Should put Vukovic in goal and let Ryan play outfield. Steady feet he has. 

God Maty! Anyone just seeing that? He goes to hurl the ball and slams it into the ground. It bounces diagonally behind him and he rushes to tackle the oncoming Leicester player. Redeemed himself but that could've been disaterous. One of this keeper gaffes 

Is it the better players? The shirt cut? Mooy looks so sleek and fit for Brighton. For Australia his legs can seem like cement at times. I guess those hot conditions and bad pitches don't help. Jordan, Kuwait and Taiwan weren't exactly bowling greens. Has to be his sharper team mates too. 

Yep, was an awkward error from Maty. Luckily he recovered pretty quickly with some smart thinking. 

FT: 0-0

If you’d have offered me a point away to Leicester before the match I would have taken it every day of the week.

The only real moment of note in the match though was Maupay’s missed penalty, so you do wonder what could have been.

Either way, 4 points from their opening 2 games against Arsenal and Leicester is an unbelievable result and Brighton are now set up nicely to avoid the drop. 

0:0. Massive away point for Brighton and clean sheet for Maty. 

Ah yes! Seems ages ago earlier on in the game but that penalty miss is big. 

Will check the fixtures out and see what's coming up. They've already done some heavy lifting early on. West Ham are a blunder.

Milislav Popovic released from his second division Austrian team. Shame it didnt work out for him - I think he did his knee really early on and was only back at fitness just before Covid.

Still only 23 and he was impressive for the Olyroos a few years back. Wonder if he will try and stay in Europe - could be a good pick up for an A-League side.

3-1 win for Haifa.  Sainsbury conceded a penalty and Ruka probably should've been awarded one.

If he can’t make it in the Austrian 2nd Div there’s not much hope for him. 

Aye give him a trial different manager team scenario you might get a new player 

Gulum scored in a 3-1 win.

“Southend United have released five players including player-coach and ex-Australia international Mark Milligan.”

Holland assist

Awesome! Surely he's a big chance to play for the Socceroos again - consistently plays 90 mins & Lask just played Europa league

Holland's assist at 2:44 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBIga8SLQSk

Karacic red card in the 73rd minute in a 1-1 draw, although the scoring was done by the 14th minute. Lokomotiva remaining in a UCL position in 2nd behind Dinamo.

Milligan is the embodiment of what happens when a player hangs on too long. 

I get your point but he's only 34 and a defender. A few years of professional football still left if he wants them.

O'Neill starting
Full match, 2-0 win. Nice little pass in the buildup for the second goal.

Aiden O’Neill’s contact has been extended again at Burnley. I figured 2 years loaned out to Australia, they may have called it quits,...

Gersbach bench, no Amini

Agree that his decline has been unusually precipitous. Let go by a relegated 3rd division club... It ain't pretty.

Interesting one. He played EPL 3-4 years ago. If not a return to England soon, then when?

Smith bench

Kalik played a full match against Rijeka
Chapman came off the bench for the second half in a 3-3 draw, Daejeon are sitting top of K-League 2.

Leckie and Borrello bench to end season

Leckie rounded by and 2 on 1 short corner and the square ball leads to a goal. Leckie with a full second half. Borrello not on yet. 

Decent bit of involvement from Leckie for their goal late in the second half. Shame about Borrello, needs to look elsewhere.
Elder, Jeggo started

Robben has come out of retirement to sign for Groningen. Could be an issue for Hrustic.
