Tiquinho Soares

You know, it's hard.

And then you have Tiquinho that rarely crossed.

Right.

Guys-

Yeah

...

if you know Vinc, and you guys watched, Tiquinho didn't cross a lot.

Like, it was a lot of back passes and, like, cutbacks.

There's multiple different reasons that could have led to Roman starting, but that was the one that was really the big surprise.

We had Gelson Martins and Jota Silva flanking Tiquinho behind the striker.

Wasn't a massive fan because Tiquinho didn't necessarily have the greatest game against Panathinaikos, and seeing him, seeing him there again, I personally, when we're lacking in shots, and we're in a game that we need somebody to have that kind of pressure, Jota Silva, for me, offers the same intensity on the defensive side of things off the ball, and the guy looks to shoot He looks to shoot on goal.

He gets shots.

He gets opportunities.

Is he, is he as much of a playmaker maybe as Tiquinho, even though Tiquinho's not really the most amazing playmaker? But no, Jota Silva's not a, a, I should say a, a, a playmaker in that aspect.

But, you know, he's a hawk, and when there's a loose ball, he'll take shots, and that's something we need.

I expected to see that.

It's probably then one of Konsa, Hall, or Mendy that starts.

Do I buy Tiquinho? I think when I'm struggling this much as to who to start, I probably don't.

The other argument is just do Konsa to Tiquinho and then there is no benching headache.

You just start Calafiori, Tiquinho, Muhalovic, and it's easy-peasy.

But then it just doesn't feel...

I don't know, it just doesn't feel worth it for me right now.

Martin Odegaard against Nottingham Forest away.

And then on the bench right now I have the man on the thumb now, the injured, or potentially not, Dominik Szoboszlai.

Weakness, you cannot cross to a player and just bang the ball into the box.

Tiquinho gets it for me.

Like, that was just a waste of time.

Yeah.

That's what all the Olympiacos journalists have been saying.

Um, uh, Tiquinho obviously he's had time to have a rest.

He'll be, I'm sure he'll feature quite heavily.

It's, it's gonna be an interesting one.
