I thought he did the bare minimum today going forward. I felt he was making sure he didn't get injured.
I think the main issue is we have all seen how effective Barisic can be when he played against us for Osijek.
That’s the kind of performances we want to see for Rangers. At the moment it’s like they’ve sent us his wee brother instead of the guy with the bandage.
Hopefully performances will improve as he settles in and gets a run of games.
He worries me.
He hid the entire game.
I think he's been knobbled. Seriously. Something is not right with him.
I defy anyone to argue against the fact he done absolutely fück all for us today.
Might come across as harsh as his career with us to date has been very stop/start due to injuries but he’s looking very average just now. For me he looks terrified of playing for us, takes the safe option every time.
Granted he overlapped a few times today and the formation in the first half probably limited him from getting up and down the wing as much and to be fair, he was available for a pass most of the game but I’d like to see a lot more from him.
The player we seen for Osijek isn’t the one we are getting.
Anyone still want to tell me I’m wrong? I took a lot of heat in this thread after we beat St Mirren
He’s terrified of playing for us, especially at Ibrox. Goes with the safe option every time.
It’s going to be interesting to see how long Gerrard persists with him. He offers absolutely zero at the moment. Gerrard has consistently said he won’t stand for passengers at this club so let’s see how this one plays out. I think he will continue with Barisic as he knows there’s a player there, as we all do but he’s doing absolutely nothing to justify his position.
There’s a guy on our bench that gives so much more on current form. If Barisic played against Celtic in December, as crazy as it sounds, I don’t think we win that game. Halliday’s early challenge on Ntcham sets the tone for us that day. There’s zero chance of Barisic making that kind of tackle.
His attitude and desire needs to change or he’s never going to make it at Rangers. This is despite his saving grace on here of him being a Croatian international.

I’m genuinely starting to worry about him now. He’s technically very good, no question. But it’s useless if he’s going to shite his pants and crumble under the weight of expectation.
He looked terrified out there today.
Has a wand of a left foot some of his deliveries are fantastic.
This is what I don't get. He looks like he's been told Barcelona and Real Madrid have sent scouts to watch him before the game.I’m genuinely starting to worry about him now.

Yea, at times today he literally looked like he had two left feet. Very strange. Dunno what it is but this is not the same player that played against us for Osijek. Have huge concerns for him.There’s something not right about Barasic . Someone with his ability should not be putting in displays like today . He fell over three times today when trying to pass . It’s all very bloody strange with him .
FFS Empire. Delete before anyone sees.
Fail of a thread
Played well. OP is totally clueless
The thought of this guy playing at the paedodome gives me the shits.Luckily I think the manager has seen this and Halliday will play from here on in .
Why?
Barisic played at the paedodome earlier in the season and we only lost 1 goals.
Halliday has started left back for us a few times v Celtic and we’ve conceded 2’s, 3’s, 4’s and 5’s.
That’s a terrible argument. Barisic has had a much better team around him for a start.
Halliday with the same team around him has had a league victory against Celtic and a MOTM performance.
He looked absolutely terrified and overwhelmed yesterday.Anyone still want to tell me I’m wrong? I took a lot of heat in this thread after we beat St Mirren

OP was spot on with this.
The guy is not interested. The manager has called him out a couple of times also.
So we’ve to discount all of Hallidays performances except one because it doesn’t fit the narrative?
He hasn't one ounce of aggression in hid makeup for starters.As for all the great overlapping and crosses he was going to give us?.Sorry ,the desire to produce isn't there eitherWhy?

Your defence of Barisic is admirable but you are being a bit erratic now to be honest.
You are the one who’s brought up Halliday’s performances against Celtic in a different team with a different manager. You’ve chosen to bring up scuddings we’ve had over the years with players like Martin, Bates, Kerinan, Cardoso and Wilson playing alongside him.
If we look at Barisic’s record vs Celtic compared with Halliday’s record vs Celtic with this same team and same manager, Halliday comes out with a win and a MOTM. His tackle early in the game sets the tone for us to win the game. Barisic is never ever doing that.
Why?
Barisic played at the paedodome earlier in the season and we only lost 1 goals.
Halliday has started left back for us a few times v Celtic and we’ve conceded 2’s, 3’s, 4’s and 5’s.
That’s it, I’m convinced. Halliday is the missing piece and we’d win every game if he started.
Except, last time he started we lost and conceded two goals. Since then, we’ve kept three clean sheets in four games and haven’t lost.
He had one good game v Celtic though so we should forget all his dreadful ones.
Halliday started at Rugby Park in the cup and we had a clean sheet. He also started at Cowdenbeath and scored.....
It can be presented that way as well.
