I was rather surprised that Irvine was selected in the national squad but thought he must have been playing well. That thread rather puts an end to that thought. Why is he in the Australian Squad? By the sounds of it it would have been better to have selected almost any A-league regular midfielder.

Very surprised Irvine was called up. Was ok in the u20s but looked far from the finished article.
And given that we already have Milligan, Jedinak and Holland in the squad I don't see the need either.

Honestly... Technically proficient Australians should never go to the SPL. Not even Celtic.
Their manager doesn't know how to properly utilise their abilities and the fans only care about how hard a player seems to be running and sliding.
Huge mistake for Rojic and probably for Irvine too. Off to Germany ASAP lads!

Big slow clumsy looking player
Never seen him play and rated him was always suprised at people's comments on here about him I always read comments about how he isn't strong enough or big enough but "great technically." I mean some of them want to loan him out to a lower level scottish side, good god.

Hopefully Klopp starts him against Freiberg this weekend. Kruse and Son both starting... intriguing.
By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

Langerak starting in the cup vs 1860 Munich. Leckie and Ruka should feature tomorrow night. Kruse may play tonight in Bielefeld.

If these two players become consistent starters that would make 8 players breaking into the starting squad this year in a good league as opposed to six last year. Also Rogic apparently has had a groin injury so perhaps he is still a chance. Chris herd is always injured so perhaps he is a chance too

Langerak should start in the cup game against 1860 tomorrow morning... at least I hope so, considering he'll be playing Champions League in a week. It'll be interesting to see whether Kruse or Son starts in their game against Bielefeld, might give an idea as to who starts on the weekend.
By now, American Samoa must have realised that Australias 22-0 win over Tonga two days earlier was no fluke.

- 61% pass success rate. Absolutely abhorrent for a defender.
- Average of 1 tackle and 0.3 intercepts per game. Not good ball winning stats at all for a fullback. I thought this was supposed to be his strength according to some on this site?
- Also one red card and one own goal.
I get it that he's in an under-performing team... but even then whoscored's statistical algorithms rate him as Millwalls 22nd best player! (That's their 2nd worst player to have played more than one game).
The next time someone suggests putting him in the NT ahead of Davidson or Zullo they get a hard slap in the face. Surely that still makes him better than Mckay though. I've only seen Lowry play a couple of times but I wouldn't even go that far. Neither of them belong at leftback. Lowry seems much more suited to centerback while McKay, a good midfielder is completely ill suited to leftback. moops wrote:Lol, from what games I have seen him play, he likes the looong pass. I don't think he is a viable lb either, though cb he could do alright. Completely agree. But to play as a centerback for the national team he would have to majorly improve those passing stats. Edited by neanderthal: 23/9/2013 10:32:29 AM What you don't understand is the difference in leagues, I wouldn't be suprised if Lowry is told by his coaches to bomb the ball forward and hope for the best. Where as Davidson and Zullo would probably always be told to play it out from the back. I'd like to see some other CB's in the championship and put there stats next to Lowry and see how are they are. I can pull up some stats from Holman where his passing percent is below 30%.. in some games and he's a midfielder. On the contrary I'm very aware of the vastly different game plans Championship clubs and Eredivisie clubs deploy. I'm certain that if Lowry spent a period of time in the Eredivisie his passing stats would be much improved. But that doesn't mean if we call him up from Millwall into the NT his passing will suddenly be acceptable just because he has different orders. Since you asked for a same league CB comparison, here's Lowry vs Williams (Who has had an average season so far): Passing success: Lowry 61% - Rhys 85% Passes per game: Lowry 26 - Rhys 45 Accurate long balls per game: Lowry 2 - Rhys 5.4(Williams makes nearly triple the amount of successful long balls) Tackles: Lowry 1 - Rhys 1.6 Interceptions: Lowry 0.3 - Rhys 0.8 Aerial duels won: Lowry 1.2 - Rhys 2.4 (This despite it generally being easier to rack up ball winning stats at fullback. Jason Davidsons ball winning is much better than either of these two). In general Rhys's other stats look better too. i.e. Rhys makes triple as many clearances, lots of blocks per games where as Lowry hasn't made a single one yet. Lowry is dribbled around nearly once per game which is more than double Rhys. The best I can say for Lowry is that he gives away less fouls. You can blame the team to an extent, but Lowry still has the worst stats of any defender in his team this season.  Excellent post.
