That speaks volumes given he's missed a number of matches with injury. Popovic still won't put him in squad sadly.

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.
