Ehl with your knowledge of the players and IF SG rejoins and plays his 433 who do you see who would play well in that system?
10 Oct 2025 22:51:40
Raskin Rothwell
Aasgaard
For me
Can see Diomande getting sold in January.
10 Oct 2025 22:57:03
Be interesting to see if he plays the way he did the last time, is Tav fit enough to be bombing up and down the wing for 90 mins nowadays.
10 Oct 2025 23:28:50
Need a replacement for Tavernier if he plays the same way sir.
10 Oct 2025 23:40:08
Gerrard plays 433
He'll play
Butland
Tav
Souttar
New player
Cornelius
Cameron
Raskin
Diomande
Antman
New striker
Gassama
That's my take on what he'll set up and personnel
I expect Diomande to raplidly improve under Gerrard.
11 Oct 2025 00:36:40
Raskin Dio and Cameron are my midfield. Dio will kick on in a settled team.
11 Oct 2025 01:02:33
Stevie as you know it rate Diomande very highly but do think he'll get sold in January, need funds for Gerrard, you wait and see Rothwell playing under Gerrard, let's leave this situation for a couple of months mate then you come back and tell me what you think about him, that boy can play Stevie far better player than anything we've seen so far.
11 Oct 2025 01:06:48
Big IF for Tav replacement but big Dujon is back training.
11 Oct 2025 07:14:27
If we assume he'll set up similar to last time - as I'm not sure how he set up at Villa or in Dubai, I think he'll struggle in the midfield as we don't have the same balance or discipline we had previously.
He also liked to a midfielder as one of his wide players (Aribo or Hagi), again I'm not sure if we have those types of players anymore - Cameron and Curtis are probably the closest.
Hopefully, whoever it is, looks at the squad and sets up to our strengths, as it's definitely good enough to be challenging.
11 Oct 2025 07:26:56
Miovski more than capable Stevie G ?.
11 Oct 2025 07:31:43
Rothwell for me may get binned, was showing signs of getting to grips lately, but just think he may go.
11 Oct 2025 07:34:26
New striker Stevie G? Miovski is quality imo and we have 13 m worth on the bench ?. Gerrard will take Dio to a new level! Dio Raskin plus one depending on the opponent Aasgaard for me would be the third.

Correct Mystar - Tav needs gone full stop even though he has been one of shining lights of late (that wouldn't be hard) - his engine is plainly going and he is now just hovering for Testimonial- and for all the Tav luvvas surely we see the need for drastic change at RB or if not just give him the bloody managers job as he has been pulling the strings in background for years anyway - he HAS served us well (and loved him in his pomp) but now is like an ageing pop star - time waits for no man! The club must go in a new direction and that direction should be without Tav in situ- Beware SG or he will see you out too.
11 Oct 2025 08:50:21
And Rothwell is a player. make no mistake.
11 Oct 2025 08:54:20
Like tae see raskin cameron n barron run the mid.
11 Oct 2025 09:01:47
Beale I think Rothwell is a very good player from the clips I've seen of him and just generally being aware of him over his career without actually watching a lot of him if thata makes any sense.
Think he's decent mate just playing out of position and in a bad set up.
I see him as back up to Cameron, raskin backed up by Barron and Aasgaard backing up Diomande on the left of the 3.
11 Oct 2025 11:08:11
Fork, Gerrard rates Rothwell mate, why I'm thinking he'll be in his three.
11 Oct 2025 12:17:12
Didn't know that Star, suppose he may get him back to what he was bud?.
11 Oct 2025 12:47:58
I think he'll want a new striker and a new centre half perhaps 2.
