Prso's headband 35,340 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Worried about this now especially with Roofe out. Kent and Morelos aren’t firing at all, Tav and Barisic have retreated slightly so where does the goals come from? Hopefully someone steps up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris182 6,279 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 With Roofe now missing too, I'm suddenly a bit anxious! Can't get that Livi Away performance out my head when I look at Hagi, Alfie and Kent. Hopefully Jack back next week to put a bit of grit in that midfield. Means a massive game on Sunday.

Griffin Peterson 348 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Wonder if Itten may feature in this one to unsettle their back line. Go Itten Morelos Kent/Hagi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBF2 3,540 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Big performance needed, we’re as short as we’ve been all season. Win this and it’s a huge step towards 55 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangersross 6,530 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 At the start of the season, I think most of us would have expected Kent, Morelos, and Aribo to be among our top contributors. We've only gotten this far because other players - like Arfield, Davis, and recently Hagi - have exceeded most expectations. When injuries are stacking up there's really no room for excuses: we need our 'stars' to hit their levels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number5 2,109 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 It really is time for Kent to earn his wedge, needs to have the performances from the start of the campaign, he needs to find form badly, especially when we've got a few goal threats out.

RFCRobertson 11,770 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Still have defoe and itten that can come in for Roofe. Aside from that Aberdeen are dirty hacking bastards and that means free kicks, penalties. stick to our game plan and they'll be chances, just keep em in their half and like against celtic, a moment of madness or luck will get us a goal. but I dont see why folk are shiting the bed, we still have lots of goalscorers, morelos scored last week, hagi as well, itten is looking good and getting good chances. I do agree kent needs to pull his weight though and this game is perfect for him to raise up and shine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing to remember is it was hagi, alfie and kent front 3 last time we went to Aberdeen that won. We do need to see improvements from Alfie and kent. Defoe and Itten on the bench Good options to have just in case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think they are performing very well for us. Kent and Morelos are the big issues. Really need big performances from both if we are to get 3 points. Aribo needs to step up to the plate too and convince us he can be adequate cover while Arfield is out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Shaw 30,342 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Shags Tav Goldson Balogun Barasic Aribo Davis Kamara Itten Morelos Kent Hagi on for Kent if its not happening for him. 3-0 the champions elect 🇬🇧 Think Gerrard might go with Helender for this one but I would keep the defence as it was for the tarrier game.

kirkiebear 1,013 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 We still have enough quality to win this despite the players missing , will obviously be a lot more difficult though. This is where we should see the worth of our squad depth. The fact Itten and Defoe can also come in depending on how the game is going gives us healthy options to change things up. Midfield injuries is a worry , but if we can get through this one with a win and have Jack back for the next week then it’s looking fine again.

Think another thing to remember is opposition fully man mark Tav and Barasic to fuck so they dont get up the park. Ie That boy Mason at St mirren who shadowed Tav the whole game and added nothing. Teams arent stupid, they know they are massive threats but same time when they bomb up there is a gap which Jack usually fills in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 73,790 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 If it’s Hagi in for Roofe then i’m wondering where goals are coming from. Hagi has been doing well of late but Kent and Morelos are a massive worry. I’ll take a shitty 1-0 but can honestly see us dropping points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,613 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Honestly think we need to start with Kent on the bench. If that means rotating a front 3 of Morelos / Itten / Hagi then so be it. Think Gerrard will start Kent though ☹ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Shaw 30,342 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Kent’s well over due a good performance hopefully we get it on Sunday. Would also start Itten and leave Hagi on the bench as an impact sub for this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
