How Poor is Filip Benković?

[mickyhoss]

We had 20 subs, didn't we?

I think he might be worth a chance in soyuncu place, can't do any worst.

Yep. Give him a go. You never know the lad might thrive having given the opportunity. Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith.

This lad has baffled me, looked ok in pre season, but Rodgers doesn’t trust him, we are basically down to the bare bones regarding centre half’s with Evans out again, Soyuncu isn’t wired up right this season, try him against Brighton and fingers crossed he gets his confidence back…

Has anyone actually seen him play since pre season or heard BR say "I don't trust him"?. Surely with the situation regarding our CH weakness he has to be given a subs spot

Wasn't he supposed to have been impressive at Celtic under BR?

 

[DagenhamFox]

Yes that’s what my Celtic season ticket holder friend said at the time. He wanted Celtic to sign him.

And the Celts were very upset about it

If Uncle Bren don't trust him why is he still at the club?

His name is worth 29 points at Scrabble.

Cardiff City didn’t rate him and OH Leuven didn’t play him. Is it any wonder there are reservations about playing him in the Premier League.
Are there suggestions that there’s a training/fitness issue?

We have to keep going with Soyuncu and hope he returns to top form. We know he can be top class.

That's the point though is he actually top class I don't think so. He makes too many mistakes and loses his rag a lot.

Have you seen his play then Daz

I'm talking about Soyunco Micky not Benkovic.

 

[Harwichfox]

Souyuncu needs an experienced centre back alongside him that's why he played well with Johnny Evans.

Well if he can only play with a experienced player that tells me he has a problem

 

[oxonfox]

Couple of years ago I couldn't fault Soyuncu but lately even for Turkey he has made bad misjudged challenges, still reckon its cause he hasn't cut his barnet!
