Some reactions on twitter about the mooy performance

Good to see Mooy carrying his pre-season form into the season proper, hope he keeps it up

Good stuff from Mooy for sure! Here's hoping he keeps it up all season.

Great reviews for mooy. Brilliant start

tried to reply to Brah's post.

QPR vs Leeds at 9pm on BeIn 1 tonight. Is Luongo fit and available?

Yep and he has started most games in the pre season with decent reviews so it would be a surprise to not see him play.

Loving BeIN. 

ajax v sparta tonight
qpr play
as do villa (lyden)
celtic play hearts

am I missing any?

Halloran for Heidenheim vs Erzebirge Aue.
Degenek for 1860 Munich vs Greuther Furth
Bran Jones for Feyenoord vs Groningen
Juric for Luzern vs Basel

Luongo starting.  Game is on BeIN at 9

So good. Still filthy about losing the Premier league but it certainly eases the pain. 

They just need to have a red button feature to show multiple games at the same time

Holy god, the mobile version of the new forum format is shit.

Anyway what I meant to post,

QPR 1-0 up at half time. Luongo getting some nice touches, very tidy on the ball and has upped his defensive game a lot. 

In terms of the game, the championship can be annoying to watch sometimes, the amount of pointless long balls is ridiculous. They don't achieve anything apart from isolating the foward no where near the goal with his back to the goal. Pace wise it's terrific though, it's a big step up from the continent.

Juric and Degenek starting. Awesome weekend for Aussies abroad. Hopefully Rogic gets action later.

King Kenny starts, Goodwin on the bench

This new forum format has made everyone who celebrated the 1000th page of this thread look like a bunch of knobs.

Rogic is on the bench.

Jones clean sheet in 5:0 win. Good on him starting for Feyenoord.

We shall remember the true original 1000 page milestone :) I just use mobile and descending order and try to keep it brief. I don't mind the hidden quote feature. 

Early days but the QPR game was quite chaotic.Lots of pace but not as much control as I expected.
Luongo was tidy,but seemed to be anchored to the dm role until the second goal,after which he wandered further forward.He won some good tackles,but what a waste playing him so deep.His control on the ball would have been useful in the final third.
The worrying thing from his point of view was his last three forward passes were long balls,which didn't find their mark.
The commentators were raving about how QPR controlled the game,which was more to do with how poor Leeds were.Neither team effectively controlled possession .QPR were just better at winning it back.Neither team passed the ball around in the front half with any consistency.

Any streams for the Ajax and Sparta game?

It's official Rogers hates Rogic. 

Good obs regarding the Championship.


It is the directness of it which is deemed counterproductive for successful international football. No world powerhouse plays like many  Championship teams do.


The high pace/tempo is also deemed counterproductive for international football.  

Spectators might like this sort of football, but quality international teams  change  the tempo a lot more. 

Oh no.

Dougall starting in midfield. Goodwin bench. Currently down 2:1 to Ajax.

I feel ashamed I didn't even recognise the Aussies Abroad value of Sparta while browsing the fixtures.

Shocking news revealed in this thread; some teams, including those just promoted from the third division of English football, don't possess players that have the skills of La Liga players. 

I can only take a massive punt here and guess that their long ball tactics might be influenced by the fact that players that actually have the skills to play short passing games are in better sides, in better divisions.
