They were definitely interested in him during the January window, it was reported in the press here that we rejected them. Think it may have been a loan bid though? |

Presumably the international squads will be announced for the March games soon. Would be surprised if he wasn't in Belgium's. Was always in the mix last year when his form was poor so now that he's playing and playing well, I'd imagine he'd be back in it |

Assuming Kompany isn't fit, who is he competing with to get into the international squad? Is it primarily Jan Vertonghen, Vermaelen, Alderweireld & Denayer or am I missing anyone?

Meunier plays RB. Belgium usually use Vertonghen and Alderweireld in central defence. Sometimes, Siman is called up against lower opposition, but he also has a double CB/FB. |

I tried to find what I said about him to quote myself and beg forgiveness. Suffice to say it was along the lines of "we'll know if the new management team know what they are doing if they get rid of Boyata because he's hopeless". What a red neck. Thanks Brendan....! |

Had my suspicions. Never in doubt. Hobo Balde? about the only good thing I ever said about him on here. If he scores in the final to win the treble I might admit I got it wrong. |

must have changed since Martinez took over. I've only ever seen Vertonghen at LB. I haven't watched them much recently to be fair. |

One of the main reproach Belgium fans had against Wilmots was he always played FB in central defence when Kompany is injured. Against Bosnia, Vertonghen started as a CB again. The lack of proper CB also explains why Boyata was called up for the Euros despite his poor season in Scotland. |

For a second I thought FB was someone's initials rather than meaning that Wilmots played a Full Back in the middle of defence Assuming he continues in our defence, how close is Boyata to consistently being in the squad at least for Belgium? |

Looked like last years Boyata yesterday. Passing was atrocious and completely lost his man for their goal. |

First time since he's been back in the side that a team have given him all that time on the ball. It's his definite weakness. Malmö did it to great effect over in Sweden and it was done in a lot of the subsequent Europa League games. Hopefully we have the confidence and players in the team now who can take it from him and get the move going. Last year too many hid and it was a recurring feature of our game of Boyata giving it away. Have a funny feeling he might pop up with a goal next weekend. Huns are awful from set pieces and will hate the way he attacks the ball. |

I think his poor showing was exacerbated by other players around him not showing for the ball. The difference in performance from him in the second half was significant when we went a bit top heavy, so I don't see teams being able to replicate St Mirren's tactics in the future. |

His average pass completion in the Europa League was 93%. His problem yesterday was the midfield hiding. |

Atrocious? No worse than Brown's first half, and fine second. |

There were misplaced passes all over the place yesterday. Think the surface had a lot to do with it. |
