We're getting comfortably outplayed. Could have been 3 or 4 nil down after 10 odd minutes. As is 1 nil down flatters us. Which players should I look out for, for us?

playing a false 9

anyone recognize these players?


——————Ajonovic————————-

—pullella- -nichola—necovski—thomas—


————macnicol houridis alfaro———


————————aren—————————

——————tatu —graoroski—————


Yeah man 

MacNicol just scored and he has made a few A-League appearances. Tatu is very strong, Necovski is towering CB, Nichola is from NPL Adelaide United Youth.  They’re giving everyone a shot in this camp, not close to the best 11 but that makes sense. Most of the Euro players on the bench

Tatu number 11. MacNicol who scored and Necovski. Hopefully Treffiletti makes an appearance off the bench.

All over them now. Some really good technique from these kids. Not sure if thats normal for us at this level. Both teams terrible defending in transition.

drinks break

1-1 macnicol scored

I remember rogic and kewell being exceptional in that they could recieve the ball in poor body position and still beat an oponent or be effective.

Reckon half a dozen of these kids are in that category

Think McNicol has been our best. Houridis looks good. Tatu is quick with a good dribble but has misplaced some passes. A handful though. Ajanovic has been sharp in goals. Posted at 30'.

being effective in transition requires athletic prowess which should grow as they mature

Seems like they’re playing 30 mins intervals. I imagine similar to last time a complete different 11 will play later.

My thoughts too. I think we've been good when the balls in dispute but once out in space we look really vulnerable. Think it's the nature of the age group.

Man even with a random assortment of 11 players, it’s very evident how high this teams ceiling is. Excellent technical ability is the basis for every player

The effort from Alfaro deserved a goal not the cross bar. Necovski is very good at CB.

I reckon the Swiss players have looked frustrated. Have left some studs out in their tackles.

So we win 2-1? Some decent talent on display and a continuation of the large technical improvement within our players to the top standard overseas.

The No.10, McNicol and Tatu looked like our best players all with strong technical ability and 1v1 ability.

Hard to judge on a one off game but this group looks to be better than the last Joeys group which is quite encouraging considering some of the talent on display and some are starting to play in the a-league, I expect for their development to continue then playing in the a-league is a must, ideally they play in the NSD or an updated version of the NYL where they can get year competition. 

Very encouraged by the future with the amount of talent coming through, a shame the people running the game do such a poor job running the sport.

Who's the big CB with the captains armband? He's fantastic. Massive presence and so good with the ball for such a big guy.
