at corners) as if doubling up on Salah, who in fairness was kept "relatively" QuietSurely the game to now play him is Saturday, Borna's worst performance this season, although i do get that he has been consistent.

I wouldn't be under estimating St Mirren on Saturday they are going well and will be right up for this game trying to beat us after the scum result. Strongest team out for me and only change when comfortable as the league is our priority.If he can't start at home to St Mirren after a big midweek game then just put him up for sale.
Need to disagree guys, I have posted a few times regarding BB and feel he HAS been our most consistent player. But this season there has not been any standouts imoBang average and I'm amazed people are saying he's had a good season to date.
Not one player in our squad has been consistent this season.
Usually cuts back looking for KentNo he cuts back and finds a man when nothing in front of him to aim for ,maybe you'd rather he just hoofed it up the pitch to the opposition.

Could have sworn we’ve seen him.Crazy the money we have spent on him and hes not been given a chance .
Play Moro do on the left he looks better thereI’d change the left side completely with Ridvan and Matondo replacing Borna and Kent. I don’t rate Matondo but he actually looked decent when he came on last night and Kent needs a boot up the arse. With Yilmaz, to spend the amount of money we have on a player that doesn’t appear to get a look in is baffling.
Unfortunately that is by far the best description of him I've ever heard, he's a defender who can't defend.Someone posted on twitter 'Borna defends like every winger has a knife'
And now I can't unsee it.
Manager said as muchThere's little point in persisting with Barisic and his fluctuations between absolute cowardice and slightly above average.
The only conclusion is that Yilmaz is so bad in training the manager can't trust him in games.
It was stated that the player liason is helping him settle in. I.e finding a flat, adapt to area and culture, language etc. He has apparently shown well in training.There's little point in persisting with Barisic and his fluctuations between absolute cowardice and slightly above average.

I hope so.It was stated that the player liason is helping him settle in. I.e finding a flat, adapt to area and culture, language etc. He has apparently shown well in training.
I have feeling that he will get more game time just this has been an adaptability period.
"Project / one for the future/ We never signed him for 5 weeks, we signed him for 5 years"....Why have we spunked the majority of our budget on a player, that doesn’t play. Fucking stupidity
What difference would he have made last night?Teams have worked out how to combat our fullbacks even in Scotland it was no surprise a team like Liverpool would stop what we do and make the players look very average.
I would like to see Yilmaz start just to give the opponents pause for thought.
Better player? What are you basing that opinion on?he should start every week and should have been all season. Borna has done better, but Ridvan is surely a better player and he's not going to settle in without game time.
Agree mate but he has to start games and Barisic is not playing out his skin anyway.I wouldn't be under estimating St Mirren on Saturday they are going well and will be right up for this game trying to beat us after the scum result. Strongest team out for me and only change when comfortable as the league is our priority.
I keep hearing Borna is playing well.
Hes been a starter for a while now and cant remember a goal that hes made.
Rarely makes overlapping runs and always wants to go back. Goes missing for the big games.
Id like to see Ylimaz get a few full games under his belt and challenge him.
Worst player on the park by a country mile and that's saying something. You could tell by the look on his face he knew it too.
Anyone having a go at certain players, but missing out JL, must either have a blind spot when it comes to him, or an agenda against others.

We don't know anything about Yilmaz but the signs are not promising, he had one of the worst debuts I have seen for a Rangers player but I will reserve judgement but not looking good when Borna is keeping him out the teamAfter the peadodome last season and shitbaggery where calum mcgregor called him a s*itebag live on sly sports. He was finished for me.
Yilmaz will give us positivity and aggression, will to get forward link up play i feel we are missing.
