Easily his best game of the season so far. Close call between him and Aribo for motm.
Great point. I think this is near the truthMaybe with his lack of fitness the way he had to play before screwed him a bit, with the new system he doesnt need to attack half as much allowing him to concentrate his energy on defending.
Best game he has had, good to see him play through this dip and hope he pushes on.
that was his best game this seasonIt’s been noticeable to me that the form being shown by Borna, especiallyhis defending, has improved markedly since Gio and his team have come in.
He seems to have recovered the solidity in his tackling and is standing up much better when under pressure.
It was noticeable that both him and Tav managed to block crosses coming in much more today than we’ve seen for a long time.
And, of course, with both of them staying further back we are not being caught with counterattack sucker punches.
Coincidence our new manager was a full back?It’s been noticeable to me that the form being shown by Borna, especiallyhis defending, has improved markedly since Gio and his team have come in.

It's not just any younger, we played a very intense press and fullbacks were asked to constantly bomb forward. It takes a hell of a lot out of you physically regardless of age. Then thrown in all his injuries.He’s not getting any younger.
Genuinely think taking a bit of the workload out of his legs by not asking him to go forward ALL the time will help him so much
It is the system he is playing. Defenders are defenders first and foremost. Wingers are his width and not his full-backs. Rangers attack with 5 players with 1 sitting midfielder and 2 attacking midfielders. The full-backs can join in on occasion but not every attack. You could see this once when rangers were attacking. Tavernier had played a role in phase 1 but when we had 5 players in the attack Tavernier was seen in the far wing moving back into his defensive position. Under Gerrard he would have stayed high.Is it fair to say almost all players have improved (so far) under Gio?
He done everything right but would have been a travesty if an attacking player never got it considering how much we created.Must have been a close shout for MOTM today.
