Confirmed ITK Drafting King
It's just as bad as every team since the golden generation retired, but much worse because of no Cahill and Jedinak. This team is at its lowest point in at least 30 years.

Kewell was world class, at his best there were few left wingers who were better.
Dukes maybe not, but he was VERY VERY good.

Except this team was without a few of its starters which would of made a difference.

So we drove Ange out of town for this? Not surprising considering it's the FFA. Interesting to see who the first journo is to poke their head up and have a crack. Sure as hell wont be anyone from Fox Sports, especially that snake Slater.
Regardless of injuries our game plan was terrible, team selection dumbfounding and the only real positive to come from it was that Grant looked brilliant (not sure wtf is going on there), Mabil looks promising and it we wont have to worry about sweating our balls off in Qatar in a few years time.

Be the best decision the FFA could make and it's not even their decision to make. Funnily enough we'd probably chase a Sam Allardyce or something.

He would have to be pretty bad to be no better.

Arnie is a club coach, where he can get the players in that he wants and has full control over systems and structures.
He failed in 2007 with the most talented squad in Australian history, he failed again this time however he wasnt dealt a good hand.

Hibs wanna get relegated Arnold won’t last 4 weeks
Is it too early to campaign for sacking Arnold and put someone else in charge for the WC qualification campaign?

I think you're a bit late
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?

Returns to Sydney, wins another championship and gets another crack at the national team in 2026. FFA logic.

I believe Mabil was left on the bench because he wasnt sure he could play the full 90, after the passing of his sister.
Strange to be available but not start but I'm not in that position. Despite this, Kruse is not the answer anymore. Whatever happens now, he must go. 70+ appearances for a handful of goals. Rebuild should have happened by now but no better time to start than asap...

Mabil’s sister had just passed and Kruse played well. Not sure what Arnold did wrong there.
The sister news escaped me (didn't see the game live) but Kruse has 5 goals in 75 games. He is not the answer to continuously call up. If we ever want to get better we have to move on from mediocrity

Don’t disagree mate but Kruse played well in the last game.
World cup qualifiers start possibly September for us. If it follows a similar format to the most recent edition, we'll be playing three minnows and one decent team. 7 months to assemble something respectable. I fear the Socceroos may miss 2022, especially if we're grouped with a a few middle eastern teams at some point. Given quite a lot of this generation has only known Australia to make World cups, it'll be interesting to see the reaction if they fail to qualify.

The ends justified the means for that one fixture. Would I be selecting him when Boyle, Arzani etc are back? Not a chance.
