    Should’ve been sold years ago. One trick pony who’s one trick was only effective one in twenty attempts. Heart of a mouse as well. Literally ran away from that mob’s captain while he called him a shitebag and people still stood by him :lol:

    Struggle to get my head round a Croatian international footballer whose Dad is a gangster being so easily, and constantly, feart.

  2. Thinking of seeing the likes of Di Maria (albeit a bit of a prick) at Ibrox later, got me thinking. Who have been the best opposition players we've seen at Ibrox in this amazing recent era of European success since the Gerrard days? Always remember likes of Del Piero, Mendieta, Riquelme when growing up, but have any stood out recently?

    A few that spring to mind:

    Bellingham

    Firmino - thought he looked class that night to be fair

    Salah - horrifyingly easy cameo vs Borna

    Midfielder for Braga, maybe captain but can't remember his name?

    There must be more, but probably testament to how well we've played at home that not many are standing out.

                 Butland

    Tav Goldson Souttar Yilmaz 

         Lundstram Diamonde 

    Matondo Lawrence Silva

                   Roofe 

     

     

    This should be the team. McCausland is low on confidence and Matondo shld be hungry to show what he can do and has pace to hurt them.  Roofe has looked quite sharp in his cameos and has proved himself in Europe before. Even if he only lasts an hour, I'd back him to get us a goal before bringing on the Dessmeister General.

  4. He's getting better and made a right difference. 

    Will always frustrate but he impacts games, is opportunistic with chances and never lets his head go down. God help him if he misses a sitter in the Old Firm right enough :lol:

  5. McCausland might not be the finished article but least he gives us natural balance and pace on that side.

    Since Clement came in, he has simplified our way of playing and played players in their best positions (sterling left wing the obvious exception). Would like to avoid us going back to square pegs in round holes scenario. 

    Would keep Cantwell central and Silva as number 9.

    Big Phil said it was planned to start Dressers because of the physicality of their centre backs. Dressers was to tire them out and Silva could then exploit it when he came on. Which worked perfectly. 

    It's brilliant squad management. 

    The big man tires me out just watching him so the centre halfs must have been knackered.

    He wont go but his chances for the Euros are much higher with Forest

    True but they are hardly blessed with great goalkeepers so seems daft to not even get a keeper of his talent in for a friendly and a look even if he plays in a weaker league. 

  8. If goes to a relatively poor Nottingham Forest team he won't be set up for success to get into the Euros.  They will lose far more than they win, and even risk a drubbing or two no matter how good he is.  

    Compare that to the prospect of trophies, showing how good he is on the European stage, perhaps being Player of the Year, and the main man at a huge club. Not worth risking that to go back over the ground of a mediocre English team again.  Would be surprised if he did.
