Timbers coach Caleb Porter didnt stray from his business-like

He knew it wouldnt be a walk in the park, but Socceroos left-back Brad Smith never expected hed have a tougher time cracking Bournemouths first XI than Liverpools.Smith transferred to Bournemouth from the Reds in July, full of hope a smaller club would present more opportunities to play regular Premier League football.Yet three months into the season the 22-year-old still hasnt played a single minute in Englands top tier.While Smith was under no illusions it would be a tall task breaking into a well-established squad, he admitted the lack of game time had already left him pondering his club future.Theyve had the same back four for about five years now so its difficult to try and get in there, he said.But Im still young compared to (No.1 left-back) Charlie Daniels, hes 30.Its a patience game. I signed a good lengthy deal, so I just have to wait for my chance.If I get a few chances Ill see how it goes from there, but I think after the end of the season Ill see whether its a loan (move) or I stay, or see what the other guy (Daniels) does.The situation was of no immediate concern for Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou, who is more than happy with the national-team form of Smith and fellow game-starved teammates Robbie Kruse and Mat Ryan.Postecoglou also pointed out that Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe wouldnt have paid a reported $10.5 million for the New South Welshman if he didnt want him for the long term.The amount of money they spent on him is quite significant for a club like Bournemouth, so they dont see him as a one-year player, Postecoglou said.I think its the right club for him because theyll be patient with him, theyll invest in him, and once he does break through hell become an important part of their team.Its a great point for him to start his football career.Smiths Liverpool background has turned him into an unlikely hero in Thailand ahead of Tuesdays World Cup qualifier in Bangkok.Fans appear unfazed that the Penrith-born Anfield academy product made less than 10 Premier League appearances for the club, loitering outside Bangkoks Supachalasai Stadium waiting for the former fringe Reds player to emerge and sign their Smith Reds jerseys.Liverpool is such a big club and because Ive played there its going to follow me around for a while, he said.
