If that's a back 5 and those lads are starting in that back 5 then I don't want JOS for a second. I even less than I did before.

Jeez I didnt even think of Coleman center back. Duffy and Coleman there when we have have O'Brien yet to be capped.... and a back 5 again. Hope for learning from previous 2 games fading!Quote:

If we were going 3 at the back would it not make more sense to have Scales on left side, O'Brien on right and O'Shea in middle?Quote:

Way more balanced and pace. I'd have O'Shea on the right and O'Brien in the middle. If he felt he had to play Duffy, then Scales and O'Shea are surely the two he puts in there? Its so cack-handed with Coleman in there.
Honestly couldn't care if Hungary batter us after seeing that starting XI. Coleman and Duffy starting CB, can we sack JOS as interim before the game starts.
I thought friendlies were for giving players a chance. We have O'Brien and Scales on the bench? They are 23 and 25 years old, they're not kids. And they're in form. Just play them ffs.
Our midfield and forwards are pretty good. Looking forward to see if Azaz can offer us something different. Smallbone in good form for Southampton so he could also give us bit of creativity. We are desperately lack pace in the team though.Quote:

I think we just have to take the positives: Azaz and Szmodics is interesting in attack, as is Idah's opportunity to carry forward his Celtic form. Let's see how it works out.Quote:

Very disappointed O'Brien isn't starting.
Duffy already having a mare it feels.
Duffy looks well off the pace early on,fortunate with a back pass he didn’t even look when playing and fortunate Nego made a hash of the finish there…
Lovely cross from Smallbone…
Does that goal count for Idah given that the guy marking him only plays in Cyprus?
Super cross and finish
They couldn't have given him and Idah more room had they tried!Quote:

Edit - no. No we can't. Bugger that anyway
Was he in Cyprus at the time?Quote:
