Bloody oath!! He's going to be very important over the next 10 yrs for us. Maybe Arnie could play a back 3, with Atkinson & Bos as wingbacks

Nieuwenhof starting. Devlin still recovering from injury. I really like Devlin. I think he's got technical limitations but his ball retention and short passing is good not to mention his stamina.

I think so and don't let people say we tried it last night and failed. It was ad hoc when the team was exhausted. Unfortunate but I think bringing on Burgess was right because he won some dangerous duels. Being the fitter I wish he had passed and sprinted way up top from time to time. There was a lot of space in the middle at the end. Ah well.

Triantis listed at rb weirdly?

Most of our golden gen made the big 5 by 23ish

Circati has a chance to be a step up from them

Triantis starting. What a great move for him, now he just needs to prove himself and keep his spot. Improve from there and hopefully can head back to Sunderland and aim for a starting position in the future.

Next week the climb up euro leagues continues

Silvera is getting great minutes, mcgree is back, glover has done well, triantis should get game time, both toures should get time again tho mo might be injured, bos and oniel getting plenty of time, yengi, burgess, circati, luongo, metcalfe, bilapovic, chipperfield and irvine all in promotion battles, neiwenhof finding his in scotland, kuols team is parking the bus but he still should get minutes here and there, volpato getting minutes too

Its not a super star list but its an improvement

Yeah I'm 90% sure Mo Toure is injured, not listed in the squad for like the sixth consecutive time. He's not a starter but he would definitely make the Paris FC squad. I'm pretty realistic with expectations for Mo, it's clear his movement and technical abilities are sub par but is strong, powerful and explosive and can score. His injury history is wild, I've never seen a footballer get more injured than Mo. He lasts about 5 games and then he is injured and out for a month. He missed four national team age-group calls-up due to sporadic injury and when he finally played he got injured at the Olyroos camp then came back after a month and 1 game later he was injured again. Unreal lmao...

Reading Triantis having a rough time. Caused a penalty? They're down 3:0 at ht. He's just come in and this is pretty typical of new loans being thrown right in.

Not to mention Triantis is under Monty where there's absolute trust so they'll keep working on it.

I watched a bit and he was looking good especially on ball. Unlucky to handball in the box to concede the penalty, those are always unlucky. I heard he's been reliable but defensively might need to be more consistent. Similar thoughts when I watched him with the Olyroos, can do 10 great and positive things but then may make a huge mistake which costs. Can be polarising.

According to Fotmob Triantis was the best player and a few fans think so as well but it's a bit mixed. Played a full 90, which he hasn't done for a long time. Excellent news for the Olyroos.

Was just about to comment. You lose 1 point for conceding a penalty, so he would be 2nd best player on the park if not for the pen in a 2 nil loss

Monty has made more of an emphasis on ball circulation and the players arent technical enough, so its pretty tough going. Hearts are similar but they have a very strong defence (though much leakier without kye)

His scored 

Screamer too, also some lovely dribbling around players in a deep block

Also seen him make eye of the needle passes with the outside of his boot against a deep block. Definitely need a player like him for the roos!

Until he commits to us I'll get excited, he's clearly a very exciting talent which we badly lack in the national team set up.

Haha of course the one time I don't watch Sassuolo Volpato scores. 

8.1 rating on Fotmob, best player for Sassuolo. These are the games you need to have when given the opportunity to start, have to make it count. Now guaranteed another start.

Liam Chipperfield assisted yesterday and played a full 90. He has 6 goals and 2 assists in 17 games for FC Sion as they sit on top of the ladder looking for promotion.

I think you mentioned last week that we've got him. Has he come out and declared for us?

I don't think anyone mentioned it, but Hrustic finally made a Matchday squad for the first time in over 7 & a half months overnight. Hopefully he gets significant playing time leading up to the WCQ late March.

I didn't see any reference on it, but on Wikipedia it mentions that he became an Australian citizen on the most recent Australia Day citizenship run
