Is it a bad thing Alfie’s unavailable for the second leg?

[Jim Denny]

The wee man has been off the boil since the break, snatching at chances and confidence at a low ebb. Can a keen Kamberi make a difference in Portugal? If we score first let’s see the bottle of Braga

 

[Caniggia]

I’d rather have him available but chance to rest him I suppose.

 

[Portadown_Bear]

Of course its a bad thing.

Braga are a very good team. We need all our big players to bring their A game next week.

 

[Its-Sebo]

Of course, don't let a small poor patch make us forget what he's capable of and the fact that he's the main reason we're even in this round.

 

[cambie gers]

I would be tempted to go with Kamberi against St Johnstone.

 

[Lorraines Growler]

That 2nd half performance from Alfie was as good as we’ve seen him, he really was the catalyst to us getting back into it, he pulled that defence everywhere

 

[Galaxy_Ranger_2017]

He needs benched for a while.

 

[de_bigwan]

He’s miles off form and Kamberi is looking hungry and will run channels for us which is exactly what we need when defending a lead. Alfredo was gassed after 60 mins tonight.

 

[Born a Barras Hick]

FFS. As stupid questions go this is up there.

 

[wayoutwest]

We've become pretty good at scoring away from home under Gerrard but the key reason is Alfredo Morelos, because he's the one who does all the scoring, i would say his absence is very bad.

 

[Bluenose25]

I know he is off form but he is still our best player.

 

[Sandbear]

Of course , whether he is off form or not he had plenty of chances . I don’t know if we have anyone else who can hold up th ball or get himself those chances.

 

[Hillheadbear]

Of course it's a bad thing. Alfie is a handful for any defence and Braga is vulnerable to the ball played in behind them.

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

Kamberi looks hungry

I think he's quite a clever player who may kick on with better around him

 

[stonewall Jackson]

Yes I think it's a disaster to lose Morelos for this game. No other forward at the club is capable of giving what he does to the team. Let's hope Kamberi can step up.

 

[Discombob]

Even without scoring, he's critical to our hold-up play and counter-attacks. Their defence cleared their lines whenever he was anywhere near them.

Other players are going to have to step up next week to avoid the match being a case of "defend, clear and defend again" for us, I think.

 

[subversive_bear]

He was a threat all night? I don't get this at all, the guy isn't in his best form but he still caused them all sorts of problems tonight. They will be glad that he isn't involved.

 

[Rangersnumberfour]

He’s miles off form and Kamberi is looking hungry and will run channels for us which is exactly what we need when defending a lead. Alfredo was gassed after 60 mins tonight.

Lol

 

[Michael Mols]

Yes he’s perfect for away European games.

 

[ronnieblue]

Looks like we will find out next week.
I think he will be sorely missed.

 

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

Yes he is our best player

 

[Onslow52]

Yes, Alfie's going through a dry spell but his threat is enough to tie up 1-2 opposing players.

 

[Rt. Hon. Bearman]

I would be tempted to go with Kamberi against St Johnstone.

And suppose he gets injured - who starts on Thursday then?

Morelos against St Johnstone, Kamberi in Portugal.

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

Is Defoe back is the more important question.

 

[sulabear]

Our best player gets suspended, our second best player returns.

If Kamberi can have a good game we'll be alright.

 

[alza_ger1873]

He‘s going through a bad patch but would still rather he was available. Wish he would stop going down though - he’s pish at diving, does it too often and doesn’t get the decisions when it’s legit.

 

[Graemelins]

He’s our best player, and played well tonight... so, yes bad 100%

 

[Coza]

I would be tempted to go with Kamberi against St Johnstone.

For Kent. 100%

 

[standardbarger]

No we will miss his work rate up front and Braga defenders will be glad he is not playing.

 

[GB4ME]

Ofcourse it is, you always want your entire squad available. The boys going through a wee rough patch but hes still a handful and what you want away from home, we are gonna miss him. I just hope we adjust our style to play without him.

 

[contiva]

I’d rather have him available but chance to rest him I suppose.

or get him in the gym to get some sharpness back

 

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

Is Defoe back is the more important question.

back in training

 

[doc_brown]

Not a good thing at all. He's our best player and Braga will be relieved he's out.

We can still do it though!

 

[albertz85]

Having your best players missing a game is never a good thing. Even if he's not scoring, his all round play excellent

 

[GF7]

He has scored 14 goals in Europe this season alone, and basically ragdolled every team we have come up against.

It didn't go for home tonight, but their keeper was like a man possessed.

 

[usbear]

yes

 

[Gibraltar Loyal]

I would be tempted to go with Kamberi against St Johnstone.

I thought this but if he picks up a knock we are fucked

 

[grande]

Defo we are going to miss him.

 

[Macky]

Yes its a bad thing BUT I feel more confident now that Kamberi can do a job also. He has looked hungry and dangerous anytime he has came on and I think he can do a job up there. Even if Defoe was fit I would still be starting Kamberi away from home.

 

[chilebear]

People are forgetting he had goals chopped off at the weekend
He’ll be missed

 

[tomvallance1983]

I would be tempted to go with Kamberi against St Johnstone.

Start both

 

[bluecode03]

Yes but we need the picked 11 to play their hearts out.

 

[Monts1310]

Obviously.

But we have enough to qualify.

 

[Inverhouse]

Yes but the boy from hibs cant spell his name lol has pace to burn so I think he will do well on the counter attack.

 

[Gaz030191]

The only way it could possibly be good he's suspended, is knowing if we get through he's available next round.

 

[TN8]

I thought I read yellows got wiped after the group stage?

 

[Albertz Loyal]

I guess it means he's got a clean slate for the last 16

 

[Ibroxkev]

When it’s a backs to the wall job I’d have him battling up front very day of the week.

 

[SpeckyHotdog]

Is this a serious question OP?

 

[Monty Brewster]

Yes it's a bad thing
