Hughesy Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 It’s a very strange situation that we’ve scored so many goals cause our attack has seemed woeful all season lol octa9ona11, BoyFromTheWest, wendybr and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment
MartinTyler Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Interesting that we have the second worse defence yet Margush, Ziggy and Natta receive constant praise. Must be a weak link or 2 somewhere alexd, wendybr, Smoggy and 6 others 9 Link to comment

Keithie Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 That stat re goals scored against goals against is all about why I have beating the drum about a good solid leader in the centre back position , fix that issue and we are a good solid team. Has the transfer window closed. I gotta ask why we have had such a big push against our attacking players if you compare us with Melbourne City 20 of the 42 goals have come from McLaren with a total of 10 different players who have scored goals for them this season. Wanderers have 13 players who have scored goals for us this season with Bruce Kamau and Mitch Duke top with 6 each. Seems we are harder to shutdown on goal than City , Stop McLaren and you stop City with Noone as their only other threat , no boots Nabbout has cored only 2. I think the biggest issue I have seen and major criticism of strikers has come when we are chasing the game and we are seeing Goalkeepers like Jamie Young winning player of the match As I have said we have scored in nearly every game and conceded more in a lot of others. Get rid of McGowan and replace him with a decent centre back and for goodness sake Robbo leave the defence alone this week and see how we go. We are playing the old men (Western United) of the league on Saturday after they have played mid week game and I think they have to play the smurfs mid next week we will never get a better chance.

We have become the Boro team that Brian Clough played striker for. As quick as he would score them we let them in at the other end. He would score hat tricks and still end up on the losing side. Culminated with a 6 - 6 draw away at Charlton when he lost it with the defenders, accused them of throwing games deliberately for the bookies.

Paul01 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Arnold mentioned on The Global Game that Natta may be in the frame for Olyroos selection for Japan. I also heard him mention Margush elsewhere. Of note, Arnold also said that there will be A-League players going to the hub for the WC Qualifiers from the 24th May (FIFA window opens). Games affected for us are the Nix, Brisbane and Adelaide games. Link to comment

Duke is the most likely for the senior squad. However considering the national team is still low in the RB department Tate Russel and Thomas Aquilina could be outsiders to make senior squad.

Duke will likely be the only loss for Socceroos, although I don't know how many attackers they are taking, they could take Nikita, Maclaren, Taggart and some other European based Aussie players. Maybe he won't get the call up? Link to comment
