yep not even making the bench. Same process with triantis and balard right?

I suppose he likes to play them after a few starts
 
Segecic probably not what Popovic is looking for all he'll just brush it off. Hopefully he's got some muscle soreness or something.

Rowles set up to fail at wing back. Iredale travels all that way to just train. He was never needed for a match.

That is a fair point. He's probably had proper discussions that you're not just going to walk into the 11. Velupillay had the advantage of working with Popovic before.

This seems like a mistake from Popa, maybe he hasn't trained as well as they wanted. Disappointing nonetheless.
I didn't expect Toure to start given the fitness concerns. Might see Botic after 60 minutes.

yeah robbo and triantis were both angry to not make the bench when they both came, let's hope we don't see the same with segacic
 
Really??

5 defenders?? How does Milanovic not start?? How does Segacic not even make the bench ??
yeah bench is a worry, until sega gets game time there is always a chance we get another triantis or another robbo

but apart from left back there is a sense to the xi. I don't think its a good idea to play sega and irankunda in the same front 3 until they improve off the ball
 
Any news if Segecic event travelled to NZ? Big game on weekend but you've got jobs to do all over.

Yeah that’s a point. Maybe popa had seen enough, given him some feedback and let him get back to clubland to work on that feedback asap.
 
Segecic gone back to Europe, was on facebook. He might get a run when the roos play against the USA and Canada.
Happens and as long as they're on good terms these arrangements can occur. Portsmouth will be glad and Segecic hwdllas had a taste. He's not locked in though.... Very precarious situation.

Irankunda has improved dramatiacally off the ball since grasshopper and now in Watford he has been picking the ball up from the 18 yard box and helping out his defence consistently at Watford.

agreed but in possession still needs improving, bottom 10% for touches per 90. Needs to be better at finding space
but like segacic he doesnt need a lot of touches to be effective!

I can see both Silvera and Bos coming on. question will be whether they come on as wing backs or wingers this time.

Hopefully.
I feel I'm the most relaxed about players doing their time, every player being his own case etc. Still looks an odd decision on paper. Compared to Milanovic, playing a higher level, similar minutes.
