What we also need to do is pick a striker and stick with them for a run of games. Give JMac a block, or Giannou or Juric... whoever. I'd try Leckie there.

Hes big, strong and good with his head. We look to have the flanks covered with Boyle and Mabil, hell Goody didnt even make the squad.

According to Kosmina, Arnold intends to play 3 number 9's.

Im sorry but Leckie is a poor finisher, I dont even think he should be the starting winger. All he has is pace, and agression. Is a poor decison maker in the final third, doesnt cross well either, absolutely overrated. But when Kruse is on the other side of the pitch it makes Leckie look good.
We don't have a player that can make a goal from nothing. One that only needs one chance to nail it.

 

[hey shorty]

We dont have a good finisher, and LOL if you think all he has is pace.

Kruse is the Mackay equivalent of the Australian team.

We need to invest in other players with a view to the future.

It's actually scary the parallels between the 2.

Both started their careers looking like they are gonna be superstars but in Kruses case injury ruined him. Mackay just didnt grow out of his 16yo kid body

well what does he have? Kevin bloody muscat has scored more goals as a defender than Leckie or Kruse have.

Kevin Muscat took penalties.....

Nice start by Boyle with a brace... when we are looking for more goal scoring options with Timmy playing his farewell game.

The talent isnt there which is why we are playing Juric......

Indeed, we need to find goals from elsewhere, but at least trying different options... around Juric.

First look of Ilso, looked real quality.

Hes very laconic, much like Chelo was. Makes him look slow and lazy which he isnt, but I'm not convinced hes a striker, more a 10.

We are grinding out games but we do need a striker.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

You take a 3-1 win away everytime... particularly after poor defending to concede the 1st goal.

 

[FAITH]

I do like the look of us though, we could be the real deal this season.

 

[hey shorty]

Have to get some players back or make moves in January though. We have great depth but we will need everyone firing to beat the best.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

We need a reliable striker

Must win tonight.
