It'd be a mistake. Devlin is a perfect sub for fresh legs to shut down a game.

100% agree. No-one better placed in that situation.

Yeah have you initial cm pairing, one back up then two tactical players - one to protect a lead and one to chase it
Robbo to chase and devlin to protect

Or Nisbet to do both, but we won't see him.

We're absolutely stuffed under Popovic in midfield. Irvine not 100% and technically inept. O'Neill one minute never played with paid but then Popovic said he's had an ankle issue for 2 years.
Remember Juric in 2018? Masked his injuries in order to play and was very underdone.
Midfield should be Devlin, Balard, Robertson, Yazbek.

Josh Nisbet will likely be in the Socceroos playing list for the World Cup as a differential option or injury cover and his versatility in terms of being able to both protect and chase leads in midfield means that he can be paired with either tactical option in Robertson or Devlin from the bench.

John Aloisi and Chengdu Rongcheng defeated Liaoning Tieren 1-0 in their Chinese Super League game to remain top of the ladder and go nine points clear.

Wow such bad luck 
Looking more and more likely for Matthew Leckie.

I had to double check Bratten wasn't one of the few that was already over there.... you gave me a mini heart attack

Tete Yengi not in the Matchday squad for Machida Zelvia round 15 clash with Yokohama Marinos.
On I side note Machida's manager Go Kuroda is heavily tipped as Japan's next national team successor, we could do worse if available then have a sneaky crack.

Id take Leckie anyway. He is similar to Cahill.. you just know he has the potential to produce something
For arguments sake, if both OāNeill and Yazbek both donāt recover in-time, who are you starting next to Irvine at the World Cup? Robertson, Okon, Balard, Leckie etc
it feels like itāll be Leckie based off Popaās sentiment in the interview but thereās a real lack of forward ball progression between Leckie and Irvine.
Iād prefer Robertson
