That's about right. I'd love to see that. 

Duke is valuable in the air , press from the front and hold the ball (even without scoring still very helpful). The Socceroos didn't have any other options.  Boyle is best as a winger. At the club they used to put him as a striker , didn't work well.

That is an 11 I'd like to see. It's got to be practiced. I'd be very keen to see if the apparent sharpness could work well amongst a group. 

What I don't like is the second NZ is going to be treated as a training session when I'd much rather the England game really be used to get some of the more pressing selection questions answered. 

You seem to forget the Keanu Baccus has started for Arnold since marking Messi. Keanu will start against England, not Luongo

Perhaps they should play next to each other then. Luongo is the head and Baccus adds the speed. Baccus is still very frustrating with his passing game. He's got time to lift more but I think he's starting to plateau.

That's because he in the SPL but St Mirren are currently second in the league.
Needs a move to a better league though.

Two nice goals by McGree. Yes, he needs the ball, service and space in those games, but how I'd love to see him pull the trigger more for the national team.

Fallen under the radar but Nieuwenhof has started the last two games for hearts and getting very good reviews from last night's game. 

Looks like he's started to adapt to the pace and showing them what he can do.

I think it's fine to mention. Interesting how NZ have top players in positions we've struggled. Cacace and Wood in a Roos shirt would be awesome. All fan fantasy of course.

Unless I'm mistaken Lyndon Dykes is a pretty pure product of Australian football and it is ironic how highly touted he is in the English and Scottish game.

Yeah positive. His long name on their vertical team list is easy to spot. Another who comes across as a bit slow or doesn't have enough moments to show for the Olyroos so hopefully the foot can be put down on the back of this level boost.

Dykes a Queenslander, Gold Coast from memory I think.

Jeggo has been Hibs MOTM for many supporters in last 2 games. Apparently transformed under Montgomery. Should make for an interesting midfield contest next week between Nieuwenhof and Devlin against Jeggo.

Nice headed goal by Faes. 4 mins later pLAy OuT FRoM tHE BaCK. FFS the keeper basically passes it to the rushing Blackburn player and they can slot it. Just go long for god sake. 

Meanwhile for Carlisle yesterday. That red card https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDYH9Fqv5dE&pp=ygUIY2FybGlzbGU%3D

He's a decent player. I felt he consolidated our midfield in the national team when we needed to win the ball. It's just unfortunate the ball he was foul of a pretty harsh VAR call against China and the Saudi penalty foul was badly timed on his part. I don't think he'll be back nor would he be interested in travelling for those preliminary round games as a squad filler.

Don't tell me Robertson meant that assist on 0:45. Wonderful. From a guy who seemed to be a media beat up protégé to actually doing it all out there. Great stuff.

Gilsenan didn't come off Blackburn bench but that's progress for making the squad.

A 1:0 loss against Young Boys with Laws playing a full game and Mabil coming on at half time.

Genreau back to the bench not great either!! Literally the worse time possible for some of our key players dropping mins or not even getting in the squad. Are we literally going to be torn to shreds by England in a fortnight?!!
