I;d say my predictions all come true, brilliante, davidson etc etc

In tsf's defence, he does have a point. Hopefully it doesn't jeopardise Kruse's resurgence with Leverkusen. Having said that I don't think it should stop a player being selected for international friendlies as many of our players would fall into this category.

I actually think some minutes for the national team might help Kruse at this stage.

As I said, these players have proved themselves. If you cannot understand the simple notion of a player that hasn't played in a year, is fighting for a position when the coach has proven players in front of him, then I cannot help you. The last thing he needs is worrying about games against teams as pathetic as UAE.

He needs to concentrate on his club football.

You've still yet to explain how game time, as opposed to a couple of training sessions is guaranteed to make his status within the club worse.

I can imagine the Leverkusen coach now "Damn, Robbie got some more competitive minutes into him post ACL instead of staying behind with half of the team going through the motions he's been doing for the past 3 months, he's dropped".

Game time? Yeah, the coach will be frothing at the lips that a striker he barely knows just had a hit out against the might of UAE. He'll be rushed straight into the starting line up.

Also, if you know anything about football, it takes mentality and concentration in getting back from injuries. Let him focus on his club and their program for him. Worry about Australia come January.

Son is a regular in the starting 11 and scoring regularly. Kruse is a benchwarmer

Where did I say it's going to get him a first 11 place? All I've asked is for you to back up why it's guaranteed for him to lose standing, not state the obvious that it won't make him an automatic starter. You're shifting goal posts.

You also need game time coming back from injuries. He's played 8 competiive minutes in the past 9 months, he needs the minutes.



No shit, Son also plays for a 4th rate country which was one of his statements, hence why I brought him up



Son plays for a footballing nation that isn't that much better than our own.


Edit: This is going to continue going around in circles, we'll see in the weeks after the international break if it has had a negative effect.

I don't like it when you fight :,(

I thought we've been having a reasonable discussion not a fight, nobody has insulted the other yet, just differing opinions.

Vidosic assist

You're saying you knew that Brilliante, 21 year old from Bundaberg who got cut from the WC squad after two seasons at Newcastle Jets, wouldn't be a starter every week for Fiorentina?

Bozanic subbed on, returning after a long injury.

Wilkshire's having a great game, involved in two goals.

He's not going to... No.. No he wouldn't. Would he?

Maty Ryan played his 50th league game for Club Brugge tonight in their 3-0 win over Standard Liege. He hasn't missed a second of every official game since his arrival fourteen months ago.

Sainsbury started on the bench away to Ajax. Subbed on, 46'.

Busy weekend missed every game but saw oar created 6 chances again! This is incredibly dominant by oar

Ingolstadt are on top of the table thanks to 1-0 win.

F me that was some goal from Fiorentina

Brilliante subbed on in the 86th minute. not much but still he got on the pitch

Good to see brillante still getting subbed on.

Getting minutes including a start in your first season for a megaclub is excellent.

Cahill got subbed on in the 85th minute only to be sent off three minutes later.

Ouch.

after all the gloom and doom by half you idiots this is pretty good news all round. I'm very confused why Davidson moved to West Brom.

Read that he had a good chance to get on the score sheet, not sure if this is true or not.

Let's hope he gets an extension on that loan.

Found it. Goal line clearance stopped him. go to 2:35 to see it

Nice find. Probably should have buried it on the second attempt.

Probably should have buried it but it's always a positive he is getting in scoring positions.

Tommy oar has made 6.4 chances a game
the next best in europe i can find is guairin for inter with 4 per game

ange may have found his broich
