Souttar has plenty of runs on the board. If fit, he gets selected. Simple.

I'd say Degenek's post would be in relation to his club.

No way Degenek isn't in the 55-man squad and the 26 man squad would be no where near named.

Degenek's post is surely club related. He's too professional to do this about Popovic when the competition for spots is still very open if injuries start happened.

I don't think Popovic would even have phones raising selection concerns. Very tight but Degenek may just sneak in.

Burgess souttar circati herrington geria and rowles all seem like licks to me, trewin probably is too

That makes it tricky to fit him

I'd say they're the six. Degenek needs to get past Geria or Rowles, which aint easy if he's not playing.

The one thing in his favour is poppa seems to like him as a ccb, perhaps due to his massive frame. But i think souttar and burgess can both cover that

Agree that Degenek is not going to make the 55-player preliminary playing list if he cannot get game time whereas Jason Geria and Kye Rowles are both getting regular minutes at club level and are in relatively good form also.

To be fair Alessandro Circati can also cover the same central defender role as Harry Souttar and Cam Burgess as he's a similar height to them and has proven that he fits into Poppa's tactical system already.

Geria has recently started playing again yes, but is everyone forgetting that he wasn’t getting game time at a J2 club?! He along with Degenek should be nowhere near the squad.

There are others I'd prefer but Geria is versatile and has done fairly well in Popa's system.

The other wild card is Stesness. How does he rank? I quite frankly have no idea

when he played ay CCM he was underrated by the general fans. But he does a lot of the invisible work as CB or HM. If seems to be doing well os. Not flashy but CCM definitely missed him when he was out injured

 

[booney52]

Stensness is the sort of player who gets down and does the dirty work which is often unrecognised.He is physically tough .He is not a great passer of the ball unless his stint in Norway has improved this facet of his game.

It's rough seeing an Aussie 10 doing well yet he would prefer to play for Croatia his numbers this year are superb. He's already ahead of Rogic.

We just don't make many of these creative players.
