Id like to see an okon robbo midfield especially if we are chasing the game

A scicluna devlin pair to shut it down

I'd like to see how Robbo Devlin pairing would go. Or Robbo Balard.

Irvine may not be a lock either, since he is carrying that foot injury.

I know they are no longer fashionable but I like a big bodied screening number 6, Trewin and Robertson for me.

Tete Yengi not in the Matchday squad for Machida Zelvia round 15 clash with Yokohama Marinos.

Thomas Deng started and played the entire first half for Yokohama FM in their 2-0 J1 100 Year Vision League East Region loss to Machida Zelvia before being subbed off at the half.

Jason Geria started and played 85 minutes for Albirex Niigata in their 1-0 J2/J3 100 Year Vision League West Region A win over Tokushima Vortis before being subbed off.

Kenny Dougall starts for Buriram United as captain in their ASEAN Club Championship semi-final first leg game against Johor Darul Ta'zim, as does Curtis Good.

finally gets game time

He should be good enough to get game time in Cyprus. If not there’s no reason he should be in the conversation for the Socceroos.

Balard/Robbo MF is our best combination.

So I guess they'll both be injured shortly ... or not picked.

100% you need someone to provide some decent cover for the defence otherwise its just midfield running straight at the defence

A big bodied screener would be ideal. I think we have a few other options too. Devlin (not big bodied though), Okon, Stensness (would have Trewin ahead) could do a job. It's hard to go past the job Devlin's done at Hearts. I'd love a Robertson and Devlin pairing.

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.

Whoever is in the midfield it's going to be our weakest link. Hope I'm wrong but I won't be expecting penetrating through balls from our central mids. We'll be relying on the flanks and well-aimed long passes to the wings from Burgess and Circati. And set pieces of course.

I am struggling to remember a socceroos team where midfield was the weak link!

Historically the back 4, even during the golden generation was the weak link

I think our uber focus on playing out from the back meant we got the jump on other countries in producing press defenders

Mo Touré nominated for EFL POTM!!! Also some other guy.

Feyenoord can clinch the UCL if they win their next game. Waiting with bated breath for Feyenoord to do so, and hopefully Bos doesn't have to play the final game and can instead rest for a week before camp. Especially regarding Bos, who is arguably our most important player and scarily injury prone at Feyenoord.

Similarly, Parma's season contains three more games. Hopefully after this week's game, Circati can rest.
