With the amount of cup and league games think its definitely worth him staying put at stoke.  3 games 3 clean sheets for him.   Awesome news

Oldham lost 3-2 but apparently Blackwood did well

Muscat lost again , 2-0 , Cacace started. I know he’s a kiwi .

Julian Schwarzer is back with Fulham, their U23s

Stoke fans raving about Souttar’s performance, they say he should start every game from here on in. 

Yep Stoke Twitter has been absolutely frothing over Souttar. Top stuff. 

Utrecht at 10:30 AEST

Davidson, O'Neill, Mahazi, Chapman, Ansell all absent.

Caleb Watts played 15 mins for Southampton’s U23s in a 2-2 draw 

Not sure if mentioned by Jacob Italiano scored twice for Gladbach’s u23 side over night.

The kid is a proper player.

Yeah very annoying not knowing what's happening over there. Davidson started pretty well over there, but hasn't been seen in months & O'Neill started something like 8 games straight & hasn't been seen for nearly 2 months?!!!

Arzani on bench

Beat me to it. 

Big big come from behind 3-1 win for Ange over Reysol. Marinos have won 4 in a row and into 5th on the table.

Yep Kerk seems set to leave. Interest strongest from Leeds but also from Cagliari and Udinese. Great news from Arzani

A very Ange like win, not scoring their first goal until late in the game then just seemingly powering over the top of the opposition. I didn’t watch it but we’ve all seen Ange teams do this late in games before. Only the side coming first On the table has scored more goals but YFM’s defence must be ordinary because they have conceded a lot of goals as well. 

Ange doesnt care about defence. Even in title winning season last year it was the same. They will get better as conditions have cooled down in Japan heading into Autumn with their high press but they have so many games to play. A top three ACL spot would be nice.

Rough debut for Sainsbury. 

Arzani on. Utrecht lead 2:1.

Haha you beat me to it by about a minute

Arzani assist. 3:1!

Good corner whipped in by Arzani, teammate scores a pretty easy header. Bad man-marking.

Had to smile yesterday seeing a greyhound with your user name. Didn't win me anything unfortunately. 

😂 

What’s his speed and movement like? God willing it’s still there post “the Ligament Injury Which Shall Not Be Named”

Surely some video footage will be available by tomorrow. The Dutch upload highlights fairly quickly. 

Club highlights dont come out till Monday apparently. It was a good typical Arzani whipping cross straight to his teammate to score. Took on a defenders and almost beat them. First sub again which is a good sign.

His next match is at 4am Sydney time 😭

I found a stream on Facebook and managed to catch the game from just before Arzani came on. He did some good things. Some nice quick passes and always tried to make positive attacking plays. He did one excellent run where he tackled a guy in the near the edge of the Utrecht 18 yard box and then burst forward with the ball and dribbled up the field to the other box and put a through ball to Kerk, who then put a bad cross in.
Overall, he was very positive and was surprisingly good at defending too. He did 2 or 3 tackles where he chased a man down and won it off him. 
The only other interesting thing I noticed was that a lot of his teammates couldn’t seem to read his quick 1-2 passes. It was like he was thinking further ahead than them and then they’d get caught with the ball and wouldn’t be able to lay it back to him. Maybe that will improve the more he plays. 

OFI Crete v Atromitos: 
Giannou on the bench for Crete
A certain Georgopoulos on the bench for Atromitos, previously at Dandenong.  Any good? Or is this a case of mistaken identify?

Jeggo came on at halftime for Aris.
