    He looked like he wanted it when he came on. But it just wasn’t happening for him.

    He tried, I'll give him that.

    He'd do good as a 10 in a system that focuses on him, don't think he'll make it here but I could see him smashing it elsewhere.

    Start him in the 10 at Ibrox.

    It looked like he came on in the middle of the pitch and because the ball wasn’t being played to the middle when he was making space he went to the left chasing the ball and ended up just tripling up that wing.

    You can tell the rest of the team trust him to come up with something though, because they were seeking him out to do something. Particularly Calmac, but that might be because Haksa is good at finding space and Calmac will pass it to the guy looking for it in space

    He was definitely forcing it. I thought he drifted wide out of habit but I think he was just looking for the ball, that’s when Yang was still on so he should of just stayed central.

    But you could tell he was dying to be the difference.

    He had that one shot, but didn't impact the game enough to be a convincing starter. I'm sorry, but we miss Hatate, and he's the only answer right now in the CAM role.

    He was the same last week as well mate.

    But you’re spot on, he drifted over looking for the ball, he was picking up positions in the middle at first and the ball would not come. So he drifted to a comfortable place he knew it would come.

    But it’s * like that all over the pitch that makes me feel like we lack a defined game plan.

    It’s like I said in the game thread, the game plan seemed to be overlap, by line, cut back. If that wasn’t on, pass sideways until it is or you lose the ball.

    My eyes were bleeding.

    Haksa gets a roasting and some of it is justified, but he offered something different today.

    AJ is the only full back we have right now who confidently overlaps effectively. Tell a lie Berny can do it but by the time he came on, the left was being overloaded with our players and there was no in behind to overlap into outwith 7/8 yards.

    Haksa doesn’t deserve a roasting if he’s getting one. Two weeks in a row he’s been thrown in as a last gasp ‘can you do something please mate’. And the players give him the ball hoping the same as well.

    Better at 10 than Turnbull but that's not really much praise is it

    Another I would class as not good enough and needs sold.

    Got nothing against him I just don’t think he suits our team, didn’t look good enough under Ange and the same with Rodgers.

    Ponderous, * around aimlessly , will score a great goal (possibly) then do nothing for the next ten games. Another who is simply not good enough.

    I swear I'm going to start a petition for him to get a few games in the 10 role I feel like I've said it for months. He has done more than Turnbull the last 2 games in a lot less time

    The last 2 games (whilst hardly a barometer for success) he's probably caught the eye more than the guys starting ahead of him. I'd be interested to see him in the 10 with McGregor and Iwata in behind.

    Ralston was trying to overlap today and is probably the reason we had about 500 corners.

    Taylor never gets the the byline. And aye it’s probably Berna’s only strength. But it’s a stinky game plan when the box is loaded the way it is.

    There’s the Haksabanovic slaggings coming because the thread was bumped up. Posting the same thing for the last 2 months in different threads, just changing the player they are talking about.

    He's more of a 10 than a winger. 100%.
