Shamrock Rovers Thread

who the GK? Me Granny would of saved that...jaysus.

Result of tie is a fair reflection over the 2 games. Flora well organised and very efficient with their chances. Sadly all 5 goals came from unforced errors. Good luck to them in the group stage. Lucky we have a handy one this weekend against Virtuous FC.

Roll on Sunday, it’s clowns like the dublinscose t**ser you need to be kicking back on. LOI, eventually we’ll be recognised .

Better to ignore DopeS like them....Hoops need to bounce back quickly, Bohs will be rearing to go. Fifty fifty tie.

Rovers made way too many stupid mistakes over the two legs especially last week in Estonia and that killed them. They looked to have enough quality overall to go through but conceded sloppy goals last week at bad times.. Disappointing

Rovers are a bit like kost team in our league. No real quality striker. Greene isnt really a finisher. Gaffney isnt yop quality either. They need a goalscorer to take it another level. They had plenty of decent balls in the box tonight but no one to get on the end of them. 

The King has spoken.

Mannus has made a fair few mistakes this season compared to the standards he has set in recent years. He's no longer near the best keeper in the league any more.

I'm sure they are on the look out for a top keeper, Mannus definitely on the wane. A bigger problem is the lack of drive, dynamism and inventiveness in midfield. Burke is a big problem, he slows things down too much, takes too many touches which allows opponents defence get set up. He also inhibits Mandriou to a degree.Teams know if they are set up well, get enough players behind the ball, they can frustrate Rovers players. The loss of McAneff is so apparent this season. Towell may solve this problem. Mandriou should got the nod in midfield ahead of Burke, cant play both.
