+x+xDaggers bringing in assists along with he's goals, which tells me he was under-utilised when he was at the Victory and other clubs he was with here. Again Australian coaches not backing young Australian No.9s, attacking midfielders who play in key positions im also slowly starting to see a trend in ball playing No.6s too. Risk adverson is becoming a problem with Australian coaches. D'Agostino was a starter at Victory ahead of Fornaroli, with two wide forwards either side of him. Victory had a big role in the form that made him a Socceroo and secured his move to Norway. I wouldn't say he was underutilised. I disagree, for context he registered zero assists playing for Melb Victory mainly playing as a poacher in he's two seasons whilst at he's new club in Norway he has registered 5 assists where he's shown he's creative side as someone who could not only link up play but put a final pass in as well. Australian coaches dont trust young Australian attackers which is why they rely a-lot on foreign and experienced Aussies to play in those positions.

I don't necessarily disagree with your point but D'Agostino isn't the right player to use as an example. I don't know why he didn't register assists but he was Victory's first choice no. 9 when he left and we were playing a 4-3-3 with wide forwards, Folami/Ikonomides and Nani/Velupillay - and Rojas prior to that. It wasn't lack of opportunity or support for D'Agostino at Victory, in fact that helped him secure his move.

He scored goals which helped no doubt but my point is using the players to their best of their ability, clearly they are using him well over there in Norway and will see how he gots for the rest of the season but adding some assists to he's goals shows he's more than just a poacher. Maybe a Socceroo call up is worth a go in the next window to see he's improvement with other national team players.

Arnolds system needs a no. 9 who is pacy, can press and with a decent header. D'Agostino is also showing good connection with the other forwards at club level, some of his passing is class, which will be good with our wide forwards in the NT. Duke, D'Agostino, Borello and Toure are the no. 9's we should be using imo. I'd love to see D'Agostino starting, Toure subbed and capped sometime soon.

I just read Genreau was man of the match vs FC Nantes. I hope that helps him secure a starting place in the first team.

These are the 4 we should be focusing on this cycle.

+xI just read Genreau was man of the match vs FC Nantes. I hope that helps him secure a starting place in the first team. Just fantastic from him In the last two years hrustic and genreau have held down starting spots in big five leagues For players born between 1981 and 1995, the infamous missing generation, there were only 7 others: Mooy, leckie, Kruse, jedi, Garcia, Ryan and Brett holman. Nothing to get excited about yet, but just a reminder of how tough things were during the missing generation

+xSouttar bench again coach deserves to get relegated It's an utter disgrace. So they're forgoing a centre back with a very dangerous diagonal pass and is a menace at set plays not to mention generally defends soundly for someone who's not played since October and was apart of the 4 point in 9 game start? Souttar and Burgess in the same league next year.

After last week performance, Dean Smith insisting to play Faes instead of Souttar is a criminal.

Comes on during awaiting free kick and rockets it straight to team mate 45m away at corner flag. Don't even want to entertain the idea he's not good enough. They can hard score either. Smith has got it wrong and the squad has a certain rot. Glad in hindsight Souttar misses out to avoid blame. Got to go for a massive rebuild in the Championship. Plenty of football available there.

Reckon souttar should try for a release and another EPL club. Maybe one of the promoted clubs Souttar was excellent for around half of his games. With a bit of preseason he could do really well Leicester have been even worse the Southampton the last few months What happened? Just showed it can be a really bad idea to sack a coach if you don't have someone better

if Souttar cant get into this defense I am worried cause they were awful, so disjointed no one listening to each other. Maybe he has relegation clause?

Maybe Dean Smith & John Terry just pick CB based from national team. Souttar ( Australia national team) Soyuncu (turkey national team) Evan (Ireland national team) Faes (Belgium national team)

+xAfter last week performance, Dean Smith insisting to play Faes instead of Souttar is a criminal. this, Faes is a train wreck, though I'm thankful his ongoing errors made good for LFC :) In a way glad Souttar wasn't in the starting line up, they were never gonna stop us but for their first 20min efforts. Faes again errored for our 2nd goal, lets the ball bounce instead of attacking it, we grab it and then score. Yer Souttars first distribution was a rippa ball.
Love Football

Yazbek playing much more advanced role as a twin ten today. Daggers nearly had two assists and a goal but all three opportunities missed. Viking down 2-0 at the break despite dominating territory and chances
a bit shakey at the back
it is good yazbek is playing ten today. Jelacic is the only other ten from his age group getting time at a good level unless volpato plays for us

Game ends 3-2 Viking are second on the ladder and in a Europa League spot. Rosenberg the usual giants of the league struggling but the other giants in bode dominating
Yazbek player the first half at cam. He is normally an 8

Tense. McGree involved a lot. Some swift passing on edge of box but Coventry dogged.

bad luck riley mcgree.
Gee middlesbrough moved the ball slowly this game! They looked a bit scared to lose the ball and had trouble generating chances
they needed the ref to call more fouls and yellows as the physical nature of the game made it tough to work the ball in tight spaces
