Sivert Mannsverk

Tue Feb 11, 2025 8:37 pm

Said when we signed him that people would see what a top player he is.

Some said they'd never heard of him but I'd seen him play quite a bit before.

Our best player in the first half in my opinion. Always trying to make things happen and linking up with other players well.

Enjoy him while we can, because I can't see him being with us long.

Said basically the same on the thread I made about him.

People saying he’s not proven, sure, but can’t deny that he’s been brilliant.

Been brilliant, said so in the match thread.

You can see the technique and quality, should play a bit deeper though as he is missing that half a yard of pace.

Good thing for Rubin is he'll have a running partner in training

Dangerous player who drives at the opposition, looks a level above this league. Good signing.

He was decent - but don't go overboard.

I'm interested to know what I said was going overboard?

All I said was he was our best player and trying to make things happen.

It's not like I said he was unplayable or something.



Especially funny when people go overboard about Colwill whenever he breathes :lol:

We're going to need him to be at his absolute best if we're going to have any hope of avoiding the drop.

I think he’s done ok, but I’m in the minority who thinks Robertson is ok. Neither is a ten.

I didn't say you had gone overboard. I was referring to the posters above who thought he was 'brilliant'. He was decent like I said not brilliant in my opinion.

Apologies, a bit tetchy after that second half display.

So it was aimed at me, okay I'll bite. He was brilliant when compared to almost all of the other players on display, not a high bar admittedly but he put in more effort in 5 first half minutes & won more balls than Robinson & Colwill did together the entire game.

I agree with you that he was much better than the rest - but as you say that was from a very low bar. In my opinion he had a decent game but wouldn't go farther than that. I was disappointed in the likes of Goutas who was so sloppy in his passing and seemed a yard slower than normal.

Good loan signing .

I can see he has an intelligent footballing brain. He took up some good positions and played a few nice passes, but he also misplaced a few passes and made some erratic tackles.

I thought he was combative with a few nice touches. Of course, there should be a lot more to come and we will hopefully see further improvement when he gets fully match fit.

I would give his performance a solid 7 out of 10, but no more than that. We shouldn't be getting too carried away or expecting too much, too soon.

I thought he was garbage ! :D passing was woeful

Showed some good touches but he is way off match sharpness, missed some easy passes to create great chances.

Re: Sivert Mannsverk

Reminds me of Grujic a bit.

Liked him.

Yes I tend to agree. You could see the class though, just the sharpness not there yet. Think he’s more suited to being deeper in midfield than a 10 though.

I’m not saying he won’t come good with his pedigree. But I didn’t think he done that well.
Not match fit, lost ball quite a bit. I’d prefer Chambers and Rambo as 2 sitting with Robertson infront.
Good to replace Ramsey with when midweek games etc

I agree with you, his free kicks and corners are shocking.

Re: Sivert Mannsverk

I thought he was neat and tidy but I felt the movement infront of him was non existent last night and was why we ended up lumping balls forward which was bread and butter for there center halfs

Re: Sivert Mannsverk

Wed Feb 12, 2025 6:15 pm

never a 10, great first touch and can see a pass but played out of position.
