For such a large squad that game time ratio doesn't read too poorly. Sparta are also struggling so it's only natural the coach can be a bit panicky and try new things to save themselves. Not too much stability this season. 

It reads poorly when he has started 4 games since October. He was a regular at the start of the season and has lost his place, unlike Dougall who has only missed 34 minutes the entire season. If you are good enough, you will get game time and won't be rotated in and out of the squad.

Yeah, started both seasons as a regular starter and looks like ending both seasons as a bench player, just not doing well enough to keep his spot. He just needs to play better, the chances have been there and he has failed.

Gerbasch and Pasquali up in a few hours

Milligan starting in the ACL against UAE side Al Jazira.

CB 

1-0 up

Milligan making a goal line clearance with the keeper miles away as I opened that.

Seems to be opening his mouth a lot for someone who doesn't speaka da languish.

Other CB ignores him for the pass.

Then he cleans up oppo striker (lucky not yellow) 

Nice few minutes of play (yeah)

Elder starting against Manchester City
Gersbach starting
Amini on the bench
2-1 win for Milligan

huge FA cup game for elder against one of the best teams on the planet rn.  it's just kicked off if you are looking.

against an almost full strength city. only de bruyne and ederson on the bench.

On the Juric debate, it hasn’t been mentioned that he doesn’t take penalties like a lot of strikers.
If he did, his goal scoring rate would look very healthy.

Red card for city. Still 0:0

Will Grigg's on fire! 1:0 Wigan 79min

great goal.  did the striker just outpace walker?  

something like 20 shots to 4 to man city...  elder has been working.

elder credited with the assist

Wigan win!

44' Great block on the edge of the area by @CallumElder_, denies Sergio Aguero who went for the left footed effort. Latics holding firm so far. (0-0)

Perhaps his game time problem is that he is inconsistant, can have a blinder of a game and get noticed, then expectations are high but he cant continue this on a regular basis.  Thought he was a bit like that in the ALeague while at Adelaide. Hopefully he will still get more opportunity at his club as they dont seem to be getting any results without him in the team.  

Elder was brilliant. Great gas tank.

Mazing stuff by Wigan and Elder. That's gotta get you noticed.

Tondela currently 1-1 with Sporting in the 98th minute, Ansell still on the bench unfortunately.

99th minuute winner from ten man Sporting. Shoulda played Ansell.

At least their boutique stadium is absolutely rocking.

I know we've got a couple or RB options but with Behich, Elder, Gersbach and Meredith, surely we can play one as a RB? They're all fit a technically able. Much better than Wright or Risdon. Any examples of one playing on the opposite foot? You see it in midfield. 

How common is it at club level I wonder

Gersbach is the most two footed imo 

Wingers can be inverted to cut in and shoot on their stronger foot. Wingers also tuck in a lot more these days to let the fullback overlap. So playing a LB at RB puts them defending on their weaker foot and crossing on the overlap on their weaker foot

Behich/Gersbach/Elder/Meredith (2 on the left, 2 on the right)
Sainsbury/Wilkinson/Spiranovic/Williams (CB)

I'm not sold on Wright or Jurman, Ansell, young susnajr or any of the a league RB's

To add some versatility to the 8 defenders...
Williams can also play as a DM
Gersbach LW possibly.

Though Wright was the RB. Milligan last night was also turning into a RB back 3 at times, so he's getting some practice in for that position.

As far as LB -> RB they would need a strong right side. A player like Davidson or Meredith are heavily left sided. I thought Goodwin was versatile enough.

Rhys Williams still not a shout for RB? Used to play there and killed it a few times for the socceroos playing there

Davidson is one of the most one footed players' I've ever seen.
