It's 3-0 at the half, as JP and Besian have hooked up for all three goals. Idrizaj is a player I can't get a read on. He's never really impressed me, but all I've heard is praise for him. He was loaned out to Luton Town last year where he scored his first career English goal. Who knows, maybe he's our left winger of the future? If there's one thing I'm sure about though, he's definitely tough enough for the EPL.
Anyhow, Rafa is trying to get a good look at a bunch of players today and will be starting a different team the next half. The first XI were:
David Martin
Steve Finnan
Gabriel Paletta
Jack Hobbs
Alvaro Arbeloa
Jermaine Pennant
Lee Peltier
Momo Sissoko
Adam Hammill
Jordy Brouwer
Besian Idrizaj
And the second half squad will be:
Martin Hansen
Stephen Darby
Miki Roque
Ronald Huth
Robbie Threlfall
Nabil El Zhar
Ryan Flynn
Jay Spearing
Andras Simon
Craig Lindfield
Krisztian Nemeth
The Hungary kids debut! Let's hope they put on a show. Just in case we need to sub someone, we also have Ray Putterill and Martin Kelly on the bench.
