Ryan had a decent game overnight, kept a clean sheet. Brugge are currently leading the league but it's neck and neck for the championship and UCL group stage.

Halloran starting
Goal, 3 minutes in

Halloran will definitely be called up. Langerak should be starting on weekend due to Weidenfeller's injury

He is a shoe-in for Robbie Kruse' position in the starting side at WC with Leckie up top. Counter-attacking force with his speed.

Haven't seen him dribble much tonight, but they love playing that angled ball in behind the left-fullback so Halloran can chase it down with his blistering speed. Few nice one-touch passes and cushioning bring downs to hold possession.

looks like david fucking beckham with those locks, playing right wing, and #23 on his back but haha if only he had the same dead-ball ability :(

is that 4 goals in 4 games?

3 in 3 I think.

still good form

is there a vid for this goal?

Assist for Halloran.

3-0, involved in that one too. Good ball in from the wing.

any description of the goal?

Fuck yeah Halloran. Tearin' that shit up. Buli2 is where it's at!

The video of is goal isn't working for some reason, here's the assist.

Halloran has to start at the world cup with oar on the left. Ange clearly wants rogic to start. If that is the case if rogic can get those balls through space in behind the defenders with Halloran and oar getting the onto those from the wide areas, I would put Leckie up front for a tap in since he could get away from his defenders.

Good to see another young lad do well, 3 in the last 3 games, 4 all combined in his first season in Europe.

Not Bad.

Yeah I think he may have just booked a ticket for Brazil with these recent performances. Would still have Troisi ahead of him though.

Ryan, Langerak, Galekovic

Spiranovic, Sainsbury, Good, Ognenovski, Wilkshire, Davidson, Franjic

Jedinak, Milligan, Leckie, Bresciano, Oar, Holland, Sarota, Rogic, Troisi, Halloran

Cahill, Kennedy, Vidosic

7 (in the preliminary squad): Jones, McGowan, Zullo, Luongo, Bozanic, McKay, Taggart,

I like the squad, but I would try very hard to fit Luongo and Taggart in the squad. Perhaps at the expense of Vidosic and Holland/Sarota. I question whether Troisi, Vidosic, Rogic all fit in the same squad.

I reckon this will pretty much be the squad. I can see Ange bringing McKay though purely for his versatility. If that's the case, I hope it's for Vidosic. He's had plenty of chances and never really done much in my opinion.

This is looking good maybe Wilkinson for Og has been getting good game time against quality ACL opposition. Mercela for Good think his injury will mean he is just to much underdone and Taagart for Bresciano with Vido moving to midfield 6 games in 6 months for Bresc going into a World Cup at his age is pretty risky. Otherwise this is solid

More of our players should consider Buli2.

Wilkinson and cornthwaite have caused irreparable damage to k-league players for socceroos campaign

This is pretty much the squad I would want except Taggart in for Vidosic. Not because he is better, but because it will be good to take an up and coming number nine given our lack of depth in that position. Maybe he could get game time in the final match if we lose the first two matches and therefore have no chance of qualifying out of the group.

I would hate to think Wilko's one mistake for the national team overrides his entire playing career and fantastic form in the K-League this season. He's had a total of 20 minutes for Australia; give the guy a break.

So, certainty to get game time in the last match. :lol:

Yeah, pretty much.

Hence the value of his selection in the squad.

Hrm very close I'd say. Tho, I'd take a backup option for Davidson at LB at the expense of one of Holland, Sarota, Rogic, Troisi, vidosic or Halloran.

Also I'd agree with another poster taking a younger 3rd choice striker for the experience. Taggart, Juric etc could be an option.

Yep. And, as you said, we're extremely thin in the strikers department. Should take a guy who just won the HAL Golden Boot...we don't have many better OS options to bring in.

Ryan, Langerak, Galekovic

Spiranovic, Sainsbury, Good, Wilkinson, Wilkshire, Davidson, Franjic

Jedinak, Milligan, Amini, McKay, Oar, Halloran, Rogic, Triosi, Bresciano

Leckie, Kennedy, Cahill, Taggart

7 (in the preliminary squad): McGowan, Rostyn Griffiths, Luongo, Sarota, Bozanic, Juric, Rukavytsya

Couple of leaps with Amini (been injured for months) and Taggart (better players available)...
I honestly think Taggart did himself in for non-selection at the u20 AFC where he was absolutely nothing burger. The worst.

Ryan (Langerak, Galekovic)
Franjic(Wilkshire)-Sainsbury(McGowan)-Spiranovic(Good)-Davidson(Good)
Jedinak(Brattan)-Milligan(Luongo)
Halloran(Troisi)-Rogic(Bresc)-Oar(Ruka)
Leckie (Cahill, Kennedy)

Omitted: Birighitti, Juric, Taggart, Sarota, McKay, Brillante, Jovanovic

I heard some reports that Amini was recovering well and thought he could be my 'bolter' for the squad for future development. Unfortunately the following has just been reported.

Borussia Dortmund's U-23 team has the final sprint season without midfielder Mustafa Amini. The bone suffered in January compression sets the 20-year-old out of action for longer than previously expected.

As for Taggart I'm particularly concerned that he can't seem to score away from Hunter Stadium - but Ange's comments about the HAL and performing make it hard to think he won't make it.
