It didn’t work I’m afraid which is a shame as I’d like to have read it.

It's almost as if he had a poor reputation because of his mediocre record before he joined us.... Let's give crystal balls to all Saintswebbers, I say, so that we can all appear wise after the event in future.... It's simply not fair that we only have a small clutch of smart arses on here hogging all the limelight... 

 

 

P.s. talking of being a good judge of a footballer's potential...

Innit - "ooooo look at me".

Yes I agree very interesting. But the kind of sad part was that Larin scored again against Qatar, making him Canada's all time WC highest scorer, until Johnathan David got a hat trick in the same game. It is a "funny old game".

Perhaps he could hookup with the Channons when he is away from home.

I have to say i got Larin very wrong when he first signed for us and i'm big enough to admit it. He is now one of my favourite players probably just behind Scienza. What both players have in common is they are both grafters and both very humble and have taken nothing for granted.

I hope he comes back from what is already a successful World Cup for him and Canada firing on all cylinders and ready to score the goals that will make us challengers for promotion this season.

Canada v south Africa in knock out a very winnable game as south Africa are fucking shit, very lucky for them even more shit teams exist in this world cup.

Anyone know why Larin didn’t play?

Jesse Marsch might know.

Well he was completely out of sorts in the Switzerland match, looked as if he was carrying some sort of injury for most of it, hardly had a touch and was subbed after 58'. Wasn't surprised really given Canada's game plan which was based on very dynamic, attacking play.

[Stud mark of doom]

Thanks - haven’t watched the Canada games in full but obviously spotted he had scored two already (the highest scoring saint in world cups of all time!) so assumed it must be an injury.

On the bench for penalties as he’s not able to compete on the pitch with his injury.

Thats my guess, as they have no other reason not to start him.

Apart from the manager being a bit of an idiot. He didn’t start him in the first game either so no guarantees he’s carrying a slight injury
