Behich mistake almost cost them a goal in the 39th minute.

Behich playing Galatasaray on Bein Sports 2 

I think poacher is harsh. His goals are frequently scored when there are players around and in front of him, as I pointed out before they arent exactly tap ins. He is excellent in his movement and creates a lot of opportunities with his running off the ball. With kruse and maclaren you would have two players making dangerous runs in behind

lets hope maclaren comes good at hibs. SPL midfields are significantly weaker than a league but the strikers and cbs there are better so its still a step up for him

amen, NT thread on wether Jamie will be our second striker in Russia

I think we need a dedicated thread like Aussies Abroad Socceroo Selection Debates

100% engine and poacher. Quickness is his high 'FIFA Rating' . average-to-high speed, then you'd have shot at about 71 or somesh*t

Truth is he's no counter attack specialist either. He ends up poaching em' on the counter too. This where he falls way short overseas.

A-League you'd always have some sloppy shit happennings at the back for him to pounce on n make something of. Rarely this happens in Euro

Euro defenses are a bit more strong and don't let in much. This could end up impacting his confidence also , not having many goal chances/opportunities throughout the duration of a game. Thus, making his game worse. 

he could potentially play at a high level if he found a team that was tactically suited to him

yeah like Hibs? lol I don't see an up side, will either play sufficiently well or be in limbo

he is a good shooter and great off the ball

he could potentially play at a high level if he found a team that was tactically suited to him

but he off course participates little in hold up play and isn't great at take ons so he could find himself on the bench for some modest teams

Behich starts

He's had his shot/s. Wasn't effective for Darmstadt either. He can not create his own shot. 

How many of those shots did he take more than 2 touches.

Maclaren, kruse and to a lesser degree leckie are all counter attacking specialists.

If we played on the counter a front three like that could tear teams apart but maclaren isnt the guy you want if you are pinning an opposition back dominating possession and trying to find an avenue in tight spaces

how many were on counter

It felt like 10 were against CCM.

Ignoring pens

1st goal hit across the keeper not a tap in
2nd goal beat the keeper from a cut back not a tap in
3rd goal a tap. in
4th goal launches a rocket from distance
5th goal tap in
7th goal keeper out of play but hit from a wide angle. Harsh to call a tapin
8th goal beats the keeper from a cross not a tap in
9th goal headed cross not a tap in
10th goal beats the keeper 1v1 not a tap in
12th goal tap in
14th goal good turn and beats the keeper not a tap in
17th goal wins a header brings it to ground a beats the keeper not a tap in
18th goal a tap in
19th goal beats the keeper not a tap in

Reports in Australia claim Tom Rogic has rejected new Celtic deal

Tom Rogic has rejected the offer of a new contract from Celtic, according to reports in the player’s native Australia.

SBS’ sports hub, The World Game, claims the 25-year-old was underwhelmed with the quality of offer on the table and has been concerned with his playing time this season.

Rogic has suffered through his usual injury problems in the 2017/18 campaign, but even when fit he’s not been an automatic first-choice in Brendan Rodgers’ starting XI.

The player has just 15 months left to run on his current deal, which he signed in the summer of 2016.

If they can’t get him signed up to a new term the Parkhead side may have to consider selling the player this coming summer.

Tom Rogic will see his current contract expire in 2019. Picture: SNS

rofl. no f*cking way dude. Does Theirry Henry like, act like a spaz n try n light the mood for his c*nts team mates. AH HAHAhA
Why do we need these crazy shit players, why do we have them 

Move em on

Wtf are you talking about lol. Let them have a sense of humour.

I really dislike these Aussie football player/joker/comedians. I mean, is that what football is? I'd like to think the opposite.
Professional idiots Thwaite & McGowan.
"look at me, I KNOW I'm a shit football player but my sense of humour is where I'm different to any other players"

he doesn't seem to care if he's injured.. all looks the same - laying in hospital bed, playing 

I didn’t realise people still call themselves football fans whilst making dumb comments like “he only scores tap ins and penalties”

Good, needs to move to a more competitive league which can hopefully improve his fitness and defensive work rate.

Rodgers doesn't seem a vindictive manager, a classy person he is.

wonder if the same tactics will be used again .. not play him etc

that would piss em right off perhaps

Rogic has rejected a new Celtic deal. Good on him. 

Sainsbury with an interview on Facebook. Doing lots of gym work. Won't be playing this weekend I think.

World game with a shocker of a headline about Socceroo injury only it being Ryan McGowan. Credit to him for his good performance against Chile. Unfortunately he's been overwhelmed almost every other time and stands out as a poor player. Most fans forget he even exists due to such low quality play.

Looks like penalties and tap ins to me.. some of the crosses were on a platter..I could score them. The goal Oar setup defines what kind of player Maclaren is - he's a poacher. That's it. No beautiful hold up play, turn and shoot, nothing from outside the box, never beats a defender.... should I go on? Do we really want to stay ranked 32nd in the world or?
