Helander for Goldson on Thursday please
Not a chance in hell that will happen.
Today was perfect chance to bed Helender and King.

I agree mate. Instead we're left with the option of continuing with players that are performing below par or throwing new lads into a European group game.Not a chance in hell that will happen.

Katic had a poor game today everyone was poor vs the unwashed. However the biggest issue isn’t the occasional poor game. It’s the fact that well drilled teams are using, Niko on his weak side to reset and regain shape, they drop off and let him have the ball knowing he wants to turn back inside onto his stronger side, it slows our play down massively which is a real issue when playing against a low block. It’s a double issue when Flanagan plays as both want to turn inside.

Didn’t Aribo set up Morelos?That defence, except Tav, had a day off today. Poor showing.
Aribo has now had four on the spin where he’s been anonymous. Ojo, I actually don’t know what to say.
No player can say they had a great game today.
Apparently he has not impressed in training thus far. Well according to another first team squad member.
What first team squad member? Honestly is this not the kind of shite Miller and Wallace were getting slated for??
Happy to PM my source to an Admin although I do admit it is purely hearsay.
As in the player did not tell me directly but I trust who told me.Purely hearsay but right out of the dressing room?

All about opinions.For me Helander should get a chance beside our best centre defender who is Katic. I reckon Gerrard would say it’s Goldson plus 1.
We spent over £3m on a swedish international. What part of that are you struggling with?What has Helander done on the pitch that makes you think he should play?

It's a great comment.Worry for me is it becomes a recurring theme I.e Grezda and Barasic.
3.5m was a huge chunk of our budget.
Significant oversight if they're not.Not struggling at all just because a player costs 3 million pounds doesn't mean he's an automatic choice if not fit or not doing it in training.
It happens no signings guaranteed because they cost more.Significant oversight if they're not.

It was Katic who was the issue today.
He was terrible.
The time for Helander was today.
Goldson and Katić have been poor. Our defence as a whole have been garbage for the majority of the season thus far.
The left back position is a real concern as well. Halliday isn't up to it. Today should be the last time we see him in that position.
I can’t see Helander being parachuted in for Thursday if he didn’t play yesterday. The Livi game would have been the perfect warm up match if the manager was thinking along those lines. If he replaces Goldson or Katic and has a mare then Gerrard will be slaughtered.
This is concerning on 2 levels. First, it seems that Goldson can do no wrong and is undroppable. This never sends a good message to the rest of the squad as well as obviously weakening the team. Secondly, we had £5.5m of defenders warming the bench whilst we shipped a cheap goal at home to Livingston. In our financial situation that is unacceptable. We cannot go on making these mistakes, and at the moment Helander is a mistake as there is no reason why he wouldn’t now be fit enough for first team action. Therefore there must be other reasons why he is not starting, especially after the horror show at Ibrox at the start of the month.
If the defence has a poor game on Thursday then the knives are going to be out for Gerrard and it’ll be difficult to defend him after such a sluggish start to the season (Legia excepted) and such a humiliating capitulation to the filth at Ibrox. Immediate and substantial improvement is required.
Heard a few weeks ago that he was struggling to make an impression and posted it on here. Was denied by ITKs though.
It's worrying that he's not found himself in the team yet. People saying he needs time to get up to speed / wait his chance etc when Ryan Kent walks right into the starting 11 as soon as he's here.
There's some amount of denial on here at times.
this is correct - it wasnt Goldson. I wonder what game some people watch at times.It was Katic who was the issue today.
He was terrible.
That's a good point. It's not as if the CB's have been top performers either.
Something not right with this.
Katic has been outstanding bar today and the Tim’s where the whole lot were pish
If he was ever going to start Helander I think it’d of been today.
I’d be surprised if he split up the defence for Thursday

He cost us £3.5m so he should be a starter? I give you Eros Grezda. He cost us £2m so he should be a starter. I don’t think so.
Goldson made an unnecessary error against the Dhims. Katic had a horrible day yesterday. Both were immense against Legia. In fact both have been steady all season bar the stuff I’ve mentioned, with Katic probably just edging it in terms of good, consistent form.
Helander will come in when he’s shown he’s good enough to displace one of the others, not because of his price tag. If he comes in for Katic - and that remains the most likely outcome - he’s on a hiding to nothing from the good people of FF I can tell you that now. God help him.
It's a great comment.
Pena, Herrara
Grezda, Barasic
We've fucked up a few significant transfers in recent years.
