Let’s hope baturina pulls a play like bust modric
jaga, nedaj te se
Again with this Orsic talk. Oh boy.
🤦
When he cuts in and bombs one into the top corner, I want to see an apology from you.
U got it
If you divided the Orsic resultant impact versus the played career minutes, I would vote for him as the top Croatian player ever. No apology for my opinion.
sir, if this is a cry for help good. your daytime drinking might be getting out of hand
lol …….nice! ….
Oršić created a chance for Pafos out of nothing that eventually hit the post. Almost really turned the tables on Chelsea. He’s still very fast and playing with all these Brazilians on Pafos seems to be good for his dribbling. With Perišić, Oršić, Marco Pašalić and Domagoj Bradarić all in form, the winger situation is looking good.
Ditto………
Dobro je kada dobri ljudi uspiju. Bog blagoslovio Mislava Oršića.
Don’t forget that Jagušić and Ivanović can play the wing as well.
Baturina is another one who has (kind of) played there this season for Como, in more of a left-sided Attacking Midfielder role (but really making some wide runs, like a winger).
Jagušić and Baturina are in elite form, are hungry, and probably want to show their stuff on the World stage.
Ivanović still has four months to get more minutes at Benfica and show that he deserves time for the National Team as well.
Baturina was left for dead, and many here made fun of him for it…now he’s back with a vengeance. Same could happen for Ivanović.
Ivanovic fortunes could change real soon for Benfica LW Schjelderup leaves this window (Parma, Brugge, West Ham rumours (if Tttenham buy LW Summerville from West Ham, Schjelderup could be his replacement) – Schjelderup actually started yesterday vs Juventus – but not happy w playing time – Franjo could then slot in on the “LW”
Yeah, it’s really looking good. Ivanović is a fighter, like Rebić but smarter. Baturina is a very skilled player. Croatia has depth up front.
Dobro je kad dobri ljudi uspiju. Bog blagoslovio Petra Sučića.
More injury-news
Jack the Lad Grealish broken foot – season done (had 33% chance of making England squad)
Lawrence Shankland – leading goal scorer in Scotland this year at Hearts – hamstring out 6-8 weeks
Now Lucas Bergvall – out 3 months (Sweden are missing their best 2 midfielders for their PO in March)
Admittedly i have been out of the loop for a little. Didn’t realize stanisic is injured again. this guy is a bandaid what is his deal?
He likes to get injured annually.
But this time, it looks like we’re lucky as he isn’t expected to be out too long and will be back in time to be game fit for the World Cup.
JUNE FRIENDLIES CONFIRMED. PLAYING BELGIUM IN RIJEKA THEN SLOVENIA IN VARAZDIN.
