The Socceroos thread.

[true believer]

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.

mabil has experience and is a physical guy . where garang is still a kid .
i think arnie pulled the right rain

 

[Ozhammer]

Mabil was very ordinary for mine, failed to really add any energy after coming on and Hrustic wasn’t much better imho

Haha

Great WC final.Messi did what Messi does-scores and sets up goals.Mbappe's second goal was a cracker.

I appreciate there is 2 games and that it is being advertised as a bit of a WC Thankyou and farewell for some.

However….

Is few and far between with Socceroos games and we have a massive friendly against England later on and then shouldn’t we be trying to gel the players that are most likely the next generation of socceroos that are most like to go hard at the Asian Cup and then onto the World Cup.

I know we have to sprinkle a bit of experience through each line however the experience now that will stay around still includes Souttar, Rowles, Mcgree, Devlin, Deng, Goodwin.

Are these games important for any qualifying?

Wouldn’t it be ideal to take out Behich, Degenik, Irvine, Duke.

And put in:
Bos, Atkinson, Mcgree, Robinson, etc.

Im sure they’ll get some game time but would like to see the team that is predicted to play England and the Asian cup play as the starting 11 for these 2 games.

Then use others as subs if they not gelling.
