This is not how a modern number nine plays and certainly not how Arnie uses a nine. The old school Viduka of dropping back to receive the ball with your back to play went more than a decade ago.

And if you think McLaren just stands around in the box waiting for the ball then you haven’t watched him play. It takes an incredible amount of skill and anticipation to find space in the box as a professional in the A-League. McLaren is never static and he can finish with both feet. Something Cummings is struggling to emulate.

absolutely .he's in my fantasy team . but i just love the name mctappin

Apparently Boyle is out, Tilio is in.

 

[onto it]

but can they sing?

How's the shite cumdog copped. Just bullshite. Can't believe kalack has the nads to call out another national team player after his performances.
Also calling Arnold out for favouring ccm when we've provided the last 3 WC caps. WTF. We played a 451 in defence what did they expect of the cumdog who needs another front man?

 

[scottmac]

Anyway, against Tunisia. I think Arnold was selecting players at the end that he was happy not to play against the team we want to win against. Imagine trying to play cumdog as one up front......... who does that???

Not a dumb move as a deep 9.
Especially if Arnold plans to attack down the flanks.
It will be McTap in I guess

Yeah I think Cummings getting a run had more to do with keeping Jmac fresh for this game. Who picks up the last 20 could go either way.

i wouldn't wait .i'd throw mabil on now for leckie

 

[FFC Mariner]

Garang to kill them on the counter late

He would have done better than Mabil

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Adz can we merge threads now?

Road to thread is redundant now right?

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Defensively much prefer to have Mabil coming on than Kuol in that game out wide. UP TOP on the other hand... would have probably killed it off.

 

[Gazza 13]

Great result for us and I’ll take it. All we need now is at minimum a draw against Denmark and we’re through unless somehow France lose to Tunisia, in that case we’ll have to be Denmark but I doubt
that’ll have to happen. ??
