Just a note the starting CB got a red last weekend leading to JRB starting. Whether he keeps the spot after one game remains to be seen.

Quite a spacious game in Hannover which is perfect for Borrello. These caps against bus parking teams doesn't give him the room. He's better in the open running rather than other types who can get out of tight spots.

they're chemistry is great already, how they don't get picked is insane - playing together week in week out will really improve the socceroos imo.

Devlin should have played for melbourne victory.
Since he played for wellington pheonix he is underestimated by aussie fans

they must count cup games lol kinda weird, quote from the SPFL website. 

"The Australian impressed on his Hearts debut as Robbie Neilson's side enjoyed a comfortable day out in the Scottish Cup, defeating Auchinleck Talbot 5-0. Atkinson got himself an assist with a late cross for Alex Cochrane."

How does a guy who plays his first game overseas gets in team of the week cant get in socceroos team? lol jesus christ

Celtic win 2-1, with Hearts finishing the game strongly. Atkinson played about 70 minutes and got the highest FotMob rating for his team with 7.9. That’s on a losing team and having come on as an early sub. Apparently l, he completed the most dribbles, most tackles and won the most duels in the match across both teams.

Yep I watched the game this morning. Atkinson looked decent without being spectacular. On the other hand I wasn’t impressed at all by devlin. Everyone saying he should be in the roo’s squad. I think Connor metcalfe is a better player than him.

This was one of the few games I haven’t been able to watch, but from what I saw, Devlin got a low rating. That being said, he has been quite good in a number of games. I think, for me, he just needs to work on consistency. He seems to be excellent 4/5 games.

Caleb watts just confirmed on Twitter he’s out for the rest of the season with the injury. OS Aussie curse strikes again 

Thought he was going on loan to Crawley as per sky sports news

Europe is funding the war not Chelsea football club

Atkinson made a big mistake in the first half which was punished by Hatate but apart from that it seems like he went alright.


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

Devlin had a ordinary game the last time they played Celtic as well, and I don't think he had a great game against Rangers either. He seems to dive in and get beaten every time & reading the comments on the Hearts forum his passing and control were shite. 
I like Cammy, but I agree, there's better CDMs to pick from - Dougall, Jeggo, Stensness - probably rate Thurgate over him as well TBH

He had a pass intercepted by Hatate on the halfway line & nobody shut him down. Absolute balltearer of a shot, so you can't really blame him for that. Like you said, he played really well apart from that and hearts fans are happy with him

He’s starting the match…so I fail to see how he “isn’t even good enough” for that league?
