Here goes with the unpopular post.
Andy Halliday is our best left back. Cannot understand why people criticise him. Absolutely miles better than Barasic, who himself, isn't a patch on Flannigan.
Oh and before people go absolutely berserk, SG clearly rates him. Although from reading some posts here some of you don't even rate Gerrard! We are privileged to have Gerrard and time will prove this. Smith won ugly a hell of a lot and people are quick to forget that. With the resources we have he's doing a brilliant job.

Barasic will have been rested today and will play on Thursday. And is our best all round left back.

Totally agree mate. Halliday hasn't never let us down since SG arrival.
One defeat in 14 and fans still not happy. Pedro and The bread man would have been creaming themselves for that record.
Several players have potential to be worth a fortune.
Group Stages in Europe 2 years in row after playing in 4 qualifiers in each year.
In SG I trust.
And lastly do you seriously think we would have attract half the players we have under a different manager.
Livy where 3rd in the league this morning and outwith the old firm the form team. We have dispatched them 3 one. Regardless of how we played.

Halliday is our best left back? . heard it all now. Some folk on here need a reality check.

I was at the game today, and to say that Halliday is the best left back we have is totally ridiculous! Not only is Halliday not the best left back we have, I'd go as far to say he's probably one of, if not the worst player we have in all positions. The reason people stick up for him is because he loves the club as much as we do, if it was some unknown foreigner who played like he does in general, and like he played today then every fan would be on his case and he would probably be away by now.
The guy is mince, and part of a by gone era from when the whole squad was of that standard. Not sure if you were at the game op, but just after we got the equaliser today, livingston went straight up the other end and scored but it was pulled back for a free kick to us. Regardless of that fact, Halliday didn't know that the free kick had been given at the time and I've never seen such poor defending in my life!
He let the ball come right over, let it bounce about 5 times and then just let the livi player muscle him right off the ball, and in different circumstances could of cost us today. If we're arguing solely on our best left back then atm it's barisic for me, and with a decent run of games will only get better, atleast he can swing a cross in and make a clearence at the back when need be. Ojo was particularly poor today aswell but atleast we can ship him back to Liverpool when all said and done. Halliday needs off the wage bill pronto imo. Give one of the youth boys a chance. Anything but him.

Perfect post. Someone who actually knows what there talking about. He was giving the ball away (AH) and at one point all he had to do was play a simple 5 yard square pass to Morelos and he was in. He overcooked it. Luckily enough it was offside. I really like SG and want him to do well but sometimes it's like 1 step forward and 2 back. Getting in to Europe is a massive plus. Our performances haven't been good enough (I know the bottom line is results) but they Killie and St Mirren game could have gone either way. Starting Kent yesterday as well is naive. He should have brought him on as a sub. SG done the same with Davis and Defoe. Threw them right in to the starting line up when they weren't fit. One more thing. We are making changes too late again. He keeps doing it and doesn't seem to be learning. I honestly think the pressure is now on SG to win silverware this season. The board has backed him big time so there's no excuses.
