Langerak comes out to punch clear. He gets checked by a team mate affecting the punch and an opponent can volley in. Slight communication issue but his defenders could have scrambled better.

they are having a great season so far.  it would be difficult for smith to get a look in.

Pretty much everyone at the bottom got a result yesterday. Now Burnley need to answer. Maybe O'Neil will make the squad.

Ryan fails to make the match day squad 

The number of clubs in Germany that need a decent keeper excites me that he could get a move to buli2 or 1. A La Liga loan would be fine but not the second division.

I'm sure Kruse will move in January. His best chance is going to a club like Bremen Darmstadt or even Düsseldorf.

Why do i feel like we're always making excuses for this guy ? 

They're second on the table, he went 5 games at one stage with clean sheets, and if you take away 1 game where he copped 5 goals when coming back from inter duty he's conceded less than a goal a game. But even with that poor game he cleary doesn't need excuses.

At dortmund however I think there were too many where people questioned if him of defence at fault.

He's put in a big effort to learn Spanish in a short amount of time, so I'm thinking he'd want to stay in Spain. Surely there's a lower La Liga club that could use him.

A K-League site put Mrcela in their team of the season with this to say:

CB - Tomislav Mrčela (Jeonnam)
The Aussie with Croatian roots joined the Dragons in the summer and slotted into the back 3 really well with his physicality and ability to bring the ball forward and start attacks.


http://www.kleagueunited.com/2016/11/2016-k-league-best-xi.html

With Ange only selecting 3 out and out centre backs I don't know if he should be selected but he must right on the heels of the other blokes. Spira would be the easiest to drop in my opinion since he is in China and got relegated but to be honest that was hardly his fault as his team had the 6th best defence but the second worst attack.

Also found this from the OS_Aussies twitter

Corey Gamerio is the player who injured himself during a photo shoot and has never really recovered from there. I think it's been a massive loss. I reckon he be in the National team setup by now if he wasnt injured.

When Corey Gamerio came on in the 63rd minute for FC Heindovan 4 years ago, it was a performance that is etched in the mind of more soccer followers  than John Aloisi's penalty against Uruguay, but he hasnt really been able to find the same memorable performance since.  Not sure whether this is injury related or not, it is a pretty high standard to live up to.

Pretty big wrap I would have thought for Mrcela ... although paints a pretty ordinary picture of the level of defenders in the K-League (in general). He seemed to fall off the Socceroos radar when he moved to Korea (although Ogenovski and WIlkinson both won caps when playing in Korea)

would be big news, but can't see him breaking to Juve .. maybe ever,  if he signed he'd be part of a 50+ member squad , half of whom are farmed out on lone repeatedly.  Ala Ikon..

even the article admits this is just juve accumulating young talent (locking them away before other clubs can) and taking a chance they may get a star of the future - propable 1 out of 20 make it.

Did you actually watch any of the goals he conceded?

First was a one on one against Rooney ... he got a glove on it. You'd expect a striker to finish that 9 out of 10 times.

Second goal was a cut back to an attacker with an open goal. Jones had to ensure Rooney couldn't score, before worrying about a cut back (that is what his defenders are for).

Third goal was a mistake by him, parried it into his goal rather than away.

Fourth goal was a great strike from distance. Jones' positioning was good and he dove at full stretch, but the shot was too powerful and accurate (bottom corner).

So yes he "could" have saved 3 of the goals ... but two of them would have been world class

The first one he got chipped with weak hands. Second goal was tough, but his poor positioning gave him no hope, 3rd goal was a horrible error. And the 4th goal was incredibly weak hands as was the first, absolutely no way that ball should end up in the back of the net.

Can't agree with anything you've said there (other than the 3rd goal comment). Are you a goalkeeper coach by any chance?

I do actually have a goalkeeping certificate and played as a keeper for my club. But you don't need much experience to know that you need strong hands as a keeper. That final goal Jones got a good hand to that ball which any decent keeper would have stopped as they all have strong hands. When the ball hits you, the ball should never ever go backwards.

Ryan made the exact same save against Thailand, difference was he actually had strong hands so the ball didn't end up in the back of the net.

Would be a terrible move imo. Any aussie signing for a big Italian club is a one-way ticket to the scrap heap.
