Mooy benched.

Yeah so am hearing Ange is leaving Mooy on the bench. Interesting decision. Not one i'd make.

Benching our best player in the biggest game in ages. If we scrap a shitty 2-1 win I'm waiting for Ange to talk up an inspiring coaching decision.

Sounds like Leckie going to wing back too

Surely this is also the game for Goodwin to play on the left?

Was the last game Mooy didn't play the game against Chile? We seemed to put in a decent enough performance that day. 

Rogic should flourish as the main man then tonight if he starts.

I feel like that was the impetus for putting Ruka on in the last game...

He's probably being punished for moving the ball into dangerous areas too quickly and effectively rather than prioritising aimless possession.

Some people on Twitter saying that Mooy is on 2 yellows, and another one tonight would see him suspended for the first of the next round of games (if we make it). 

Tonight is do or die so you need your best players playing.
Masterstroke if we win, sacked in the morning if we lose. Guess it doesn't matter anyway as Ange will step down if we lose.

Yeah, he's on 2 yellows. It's also Ange likely starting Rogic and many of us on here have complained about Mooy and Rogic starting together.
More of a line up like the Chile game would be nice, which didn't include Mooy.

He stated months ago that when we are eliminated from the world cup, whether during the qualifying period or at the finals his tenure is over. 
Don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out Ange I reckon.

For sure play him if we do qualify then he is on 2 yellows for an away game in central america. If he starts and we do well maybe an on purpose yellow if we have the game in the bag ? 

Can't concentrate at work now
Having daynightmares of a 2-2 result

If it weren't at 2:00 am PST on a workday, I'd watch. Good luck from California!

Last game he didnt play was against Japan. 

And surely if the suspension thing is true, you play him tonight go and hope if he gets a yellow he misses the first leg of the next tie rather than the second leg?

Exactly

I saw someone mention that the cards reset after this round (no idea if that's true). 

Hope you are wrong.... 

Not that sad if Rogic that Mooy is benched ... as a unit they have not fired that well ... 

First source sounds a bit dubious. Mooy served a suspension for getting those two yellows.

I can't find anything saying that you have to serve another suspension if you get a third and it seems kind of unlikely...

Could possibly be the only explanation so you guarantee him playing both next legs.

Either way you play your best available team to get the result available in front of you. "Saving" him for a potential away tie in central america is crazy for so many reasons.

This feels like madness to me.
Rogic is likely to get kicked out of the game and go hiding after 20 minutes whereas Mooy can set the tempo from a bit deeper.

Jesus damn hell I am nervous

So do I my friend...so do I.

4-0 Australia. 

Kruse to get hacked down. 

The Syrians will bring the physical dynamic tonight-again. If they score first, that will throw such a spanner in the works!.
Nan feels this will be the team tonight for the Socceroos;
                                                  Cahill
  Smith (prefer Goodwin)       Rogic       Kruse         Leckie
                                   Irvine                Milligan (c)       
                     Degenek           Sainsbury            MacGowan
                                                  Ryan

Mooy    Juric   Troisi   Jurman

I think we're going to destroy them. I predict 4-1. 

Still no AFC youtube stream. Just have to do a search and some faithful person will have a Bein Arabic one no doubt. 

Too many great long passes in the first game. Ange wants more slow short passes around the back. 

I can't believe this. What a deadest spastic.

Ange surely to rotate a bit. If we manage to lead and then get another I can see Ange not bringing Mooy at all. Line up due in around 40min. 

Mooy played by far his best game in ages (a year maybe). And gets dropped. Ange makes no sense. 

I agree. It's so weird breaking up the positive momentum.
