The fact he's lined up the same way as Sunday and just made a few changes to the players is terrifying He's absolutely clueless

Sadly its been coming after a good start This could be anything tonight

Roofe doesn't even get into the positions for those chances tonight

Fuck me, that's embarrassing

Jesus christ, Sunday all overr again there, ball bobbling about the box and nobody deals with it

Because i've got the guy on to get booked

Seen enough of Kamara already

Look at the Kent that turns up on Thursday nights, jesus fuck

Didn't actually know Braga play a back 3 too Be very interesting if we match them up, will either mean we score loads or concede loads...it's not finishing 0-0 anyway!

If true then it could work but we'll see Part of me thinks its just going to be the same as Sunday

If it's a 352, it could definitely cause problems & should stop us losing the midfield battle If it's Gio's usual 433 with Arfield on the right it could be a long night of the ball getting launched into Sakala

2 completely separate points being made on this... 1) There is definitely an increase in coked/drunk arseholes doubling up to get in and then subsequently sitting in seats they haven't bought, the story from @CXB above is the exact reason why it needs to be stopped. Nobody should feel they have to get somebody else involved just to be able to sit in the seat they paid for! 2) The media fallout from the bottle being thrown is unbelievably over the top. Calls for point deductions and the like are fucking ridiculous, there was absolutely nothing said about the countless incidents over the last few years but as soon as it involves us you've got every single 'pundit' and ex player/ref coming out demanding action

Yep, as was quoted in various outlets & Rangers pages. The fact he's on at least 20k per week, 4 year deal and with apparent very achievable addons, that's completely realistic. Pointless argument though. The initial point was him and Hagi don't give us anywhere near enough for what we paid for them, that stands true.

The initial fee for Roofe was 4.5 million, I said that.

Do love waking up to see you raging as per 🤣 The figures were quoted from various places, Hagi's were actually higher than that but no point in arguing with a guy who buries his head in the sand at any opportunity

Its the players themselves that are the problem, there's a massive lack of pace in our attacking areas, even Kent isn't what you'd call rapid Our plan, since Gerrard is to get it wide and get quality delivery in. Teams sussed it out domestically a while ago

If there's a better idea or a plan in place i'm all for it, whether its Sakala upfront with Kent/Aribo narrow either side I don't know We just can't line up the same way as Sunday

Honestly, I wouldn't even be opposed to it. Will it likely go tits up...aye Is it better than just picking the same thing that hasn't worked last 2 times vs the taigs...100%

He doesn't have the pace or the physical presence to play upfront, he's a good penalty box striker but they're useless in the modern game, it's why Roofe struggles under Gio No idea who Braga have at CB these days, can barely remember who they had last time! But if it's 2 big physical guys they'll just bully Roofe all night long and we'll get nothing from him If we're going for anything involving Roofe it has to be 2 up top to try and get something out of him

Gio won't drop McGregor now & tbh there's not much point in him doing it Everybody know's he's done at the end of the season, his mistakes have already cost us points & he obviously doesn't trust McLaughlin

Roofe was an initial 4.5 million with various add-ons, his whole deal with quoted to be upwards of 10 million btw including wages etc Hagi was initial 3 million with add-ons It's at least 7.5 million in initial fees, not including add-ons/...would say it's being very realistic to assume they cost us at least that.

Because at the end of season, we'll very likely finish near their points total & finish with the same amount of trophies...0. They imploded January onwards, pretty similar to us domestically tbh! The bigger issues away from just this season are the board & squad, our board are a few weeks away from the fans completely turning on them, if they haven't already, its been bubbling for a while now As for the squad, I've honestly got no idea how it'll go but we need a rebuild similar to them but I'm guessing with a far smaller budget

6 game, the fact we have them & some tough away games, I would say us getting 12 points from those games is being very generous on current form, would leave us 8 points up on them last season Leagues gone, 1 cup is gone, the other I don't think anybody fancies us to beat them And the squads at the point where we realistically might see 10 go out the door in the summer with a massive rebuild coming. Euorpe has been a saving grace & it'll hopefully keep some value in certain players but we're much closer to the state they were in last season than people are wiling to admit. All of that is even without mentioning Wilsons shocking transfers, the Park vs King shit & the Sydney friendly fiasco. We've got just as big a problems at the board room level that they faced.

So the exact same setup as Sunday then? No idea who Braga have at CB but if it's 2 relatively big guys then you'll see Roofe get back pocketed again for 90 minutes

Only thing you can hope is we don't line up the same way as Sunday with Roofe upfront, would show Gio has learned absolutely nothing.
