Similar to Toivonen, really. Second striker, rather than number 10.

Yep

Swipe right

no one really watches luongo huh... he was playing a deep lying 6 for ages.. barely got over the half way line

Riley McGree should model his game on Saul from Atletico Madrid, left footed, box to box and with a lot of energy.

There are no real DMs in here except for O'Neill, Jefgo at a pinch and Milligan who you have as a CB. Most of the players you have nominally as DMs operate more as box to box midfielders.

Notably 2 of those don't make your squad and the other is a coveribg CB.

Given he's quicker than Mileusnic, he's probably Australia's quickest footballer.

irvine as a RB or a #6? no. no. nope.

irvine's a 10. or a very attacking 8. he would be more suited as a second striker - probably even a #9 - than as a RB or #6

he did a job as a #6 for the NT and there was nothing but moaning about him on this forum. 

imo irvine should be treated like a cahill. probably similar to a "Raumdeuter"

He's actually really quick. 

.Riley McGREE (knee) anyone know how long he is injured till? 

Leave Grant out and play Irvine as a right back with Leckie as back up to him. That way you still gain the advantages Irvine offers with his aerial ability, strong running, speed etc

Who does McGree remind you all of? 

I can't readily think of a player he is like. He is a great dribbler, very solid/aggressive over the ball, not quick but very agile/sharp with turning with the ball a bit like Hrustic, and has a booming shot. 
I think i'd have to say the closest player he reminds me of is Joe Cole. Maybe Bresch as well, who Hrustic also reminds me off prob more so than McgRee. Maybe a bit of Steven Gerrard too with the aggression and the shooting

What do you guys think?  

My squad would be:

Starting:
                   Ryan
Leckie  Dege  Sains   Smith
            Mooy  Irvine
Boyle        Rogic      Arzani
               Taggart

In squad backups:
            Vukovic/ Langers
Grant    Milligan   Jurman     Behich
             Holland   Luongo
Hrustic         McGree           Mabil
                    McLaren

Emergencies to squad:
                     Dunno
  Risdon, Wright, Meredith, Elder 
               Jeggo, B Oneill,   
  Borrello        Ikon           Goodwin
                    Dykes

Agree with this. He can certainly be included but it will require a reshuffle of either Irvine to DM or to CF, Arzani to LW and Hrustic to RW. Mcgree thereby would be backup AM to Rogic. To be honest my 4 CM/DM's at this point would be Mooy and Irvine starters, with Luongo and Holland as backups. McGree backup no10 as mentioned above.  

An interesting prospect of Arzani and Mcgree backed up by Mooy and Irvine.

Could be a quality midfield

How could you possibly argue that when you don't know exactly what happened or the extent that each player was involved?

Pick him as the backup 10. Irvine can be a back up to Mooy while Hrustic can pay on the right. It is possible to be able to include all of McGree, Rogic, Irvine, Hrustic, Arzani and Mabil in the squad but we would have to only pick two striker and not three.

This is the squad I'd select:

Ryan
Grant Degenek Sainsbury Smith
Mooy Jeggo
Leckie Rogic Arzani
Taggart

With a second XI of:

Vukovic/Langerak
Risdon Wright Jurman Elder
Irvine Luongo
Hrustic McGree Mabil or Ikon
Maclaren

He played RWB under anges 3421 system and was probably our best player during this period. Likewise has been used there on occasion for Hertha also with great success.

He should have got the same ban as the others plus as Captain he should have known better.
But Arnie let the boys off the leash.

I've just noticed you commenting on him a lot lately (calling for bigger punishments etc) that's all.

No. I don't believe that he currently skillful enough to compete with top class players until he is playing regularly in Europe.

The only goal against a top 4 opposition this season against Melbourne City.
The other goals against Newcastle, Central Coast and Melbourne Victory (who this season seem to leaking goals)

Aha you really don't like him do you

Leckie has played right back for the Socceroos previously I'm pretty sure. 

technically not even near Arzani or Hrustic.. once his pace has gone it will difficult for him..

Currently, his position is left right out with the suspension from all national team activity.

And he won't be anything but a bench-warmer until he returns to Europe and proves himself. He returned to the A-league after failing in Europe.
He may take on minnows and do well but his shortcomings would be found out by any south American team and the likes of Japan and South Korea. 
So left right out is the correct position

McGree is just amother reason why Irvine and leckie need to be converted to CF and right back respectively. We just have so many options now at CM, AM, and Wing. I think both those guys could be top international standard in those positions 

Dont get the luongo hate on here... guy was best player in his championship side last 2 yrs and has started dominating with his new team 

This^ ppl just spouting borello based on "oh but hes playing in top 5". So did Richard garcia....

I genuinely hope he gets chosen for a Socceroos squad at the end of his ban. Really don't want Amini or Luongo there yet again.

Will need to keep the form up in a stronger league before he has any genuine claim to a squad spot. Unfortunately for Mcgree midfield is the one place we have plenty of options.
