Sakala should start on the wing. Stretch their defense with his and Kent’s pace.Itten? No thanks.
Would rather go with Sakala.

Don’t care who is available and playing for them on February 2nd, or whenever they decide it’s being played….Livingston on Wednesday then Ross County on Saturday. Then we can talk…
This is a massive season….to the tune of One Day At A Time….
One Game At A Time….
Manager said before Stirling Albion gameNobody knows
No offence to Itten but he's just not up to starting at ParkheadSakala should start on the wing. Stretch their defense with his and Kent’s pace.
Some getting carried away here. Nothing's won yet. Keep the foot to the floor.Plenty of reason to be confident and hopeful of a post Hearts + Rangers collapse from the filth but let's not get carried away, lot of football to be played for that to happen
What's up with Davis and when is he due back?
Sakala will start before itten and he should. Also Aribo will be in the 10 role I thinkKamara Davis
Aribo Arfield Kent
Itten
If Davis is fit he plays for me. Experience is vital.
Both teams results prior to the Old Firm game will likely decide this.The issue for me is not about who we pick in midfield or elsewhere but rather how Gio approaches the game. If he sends us out to sit in and soak up pressure, with the aim of getting a point, then I would be concerned, irrespective of what team he picks. But if he sends us out to compete with them on a straight up basis, to play on the front foot and with the better team to win, I would back us strongly. My fear is that Gio opts for a way too negative game plan.
Same here. I don't think that kind of game plan will work in this kind of game. It would be just asking for bother imo.The issue for me is not about who we pick in midfield or elsewhere but rather how Gio approaches the game. If he sends us out to sit in and soak up pressure, with the aim of getting a point, then I would be concerned, irrespective of what team he picks. But if he sends us out to compete with them on a straight up basis, to play on the front foot and with the better team to win, I would back us strongly. My fear is that Gio opts for a way too negative game plan.
I would take a point right now. A point there is always a good result. But if we go and play for a point I think we are far more likely to leave with nothing. Whereas if we go and just play on the front foot against them then we are likely to come away with something, be it 3 points or 1.Both teams results prior to the Old Firm game will likely decide this.
If they drop any points before it and we dont then I can see him going there and being happy to leave with a point.
Roofe will play if hes fitKamara Davis
Aribo Arfield Kent
Itten

It's a tricky one tbh. Every team they've faced that defended deep and narrow against them and hit on the counter they've struggled against. Teams, even in Europe, who've went toe to toe with them and defended with a higher line they've not necessarily beaten but looked decent and have scored a few goals against. With our pace on the counter and how open they play defensively we could in all honesty comprehensively annihilate them, but conversely, like yourself, I'd rather see us press them high from the first whistle, don't let them settle or give them easy possession and I think we'd score more than they would. As I said, it's a tricky one. Think he will choose option 1 though.The issue for me is not about who we pick in midfield or elsewhere but rather how Gio approaches the game.

Close but if Davis is fit he's 100% in there instead of Arfield. Need to control of ball better in mid against better opposition which arfield doesn't quite do.Hopefully we line up as follows
McGregor
Tav Goldson Bassey Barisic
Arfield Kamara
Sakala Aribo Kent
Roofe

A win for Hearts gives us a free hit at Parkhead and a chance to put one hand on the titleBTW, Hearts will. NEVER have a better chance than on Wednesday.
As long as we do the business against Livi and Ross County,one game at a time mateA win for Hearts gives us a free hit at Parkhead and a chance to put one hand on the title
Has he had the garden gnome removed yet ?Might be their new signing as well. Had to Google it - O’Riley.
there is absolutely no chance the brain dead moron will be playing sadly.
O’Really?This O'reilly guy might start for them
Arfield's energy and enthusiasm is key in OF games. He has a real combative quality that is invaluable in OF games. I would play him and Davis.Close but if Davis is fit he's 100% in there instead of Arfield. Need to control of ball better in mid against better opposition which arfield doesn't quite do.
Some folk never learn.Shaping up to potentially be Kamara, possibly Arfield & Aribo up against:
Hetate, Soro & McCarthy??
Rogic, McGregor & Turnbull all out.
We’ll wipe the floor with them in there.
Spot on, why do so many on here rate him? Roofe or Sakala gets the nod all day long. Itten should be nowhere near the starting line up.Itten will be nowhere near it, he’s garbage
That’s the team I want to seeHopefully we line up as follows
McGregor
Tav Goldson Bassey Barisic
Arfield Kamara
Sakala Aribo Kent
Roofe
This for me, a midfield three of Kamara, Aribo, Arfield v Bitton, Gucci, McCarthy/O’Rlley is scary.Kamara Arfield
Sakala Aribo Kent
Roofe
