Has been terrible for months. What I hate most about any player is them hiding in games. If you get on the ball and it doesn’t happen for you, fair enough, you learn from it.
He rarely shows for the ball and his first thought is how do I get this back to the centre half safely. Shell of the player we saw against us and over in Villarreal.
Other than Villareal away he has been ansolutely honking. Genuinely don't know what your seeing with him.He hasn't been terrible for months. If he has been terrible for months, I'm sure you'll have a list of the countless time he's cost us goals due to being terrible?
A lot of people are confusing a lack of mental toughness and being terrible.
We expected a lot more from him obviously but to say he's been terrible when we've witnessed Flanagan being hauled off at half time more times than I can remember for being actually terrible, it's laughable to use that term for Barisic.

Guy has honestly done nothing.
When he gets the ball you just know he’s not going to make anything happen.
Playing more like Hodson every time I see him in non action.
He's got to sort himself fuukin out.
You think what he contributes is measured solely on the goals we conceded?Easy enough to list the countless times he's cost us goals then if he's been absolutely honking.
I'll wait.
That was absolutely nothing to with Barisic. Being at the game I was fuming at the absolute lack of movement from out players to create space for him to throw the ball too.How many times did he throw the ball to the head of an Aberdeen player?

I'll take that a no you cannot list off the countess goals he has been at fault for.
You said he has been absolutely honking, that would mean he's been making mistakes and causing goals from the left back area of the park. Other posters have pointed out he was bad up against Greg Stewart in the 4-2 game a few weeks back, last night, he was as culpable as Jack and Kamara in the 2nd goal.
Other than that it should be easy to list off his mistakes.
He's been bang average since he's been here, mainly through injuries and a loss of confidence, but not really been suspect defensively, or it would have been easy to list off examples, ala Flanagan being hauled off at half time in numerous games this season.
Just think at some of the absolutely honking defenders and full backs we've had in the last 7 years. Hyperbole does no one any favours.

The ability isn’t there?He’s been a huge disappointment, thought he would be a star for us.
He lacks the mentality but also the ability, if we can get our money back we should move him on
so far he's been poor to chronic, so bad even his own team mates dont want to pass to him but you crack on with the hyperbole.
FFS.Tin hat n that
I'm wondering if there are man management problems here. Ejaria chucking it, Coolbilly and now Barisic looking poor after strong starts.
I agree with this. He has the quality, it has been there to see. I don't believe it is a lack of heart or any of that stuff, I think his season has been hampered and his confidence has took a massive pummeling. I don't think his confidence has been helped by some players (Worrall and Jack mainly) constantly on at him when I am watching people be much worse in the same games.
Then you have points where he is in great positions and he doesn't get the ball? Take yesterday for example, Kent and Tavs delivery were woeful, but Barisic isn't deserving of a pass when he is in a great position to cross? Most of the time he doesn't get a pass is through Kent. I don't believe it is because Kent doesn't trust, it's because Kent just doesn't ever play that reverse pass.
How has he been chronic? He's severely out of form and has confidence problems, but no one can seem to list all the mistakes he has made to be labelled "chronic" and "absolutely honking"
As I've said alread, I question why our players were ignoring him in favour of giving the ball to Candieas for him to punt crosses into the stand.
i thought it was plainly obvious last night that only did kent and others seem very reluctant to pass to him, he never made runs inside the full back when kent was looking to slip him in. He stands motionless on the touchline waiting for the pass. He was dreadful last night.
We should have kept Dj, he was fast and gave his all and wasn't a bad a player at all ,snuffed out Forrest a couple of times, strange how we has sold so quickly.
No world beater but i liked his energy and drive down the left.
Yes that Declan John, the one who gave a shit and had some pace to take players on and hit the byline, i dont care about cross % stats, he was a decent player and better than Barisic, not a great defender but at least offered something going forward.John who was statistically one of the worst % wise a stopping crosses. That Declan John?
People calling out Barisic but actively wanting someone who has been proven to be so bad defensively.

Look at the state of him in the last few games v Aberdeen amongst others, utterly dreadful !
Well Barisic cant do either, Dj offered an attacking threat and i dont remember seeing him being ripped apart that often, he gave 100% and didnt go hiding.A defender who cannot defend is not a decent player.

Barisic looks like he has tanned a bottle of vodka before stepping onto the pitch, he has been dreadful and enough is enough for me, im all for giving players time but he has had too much.
I have to disagree with you, you could bring these countless examples of dj's sloppy defending but im really not that fussed, he offered an attacking threat, at least, Barisic offers nothing at all, he is hopeless !Declan John was part of the worst defence I've ever seen at Rangers last season.
John was awful at defending, you know his main job. He was a reason why our defence was awful, he couldn't stop the crosses which often resulted in carnage in the box.
Easy enough to list the countless times he's cost us goals then if he's been absolutely honking.
I'll wait.
He's one of these players who you cant recall doing anything good or bad, so whats the point in him?
I never said he was responsible for goals conceded I said defensively he has been shite, which he has, and that he was hiding and offering nothing like what he should be for the money we paid for him.I'll take that a no you cannot list off the countess goals he has been at fault for.

This guy surely isn’t the same player we saw playing for Osijek? Looks like a rabbit in the headlights and bottles it from any confrontation. The boy Ferguson was giving him a mouthful in the 2nd half and he went completely into his shell. Not what we require by a long shot.
FFS.
Gerrard’s fault?
Kent refused to pass to him because he goes insidea and gets tunnel vision.
He was average last night, If he was dreadful last night wtf have our full backs being for the previous 7 years.
He doesOverall he has been pish, but has a sweet left foot, baffles me why he doesn't take corners
not too sure what your point is here?
was stevie smith or foster not very good, yes. Barsisic, up to this point in his rangers, also doesnt look very good.
Give the guy a break FFS, he's been injured most of the times he's been here and now our footballing sages are comparing him to Hodson!
It's not hyperbole though is it? Every single example given on this thread can be backed up with evidence of what we see on the park from him.My point was hyperbole does no one any favours. When people are using terms absolutely howling, dud, chronic after watching Lee Hodson and Ricky Foster for the last 7 years they've lost all sense of reality.
Barisic has been nowhere near that bad, those players previously mentioned were out of their depth in league 1 ffs.
im sure you've defended barisic a few times recently but he is awful, so bad that i want halliday in for him. Aberdeen targeted him in the previous game and last night, barisic is a massive weak spot for us.
