+xEngland playing Foden and Palmer up top with Saka and Gordon on the wings. Maybe something for Australia to consider. Say McGree and Hrustic as an example. Lots of passing and movement. I imagine England will be looking for Saka and Gordon at the far post or cutting back. 2 6's in midfield. Goodwin's roaming was an asset against China. Seeing him on the right shows preferred foot is less relevant when they're good at cutting in. 1 nil down. Honeymoon might be quick for the new english coach

+x+x+x+xWe'll qualify because it's basically impossible not to and just be one of many teams making up the numbers But you never know we might uncover another wonder kid in the next 18 months If we don't bottle it that gives us 2-years to get our shit together. I think there's the bones of a good side. Our more exciting players will benefit from experience in that time. Agree with this... Robertson, Farrell, Bos, Irankunda, Circati, Volpato, Bennie, Hollman, Milanovic, Bennie, Toure should all really come on in that time Two Bennies are better than one. Poached with hollaindaise and bacon.

May not last long.

+xDo they know what caused the death, so sad. Its heartbreaking mate... The guy was supposed to fly back to UK for his son's first birthday yesterday ... The Greek media are still saying accidental drowning and coroner says no "foul play" I guess ... just have to wait to see if anything else comes out..... Life is a bitch sometimes, who knows, if he didnt pick up a small niggle last weekend and not be in contention for the national team, he could have flown with the squad to London on Monday and still be alive.... farkin hell sometimes.....

Plus there's quite a few young guns coming through behind them as well

Plus there's quite a few young guns coming through behind them as well 2003 as a birth year is insane...really curious whether it is an outlier or a new normal. Here is a full list of players born 2003 worth watching GK: Beach Defenders: Paull, Simmons, Circati, Triantis Mids: Robbo, Holman, Alagich, Valadon, Priestman Forwards: Rodriguez, Volpato, Toure, Drew, Grimaldi, Dukuly That single birth year has the potential to be as good as some socceroos teams. Our best ever birthyear before 2003 had a mere 4 players break into europe's 2nd tier or higher before 24. I'm expecting 8-10 from 2003 with 5 already broken through

Can see this system is very suited to Bos and Mcgree. Bos is highly effective as the most outside player with his speed and crossing. Mcgree meanwhile loves to play in that little pocket between the wing and AM, and so it came to pass that in that 2nd half, the left flank of Bos and Mcgree inside him looked very dangerous. Over on the right side Hrustic would be very suited to that inside winger/wide AM position and I think leckie or metcalfe would be effective as the RWB going past him.
If we can nab Volpato, he also will be suited to playing in these half spaces. Then up top Yengi, Duke and Toure are all suited to play as the hold up striker.
Just need Luongo or Robertson back in that midfield 2 to act as the deep lying distributor and we will have an effective system.
