LIVIFOREVER Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Just now, ATLIS said: Has that not been the trademark for Livi over the last few years though? Goals throughout the team so we're not too reliant on strikers scoring. He offers a lot more than goals, not to the same effect as Nouble but he definitely offers us a lot Yeah if he offered us an out ball like Nouble, or even Dolly the headless chicken, but i don't see that from Guthrie either. For a big guy he gets knocked over awfully easily, i'm not at the Goncalves stage of writing him off but he doesn't do it for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kept expecting him to do something amazing to shut everyone because football but nah, he was just shite the whole time. Was honestly kind of jealous you signed Isma as he was great at Hearts, strange how its turned out. Yeah would love it if Goncalves came good and shut us all the f**k up for slagging him off, but i've been hoping he'd do that for months now and he's looking worse now than when he first played for us at the start of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to him, he's made 6 appearances over 358 minutes, not really enough to properly judge him off of. I haven't seen him be knocked over too easily, his debut he seemed to have some decently strong linkup play. I don't think he's as bad as Menga tbh, he's far more reliable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was going to pick anyone out for doing it I would've said Anderson Nouble absolutely deserves more fouls, he gets sweet f**k all from refs at this point 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cptn Hooch Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Guthrie came into a league he didn't know and made a handful of appearances....he did ok without being outstanding. His link up play with Nouble and Bahamboula was pretty good and he got us up the pitch by winning fouls and holding the ball up. Let's face it, if he was the complete striker he wouldn't be at Livi. He's a good alternative to Anderson and certainly a better option than Goncalves or Hamilton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good alternative to Anderson and certainly a better option than Goncalves or Hamilton Pretty much my view. I’d be concerned if we started a season with him as the Number 9 but he’s shown enough good linkup play to replicate Nouble and enough effort to replicate Anderson when needed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Either I did see it somewhere or have pulled the information from some cosmic realm but Martindale is hoping Parkes will be back in training in late February Livingston boss 'happy' with injured defender's progress as he sets return to training date - Daily Record 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martindale really seems to rate him and he comes across as a decent guy. If he's only returning to training in late February after almost 18 months out then I doubt we'll see much of him in the first team until the very end of the season if at all. Struck me as a more solid yet slightly less agile CB than the other guys we have 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Neil Hastings it is for the new Assistant Manager. Christophe Berra also joining as a first team coach - presumably to fill the gap Bartley left to work with the defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Also on the Guthrie chat, I've liked what I've seen of him so far. As someone else said he's not exactly had the time or chance to adjust to the league properly - a lot of Martindale signings tend to take a while to get going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy with that...continuity with Hastings and plenty of defensive experience with Berra. Berra joins from Raith, I wonder how he's been doing there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wrong Car Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I might be wrong but I think Berra was on the same uni course as Bartley. A young coach who can focus on the defensive side of the game is exactly what we needed., so a good appointment on paper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
