Alou scored last night.

Great run and beautiful finish from AK.

He should have shirt number 47.

AK47 from Sudan? Maybe not?

 

[Allreet?]

In any case, we can start calling him Kalashnikov Kuol.

Better than Eastern Spotted...

Kye will be fine defensively but won’t offer the go forward capability of Behich, Bos or even Farrell. He’ll get panned for the performance and it will be because Arnold is asking him to be something he’s not.

I suspect you are right - but I do remember Monty trying him on the left years ago in the Academy and pushing him to get forward.

He was terrible IIRC

Wasn’t great when he did it in the A league so I can’t imagine before in the academy went a whole lot better. He’s a solid CB but doesn’t have that attacking instinct you need to see in a wide defender now.

Having listened to Arnie's presser it sounds like the Mexican RW is a concern and that may be why he is trying him at LB and not expecting him to push forward.

If you look at it as how you might set up against other high level opponents then it potentially makes sense. It’s not like Behich can get forward a whole lot if we’re playing the likes or France or even the Saudis and Japan in regional qualifying. But then you’d expect to see other changes in the way we move the ball around so we’ll see if that eventuates.

Hearts: Jambos star has seen his value soar to £1.1m

A signing made by Robbie Neilson is now worth £1.1m and could make the club a solid profit.

Interesting. Especially when a quick look at the Hearts forum shows them absolutely savaging Rowles over the last few weeks - it's as though the journalist is a mate of Kye's and wrote the article specifically to counter the exact accusations of Hearts fans. Can't win defensive headers - gets pushed off the ball too easily - can't play a forward pass with any accuracy.

The article would also have been better if he'd not referred to the Wallabies. I'm sure the Wallabies are a perfectly good team but making the last 16 at Qatar would have raised a few eyebrows.

I believe the Wallabies do leak in defence so maybe Kye would be welcome.

Hearts supporters are idiots.

You don't have to be a genius to work out that their ultra defensive structures they have set up with since mid year is where the issues are coming from. It's why Garang had little to no help, there was little to no movement from the midfield.

I watched all the minutes he played. He made constant runs and never got the ball. It's as though they didn't like him. They certainly didn't deserve him.
