The story is fake in my opinion. as if a European club would want arnie. He lasted 6 weeks in Japan didn't he. Having said that, he should be backed for the next year At least, its not his fault our players are not top class.What a fool if he gets that. Leaves Australia, as a coward and demonstrating he’s not right for international football. Goes to Hibernian, and probably find it tough and in the end get the sack?
Whilst this is true, did Japan and Korea sack their coaches too ?? That's a genuine question too, I dont know.Arnie has to go, we might not have the best team but certainly have a better team than the likes of Qatar.
I don’t Arnie would not have played arzani seriously Arnie is overrated as coachWhilst this is true, did Japan and Korea sack their coaches too ?? That's a genuine question too, I dont know.
I reckon we make the Semis with Mooy, a fit Leckie, Arzani and anyone but Maclaren starting.
I'm not doubting hes average, but he did have a very average squad too.I don’t Arnie would not have played arzani seriously Arnie is overrated as coach
Iran didn’t have a better squad than us and went furtherI'm not doubting hes average, but he did have a very average squad too.
Iran are ranked 20 places higher than us in the fifa rankings, you are seriously overrating us.Iran didn’t have a better squad than us and went further
He'll be playing EPL next season.Iran are ranked 20 places higher than us in the fifa rankings, you are seriously overrating us.
Our only premier league outfielder is about to relegated to championship mediocrity again.
He'll be playing EPL next season.
Also, FIFA rankings arent exactly the best judge of a team.
Theyll sign Mooy, even if it's one of the promoted clubs. Hes a proven EPL level player.Huddersfield are one of the worst premier league teams ever, I'm not sure clubs are gonna be falling over to sign any of there players
They aren't the best, but the fact that Iran are 20 places higher shows the statement that Iran didn't have a better squad than us just shows a lack of knowledge of Iran
Theyll sign Mooy, even if it's one of the promoted clubs. Hes a proven EPL level player.
And I agree on Iran, they have a better squad and played in conditions that suited. Theres a reason they continually fail at World Cups though.
I'd have thought the majority of our players are closer to the middle east than to SE Asia. We had enough time to get use to the conditions, regardless of where it was held.If the tournament was in South East Asia we'd have done better
The same can be said for the ME teams when they come over this way. We have always struggled over that wayI'd have thought the majority of our players are closer to the middle east than to SE Asia. We had enough time to get use to the conditions, regardless of where it was held.
Our record even with the golden generation wasn't great but they were pretty much fly in-fly out qualifiers. Different cup of tea from basing yourself there for a tournament. Can't see they'd be doing it tough in these places, still be staying in the best accommodation you could imagine. Hardly roughing it with a Camel in a shed.The same can be said for the ME teams when they come over this way. We have always struggled over that way
They all sucked in 2015 too, and they are woeful at WC tournaments.

The injuries we had combined with the all around lack of talent ment I wasn't expecting much from Arnold. He might not be much chop as a manager but he is in a lose lose situation.
In those 9 games Boyle in particular actually looked likely though, much more so than Kruse or even JMac.Injuries were a convenient excuse for Arnold at the Asian Cup. Mooy was clearly a genuine loss, but like Rogic he isn't anything like the star at national level that he is at club level.
Aside from Mooy though? Well, Leckie was back by the time we were eliminated. And the Boyle + Arzani injuries that people were citing? Those guys have played a combined 9 Socceroo games.
Arnold is a hack, and should be nowhere near our national team.
Mabil isn't a natural striker though, to me, he's a winger through and through. Hopefully Ben Folami can really develop into what we need in the future. He was banging them in for Ipswich's U18 and U23s last season but not sure on his progress right now.We make the semis at least with a decent striker. Just one. I think Mabil can get there one day, hopefully.
