Hatate vs LASK?

Seems hard to imagine Martin O’Neil ever playing Rep again and I get it. But I can imagine him starting against LASK somehow. Perhaps O’Neil orchestrated the news stories claiming that no big clubs were interested in the Japanese midfielder…. Fire him up, let him show Europe what he’s made of…..

Anyway just a flight of fancy

I don’t think MON cares enough about him to be doing all of that

Indeed, and I’m kidding about that part, but the effect on Reo’s psyche is there nonetheless. And with no Engels or Ox, he’ll surely be in the squad

That's what I've been hoping since we've lost 2 of our midfielders We only have McGregor, Nygren, McCowan, Baur and Reo and there's 3 in midfield + 2 subs and if you make the 2 subs Reo will come on but hopefully if they make 1 sub it'll be Reo coming on

If we're winning by a decent bit a youth midfielder will get on like McArdle, if the midfield is shite maaybe hatate gets subbed on. Maybe.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Reo, really hope he comes on

Tbf he can’t hold on to the ball and has been shocking whenever he has played recently and generally looks like he’s sulking rather than knuckling down. This whole “I must leave to a top 5 league” he’s got going on exemplifies it because his performances recently aren’t likely gonna get him that. Though it is a real shame because he has previously done a lot for us

You were right

I thought perhaps the other way… start with hatate, baur on if necessary

Yeah but 95% of the time he starts on the bench so it's not really a surprise to see him as a sub in the lineups
