Pushing it a bit though, getting into Brno for 16:45 for a 7pm kick off...

Guessing a lot of people prioritised Milan, with people not willing or unable to afford Hapoel, and people not thinking they had a chance of getting tickets for Prague, so haven't sorted travel which is now very expensive. You're always going to get 4/500 "hardcore" who will go wherever we play and fair play to them.

Obviously depends if they're in league form or international form. Players aren't helped by such stale slow football. If you take the individual players, then probably the majority. Stones will be a brilliant CB, but he's nowhere neat the finish article yet. CM is a real problem position for England, we're terrible in there.

-----------Forster Martina Fonte VVD (Targett) Yoshida -----------Romeu--------------- --------Davis-Hojbjerg--------- Redmond--Tadic------Austin Boufal on for Redmond or Tadic with half hour to play. Hopefully Targett and Martina make it through! What the chances of Bertrand back for Inter away?!

Absolute top player, as others have said, if he could score 10+ a season he'd be up there with Gerrard and Lampard. Unfortunately his shooting lets him down, but he links the play so well. Has had a bit of a poor start of the season by his standards but its a new position for him, he loves getting in those gaps between defence and DM of the oppo. One of the first teams on the team sheet.

Indeed!!

Bought as part of the bundle, and not got them yet, seems they're being sent out at the moment I would guess.

Yeah I got that bit, but what's the logic behind having a big sign in the stand of him?

4 goals and 6 assists in Serbias last 10 goals!

Out of interest, what was the bloke with the cash note all about?

Won me around - changing the system from a rigid diamond and strikers playing LM and RM, to a fluid front three with our strikers occasionally getting in the box has helped massively....

Which I'm sure they will have a number of in the 6500...someone I know just put spaces in the passport section and it was accepted....

Don't think Inter will be included in that, probably just be STH's who went to Hapoel and Prague.

He's a good player, who causes the oppo problems, but he is not a striker. Not really a problem if we were only playing 1 up top, but as long as someone is scoring then I don't mind. Have a feeling he'll be the one making way for Boufal when fit...which must be soon?!

-----------Forster Cedric Fonte VVD Bertrand -----------Romeu------------ ------Hojbjerg-Davis-------- -Redmond-Tadic--Austin

Whole team wasn't great but specifically Long, Martina, Clasie and Hesketh had shockers. Long is really struggling in this system, however last night, he wasn't even doing his usual hassling and hurrying. Whether that's team instruction not to press i'm not sure, but he looks absolutely terrible at the moment. He desperately needs a goal. We got a point away from home in a difficult game, agree with John Boy Saint too. The experience will help us, Inter away next, hopefully we'll stick in a better performance at the San Siro.

Height in midfield slightly concerns me, anyone know how big their midfield is?

just the middle blue tier now I think - might be the top two tiers.

Certainly not writing him off, he's got a lot of potential, just you can't say he was brilliant before his injury, as he barely played a game. Played very well vs Arsenal and Man Utd, however pretty awful in a few others. Time will tell...

He was never great anyway, was always fourth choice CB.

He said the other day he was playing "on friday" im not sure which friday though...

It's changed though hasn't it, at the start of the season he was basically playing as a wide midfielder, in the last 2 week, we've started playing way more fluid with Austin playing more centrally even if he's starting wider. The fluidity is making it very hard to track runners so the system is working at the moment. I just worry when we play against a team with very attacking full backs, as it'll push our two strikers playing as wing backs essentially.
