He won't pick Balogun just because he's missing on Sunday. I think Gio doesn't have as much faith in Balogun as others and his sending off perhaps sealed that so I think it'll be Bassey and Barisic again. Lundstrum and Jack will be sitting, which means no place for Davis unfortunately. I think Sakala starts up front as there isn't any other option and I don't think he's going to experiment on false 9s or other out of the box tactics as it's too big a game to go with something untested. Kent and Aribo pick themselves so it just remains a choice between Arfield and Wright, and he could go eihter way but I think he'll ultimately go with Arfield. I agree it would be a gamble to change tactics mate but a false nine isn't untested, we used it on Sunday for the second half and it worked pretty well so the manager will be tempted. Meanwhile, Sakala on his own up front didn't really work well enough in Braga so that's not a given either. It's just a positive we still have options and I just hope we pick the right combination of players and the correct system. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 10,825 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 That 2008 run was remarkable, but it was brutal to watch; terrible football. I feel like our current side can almost go toe-to-toe with opponents, within reason. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2008 run had some great moments but no great matches. I'd play Sakala this evening. I just think he's a bit unpredictable and that could work in our favour. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutton_blows_goats 5,489 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Was feeling confident about this, had a look at the bookies and we are very long odds. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,966 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 RB Leipzig is a work's team, right? It is incumbent upon the players to ensure that we do not wake up to headlines, tomorrow, crowing gleefully, "Plumber, and Maintenance Fitter Dash 'Gers Euro dream", " Canteen Chef Cooks Rangers' Goose", and so forth. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
