The Socceroos thread.

Disappointing. Four right backs, five strikers.

One LB and no Nizz.

Sad.

Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them.

Goodwin, Kye and Bos have all played at LB for the Socceroos

 

[Stuartmcateer]

Who's to say he'll get picked then?

He's more chance to be picked in a dead rubber.

Not by Arnold, has already criticised his height

That's why a dead rubber is more likely. He's not going to do it in a live match but if we win the 2 games next week the bangers and Palestine matches provide a perfect way to pretend to pick form players but really not.

And because they'll throw them all in at once it wont be as pretty and will justify keeping the favorites instead of integrating new blood with the setup proper.

And if they do well it's because the opposition was substandard and he needs the favourites to win against stronger opposition.

It's from the Southgate and Arnie book manager 101 - how to pick your favourites and ignore form players.

You'd think just for his own job security he'd want the best players.

Bewildering.

I am absolutely overjoyed for Nizz... even tearing up just a little.

Farking brilliant news.

 

[Insertnamehere]

Its great news for Niz and the roos. Its a pity that GA doesn't improve players.

 

[BrisRecky]

SO, imho, Arnie put CumDog and Koul in the team because all of the noise they were making made it impossible not too...same thing goes with NizzMonsta , f**k you Arnie and your Socceroo buddy program...remember the dummy said Nizz was too short

CumDingo is the type of striker we don't have but he cruelled his chances by going to India. I hope his India sojourn does not last too long. Garang on the other hand needs to work on the defensive side of his game. The same can be said of Arzani.

TBH I'd be very happy to see Garang back here working with MJ. I think that would re-launch him.

As for Nizzy - I'd love to see him play as a left side attacking mid with Silvera out wide for him.

Me too, about bloody time. Arnie must have read your FTBL article lol

 

[Josho Howe]

Overdue call up and it couldn't be more deserved. Been the best player in the league this season.

 

[Stuartmcateer]

I have a ticket for next Thursday. Don't expect to see niz feature though.

I also have tickets.Will be surprised if Nizzy plays on Thursday but if we get a good win hopefully a run in the Canberra game.

 

[Allreet?]

Nothing else explains it.

Erm... except Nizz's outstanding form.

 

[FFC Mariner]

I've got tickets and am now excited to go.
Maybe even Arnold will run out of excuses not to play Silvera and Niz.
