Just as well it’s Motherwell we are playing, if we need to play Itten. It’s the only team he can score against.

If we still had Patterson, I would honestly say Tav up front in Leipzig would be the best option, assuming Sakala can't travel to Germany because he is unvaccinated.

If only we had a proven EPL goalscorer to step in in some league games to give Morelos/Roofe a rest now n again

Diallo through the middle? He’s built like a fiver and is the height of shite. Better off with Aribo up top holding it up and putting Lowry in for Aribo.

What’s his height got to do with anything?

How anyone can say we have been "unlucky" with injuries! GVB has made an absolute arse of it.

Got rid of Defoe when he was more than capable to step in for cup games and coming on at 60mins or even starting the odd League game here and there.

Then he plays Morelos 90mins every single game n fucks him, that eaves himwith an injury prone striker that he seemed to have zero trust in but now relys on him game after game. It was inevitable that this would happen.

Never thought I would want rid of a manager soo much that got us to a semi final in Europe.

This season woulda been soo much better if he had used his squad properly.

I largely agree but Defoe admitted himself that he'd pretty much chucked it this season and the fact he's now retired adds weight to that.

What a nonsense post.
The same Defoe who chucked it a few weeks after signing for Sunderland.

This a better option than Itten at home to various teams. Only needs to be in the right place in the box when cross after cross are coming in.

Aye because he had been sitting on his arse since August as a "coach" also getting rid has had a huge impact on guys like Aribo Kamara, it's not a coincidence there form has dipped massively since January

So we should’ve wasted money on him as a pal for players?

[LaaRFC 4,792]

Gutting having Roofe out, will be interesting to see how Gio deals with this. Could see someone like Arfield or Aribo play through the middle. Or end up like Liverpool with 3 winger types up top. 
 

Ramsey out also gives Lowry an opportunity for game time even if off the bench.

Let’s just bring back Kerkar. 

[SkylineBlue 23,726]

Defoe went to Sunderland for about 20 minutes and retired. He was done and not an option.

[theweebluenose 4,332]

Knew any positivity wouldn't last on here, never change Rangers Media.

Just the other week Roofe was a diddy now we can't cope without him.

Brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂😂😂😂

[graeme_4 34,787]

McLaughlin

Tav Goldson Bassey Balogun

Jack Lundstram

Aribo Lowry Kent

Sakala

[southcoastbear 1,639]

Wonder if the manager will have to consider playing the motherwell specialist against this lot and possibly Sakala againtst the red bull lot 

[Drumloyal 15,035]

Injuries have really fucked us this season.  

Would a diamond work for us given our lack of dependable forwards? 

 

 

[STEPPS BOY 74,353]

Itten should start this and Sakala rested for Thursday.
