LOL, what a fucking dive against Celtic to win a penalty :D

1-1 in Hearts v Celtic after a 35 minute Hearts penalty. Time to bring on Rogic.

Ajax making it 1-3 in their favour as soon as I open their stream. :/

Goalscorer shooting over Dougall's last ditch slide too, but he won't be to blame.

And clubs on the continent with much smaller budgets don't feel the need to play hoofball either imagine that, It's almost as if budget is not an ipso facto in playing style 

Well over 75% possession for Ajax since that 3rd goal went in, but the English commentators praising their performance before that.

Goodwin on for Sparta.

Tomato for Ajax, probably too late to affect much.

Nice to see the Australian flags behind the goal put there by the Sparta fans.

Lyden not in the squad for Villa tonight.

he just got back from injury

Da Silva on the bench.

Rogic coming on in the 72nd minute, still 1-1.

The last part of the Hearts/Celtic game I've watched has been shhiiiiiiiiiiiiiitt.

That'll make Scott Sinclair popular at Celtic, absurd that celebrating with the fans got him a yellow.

All thanks to Rogic coming on, of course.

In all seriousness he's been poor. Hopefully he provides something in the last moments to push him into contention. 

Rogic doing well to get off a shot deflected for a corner.

Having a hard time telling what position Rogic is in, looks like second striker behind Dembele in a flat 442.

Edit: Now things have settled with Griffifths off, it seems that this is the case.

Game over in Edinburgh, 1-2 for Celtic. Rogic not bad, but not great in his 20 odd minute cameo.

at least rodgers is playing him well advanced up the pitch.  defensively celtic have been sinking into a 4231 - tonight rogic was in the middle of the 3. essentially a second striker.

decent shift.  early mistake by rogic almost ended up in a goal for hearts.  he didnt get much time on the ball at all. but no one really was in that.  very physical game. im just glad rogic didnt cop a muscat in the mix of it all.  

Some encouraging reports thanks for the reports. 

Overall, a very positive first up weekend I thought. More Aussies in action then usual. 

Don't know what you lot are talking about re the QPR game.  QPR actually played the ball along the ground for most of the game and actually played some nice football.

Luongo was pretty much everyones man of the match if anyone is interested.  Seems he has been at tackling school during the off season, he was everywhere.

5 tackles 1 intercept according to whoscored

We could have a very creative midfield of luongo mooy and rogic (though we will see how irvine and antonis develop and how jedi ages)

I counted 2 interceptions but i could be wrong.  He also won 3 aerial duels which is impressive for anyone let alone a man of his stature.  His defensive cover on the break after a cleared corner also led to the penalty.  This was arguably his best game for QPR in my opinion.

I'll be honest I only watched the last few minutes of the first half and all of the second half - but there was a lot of hoof ball on display. 

Scotch and coke,
I watched the second half and of course not every play was a long ball.But there were many ,particularly from deep.They generally were high risk balls to the front third,but indicated a lack of ideas as to how to get around the defence.Luongo had to play three long balls forward because there were no options in the team structure to take the ball forward.
Ita just one game. But in that game no one stood out as having good control,positional sense to create space and passing skills.Luongo was tidy until he decided to long ball passes.But what else could he do to promote the ball forward?

There was one moment where he could have played a pass along the deck to Chery who had a bit of space around him, but he decided to go the long through pass instead and you can see Chery was frustrated. I honestly wonder what the instruction is from JFH, there is a combination, I wonder if players are confused.

if Mooy, Luongo and Rogic have big seasons would love to see a midfield triangle with them at the Confed cup... see how we go?
