Jaspa Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 Looks absolutely gassed half the time. Was hoping for a more technical(left sided) Danny Simpson ... might aswell have kept Simmo Still think he'll come good for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I don’t have a problem giving players chances as they need 5-6 games to bed in. But he’s had that now and is getting worse not better. Thomas should start the harder games and Bertrand the rotation games as it stands. Next up is Man U… I’d rather Thomas against Sancho than Bertrand.

CosbehFox Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 Never gets back into position when out of it. Looks tired. Doesn’t reach a lot of passes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather Thomas learning and I don’t see Thomas giving goals away in the same fashion. Sometimes timid on the ball I admit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forced players wide to put in crosses that Huth and Wes mopped up. Edited 3 October 2021 by Cadno'r Cymoedd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesta2014 Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 (edited) Been awful since he had Covid and thought he’d be back up to Thomas whilst Justin out. Unimpressed so far Edited 3 October 2021 by Lesta2014 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It'sblueupnorth Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 Could see the thought behind signing him but he’s absolute pony. Play anybody there but him at least with Thomas there’s room to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 He’ll be fine when the team improves. He’s suffering in a team that’s suffering at present. We have too many off-form players and such a lack of confidence. The arrows need to be turned on Rodgers at the moment. 9m quid a year for churning out this crap! Bertrand is a decent LB, who needs to be part of a decent side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teblin Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 People ranting about vestergaard, I think Bertrand has been worse. Doesn’t look sharp or match fit. Timmy and Ricardo should be left and right back. Prob Timmy on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paninistickers Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 I expected Bertrand to be a fuchs replacement. On the bench as a steady Eddie emergency cover for castagne and after his return, JJ. The guy was surely never ever meant as a first teamer. As someone else said, buy Southampton players and you'll end up.as Southampton. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee7 Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 I think any pace Bertrand once had has well and truly gone. Fuchs was the same towards the end of his time here but the difference is Fuchs was extremely comfortable in possession and rarely gave it away. It probably doesn't help him either having Vestergaard covering him. I know for a fact if he was covering me i wouldn't have much faith in him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 It's not a huge surprise is it? Looked leggy as **** for Southampton. I can't remember seeing a player so consistently on his heels when a teammate tries to give him the ball. As a cheap backup/utility option I could understand signing him but I'd much rather we were either giving minutes to Thomas or shunting either Ricardo or Castagne out there.

eblair Posted 3 October 2021 Share Posted 3 October 2021 Can’t get over how much worse both Betrand & Vestergaard are than Morgan & Fuchs I know the latter are both club legends but think we should have appreciated how much they still had even last year; Fuchs played 6? in a row around October last year and was never as bad as the Southampton dismal duo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Thomas, who has done nothing wrong in my view but must be frustrated that Bertrand is suddenly preferred over him. Also, Thomas worked well with Barnes, so the preference for Bertrand weakens our attacking ability on the left. I wouldn't be surprised that that is also hindering Barnes return to form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertrand is a decent LB, who needs to be part of a decent side. Not sure what youre watching, he gets rinsed every time a winger runs at him and cant make a pass. Vestegaard gets a lot of shit on here and rightfully so, but bertrand is absolutely turgid, far far worse, at least vestegaard makes some good tackles and passes some of the time. Not sure how you can give amartey a go when he does a job a decent amount of the time whilst having the odd off game whereas Bertrand is hot stinking garbage in almost every interaction with the ball he makes. He's the ryan bennett of left backs and the worst player weve had in the squad in a while. Edited 4 October 2021 by honeybradger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
