Socceroos 2019 AFC ASIAN CUP-Socceroos Thread

[hey shorty]

I think Mabil made a good decision in that regard. Strong club in a decent league and now hes playing a vital role.

The gulf in class between Leckie and the other attacking players is enormous, not even taking into consideration the fact he has been injured.

No doubt.

Leckie is easily our best attacking option at the moment, it'll be interesting to see how he goes tomorrow morning now that he is fit. Looked dangerous straight away against Uzbekistan.

Mabil has been terrific at times throughout the tournament and looks to have a real future. I'm glad he has been given opportunities this tournament and he looks to have really taken them.

We've not looked great thus far but I wonder how different things would look had Boyle, Arzani and Mooy been available and Leckie fit for the duration of the tournament. That's a lot of quality missing which is never easy to replace.

Probably the 4 best attacking options in the team

You'd be playing Leckie as a false 9 almost.

Is it going to be a couple of parked buses and another penalty shoot out?


Wish I was more excited about the team (and the tournament) but I'm up late to watch the socceroos one more time .

 

[gaskin]

Interesting going 2 up top for this game. I knew it wouldn't happen but I am slightly disappointed Leckie isn't starting.

In other news, Qatar beat Korea so win this and it will be us against Qatar for a spot in the final.

Which gives us more reason to win tonight. Need to eliminate the remaining oil slave traders for the good of everyone.

Robbie ******* Kruse

 

[FreoRicci]

How poor has the crowds been this tournament.. even a home quarter final it’s not packed out.
Australia do it best, every game in 2015 was full

Arnold will probably like UAE to open up and play. But that’s counter productive, australia are poor in defence at times.

 

[FreoRicci]

Is Kruse spooked from ever turning and attack? He almost always has his back to goal and passes back.. weird. He gets into good spots, but never turns with the ball

 

[tigs2010]

We look like conceding every time they touch the ball lol

 

[La Dolce Vita]

very open game

 

[FreoRicci]

Look where our full backs are whenever they counter attack. Have to be careful not to give up possession on the middle. Have no chance of tracking back fast

 

[FreoRicci]

very open game

The two up front doing a lot of damage. Should’ve done this earlier, especially on the Middle East

 

[FreoRicci]

Far out. We keep this up, bring on Leckie and Mabil in the 60th minute. They’ll run amok against their tired defence

 

[Quokka]

Two shaky sides against two settled keepers, leading to a bit of chaos... I'll take it

 

[Milanista28]

Kruse has been good. We really need to figure out a way to turn half chances into shots on target, we really should be testing keepers more.

 

[jonathons11]

Kruse has been good.
He knows this is his chance to hold his spot going forward. All of a sudden we have quite a surplus of wingers, especially when everyone come back from injury

Need a surplus of strikers. God we need them. Anyone that can put goals away.

 

[hey shorty]

We have some firepower on the pine, but how will the officials get the UAE a goal before they come on ??

 

[FreoRicci]

Milligan is showing his age. He’s a liability, we need someone that can pass and shoot. Luongo is a better option, but he’s the captain.

 

[FreoRicci]

Maclaren not happy to come off. But someone has to come off for Leckie

 

[Topkent]

Kruse absoloutely torched by behich and Milligan then.
