Mind you, Genreau can't get a look in as a midfielder despite playing for a team top of ligue 2. It seems we are much better at producing players in some positions than others

Fantastic stats mate! Funny you didn’t mention how four of those six goals were against AFC heavyweights Chinese Taipei. 

Agree that compared to generations gone by he’s far from the best striker but as things stand I genuinely think he’s the best striker we have (obviously when fit). 

Anthony Kalik another full game for Gorica overnight.

He's only scored 1 in 12 for Osaka though, is in and out of the squad and has struggled with injuries - no one is saying he isn't a good player but basically he's completely out of form and has fitness issues. 

In top form he offers a good goal threat, maybe not as much as McLaren but not far off, albeit with more holdup play and better linking.

If you watch Taggart off the the ball he did a lot of good work leading to goals. The flick in transition for the Boyle goal against China, the determined push to get the ball to assist Mabil. He could've just given up. The soft shot (reverse angle shows it was bloody tight) which thankfully led to Boyle scoring against Oman. 

His link up play in the other games was decent. A good hour Japan away hitting the post unluckily. Think the Boyle, Taggart combination was the strongest of the campaign and once that fell away among other problems it all fell apart. 

I wish he actually scored more but his involvement in goals and movement to create chances is more than Maclaren has ever done. 

boyle taggart and mabil looked our strongest, though tillio is knocking the door down

Atkinson starting for Hearts in ~40min in the Scottish Cup semi final vs Hibs. It's on Kayo for wanting to catch it.

And rightly/gladly so. Even yesterday Tilio on the ball has the bit more and can get out of tight spaces albeit ball was also lost. In moments where it works out it's that little extra. True his loss did lead to the Thai goal. It was a good experience for the young players in a challenging environment. 

To that front 3. The campaign peaked at the Hrustic goal in Japan and that one counter where we stuffed it but it felt they were going for the win. From there it was all downhill. 

Iredale starting for Wiesbaden. Down early. 

Iredale starting
Irvine too. Borrello bench.

Iredale with a somewhat assist. He's latched onto a ball which the charging keeper has seen deflect of him for another attacker to slot away. 

St Pauli got pipped by Sandhausen at the death and it ended a draw. A massive two point loss that in a very tight promotion race. 

Looks like Irvine had a good game going by his FotMob score?

Genreau off the bench in a 2-0 win. Pretty much guaranteed promotion now. 

Brilliant. Hope is that they don't bring in too many midfield upgrades to avoid the drop. Heaven forbid a new coach after an early stutter. See how he goes. 

Gersbach starting for Grenoble 

Gersbach starting. Italiano last 14min. 

Luongo out with illness apparently. 

One was against Jordan too, here's a stat you will like. When he started against Oman and China we won those games away from home, when he's not in the squad we drew against both of them. Imagine if we had him at home? Weird we started losing without him... its like he makes intelligent runs off the ball to make space but people too dumb to see it.

Degenek subbed after 60 minutes for Columbus in MLS this morning. Don't know if he was injured or just not playing well, but he got fairly low ratings on FotMob and SofaScore.
Brad Smith not in the squad for DC United.

MLS is such a mysterious league to me. On paper the standard has become quite impressive but the football is frequently awful, way below what you would expect considering who they buy. Watched it for years living in the usa including recently

Nathan Atkinson playing for hearts Scottish cup final. That’s an Aussie yeah? 

I don't mind the MLS as a neutral 

Goal Duke. Mauk starting. 

Oh wow. Two goals against mid-tier AFC countries. 

He's been injured for most of his time in Japan. He's been good for us in the qualifying games before he got injured

Wiesbaden highlights. Iredale involved up top. Wish he'd gotten to that square ball. He used his body well for the shot in the second half. Interesting is his reaction to goals and missed chances is always some strong kind of emotion. Seems the determined and even a bit of the good greedy type. 

Celtic Rangers 0-0 half time. Rogic starting.  very entertaining game so far very end to end

Hrustic starting for the first time in a while.
