No Duncan again for AGF - concerning after signing a 5 yr extention.
No Francois for Fulham u23s - must have a niggle.

Hopefully he starts tomorrow in the league cup

AGF wouldn’t release him for Olympics either. Frustrating.

That was annoying because he was one of our better players at the AFC championship tournament, along with O'Neill

Just watched the Lommel highlights. Arzani only involved in one highlight where he blazed the ball over the cross-bar. He was substituted at 2-0, and the player who he was subbed for scored to make it 3-0.

This bloke is a new signing that they paid 900k Euros for and is direct competition for Arzani. Things like this, and not joining up with the team directly after an intl break will make things a lot harder for him to play consistently. 



literally pointless coming to the qualifiers if he wasn't going to play... now he's got plenty of work to do AGAIN to get into the team.

Yep. Really pointless. There were other options if it was a depth issue such as Kamau.

This isn't obviously to say he won't be involved from the start next match-day but he doesn't do himself any favours. He may be favoured for now but he has to start showing something, because the competition is clearly strong.

Cannot understand why Arnie didn't play Arzani at all recently.

Especially against Vietnam when we needed a spark.

Such a good player but already showing signs of a misspent career.

Arzani is a strange case. A very slow work in-progress - especially at European club level. So many can see his potential but he just isn’t delivering so far at least. Hopefully it’s a much better/different story in a few years time.
Arnold was happy to protect the 1-0 lead towards end of Vietnam game and didn’t wanna risk an ambitious attacking player coming on and maybe turning ball over and conceding on counter-attacks? But honestly thought Arzani would have been better than Mabil late in 2nd half when he was clearly running on empty

He just needs a season or two of uninterrupted football imo. It's his confidence which is lacking atm

I said it at the time but he should have come back to the AL and get minutes as opposed to playing in Europe. From all reports talent is not his issue its attitude that keeps holding him back in Europe. I understand why he may have a poor attitude, he was a little cocky when he started anyway then played in a WC after only playing half a season, so this all has likely gone to his head. If he wants to salvage his European career though he really needs to change this

Have heard this rumor of ‘bad attitude’ from that ‘i will only speak Dutch’ coach at Utrecht. But people like Bert van Marwijk and G Arnold and Assistant NT coach Rene M have only good things to say about Arzani. I’ve only heard it from Craig Moron and Kalic who have never even worked directly with him?!
who else has said he has bad attitude that has any credibility?

YouTube for Ligue2 BKT. It's only short clips, mostly just goals and goal attempts.
I haven't been able to find extended highlights or mini matches anywhere.
The French news site  L'Equipe streams all games live but doesn't have a highlights or VOD service. I think you need a decent VPN to access the live streams, but I can't remember for certain, it's a little while since I last checked.

Didn't seem like his confidence was lacking at the Olympics - close to our best player.

I've never heard any bad attitude rumours about Arzani and have always thought he came across as a decent, thoughtful chap when interviewed. Unlike, for example, Danny De Silva who's always struck me as a cocky little bugger.

Mind you, a little cockiness in a young sportsman is fine, as long as you've got the ability to back it up. If you don't then you're just a prick.

Suwon actually won 3-1 mate. Jackson is having a hell of a season - playing 90 mins nearly every game, 11 games since joining, 2 goals and an assist playing CB.
