he's going to leave but if we dont have a buyer by the end of the window we should see if hibs will take him.
maybe working with lennon again will help.
Brendan is great at getting the best out of guys but Efes too far down the order now. Shame really as he seems a very decent guy and clearly loves the club. Wish him all the best.
Efe played well up until the Juve game and even when he came back after his post game exile he still had decent games. But the errors started getting more frequent and his time here as passed.
The interview is still available on the BBC Sport Scotland website. I was listening to last night on the drive home but I lost signal halfway along the London Road. I hate the London Road post match
I never criticise a bad player just for being bad.
I believe that you have to criticise the manager for that, not every player can be Beckenbauer.
What I want is every player to give 100%. That's why I loved Riseth, I'd rather support him while giving 100% even if his 100% isnt great, than support someone like Viduka or Berkovic who is clearly talented but not giving everything.
Our defenders have been too fond of finding the treatment room in the last few years, especially before big games. Efe has always been the last man standing.
It would have been very easy for Efe to also report a knock or a niggle to avoid playing those high pressure games, especially since the fans have been getting on his back. But he doesn't. He reports for every game regardless.
Blame Lenny for buying him, or playing him against Juve. Blame Ronny or Lawwell for failing to provide adequate defensive cover that would have avoided the need to play him. But don't blame Efe, a man who turns up and gives everything, when it would be much easier to hide.
Thought McGregor was decent too, I think it showed more when he went off though.
Brown and Bitton isn't a good partnership and we lost control of the midfield for about 15 mins from them being too deep.
i think bittons experience secured the win as much as anything tbh.
clever fouls as well.
Don't mind one or the other, just don't think they work well together.
