as others has said. missing out on russia is the kick up the backside we need to get the national development system back on track because it is failing at the moment, youth development is at an all time low. however of course we all want to qualify.

It shouldnt take missing out on a world cup to realise this. Id still rather qualify

Mooy gets played too high up the pitch and luongo has been constantly average in that dm role.Rogic struggles more than anyone on rubbish pitches due to his style of play

I don't think luongo has shown enough to be in the squad, he's done nothing since the asian cup...

I think sometimes we put too much weight in what country a player is playing in, rather than whether a player is actually playing well. Whether that may mean you have to weigh up players that are playing in the championship against players that are playing well in the a-league or other lower rated league's.

Agree with the sentiment but the example is poor.  Luongo has been on fire at QPR and is often player of the month and in teams of the week.

Does this obsession of yours not seem a bit sad to you?
