graeme_4 37,329 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Still can’t get my head quite round him, is he good or not? Not sure you’d say he’s been a success, but his goals to minutes is excellent. Absolutely clinical finisher, but not sure he offers that much else. Bit of an opposite of Morelos who does a lot of physical, good work really well, but isn’t that clinical. Wonder if after his goal and Arfield supposedly out with covid if we’ll see him start tonight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siam69 27,792 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 When he's fully fit and on form he's decent, definitely. Though he's very injury prone, and takes ages to get back up to being fully fit and firing after an injury. Big Al 55 and TopCat 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
6superbarry6 14,599 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 We need to find a way to get Roofe and Morelos in the same team SANDYGER and Steelydan1690 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 32,306 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I think his overall contribution during a game is poor, especially this year but if he scores tap-ins and nothing more then I'm fine with that. He has a knack for being in the right place at the right time. Hope he starts tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Traive 23,778 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 He’s clever, often a move ahead of his mates but, if I was looking for someone to stand beside me and slug it out in the trenches, he’s not it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockwellGers 15,215 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hasn't always been consistent, but I always feel he can find something. If we are playing well that is. Definitely rate him TopCat 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ready1873 3,940 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 He had a string of appearances at the start of the season where I felt he was absolutely invisible. There's a player in there but doesn't suit our formation and probably prefers playing with a man alongside him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
6superbarry6 14,599 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Seen that Gio played Dirk Kuyt in a no 10 behind a main striker for Feyenoord think that role could be perfect for Roofe in behind Morelos we 100% need to fit another goal scorer into the team Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoGeo7 11,263 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 His positional play is excellent which will draw defenders and make space for runs from midfield or a striking partner. He’s definitely struggled with niggling injuries, there was a point where he look unplayable but he’s not consistently performing at that level. Put it this way he wouldn’t be the first person I’d get rid of but get a good offer and I’d let him go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIRB_72 4,148 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 He's excellent. Him and Morelos have superb chemistry as well. Should certainly be starting every league game until the end of the season for me. SANDYGER, falkirkNS and TopCat 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worrying is that last season we changed our build up play to go away from the reliant on morelos, a lot of our football was more towarda roofe style of play This season we have went back to relying on morelos and not having another one of him, so when roofe plays the team expects him to be a morelos and he is the complete opposite bluenoz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven33jackie 2,016 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Think he needs to be part of a front two rather than lead the line. Most of his goals are within the box feeding off loose balls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthranger 4,222 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Can’t lead a line by himself and dominate physically. Id love to see us go 3-4-1-2 with Kent behind Roofe and Morelos, especially in bigger games. falkirkNS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
