Nice chances and attempts by Kuol. Got shoved off the ball once too. Hopefully more starts like that and the scorer points will come.

the ball was apparently going in for the second. What an incredible save by the keeper

Silly me of course Peupion is away with the Olyroos. EFL Cup tonight with Cheltenham on. JRB must have a knock as he's not featured the last two games. Iredale starting.

Theres a Keepup article on Italiano. He was used as a RB in a friendly v Bremen. It was during the intl break and a squad with 6 u23 players. Interesting positional switch. You wonder if Gladbach were paying attention to the Maurice Revello tournament.

He started playing RB for Gladbach's reserves long before the Olyroos played him there

He's played at RB for Gladbach U23 for a while. I hope he can finally get out of there and get a permanent deal at a Liga 3 team and play every week.

I reckon that's his future. There's a role in the NT for him there if he can get game time.

I wonder if Italiano should seek a move to Belgium/Switzerland/Netherlands/Buli 2 for a first team spot somewhere. I get the impression he isn't progressing much at Gladbach. If he could though!

He's been there how long ? It's not happening 
Playing youth post age 20 is a career killer

4.5 years now. Went at around 17. Injuries, Covid and silly club situations made it tricky for him at develop and advance. He's got to get out of there. Swiss league would be alright. He's not good enough for Bundesliga 2.

Agreed. Most of all we need left-backs. Our depth there is awful. Apart from Bos there is little coming through. Franco Lino is the exception.

What's happened with callum elder? 

He's at Derby County now. Ship has sailed and he didn't seem to fit the playing group. Always injured every window. Still got Gersbach, Smith, Davidson, Iredale for emergencies and these are seasoned professionals. Bos, Farrell and Mauragis the next gen. Rowles in emergencies.

That surprises me re: Buli 2. I only really have Italiano's Aus youth football to go by (what I've watched) but thought he has looked good. It's so hard to judge how that translates and I'm not too familiar with Buli 2 so not well placed to say like you are. What does he need to develop to lift his standard? I think the Swiss league would be a good move.

4th* That's how seemingly bad and annoying it is for our players to get stuck there when they seemingly develop better in the A League to then go abroad.

Quite a few ex Bayern players have ended up in Bundesliga 2. They Bayern tag attracts. Lots of ex other Bundesliga U23 end in over the border or in the 3rd tier. Case by case of course though.

buli 2 has been great for our players. For some reason buli 3 and below has been pretty awful, worse than the spl. So germany does have that risk involved

Any chance Metcalfe will move central with Irvine out? Looked like a square peg in a round hole so far as a winger this season  imo. Feels like a bit of a Phil Jones where he is very good generally so is used to fill weak spots but it makes him look bad.

Goodwin scores a goal first game back. As much as I like Sammy Silvera, Goodwin is first choice left winger for the Roos. Best player in the A league last season by a mile!

I'd rather have McGree play #10 with O'Neill & Baccus/ Luongo behind him. Front 3 of Goodwin, Duke & Boyle.

Even now after watching all Socceroos games i still don't know what is the strength of Conor Metcalfe. Just a waste of space for the national team.

I can see McGree, Irvine, Boyle, Mabil, Borrello , Goodwin are important but Metcalfe has been poor.
