Guest Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Everyone talks Tim Cahill and how he shouldn't be on the national team, but I wonder what people still see in Robbie Kruse. He's useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I'm close to conceding that Trent Sainsbury is the best Australian player overall. He's just a very solid CB. Its between him and Mooy really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its between him and Mooy really. He's generally incredibly solid. I'm glad he's finally away from China. He's made 1-2 errors of judgment but having him in our team is a huge plus. I have never rated Milligan and him at CB worries me. Kruse has so many haters these days, not the same player he used to be due to injuries and hasn't played well for us for a long time. Glad Risdon has started well. Mooy and Rogic have the potential to be quite the pairing. 1-0 up at HT vs the Czech but I really think against someone like France we would be 3-0 down already.

Yeah, I've been quite surprised by Risdon so far, especially given the lack of depth Australia have in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toinho 2,210 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 @Bluethoughts on Nabbout? I would rather Maclaren than him and Juric. Shame somehow the coach doesn't agree... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juric is apparently dealing with a knock, hence why Nabbout is starting but he's not done a great job today. I think Maclaren would have been better.

Toinho 2,210 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Czech started well but as soon as they went down you can tell they're on holiday mode. Come on Maclaren! I want him on that plane to Russia. Big fan of Irvine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Looking at Australia's marking scheme, I'm beginning to worry about them more than Denmark. With the abundance of midfielders who are looking for a counter, that's the sort of side we struggle against. Where as Denmark will open up giving us more of a chance to enjoy our tiki-taka game.

Guest Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Australia have been good to be fair. Getting the job done, defending excellently against a painfully average Czech Republic. 3-0 represents the scoreline well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can play like this (at a faster pace and more solid at the back) then I'm feeling a bit more confident of getting at least a point or two in our group. 3-0.

I think you can get something against us or Denmark. I'm hoping its against Denmark. I do believe we are the better team, but your marking style will bother us.

Guest Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 After watching that, I'm more worried about Australia than Denmark. They have a marking style that's been known to annoy us in the past and actually have playmaking quality unlike teams such as Bolivia, Scotland and New Zealand. Denmark are a team that will open up a bit more and due to quality and man to man, that game will be a coin toss. Given how good we've been at football in the last 2 years, I'm beginning to worry about failing to meet expectations. We genuinely are in the group of death.

Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted June 1, 2018 Administrator Share Posted June 1, 2018 @Toinho @Blue Hasn't MacLaren been injured for a lot of this season, and not actually played that much even when not injured? Nabbout isn't a bad shout. Can be hit and miss though. Not seen the game/goals but hopefully for Australia's sake he's more 'hit' in a few weeks time.
