Don’t know if we’ve changed it since the start of the season but McLaughlin hasn’t been getting into the Euro squad because he’s not classed as a home grown player On another note it’s mental we went to Braga with Flo Kamberi as our striker last time and he was actually a better option than anything we have available for tomorrow HG5, sausagetrunks, Valance1690 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

southcoastbear 1,639 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Would agree he doesnt trust McLaughlin but he surely needs to have a decent look at him or does Van Bronckhorst already have a keeper lined up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivybank 4,636 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 The thought of going into a European quarter final with roofe as the main striker is sickening , I like roofe ( against lower league teams)but the guy has no mobility something you need in a euro away tie his last 2 performances against the scum we’re pathetic HG5, BlueAvenger, GA1972 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Not if we play on the break. Roofe I think can do a job. Just has to be used right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Ivybank 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so devastated with how this season has turned out and I'm struggling to get my head past the Aussie debacle. Hopefully (of course) we get a positive result. No Alfie is a disaster for us though. Are you joking? This is for a place in the semi finals of a European trophy (a prestigious one at that).

This is for a place in the semi finals of a European trophy (a prestigious one at that). You live to see games like this. That's a fair point, this game is massive and the rewards are massive but I don't truly believe we can actually win the Europa League and I have watched all season as we've gradually handed the initiative at home to the scum across the city when we should have been superior. This is what has dented my enthusiasm. As I've mentioned before, my enthusiasm has also been dented (by more than I can describe) by the Aussie debacle. I will watch tomorrow fully engrossed and obviously supporting the greatest club in the world but I cannot get past a lot of things that have taken place this season. I live to see us rule the roost in our domestic league against the one club I want to beat more than any other and we haven't done that much recently.

Imodium 412 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Roofe will play well tomorrow and will score. He presses well and picks up on loose passes in these kind of games. Centre halves taking a stroll to the half way line will suit our counter well. He is probably the best finisher (and most naturally gifted) at the club, run of games hopefully get him going again.
