Is there any other option then Hoff? I assume he & Fitz will share the role. We’ve just gotta go all in on the counter attack, which we do anyway, I don’t think we have any other option. We created enough last week on the counter to give some hope.

Problems we've got 3 attackers who arnt known for goal scoring. Arroyo needs to get 10 goals this season and between Sheppard and Hoolohan I'd say we also need 10 but their injuries change things.
Also need say 5-10 goals between our 4 main midfielders but I can't see that happening. So no matter what we create, the chances just won't be put away
If he ain't good enough to get a start in the side why should he be picked ??Quote:

Hoff scored 6 goals in pre season, 5 in one game vs the young Socceroos. His finish on Saturday was quality, Don't Hassle the Hoff.Quote:

Im the biggest Hoff fan but he should not be our number 9Quote:

Surely no one thinks he is the answer. Everyone thinks "Arroyo is off on Int duty and Sheppard is dead so Hoff will have to suffice".
No I'm referring to the comments that he should go up top because he scored 5 goals in one game vs a youth team and that the only thing stopping him is good service. I now realise he must have been taking the piss. Well played Anfield.Quote:

Between the 3 of them, they will surely put away a couple for us.
(Is Kosta the only legitimate striker in the team at the moment?)
I thought Kosta was a winger.Quote:

Mcgree came in straight away and stayed in. As did Joey after Roy got injuredQuote:

Same with playing Hoff up front
But he will play there because we are a Tinpot club whose Owner CEO and Manager are taking the piss out of the fans by not signing back up
We mostly agree Hoff should not be the number 9, So who takes the role?
Joey isn't far off, but not for this week unfortunatelyQuote:
