Mark is clueless when it comes to football outside of the English Premier League and his comment about Rogic and not playing 90 minutes  for Australia the way he does at Celtic proves that theory, he has maybe played 8 full 90 minute games in the last 2 years and is quite rightly copping some flack for it. He came out in September 2019 and said it was the wrong move for Arzani- this was in hindsight after his injury, so does he think he's some sort of future teller by stating the obvious? Him saying the Dutch League would be better is also a bit of a misconception as how many aussies have went there and moved onto bigger things in the past decade? Goodwin-nope, Rojas- nope, Babalj- nope, Behich- nope, Juric, nope, De Silva nope, Mauk nope, Oar nope, Zullo nope. Sainsbury nope, Rukavytsya nope.  Davidson is the only one from memory who caught the eye of bigger leagues.

Where Arzani would be better suited is anyones guess?! Sure hasn’t worked out at celtic so Europe maybe better? might do better in Europe than many other Aussies before him cos he definitely has some slick attacking skills

Trying to google more info on our latest Young Socceroos training camp (couldnt find anything) but found these two interesting articles:

Schwarzer wants Rogic to move to Bundesliga abd says Arzani shoud never have gone to Celtic:
https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/mark-schwarzer-issues-scathing-celtic-21572865

Huddersfield have signed another young Aussie keeper: https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/huddersfield-town-sign-youth-international-goalkeeper-1995925

Great find with Bilokapic. Really positive to have so many young keepers in English academies. Chapman, Maynard Brewer, Skerry, Cogman, Calderbank Park.

I agree it's guess work, but his suggestion of the dutch league is strange considering past history suggests it's not the best place to go for Aussies- sure he could break that mould but from his comments on the article (Rogic 90 mins lol) it seems Mark Schwarzer doesn't know a lot about football outside of England, apart from watching highlight packages of the Champions League/Europa League games due to his role at Optus. Still feel like him staying in the UK would be the best option for him if he wants to follow his pl dream, mid-table to bottom Championship clubs would surely be interested and willing to give him game time.

Arzani should start getting game time with Celtic soon as the league will be wrapped up in the next 2-3 games and he is playing week in week out for the reserves again after his injury. Wouldn't look past the idea of him staying in the spfl and getting proper game time with Hearts if he can't find a Championship club, considering Bozanic and Garuccio are there and another Man City loanee Meshino bought from Gamba Osaka has been doing well (that's if they don't get relegated lol). NAC Brada is another club City Football Group work with but like I say history isn't on his side. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-news-latest-hearts-16842192 

Of course the last option is back to the A-League with City, although it maybe a step backwards it would surely benefit him getting 1 full season under his belt and start registering goals and assists to his name on a consistent basis. I think it's safe to assume Man City have already planned out his next move considering they have over 40 youth players to manage.

Oh and Brad Jones, with his Feynoord form got back into the Socceroos squad at the tail end of his career.

Yep 👍 you’re probably right that he will stay in SPL or go to Championship - like Mooy, if Arzani ever makes EPL it will probably take him years of hard work first

Holland starting, no Behich


By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

Rogic starting
LASK leading 3-1 on aggregate with an away goal. Decent stuff so far from Holland.

90 for Holland.  Great result but they've lost two defenders to suspension.

Man Behich is getting less time here than at PSV. What a shocking couple of moves. 

Dude hasn’t been a regular starter for 2 years now.

2 bloody years. I imagine he'd have very intensive training amongst those players but he doesn't have the complete match fitness.

Rogic heavily involved defensively so far. He's in the hole but no one has passed it to him. All long or up the sides. He's got two en near him often.

Hey dude you are pretty good at putting down any poster that isn't drinking the Celtic flavoured coolaid but surely you aren't suggesting that you know more about professional football than a guy with Schwarzers resume. That would just be beyond ridiculous or seriously egostistical. Find his playing history below and when you get time you can chuck up your resume and we can see how it compares.

Good half from Rogic. I'm livid how often he makes himself available but gets ignored. He's ready to use his left peg and they pass out wide. Less space than in SPL but still enough to get a shot away.

Finally Rogic gets the chance to shoot. He doesn't quite get to it and it's along the ground for the keeper to save. Frustrating that but he's worked immensely hard tonight.

Rogic wins two tackles and taps it on. He's been as good in defence as attack.

How don't Celtic score? A volley goes across for Rogic to hit it first time but it's cleared off the line and Griffiths can't seem to put it in either.

2:1 Copenhagen. That's it then. A to Rogic on halfway is chested down while losing balance and Copenhagen go all the way to score. Still had 7 men behind the ball but that's bitter for Rogic.

Unfortunately just a passenger like the other 10 players, although it was his poor touch that caused the 2nd. Lennon has a centre back playing right back, a centre back who's played 6 games this season, Rogic not match fit (even to his standard), sure we have injuries but his tactics have been crap- never looked like scoring until the penalty. Typical Lennon result tbh, beat the likes of Lazio and Rennes but can't beat Copenhagen

I don't get why Celtic essentially played European handball for so long early on. Rogic was in a decent position multiple times but they never cut it back. 

I don't get the defence either. They were shocking. Elyonoussi was lively despite little result and probably should've stayed on. Rogic did a lot more in defence than normal and made a number of go passes. Celtic were forever complacent in front of goal tonight. The true Celtic fans on here will be pretty disappointed.

Going from the Roar to the Emirates. Interesting career he's had.
