Sander berge

[Gimli]

Worst player on the pitch today. So sluggish. Got caught on the ball several times. Too weak and easily brushed off it by much smaller players. Showered zero determination and strolled through the game. Terrible in the air. Weak in the tackle. Offers nothing for me.

He clearly doesn't fit in to any way we've tried to play. Wants to play quarterback and do nothing else. Not sure his passing is better than Norwood's but we essentially have 3 midfielders who play in the same position.

We need to sell him asap because his value is going to keep going down and he's going to have very little impact on games at this level.

He blatantly wasn’t the worst player on the pitch.

Some of the criticisms you mention are valid, and I’d agree he should be doing more, in fact with the potential he has he should be tearing the league apart.

But he was clearly not the worst player on the pitch, anonymous a bit but not actively making things worse.

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

Who d'fook is this guy!?

Berge's agent.

 

[Davalon]

I've stuck up for him but I'm afraid I can't any longer.

Monumental disappointment.

 

[UTB]

Sander lying deep, average player in our system, play the lad in an advanced role at times unplayable. There’s a big player in there not sure it’s at the Lane.

Hard to argue with any of that

Sander Berge will be a quality player with class players around him , his style of play doesn't suit the Championship or us and there is not enough quality in our team to compliment his strengths .

There's a fatal flaw in your argument - he'll never get in a team who have class players.

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Shouldn't be first player to call poor. We're not going to win games starting a 35 year old and a 34 year old up front with no pace lol

 

[Alan Roberts' Jinking Run]

Berge wasnt great but to say he was the worst player on the pitch when Droidinson played is laughable. I think the Droid is a piggy agent the way he tackled RND when he was running back for their 2nd goal.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

He's been here 2 years, and whatever he's apparently got, I'm not seeing it.

He's a Champions league player (or so we are told), and we were playing bottom of the league. He should be bossing games like that.

Needed 3 touches to do anything, no pace, no drive, no ambition. I think Genk got the best out of the deal by some margin.

 

[Chingo]

Only Ndaiye can say he earned his cash today the rest were crap , maybe not having a game since 20th December played a part ?

 

[robbiez666]

RND , Robinson, Bogle , Mcgoldrick, Sharp , and its debatable if Bash , Egan and Norwood did any better than Berge !

All those players tried.

Robinson did more with his long throws than Berge did with his entire game
Bogle put cross after cross in, getting forward
RND got up and down the wing and provided cover for Robinson
Sharp kept going. Kept making runs. Had our best effort

etc etc

Berge didn't want the ball. Berge was hardly involved with any attacks. Berge provided almost no cover for the defence. Berge can't mark a bkaclboard. Berge put less effort into winning headers than Osborn. Berge hid. Berge didn't want the ball. Berge needed 3 touches every time he had the ball.

Everyone had a bad game but they were all trying harder than Berge. That's why he was our worst player. Hid, anonymous, didn't make an effort.

 

[Toronto Blade fan]

Bogle put cross after cross in

In? I don't think he put a single cross in. He punted several balls over ... Or left the cross woefully short. I don't think I've seen worse crossing all year from him.

 

[Old Programme seller]

Lawrence’s first goal is such bad defending. Bogle has the chance to win it/ take him down probably a yellow card. Bash gets skinned. Egan tries to stand him up even though he’s got a shooting opportunity in the box.

Bash was at fault for the first

Disagree but can’t be arsed to argue with you , you are wrong though

 

[Toronto Blade fan]

I think people are forgetting that Berge has been out for a really long time. There will be rust. He will need time to get back up to match fitness. As for the rest of the group, what a shit performance that was.

 

[EddieColquhoun]

It’s weird criticising him when we fell apart completely when he was taken off.

He lost the ball in midfield when their player showed so much more determination. He then showed little effort to win it back. He was subbed just after.

Subbed for hourihane who neshed the challenge for there 2nd, hourihane is a waste of wages on loan, awful player. Granted berge was poor as was the rest of the team but as others have said, it was 0 0 when he came off, hourihane is a joke.

 

[Bert]

He's a Champions league player (or so we are told), and we were playing bottom of the league

They had won just as many points as we did this season.

 

[Mojo]

Yet as soon as he was subbed off the team and midfield lost all shape and we conceded two soft goals

What are his strengths?

 

[Houston_Blade]

Also over 2 games have performed better than we have

Robinson is shit but cost £500k, he’s not £22.5m shitter than Berge

 

[Alan Roberts' Jinking Run]

Robinson is shit but cost £500k, he’s not £22.5m shitter than Berge

That wasnt the point was it? There was no discussion about cost it was about performance. Plus I would defo say the Droid is more than 22.5m quid worse than Berge. Not seen anyone as bad as him in a blades shirt for years. He took out his own player for gods sake

Sander’s about as good as a £500k midfielder, so that makes Robinson worth minus £22.5m. Probably not that much of a stretch

 

[Rudders]

I dunno, the way he is going you could probably put together a decent case that Robinson has cost us quite a lot. Think he (Robinson) has had a key role in us losing points in at least 4 league games and he was woeful in the cup game. So say he has cost us say 9 points and an early cup exit. That's got to be worth quite a lot to us as a club. Maybe not 20 million but certainly quite a few quid. I honestly think we would be better off starting with 10 players than Robinson. It would be interesting to see if the ref would actually let you start with 10 players.

Droidinson is defo worth minus 22.5m. He's absolutely useless, no, he's worse than that...

Not waring that, Derby we're there for the taking and are a shocking side, sadly we were worse, god knows we're we go from here!

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

I expected a tough game and I thought there would be 1 goal in it. I thought we would be the +1 though. Berge is looking more like Evans, as we drop down the leagues his ability looks better.

 

[Bladesman]

Maybe... maybe we may need to sell this lad.

He is either not fully confident since returning from injury or is just not the player we need.

 

[Rudders]

Yeah, I agree, tough game was always on the cards. Nil nil would not have been a disgrace. Stick in the game and hope that we nick it with a bit of quality. I thought that our bench was better quality than theirs and that we could have nicked it via a substitution of quality, maybe Burke or Brewster providing a spark late on but I think our coaching staff blew it with the early subs and poor second half performance, showed their inexperience and inability to manage the team.
