Amini starting. That's 9 consecutive line-ups.

Well in.

anyone got a stream for bvb 2?

That's no good :(

Amini scores!!!

Just trolling can't even find a text commentary

Kruse starting.

Wilkshire had a good game for Dynamo, won 1-0.

No mention of Amini yet. Seems like the other team are dominating. (I use google translate)

No Sam, Kiessling, Bender and Donati. Hyppia is probably resting them for the CL game. Hopefully, Kruse can score a goal or two in this game.

Rogic on the bench

Federici must be earning some good dollars to stay at Reading as #2. Manager clearly prefers McCarthy.

Kruse is starting according to the official team sheet :) it's in Braunschweig so give it to them Robbie!

Leckie and Ruka tomorrow.

Halloran not in squad yesterday.

Leipzig up 1-0 after 12 mins.

Amini got a mention on 48mins being in the opponent's half only to have the ball taken.

Kruse already stamping his authority. Almost scored too.

Got the 5 game conference on. Just saw Kruse's chance. Point blank and really should've that away.

Was that a legit offside, what's the rule?

That just seems like bullshit to give that. Would've been 1-0.

Kruse was ok. Involved in just about every chance but should have scored....

Kruse off (double sub), 62'. Decent first half, involved in their chances. Very quiet second.

Lowry subbed on after 6mins for his injured teammate. Millwall up 2-1 at the half with McDonald scoring.

Williams starting for Boro. Celtic down at home 1-0 at the break. Maybe a good time to bring an agile midfielder to win the match? Let's see Lennons's excuse this time.

irvine started

Bad day at the office for the whole Leverkusen team away to the worst team in the league. 1-0 loss ending with 10 men.

Herd on the bench for Villa too. No action yet and Rogic not one of the two subs made so far for Celtic.

Yep no Rogic again. #-o

leverkusen basically played their backups apart from a couple players and it obviously backfired. but theyre focusing on the champions league so i guess if they go on to win their next game in that competition then it wont be so bad

Anyone see Lowry's own goal?

He should ask for a loan move - to Hearts or something, they could really do with someone like Rogic...sitting at the bottom of the SPL and not going anywhere with their current squad.

another poor game for wilkshire, lowest rated player only 2 tackles and an intercept (which is average for him at the moment)

williams got five tackles and played well apart from the yellow

jedi got 4 tackles and 5 intercepts, amazing! I would love to see him, holland, williams, davidson and milligan play defensive positions for the nt

It's a difficult one - Maybe our NT should just plump to a 'Bresc-Jedi' partnership, but keep Milligan on - he dropping back to his natural CB possie, but....

...'WITH THE BALL', playing out from back, Miligan can advance and move into midfield, while Jedinak slips deep and back to form a three? Apparently he kind of does that with Palace at the moment? Therefore he's a quasi-CB with the NT in certain moments, when we have the ball, he stays back and so we rely less on his distribution or what not, as he and Milligan switch when transitioning forward.

But 'WITHOUT THE BALL' when we are deeper, which is usually often against bigger sides - Jedinak reverts to screening role, while Milligan is behind, partnering Neill, maintaining the defensive line, marking players tightly, contesting aerial duels well, being composed under pressure and pressing, making clear decisions, taking up good positions etc...

That could be the perfect solution to that whole conundrum? Jedi's strengths 'off the ball' best utilised, Milligan's qualities 'on the ball' utilised - Both player's preferred positions and respective strengths, best utilised?


With:

Without:
