not sure why he brought him on wasn't the game for it, been Tommy's issue sometimes he is too weak on the ball and out of nothing they can counter.

Fans livid with coach for subbing as such. Bit of a slip or stumble there and Rogic pulling out of the jump. Given it was in the centre circle I guess he had enough faith others would handle the ensuing play.

Rogic has demonstrated some good ground tackling at times but I always fear he's going to snap a leg when going into it.

Mooy converts a penalty early on. No Hrustic. Reports were he could return from an injury absence. Little talk of a move.

England basically postponed in the lower leagues today. A lot off.

Souttar out after a minor knock. Stoke fans saying that his disguise to move away.
Lyden straight into Orient squad. Burgess starts with Luongo on the bench. No Iredale today but Jones is back for Bolton.

Sparta Prague beat Stuttgart 2:0 in a practice game with Kuol getting the final 5min and Mabil the entire second half. 

Alou not even on the bench overnight, if he doesn't sort a loan move its another wasted season. Not sure why these german clubs love destroying aussie careers. Italiano has been over there for like 4 years now and he's no where near the first team.

Yeah I really don't get what Stuttgart are waiting for. The iron was much hotter a year ago. It's basically player hoarding with the hope of a maximum profit. I'd rather Kuol go the path of a club that wants to play him regularly knowing full well he'll probably move on higher up in a few years. 

All hindsight Italiano should've stayed and built 4 seasons at Perth. These players don't turn into much. Laws, Pasquali are the same.

yeah any player that went to a bundesliga club and spent 4 years playing at 3rd or 4th division ends up much weaker than similar quality players that spend 4 years in the a league then move overseas

Yep and every time an A-League player signs directly for a Bundesliga club we all say the same thing, as we all know what happens time and time again.

But every time, the player thinks that they are the exception. The player never looks at the evidence of the long list of failed moves before him. “I’m different!” they all tell themselves.

On football manager after a player turns 18 game time becomes much more important than training for development which probably makes a lot of sense.

Two assists for Teague a fortnight ago. Started also just a few days back. That's 5 starts in a row now for the U23. First team on tonight but I doubt he'll get in.

Other keeper doesn't look pleased. Perhaps the coach had been saying such a thing would be coming but he doesn't appear to have had a bad season.

AZ score very early and they're now in 2nd. Ajax have drawn the last 5. Very open league this season. Maty comes well to claim and tricky cross. Hang on, penalty Sittard. A tangle between the defender and an attacker on the pen spot sees the ref give it. Burak goes the other way and it's 1:1

3:0 for Hearts. No time for Kuol but a bit for Atkinson at the end. Iredale subbed on at the end in a 3:2 win for Wiesbaden. Karacic started in a loss. Kalik scored for Hadjuk Split. Would take Kalik over Hrustic currently.

Hrustic to have ankle surgery. Bit like Juric insisting on being at the world cup while injured and is a wasted spot.

He has plenty of quality, just not enough ticker to go with it.

Can’T believe the comments about Hrustic. Was arguably our best player during qualifying, scored critical goals including one against UAE that basically saved our WC campaign. Plays at a higher level than anyone and first Aussie to achieve Europa Cup glory.

Was shite at World Cup in limited minutes but hard to excel in garbage minutes and on one leg.

Hrustic has a certain passion but his arrogance or more so lack of team play gets in the way. I really like his attitude in the toess conference. We need more of that. He did a lot to get us there. Maybe it went to his head. I don't know. I trust Arnold to clarify everything.

I think his absence actually gives us fewer selection headaches on formation and combination.
