+xMcGree 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 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

+x+x+x+xAnd Ikonomidis is another one to fit Into the forward 3! Forgot about him! Hard to see Ikon making it in with players like Hrustic, Mabil, Leckie, Boyle, Arzani and Borrello. He needs to make the next step up. +xI see him more as a goal scoring box to box midfielder than attacking midfielder. He could play alongside Mooy or sub on for Mooy depending on the opponent or tactics. I don't think this would work. Needs to be higher up. We need a player next to Mooy that takes a load off his shoulders in possession. Wouldn't mind seeing O'neil get a shot alongside Mooy against Nepal or Chinese Taipei. IMO its a battle between Ikon, Mabil and Arzani for the starting roles in wide areas. Ikon scores more goals than the other two. Hrustic is probably next in line while the other 3 need to re discover their club form to genuinely challenge Matthew Leckie, 28 years old, 63 caps for Socceroos says hello. technically not even near Arzani or Hrustic.. once his pace has gone it will difficult for him..

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)

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.

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.

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

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

An interesting prospect of Arzani and Mcgree backed up by Mooy and Irvine.
Could be a quality midfield

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.

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?

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

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" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZsJo7ZKdjQ

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

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.

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

Second striker, rather than number 10.
