I'm looking for posters on here to tell me what it is he brings to the team as I am struggling to see it?
For what i've seen from him since he joined is that he looks pretty comfortable on the ball without doing an awful lot with it. During the games he seems to hide a lot by not offering himself on collecting the ball, he doesn't have a tackle in him, his attempts at goal whether it being long range or from inside the box are pretty woeful. I had high hopes for him when he first arrived but on the last 5/6 games performances, i'm now not so sure.

Promising start from him but he’s not offering nearly enough other than running about a lot. Suffered for ending up playing a position that wasn’t his natural one as well.

And so it begins, now Vela has gone it's obviously time for a new scapegoat, do we ever just support our players instead of ripping them to shreds.

Hallberg had a bad game last night but prior to that has often been holding the middle of the park for us single handedly without much support. He both wins and retains possession well and is mobile enough to cover a lot of territory. I think he'll benefit from Omeonga and possibly another cm to come.
Not for throwing players under the bus after one poor 45 mins.

Hoping if we get a defensive midfielder in we might start seeing the best of him. Not writing him off by any means but he needs to be doing much more.

It happens to everyone - you get used to what they did when they came in and then expect them to be doing everything else too.
He wasn't great last night but has been excellent at the role he has been asked to play. Wins the ball well, plays it simply, has obvious ability.
After a while even the likes of Boozy used to get stick on here - doesn't tackle enough, doesn't get assists and goals....

He’s a squad player. Can be neat and tidy, good range of passing. Can’t tackle, to soft. Think he will be better with a more solid defensive midfielder in next to him

Slivka has had long enough at the club to make an impression and hasn’t so his time is definitely up.

So, i'll ask you the same question, what does he bring to the team that makes him a standout? Oh, and FWIW, I would love to see the guy put in a real decent performance as I do with all the players.

For example, Newell played very well last night and is rightly getting praised. Give him 2 or 3 below par performances then it'll be the usual "not good enough, can't pass, doesn't try etc". It seems to be the players are continuously critiqued, minute-by-minute these days by some. Game by game they're either 'amazing' or 'sh*te'.
For me Halberg has shown enough across a stop-start season to suggest that he will be an important asset to our team/squad. In 5 months he's played under 2 managers, in various systems, alongside multiple team mates in a new country/league in front of a disgruntled support.
I think what we all need is a period of stability to allow players to settle, integrate and perform in a positive environment.
FWIW I think Bartley has become a mythical figure (see Matty Jack) who wasn't actually as good as people remember.Last edited by SquashedFrogg; 23-01-2020 at 09:55 AM.

Hallberg is a good signing. The setup last night didnt work for him at all. Despite others claiming he was a box to box player i dont think he has the energy for it. He's a holding mid all day long for me - especially in the SPL where the game is so fast.

For me he is a good passer, has good positional discipline and he can tackle. Not every player needs to be “a stand out”. He’s doing the dirty work.
Wasn’t at the game last night but he’s not alone in playing poorly. And let’s not forget he’s only what 22?
