No Hrustić, no occasion
By Dan Colasimone
The dangerous information in that staff sheet is not any Ajdin Hrustić. He is our greatest participant at current and the important thing to unlocking opposition defences. With him within the midfield, there’s actually good steadiness, with Irvine doing the operating and Mooy beginning off strikes from deep.
The concept all of us assumed was to relaxation Hrustić towards France in order that he was prepared for the subsequent two video games – however alas he isn’t within the beginning XI right here.
Hopefully he is match sufficient to enter the fray in some unspecified time in the future. If the match is shut with half-hour to go, he could possibly be the gamebreaker.
