A sideways move?

Fuck me...

Folami finishing from the midst of three defenders to make goal number four of eight in Ipswich U23's thrashing of Hull: https://twitter.com/Official_ITFC/status/1031882714704736257?s=19

Susnjar starting.  Full match, 1-0 win.

So many European managers have failed in Asia. Nothing really new. No one expected his team would perform.

Imagine not being able to form a team of players you 'knew' could challenge for a title.

Pretty much pissing in the win, or wearing a blind fold. A lot of unknowns. 

Williams vs Irvine. Both starting. Wright still out but Luongo starts.

McGowan starting. Inman bench.

Sainsbury hasn't made the trip to Belarus. Obviously got some fitness to build. Gotta be patient with him and Arzani. I'm glad he knows people at PSV. Once fit, he could have a horror debut and get shafted. PSV will give him more of a chance. 

Degenek starting. Really need to avoid conceding. Europa league group stage guaranteed anyway.

Early goal Borisov 

Irvine scores. 1:1!

Just noticed Czech league is 11th in Europe ahead of Switzerland  Netherlands, Greece and Austria. Is that why Plzen got the direct group spot? They've done well in Europe lately. Netherlands and Switzerland have dropped of just a little. 

Dougall starting. He's in a yellow but they're up 2:0. Sadly I think he'll be overlooked for Brillante. We're still top in CM but his RB experience would add more versatility. 

2:1 PSV now. Dream situation for them currently. 

Two goals for Irvine, winning 2-3 with five minutes to go. Williams off after 56 minutes. New York Stadium is a confusing name.

Luongo got 60 minutes, QPR about to lose 0-2.

QPR down 3:0 at home. Luongo appears flat. I think he's on who can get very moody an disinterested. We saw it at the confed cup. Horrible display. I reckon the world cup disappointment added by a useless Maclaren at QPR has dragged him down. Of course he's got to lift himself but we see players dragged down all too much by their set up. QPR appear toxic currently. 

2:2 late in Belarus. PSV now at risk with a shit 1:0 home defeat. Always tricky return legs those. 

Ding dong. 3:2 PSV 89min.

Astounds me he keeps being given managerial gigs tbh. He's useless.

0-0 in Belgrade. Cagey affair, Degenek was solid. All to play for in Salzburg.

Some very composed finishing from Irvine there 👌

What a lost case QPR have become. Rabble. Opportunism at its best. Club got any coin left  ?

I think they do but FFP has screwed them over and now they have a Jan transfer ban.

Bloke is 189cm tall and can clearly finish. I've posited this before, but we could do worse than trying him up front for the Socceroos.

Looking at Hull forums there are many talking about relegation even with this win as Rotherham is a very weak side. Good thing Irvine does well in teams that suck

Can press well too getting turnovers in advanced positions

So APOEL have signed another Winger, It looks as though they have at least 7 out and out wingers plus another 5 or so attacking mids, really uncertain with how things currently stand for Tommy there. It'd be good to see him go out on loan to another Cypriot club, and really have a stand-out season.

Reckon he's more suited for the Asian Cup qualifiers. I'd argue that. 

i'd be ok with him up front for the the NT.  i dont think he is versatile enough as a #10 and he doesnt seem to do the leg work to be a box to box #8 or #6.  

if you sat him next to a play maker #10 in the front of a middle triangle in front of a solid #6 screener i think he would be best suited.  it would have to be millsy, jedi or luongo a the #6.

what about alongside Maclaren? both got good engines.. Jackson can get to those headers... etc. then u can play a diamond midfield and use fullbacks for width.. whether that allows the freedom for Azani im not sure... but pressing from the front would be a big asset.. Mooy could be pushed to a wider midfield role and luongo at the base? Either way im keen to see what Arnie does.
