Great little bit of deception from mabil there. 

Parma fans highlighting circati. Think he is on track to be the best cb we have ever produced 

Is it a good thing or bad thing that circati has escaped the hype?

Balard with some really nice vision on the turn nearly tears utrect apart

Good he's somewhat less on the radar. He's got to do well at Parma for a while yet. Any big money links to big clubs, while warranted, have their way of flattening a player. Many American players over the years have done well while young and then they move to massive clubs and have big pride tags only for lacklustre national team performances. 

While a lot more complex than what I've said, Circati should play his career as the marathon rather than a sprint. A lot of early hype can lead to a deflating mid career. 

Needs capping ASAP. 

Really deserves a recall. That bit of experience with Irankunda also there is an appropriate balance.

Another player to keep an eye on as we follow Circati’s progress is Japan national team GK Zion Suzuki, who was actually linked with Man Utd in the off season but chose Parma as they would guarantee him game time in Serie A.

Suzuki was the official MOTM in the Milan game overnight. You’d imagine we’ll be seeing a lot of him against the Socceroos over the coming decade as he’s only just turned 22. 

Here’s a topic that I don’t think has been discussed enough: Irankunda has been consistently played as a central striker in all of his appearances so far for both the Bayern first team in pre season, as well as his Bayern II matches. 

Goodness he was awful at the Asian Cup. Seems to have had a bit of a resurgence.

RE: Stensness, if we’re being honest, Deng’s Socceroos performances have been absolute ass (respectfully).

Stensness is also younger than Deng, and has only had 2 caps, so seems a bit harsh to write him off if the alternative being suggested is Deng.

Regardless of Stensness vs Deng though, even an EPL bench player Burgess clears them both. Hopefully Burgess stays fit and we never have to find out who the 5th choice CB is. 

Fair points. The noise for Deng online mostly exists because he played for Victory. Some of their fans would have a national team made up of their players only. 

Very true if we're playing with 2 up top then someone like Irankunda can start there and drift accordingly. He hasn't looked out of place centrally either. 

That Asian cup performance was woeful. He'd obviously done something before or since to get a Serie A gig. Reminded me of Ghana keeper Kevin Kingston. 

Hibs forum saying Boyle was useless except for his goal. Seems to have lost his pace.

Just fantastic but I wish he'd cut out that celebration. Just begging to do an ACL in an over-abundance of joy.

Still no Francois for Wigan. AMB and Bilokapic stuck on bench. Watts with his regular mystery disappeance from squad after good form. 

If Arnold sticks with two up front Yengi and Irankunda is a good partnership that compliments each other. 

yazbek hooked for using a swearword in the mls, club allegedly investigating

jgr a late sub

So true. 

Could be a very exciting classic big-man-little-man partnership up front. 

He has been pretty poor for the Socceroos as well. Couldn't dribble past anyone as a winger.

Surely Irankunda will take over his role?

Boyle was great in his last game as a left forward. He's still got good football in him. 

For what and even if, Boyle's pace is decreasing, he has made up for with positional awareness and tight pace movement. Albeit Palestine, that last link up goal breaking through their lines was great. I'd always pick Irankunda if it came down to the two but he's a good squad member. Mabil has been particularly good of late.

Apparently Yazbek subbed at HT as a disciplinary measuring for calling someone a karnt. Nashville investigating. 

America, where school shootings are normalised and dropping the C-bomb is not.

I always hoped that Bayern would try him at CF.I feel that it is his best position.
