Aussies abroad 🌍🦘

Ah damn. Long QPR ball down wing and Bennie is the faster but a covering defender can get to it. The QPR AA working together on same wing.
 
The vast majority of Aussies abroad in the FA Cup knocked out in the third round after Derby County lost 3-1 to Leeds United and Portsmouth lost 4-1 to Arsenal. QPR lost 2-1 to West Ham after extra time, whilst Blackburn Rovers and Swansea City lost 4-3 and 6-5 on penalties after their games finished scoreless and 2-2 respectively after extra time.
 
also want to add to the compliments to football 360

All of football rather than partisan ✅
original story telling ✅
Keeping up with hardcore fans rather than reporting news 3 days after everyone knows it (aka fox) ✅

hope they stay in business
 
also want to say I'm pleased leonard is in the midfield. He always struck me as very good, but not elite in that position.

Anything we can do to support them? I suppose just reading the articles

well I'm certainly not an expert but I note that elite defenders can

1) turn a difficult clearance (e.g. a through ball or a crossed fired in at pace) into a pass (like herrington, circati, souttar)
2) Can get a desperate tackle or block in when the opponent has a big chance
3) capable of a really accurate long pass that breaks a press

Leonard is good at keeping the ball in tight spaces and defensive duals, which seems more like a 6 with elite potential

Huge praise for 'remarkable' Aussie wonderkid finally ready to debut in Germany

Australian teenager Dylan Leonard has had to be patient waiting for his chance to debut for FC Schalke. It could finally come this weekend.

apparently turning into a 6 like triantis. I actually think he could end up better than triantis if he fulfils his potential

He's already better than Triantis because Triantis is dead to me.

I bet Arsenal will draw one of those teams again and get the easiest run to the final but still bottle it in the semis.

At least Arsenal can still say they made it to Wembley this FA Cup cycle even if they fail to make the grand final, but hopefully we do get to see at least one Aussie abroad in the latter stages and not have all of them dumped out in the fourth round proper.

No grand final in the FA Cup. Or other standard knockout cup comps for that matter, even in Australia.
