Can see Ange opting to start both Starfelt and Rogic if both are available, which is possibly a long shot still with not being involved on Thursday.This is a must win game - as pretty much all domestic games are. Aberdeen have a few players out but they should be fighting tooth and nail to keep their struggling manager in employment. We know that Broonie will be the consummate professional who will get stuck in and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets booked.
It will be interesting to see who starts in midfield up against Broonie (assuming Scott isn't still covering as CB as he has been doing recently). Will Bitton be fit enough to start? Will McCarthy start instead? I doubt that Soro will come out of the cold for such an important high profile game as Ange clearly doesn't fancy him. This is crucial and we must get it right.
I'd go with the same starting line up as we used in midweek - injuries permitting. I fancy Forrest to score again and CCV from a corner too. Jota will impress too. Mon the Hoops!
Still think moving calmac back into that holding midfield role is better suited for him, with getting into a game more so and getting us playing at a higher tempo, and that is no disrespect towards Bitton, but the midfield looks like it needs a bit of freshing up of late.
Think we could even put Jota into an attacking midfield role and move Jamsey on to the left and abada on the right.
Just a thought, for a must win game and not expecting the sheep to come at us as much of an attacking force either.
