He also talked down played the standard of the A-league when it suited (regarding inexperienced Younis performancs) and talked up Leckie's performance in a one off A-league game when that suited after his injury layoff.
Elder won't. I'd pick him if fit. Goodwin I think should go. We're light on the left.
Agree that Craig Goodwin should be in the final 26-player list for the World Cup as he provides much needed depth in the left winger position and also has previous World Cup experience having been part of the Socceroos playing list last cycle.
So many more deserving than Leckie at CM. I'd be fuming if he comes out of the blue and sidelines Robertson, Balard, Devlin or others. A train on player to lift standards in training and as a locker room guy is fine.
So Leckie can't play as a winger anymore? He used to be good at it
Leckie could it's just not where he's playing now. RF would make more sense to me than CM except we have better RF's than him. RWB makes the most sense to me.
Behich scored a penalty for Melbourne City against Auckland on the weekend.
Borello in the Socceroos. LOL, is he going to be washing the bibs or something?
He was an impact sub of choice for Popovic with 5 sub appearances. I think we need to hope he isn't in the 26-man squad.
He's scored 4 goals all season in a last placed side. I mean I'm genuinely baffled that he's even in the train on squad.
No disrespect to a younger Leckie but Popa has made a head scratching selection based off one good A-league performance before (Al Hassan Toure), and this only makes sense to me if Popa is worried about Irvine carrying an injury.
I know. It's stupid.
But he missed the pen shootout in AFC Champions league elite
But when Okon playing against a good opposition like Colombia he got outplayed badly and looked a liability in the midfield.
I ve been watching WSW this season and Borrello has been frustrating.
I'd have Duke in the squad, he flings his body at anything in the air in the box and the way we play with alot of crosses in general he comes in handy. I've been watching him ever sense he started Macarthur mid season and has impressed, he really wants to go.
Aziz Behich has not taken a penalty for Melbourne City in regulation time this season and is likely only going to be taking penalties for the Socceroos during the knockout stage of the World Cup should our matches go to penalties.
