Gavo Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I do agree, the lone striker role is a tough one and support is definitely not his only role, but for me, I see goals as a bonus... When I watch us play, we just seem more likely to score, when we have a lone forward with their back to goal. Thats why I am willing to cut any lone striker some slack when it comes to scoring goals. Have a look at players who have played in that system and only very elite strikers will score on a regular basis. You can run all game and not get one decent look in on goal and then when you do get that half chance your expected to score. It would be interesting to know, how many goals were score by the lone striker, for Australia, during the Eddie Thompson days... Not many I'm thinking. Mate thats what I have been saying all along. I was there painfully watching goal a game Arnie struggling to score with Thompson employing one striker. But he did score goals as well but no where near as many for Australia as he did with SU. If memory serves, Viduka suffered the same under Thompson, in his early days. Link to comment

Woooooooooooo!!! Balkanite's shout at the Woolie tomorrow........... Notice all the *** they = Terms and Conditions .. Muahahhaha You're buying me a beer tomorrow....

Kensworth Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Dino dropped to the bench for NIX game, good move IMO, his work rate will be good at the end! Hopefully Haliti takes his chances! Link to comment

Burztur Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Dino did well today. Good pressing from the front. Link to comment
Sime11 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Dino did play better today, we definetely looked more organised in the 2nd half with Dino Dino Dino we need to stick with him, look at bridge when he was at shitney fc, scored 17 in 80 games according to wiki lol (CBF to get correct stats) bridge has come here to WSW and played a quarter of the amount of games than what he played at Shitney and hes scored almost half the total amount of goals. and this is his first season. stick with cousin Dino & every other player for that matter & they will payback the club with goals & good performances.

Jukes01 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Dino had one of his better games today... Must be said that Haliti was very good though... I thought Haliti played a decent game. He really should have buried that goal though in the first half. That was a sitter, but everyone misses those in their careers. Link to comment
moxey25 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 We play worse when Dino isn't starting I reckon. It's like we don't know what to do. He made some fantastic defensive clearances as well. Link to comment
