Not sure Danilo starts ahead of Roofe.

Depends on what formation he goes with too because unless he plays wingers Matondo wouldn’t start.

Fuck knows with Beale. Agree Roofe is definitely in our strongest 11.

As Lovelace was playing for the B team last night assume the most we will see him tonight is on the bench, Rice didn’t feature at all so hopefully he will be involved at some stage tonight.

Which makes Beales comments about Rice all the more confusing. Apparently he’s a top prospect but he’s young and needs protection. 
 

The magical Beale then throws him into that shit show on Sun and possibly gives him minutes in what could be an absolute clusterfuck tonight. 

Beales head is up his arse

Most of his comments are confusing.

Sunday was horrific, not sure if I would have brought him on but rather than it being a justification of his belief in the lads ability it’s came across as another thrown dart at a wall hoping something works.

Hopefully he gets an opportunity to contribute tonight.

Sad times when Matondo is considered in our strongest 11.

Tough game tonight, but we will come thru. 2-0 Rangers

[Stunels 1,265]

Living away from home at the moment, these games should be something to look forward to for me.  But Im absolutely sick to death of watching us at the moment.  Hoping we progress with atleast decent flashes of play from us - thats how low Beale has set the bar.

If he’s confusing the fans with his pish you wonder how the players will cope following his instructions. Guy is a walking contradiction!

Roofe playing off danilo would be quite good as a front line i think, but then we are limiting guys like cantwell and lawerence playing in the same team

[SIRB_72 4,085]

Problem with Roofe is you have to manage his games. He plays 3 games in a week and we'll lose him for months again.

Personally I'd have him play every weekend and rest him during the week.

All true but he must start tonight. Then bring Dessers on at 2-0 up to try and prove if he has it in him/see the game out as you prefer.

When we get to 2-0? I like your confidence man

Will this be closed at around 10.15pm?

No need to be a smart arse.

[Mondraker 417]

I'll be delighted if Davies can continue to progress. Very good game against Betis, did well with Motherwell.

Not sure why hid confidence is growing when others are losing theirs 

[Loyal72 12,207]

In for a belter of a night right enough.

 

 

[The Dude 20,026]

You just know this is the sort of game where we end up putting six past them 

[gmcf 34,651]

Last week we see off Real Betis with a sterling second half performance , six days later we're shiting it against Livi .

Who said a week is a long time in football .

Hopefully.

Would be a statement, similar to our 3-7 win against PSV. 

[theiconicman 3,013]

I can't get my head around our squad - 2 of our strongest players are Roofe and Danilo I think - so we'd like to play 2 up top. Teams pack the middle of the park in Scotland, so you want to play with width.

So that's either 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 in my book:

So assuming everyone is fit, I think our strongest team is

3-5-2 (you could make this a 5-3-2 brining Tav/Barisic in for Europe)

or 4-4-2

In both cases it seems the flanks are the weakest part of our team - Arguable Lawrence could play instead of Matondo but our right wing has been an issue since Candeias!

For tonight we're missing (Danilo, Lawrence, Dowell, Raskin, Cantwell, Matondo ffs!)

How many white russians you had?

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ridvan back in tonight.
