Tam Rogic

The outside of the foot finish on the edge of the box, just before we go to Pittodrie. Freaky..

 

Involved in both goals (that finish was stunning) changed the game when he came on.

As gutting as I'm sure it was for him personally, I think being left out the World Cup squad has been a blessing in disguise in terms of his football. Staying and training with his new team, getting to know them and the coach, getting his fitness back to where it needs to be.

 

Also their big striker Daryl Dike might be worth a scout if GG goes.

 

Did he not just sign for them? Good scoring record both at club and international level.

 

He did and been out injured, but he's still young so could be one to watch for the future, that header was pure filth and his hold up play for Tom's goal.

 

That shot from outside the box through the defense and bamboozling the goal keeper is what we could be using so far this season. How many times do our players try to walk the ball into the net and still miss?

 

I still miss him and wish he stayed.

None of our midfielders this season have replicated his form from last year, yet. Hatate is the closest but Rogic was unreal last season.

 

He has made the Championship Team of the Week. Not bad for a 30 minute cameo.

 

His manager Carlos Corberan has been singing his praises in the Brummie press. Gave an insight into how he handled being left out the World Cup squad.

"He was one of the players who had the opportunity to go to the World Cup with his country, with Australia," Corberan explained. "In the end he didn't go, but this made an impact in the mentality and the motivation of the player.

"The next day after Australia showed their team list, I was thinking about having a conversation with him, to motivate him to work towards the option that he had - but I didn't have to. In the first training session that I watched he was enjoying the situation, and he was training with more ambition and with a stronger mentality to face the difficulties of this moment.

"I was watching a very strong player, who was ready to impact the football because it's not something that is new - the character that he has, he has a lot of quality - but I could see that he was training with the right mentality.""
​

A manager willing to have a deep conversation with a player about their feelings? Could never be our Ange *

​

 

Aye, sounds more like Brendan Rodgers style.

Ange whilst philosophically his system is very opinionated and modern, in my opinion, his man management is very old school and straight down the line, Jock Stein comes to mind

 

Coaching style of Ange, man management of Rodgers. Might just be the perfect manager for Tam.

 

Absolutely beautiful assist to put them 1-0 at halftime.

 

He seems to be getting fit again and really doing a job for them. Fair play to him.

 

He possibly would have got fit quicker if he didn't spend his first few weeks training under Steve Bruce. Even before the break you could see the difference in him after just a couple of weeks intense training under Corberan. He won a watch when Bruce got the boot.

edit

5th win in a row. They are 16th but just 5 points off the play off spots with a game in hand. When Corberan came in they were in the relegation zone and miles off the play offs. If they can keep up this win streak they might just make it. Remarkable what he is doing and I'll say it again I hope Celtic is keeping an eye on him for a couple of years time because Ange isn't going to be here forever and he's exactly the kind of replacement we should be lining up.

 

100% would be hoping we spoke to both Corberan and Knutson if and when Ange does leave.

 

Just beautiful from the big man.

 

Not the top 20 podcast orgasming over Tam's recent form.

"Tom Rogic doing some x rated things with his left foot in the last two games. An outside of the left foot strike against Sunderland, I call it a strike it was more of a stroke - I'm going to change one letter there and change strike to stroke. Just audacious and sumptuous and world class to equalise against Sunderland. Then a piece of play against Rotherham again pulled out of the world class drawer, controlling a conjested midfield area, a flick over Barlaser head and then basically just leaning on a through ball on the bounce, again with the outside of his left foot, into the path of Jed Wallace. Two bits of play from Tom Rogic in the last week that were simply jaw droppingly good and that's what we are here to celebrate."
