Darth Bear 15,213 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I like the lad and I like his attitude. Has some glaring misses but then again I've seen Morelos blast over from six yards plenty of times. He always had a good workrate and since Beale came back his pressing game has improved and is in my opinion pretty effective. He is always going to miss sitters and he is always going to score spectacular goals. Brings a bit of excitement to the game which is always a good thing. delparlane and JograBear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JograBear 1,074 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 He can be magic or tragic. But for me very few players are able to create the magic so worth it for me. falkirkNS, Albertz85 and delparlane 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said his numbers over the last couple of months (goals and assists / chances created) are probably better than anyone else in the team (but that miss in the final, fck me - that goes in and we win the game) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The true baller 972 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I think we need to be ruthless if we want to compete next season. I like Sakala, but he cannot be starting for Rangers next season if we are to be neck and neck with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Sakala, but he cannot be starting for Rangers next season if we are to be neck and neck with them. He's started the majority of games since mid December where we have won all but 1(in the league) and been neck and neck with them, arguably being our best player in that time.

Sakala will be useful next season but he isn’t a week to week starter for me in a league season where we win. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maeda starts every week for them and he's got less technical ability than Sakala. Worse stats too. We don't need world class players to win the league, we only need better players than them and Sakala ticks that box.

bluenoz 31,275 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Sakala is the in-form player atm, but eventually, his spot belongs to Tillman. I've never believed that Tillman is lazy, but Cantwell has a better engine playing in midfield. Play a narrow front three of Kent Colak Tillman with Borna & Tav providing width; the way it was under Gerrard. In this way, Cantwell & Tillman are on the same team. Sakala can also play through the middle. There will be plenty of minutes for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 75,046 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Sakala is another one who’ll be 26 next week and come the summer will have 2 years left on deal. IMO the right time to sell and begin the cycle again with a younger player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s that he’s the best presser in the country. Btw, he wouldn’t be starting for me either. But if you value that kind of thing like the fat greek does then he starts. Sakala is a grafter but not to that mental extent Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gascoigne's Flute 278 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Limited footballer but we didn't play him to his strengths yesterday. He's better off the wings or on the left cutting in, Beale playing him in the middle does him no favours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plymouthranger 3,934 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 He’d be far more effective for us playing LW in Kent’s role, as using his pace he can cut inside and his shooting is miles better than Kent’s. Might actually have the replacement for Kent already, but we need to address the RW area or find a way of getting one of Hagi/Cantwell/Matondo (I know) to play out there Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
