Watching the Sevco game again what stands out is how Boyata can't play as the senior cb, where he should be leading by example & talking the younger guys through the game.
Jozo gets sent off & we have a new keeper playing his debut at Ibrox, a young cb new to the club & playing out of position at RB, Hendry heads the ball out for a corner, with nobody near him, as he didn't get a shout & took safety first as his option.
Boyata is screaming at him & waving his hands about! Hendry basically blanks him, saying he didn't get a shout. Hendry wins the defensive header from the corner & clears it.

Literally 1 minute later, Boyata dives in against Morelos, goes flying past the ball leaving an open run on goal for the £11m man. Ajer does great to cover the mistake & gets a touch, Bain does great & saves.
Ajer ushers Morelos out for a bye kick.
Nobody says anything to Boyata about his pathetic mistake - no one is waving their arms about shouting at him.

He's the worst cb & looks it, even when playing with 3 young guys & a debut keeper he's the weakest link in the back 4.
I can't stand him.
He is our best center back when on form.
How often is that though? I wouldn't be upset if he left.
Exactly. He has looked good at times but has never been able to shake off the unreliable tag. When he did show decent form for a spell, he played the simple pass out of defence and cut out trying to go past people or play more difficult balls forward. He’s incapable of bringing the ball out from the back and that’s never going to change now.

Hmm.
He's our best centre back when all of our other centre backs leave, taking Nir Bitton with them

Shouldn't be here next season along with Jozo, neither good enough.
Really hope BR invests in the defence in the summer.

I think Hendry and Ajer are being lined up as our first choice centrebacks in the future. (In a 4 at the back scenario anyway.)

The guy's an enigma. He has everything it takes to be a top quality central defender but is miles from that. :( Over the past two weeks he has reverted to Efe levels of bombscare but without the entertainment value. I'm still hopeful but then I'm still hopeful Ronny will make a great manager someday. :twitch:
Everything apart from a brain, a heart and a pair of balls.

A stupid player with no fight and who has twice dirtied his shorts against the zombies isn't what we need.

Two cbs and a right back required.

And a back up left back.

He plays with the air of a man who has all the time in the world. Most defenders who play like that (Baresi, Cannavaro, Maldini, etc) can actually back it up. Boyata can't, far too casual in posession and guilty of wayward, half-hit passes. He is not half the player he thinks he is.
Efe Ambrose loved playing like that.

I think he rates Boyata's pace, that's all. The pace allows us to play higher up the pitch without fear of the ball over the top.
