Liam Scales

He’s in the same camp as Taylor and Ralston for me. Absolutely fine for the run of the mill SPL games, and is a more than capable squad player. Under no circumstances however should we be trying to build a future starting 11 under these players.

 

Totally disagree

 

A disgrace of a performance today from Scales. Get Trusty back in the team pronto and I'd be happy to get rid this month and get someone else in to replace him. Sick of watching him pass the ball to the opposition or put it out of play.

 

More than han a few of us have had the same treatment.

I got accused of "scraping the barrell" by highlighting his * howlers.

He has a nonsensical fan club on here who have non existent memories of his CONSTANT howlers and loss of possession.

Jack * Hendry 2.0. Starts based on an utter myth that he can play the ball out from the back.

 

* * today. Players need to know what they can and can’t do. He’s Liam scales not van dijk. Stop trying to drive up the pitch and whip a ball 30 yards between 3 rangers player you’re not that guy. Play it simple. Play it into the feet of players that can’t do that. * Braindead from him all day, usually his defending is good but even that was * today, constantly stepping out of position etc. trusty has to get the nod from now on

 

* mental he’s now being seen as our ball playing centre half all because of that cup final where he actually could’ve cost us the game * about with the ball on the edge of our box.

His passing has always been * however he generally defends the box incredibly well, today he didn’t even do that. Cost a goal inside the first 5 minutes with a ridiculously * pass into the midfield and then just crumbled completely. Mental he came out for the second half cause at that stage we were (fortunately) still in the game.

Only Rodgers knows why Trusty has been bombed out after that cup final, despite not even being that bad but whatever the reason that experiment has to be over now. Trusty and CCV is quite clearly our best and most solid partnership so moving forward that has to be the case.

Wouldn’t be getting to carried away with some of the abuse he’s getting, and as far as a third choice option goes he’s proven he can be that despite his horror show today, but we should never be in the situation where he’s deemed to be one of the 2 best centre halves at the club.

 

We can all see hes a liability,and yet Rodgers has him in the team and has him trying to pass the ball round the back ...* madness.

 

The passes he was misplacing were not even big standard of him roving up the pitch then making the forward pass which usually can happen if my memory serves me well he misplaced 4 simple passes from in his own half and am talking bout just infront of the box he was the cause of everything that went wrong today Hatate was a close second because Hatate was the one wasting in build up play into their half

If scales and hatate are not dropped then the team is not picked by who is on form but picked for the name. Br is the same as every other * managers has his guys and sticks to them like * in the neck of a bottle. Its even worse is BR spent 6 million on a defender that he rates below this donkey. Scales,taylor and hatate need sold and replaced. All three have been at the club to long and are not good enough.

 

He had to be taken off at half time today, if only to protect him from his confidence going.

As poor a performance as you'll see from a CB. If Trusty can't come in and cement his position then he must be dog *.

 

You were scraping the barrel because these “howlers” you pointed out weren’t really howlers at all. Fire into him for yesterday however, you’ll get no complaints from me. He was * rotten. As were the other 9 outfield players.

 

It’s not really scales fault midfielders didn’t make them self available for easy pass. They hide most game and scales had keep ball longer than he capable off.
Idah should started yesterday and played long balls up to him instead risky midfield passes.

 

Im guessing its the system rodgers wants them playing(build from the back)but he doesnt seem to see that Scales just doesnt have the ability to give a good pass.

Even when Idah came on we were trying to play out from the back.Imo after we went down 2 0 i would have played kyogo with Idah up front and played long balls into them,hun had us camped in our own half with the high press and yet we insisted on trying to play our way out from the back,* shocking really.

 

It happened with CCV as well. The one first half he travelled 30/40 yards with it desperate to find a pass, there was absolutely nothing. He ended up having to do a couple of Cruyff turns to beat men himself. It was the same all game. Our midfield 3 done absolutely * all. Didn’t move to receive the ball, and got outworked without it.

 

I know he was shocking but the one that sticks out for me was when he could play it to like Bernardo’s feet, or Taylors or Carter vickers but he decides to keep stepping then he gets pressed so he drives a bit further then he passes it straight to a rangers player then screams at kyogo for not showing. Okay people should drop for a pass but it’s not Kyogos fault that Liam scales decides to run 20 yards out of position then pass it to diomande and get caught out on the break. He’s Liam scales. Don’t try run the pitch and thread the ball through a yard gap for a perfect pass just play it simple. He completely made a balls of it then start screaming at his teammates. He gave the ball away needlessly he needs to take blame and make sure he doesn’t do it again.
He was beyond woeful yday all game

 

He's had an excellent season so far, and he'll likely have another few excellent games as the season goes on.

However, there wasn't any real reason for him to start the last 3 games unless Trusty isn't fully fit.

If he starts on Sunday over Trusty, then that's a joke.

 

He cost us their 2nd equaliser too in the Cup final, when he passed the ball right too them at the edge of our box and then they got a corner and a 2nd corner and scored from it.

I can see why Rodgers brought him back in as Trusty doesn't pass the ball forward much although hes never given the ball away either. Scales does pass it forward a lot but a lot of them are just him panicking and he does give it away mental amounts of times compared to other defenders we've had.

 

I’ve never really had too much of an issue with Trusty’s use of the ball albeit like you said he is sometimes far too safe, but you could say the same about CCV. What he is though is a far better player, bigger, quicker, stronger and better in the tackle. So if the trade off is scales will attempt more forward passes (a lot of which are ropey as *) or Trusty who is a bit safe I’m picking Trusty all day long.

Trusty’s only poor games were BVB (less said about that the better) and an average half in which the whole team were * in the cup final yet he finds himself sitting on the bench watching Scales do that yesterday.

Whatever the reasons are that needs to be the end of it and let Trusty and CCV build a proper partnership. There’s a place in the squad for scales no doubt but it’s not as one of the two best centre halves.

 

Same, for me he's better than Scales on the ball, his touch and passing are good it's just he's not that adventurous neither is CCV.

Starfelt actually brought the ball out the back well for us, he could run with the ball and being right footed he was comfortable passing it down the left wing while on the run etc Ajer used to as well. Scales tries to be like them but he's not near their quality.

I like Trusty and would be playing him, his pace and defending are much better than Scales and he is better on the ball also even though he doesn't really do much to help us get the ball forward.
