2025/26 Merlin Röhl

[bluerobert]

Der Ketwig Kaiser

 

[Tommy Chong]

I might be alone on this, but I saw enough today from Rohl to convince me to start him over Tim and to make Tim the 60’ sub.

I thought exactly the same thing.

For sure I would give him a chance to
start once he’s been properly acclimated to the PL.

He's still young and adapting.

I like the look of him.

He definitely looks like he’s build for the PL.

He should have started.

Sorry, "Tim" is really not of the required standard.

 

[Pootsy]

Very pleased with his Cameo there. Though will he be ready to face them?

When Merlin does finally find his stride, Matty…

I agree, except for the 60 minute thing. I think Tim is a replacement for injuries and not much more. (That's no disrespect, and I believe him to be a good player, because a Premier League injury replacement is bloody near the top of the heap, really).

Thought was some good moments today still work to do on building his strength up so we can add that power to his game. But look like another box to box and when gana is away could see him filling in as looks to have a defensive side to his game. That woukd mix with ganer sitting and kdh have freedom and rohl being box to box

 

[bluelife]

He was a bit too eager initially but loved the composure on his quick thinking ball through to Barry. Promising in itself

 

[sandman77]

He's 23 mate.

Aaaw, then he was sh1te

 

[TheNinja]

Did 2 or 3 good ball recoveries today where he didn't look like he'd get there first. 1 in the first few minutes after coming on. Looks decently strong, won some headers and looks like he can pass a ball. Very nice cameo I thought

 

[D. Amokachi]

Not bad for a 12 year old

 

[Eggs]

…started well and fell off a bit. I’d think this is a big difference to the physicality of the German League but it was a promising cameo and he he could be a good one when he gets up to speed.

 

[bluestevon]

Fww minutes after coming on he had a moment were the pace of the game obviously caught him by surprise as he thought he'd have more time, noticeable that straight after he immediately started quickening things up.

Sign of a player with a good footy IQ.

Tim meanwhilst still looks surprised every time in those situations.

Side note, really surprised me with how fast he was - did not expect that at all.

 

[bluestevon]

Yeah agree, can see why there’s stuff coming out from training that he’s impressing.

Was pleased to see he looks comfortable in that role next to Gueye. If he can play there then hopefully Garner and him can cover Gana over AFCON without too much disruption.

Think there's a slight chance second half of the season could see us starting Garner and Roehl together at times as well

 

[ElGato]

One of the signings we made who doesn't need minutes in the legs... played for Freiburg on the Sunday and flew over to sign for us on the Monday.

Can see him eeking out a starting spot
