I`ve heard he has to attend a one week re-programming seminar, conducted by Matt Simon & Vucka...

2 Weeks quarantine.

how so? The cup doesn't have prize money, the finals ticket revenue goes to FA.

So you don't give a f**k about Australia cup? It's a place in an Asian Cup, not to mention a very good warm up for the season. And how are we going to do the proper quad without it?

Exactly, it's warmup. Give Paully a run. Not sure why this is controversial.

If we don't draw an ALM team (which we always do) then he definitely needs to get a run. He won't improve sitting on the bench.

Paull started last season's Australian Cup game against Sydney and the week after he scored the own goal against Terengganu

TBH I think it was a mistake to play him against Sydney. He was obviously out oh his depth and his efforts around the first two goals confirmed that. He needed to be nurtured along. Play him against lesser teams and in preseason hitouts. This was a competitive match against a strong opponent early in his stay here. I really think it affected his confidence in a big way. Hopefully he has a better pre-season this year and can live up to his potential.

He is only 20 as well, plenty of time to develop.

Think I’m right in saying the only other player to turn pro that for us that young is, Garang?

. i thought Musti was only 16 when we signed him

Ah yes, he was

Is it because he hasn't demonstrated that he is capable of playing at senior level?

Didn't he play left back last time vs Sydney?

Tough gig for a youngster

Is that before or after the exorcism and labotomy?

Nothing concrete yet but Lynch paraphrases previous GA quotes

However, Arnold has also consistently bemoaned the lack of games that the Australian top-flight plays since he assumed the mantle of Socceroos boss, as well as the long offseason that it observes. The latter was a point he raised last month, saying that with the next slate of qualifiers set for September – the next A-League Men's season won’t start until October – it will be difficult for him to pick domestic players for that window.

In our favour we played until 2 weeks ago and Nizz played the most minutes of any player in an Australian domestic season. While we won't have started the A League season we would have played 2 Australia Cup before the September FIFA date and a further 3 cup matches and 2 ACL Elite games before the October dates.

World Cup dreams loom as Nisbet plots future

Off-contract Central Coast Mariners and Socceroo midfielder Josh Nisbet has sought Graham Arnold's advice as he plans his future, with his dreams of featuring at a World Cup playing on his mind.

I've just been re-watching some of our last season. While we have plenty of quality about us at the moment (and stilling hoping to retain most of it) there are a couple of big holes that need to be filled for next season - particularly against the top sides in Asia.

Number 1 is a Danny replacement. I don't think either of the young guys are quite ready yet and as much as I like Birraz if he came back I could see him struggle against the top Japanese and Korean sides.

The other think is a prolific striker. We struggled for goals later in the second half of the season. Against our ACL opponents we will need to either create much more or have a clinical striker that bags everything he is presented with.

Agree - plus we have no depth at CB (worse if/when Dan leaves) - I think Jacko sees Edmo as his clinical striker.
Hope hes right

I see what you did there 😉

Nowhere near fulfilling his potential this season. I think we'll see a team structured around getting him chances. He's easily our best finisher and spent a large part of last season not being passed to by he who shall not be named.
