Decent form from Borrello. He should see match time this season. 

defense is leaky a f 

Imagine having F Torres to choose for games, lol. 

Theoharous on the bench for the U23s, Italiano isn't in that squad.


Should've tipped it over but it was a good shot with some movement

Losing 1-3, but only with the last goal in the 92nd minute, after rotating pretty much his entire team on the 75th minute, against what looks very much like a first team City side.

Elder on bench for Leicester vs. Stoke. They are playing two friendlies concurrently and he is with what seems to be the starting XI. 

Dylan Ryan on the bench for Willem II vs. Crete. 

Irvine scoring in a friendly against Doncaster on right now.

Bournemouth are signing Billing, not Mooy, from Huddersfield

Holy shit. SMH

He's had some good games but has incredibly slow and is just 'big.'

Anyways at least Mooy will be playing all the time at Huddersfield. It is annoying he's at that level when he did well in the EPL. 

Same thing every summer where we get our hopes up that he might at least be included in the squad only to get loaned last minute. I'd much rather he get settled at another club on loan earlier in pre season. If he does make the Leicester squad I don't think he'd play much. 

True, really it's the safest best from a Socceroos point of view, at least we'll know he'll be playing and playing well at a decent level every week for Hudders if he stays, but who knows where he could end up if he goes.

I do feel this is the last chance to get an upwards move. If he stays at Huddersfield he has the winter as a deadline. After that it'll probably be Huddersfield then another fha Championship side or EPL as a backup. 

Cruijff shield between PSV and Ajax. Ajax lead 1 0 early. Sainsbury not in 11 and I have no bench information. I laugh at how the PSV fans moan about their defence every time. A fit and confident Sainsbury is a very good player. He's been in a rut for a long time and needs to get out of it. 

Both Sainsbury and Viergever on the bench.

Beadling scoring in a 4-0 League Cup win for Dunfermline.

Italiano was subbed on against Angers
Degenek starting
Timotheou bench

Slight shame Timotheou is on the bench but this is first team football and it'll be a good season of growth. 

PSV have had a very ordinary pre season and the Basel game is massive. Van Bommel is under a lot of pressure.

Hearts eliminated from cup. Bozanic off bench while Garuccio wasn't in the squad. 

Maty played the full game as Brighton thrashed Birmingham City 4-0 in a friendly in Birmingham overnight.

Maty yet to concede this pre season. 

They got too many game-losing defenders. Only 1 game Sains got bad publicity, the errors weren't even his fault.

ESPNFC to back that up. Van Bommels problem is he caves in to the fans. He'll be gone soon at this rate.

I have full faith sainsbury will come through this rough patch. With Degenek back at red star and timotheu beginning to kick on he might be a little bit worried. Hopefully big year for Souttar 

Brad Smith goes off injured in the Sounders game after 30 minutes. Hopefully injury isn't too bad. 

Good news is Sainsbury seems to be fighting it out. Let’s be honest though, he hasn’t been great for Aus since World Cup and by all reports nobody in Holland rates him on performance. 

John Iredale scored on his debut for Wolfsburg II. brilliant bit of strikers work.

I was just going to post that. Pretty impressive and his first league game for their u/23 team.

Does anyone here know much about wolfsburg? Is their a chance that Iredale could make their first team squad if he keeps getting goals like that?

They have Weghorst who is a top-class striker, then they have Ginczek who is also decent, but has injury problems, then their is Mehmedi a Swiss international who usually plays as a CF but can do a job up-front... and that is basically it for their 'No.9's' . However they have a dearth of wingers/Cam's who could play as the 9, such as Ntep and Malli.

So, if iredale is to get into the match-day squad he'll need to continue scoring each week and prove he is worthy, or he has to hope that both Weghorst and Ginczek are out injured.

I'm seeing a fairly consistent trend with Wolfsburg's strikers (the two mentioned above), is that they are a fairly burly lot, so Iredale seems as though he'll fit right in if he's required.

Would be good to just seem him cement himself in the second team. Still very young..
