It's because you're seeing Gini with less defensive responsibilities.
And against players who would never cut it in the premier League
Like Zinchenko and Yarmolenko.
Plus when one if those players you bring on is Nathan Aké always runs the risk of backfiring
Can cross the ball all the same!
Ha yeah! I've got them in a sweep, so let's hope he learns to defend... then forgets again in time for next season
That was great that. We'll miss Gini next season. Particularly since we probably won't sign anyone to replace him
Really enjoyed that podcast.
His passing was really shite but defensively he was good. Did a good job policing their most dangerous player, Perisic.
I was thinking about listening to this again after speaking to a friend about Sarajevo.
Also the Mongol series is immense.. but again, it's soo long and soo much info that I've forgotten most of it.
Hmmm... the Mongol series seems to have passed me by. I'll listen to it after I finish Supernova in the East 6.
If you look at Gini's international goals:
San Marino 1
Brazil 1
Latvia 1
Kazakhstan 1
Poland 1
Austria 1
Greece 1
Luxembourg 1
Germany 1
France 1
Belarus 1
Germany 1
Estonia 1
Belarus 2
Estonia 3
Bosnia 2
Poland 1
Gibraltar 1
Ukraine 1
Easier to rack up goals in internationals due to the poor quality of opposition in general.

Not sure what to expect from the Scotland v Czech game, I worry that the Czechs will play too cautiously in what should be their easiest game.
I doubt we will see much of Hlozek in this game as the managers almost always plays 4-5-1 with Patrik Schick (Leverkuesen) as the lone striker. Schick plays a vital role in this team as all Czech's best players are midfielders and Schick, who is not the most prolific goalscorer, creates lots of space for the midfielders to take advantage of. He is a big strong player and very intelligent, he pulls defenders out of position and midfielders like Darida, Soucek and Jankto follow up. I am not even sure that we will see Hlozek if the manager switches to 4-4-2 during the game as the manager has his favourites and Vydra has never let him down.
Soucek played for Slavia beside Alex Kral (The David Luiz look-a-like) and they were a dominant force. Soucek went to West Ham and Kral was snapped up by Spartak Moscow. It baffles me that we have been linked with a £40m bid for Bissouma when Kral is allegedly available for less than half of that. He is very strong in the tackle, very good in the air and covers a lot of ground. Apparently West Ham (who else) are being linked with Kral.
If you want a laugh, the centre back Celustka is very dodgy. He reckons he should have over 100 caps by now but I'm amazed he has even 1. He is very strong and not bad in the air but he is shocking at everything else. Centre back in the Czech's achilles heel. The won't struggle to defend set pieces because of Soucek and Kral but in open play they will have big problems unless they play Holes (ostensibly a midfielder but who has played CB to great effect before) beside the car-crash Celustka. Czech will really miss Kudela (the racist twat who is suspended for his idiocy in the Slavia v Rangers game.)
Other players worth watching; Barak (Verona) who almost certainly won't start (but imo should start ahead of Jankto) who is a very talented midfielder. Darida the captain who pulls all the strings, he 30 now so not on anyone's radar but I'm amazed he never got a move to a big club. If Zima plays (and despite only being 20 he should definitely be in ahead of Celustka) he is a very promising CB who is being watched by many clubs.
Czech should win but with home advantage the Scots won't be a push over.

Something like that yeah. Although his name is actually spelt (switches to Czech keyboard) Holeš (switches back again) and pronounced Holesh.
