thinking about this more, this team is not a team of 11 but a team of 23 and we HAVE to rotate so we aren't gassed by the third game like the last 2 world cups
our 2nd best player in each position is very close to as good as the first
Rogic, mooy, mcgree, hrustic and genreau all competing for 2 midfield positions
tillio, goodwin, leckie, Boyle are just a few competing for wing spots
every starting lineup should have a bunch of players that didn't play the last game

+xUsually a World Cup is held in the off-season, so it'll be interesting to see if we get any wildcards staking a claim off the first 2-3 months of next season. Really just hope we get some strikers in a rich vein of form. Taggart, D'Agostino, Cummings, Maclaren, Yengi (x2), Ruka, Stamatelopolous - anyone! I appreciate Duke's endeavour but really think we can do better. What's the latest on Deni Juric? Is he interested in representing Australia?

+xRogic will need to answer some questions if he’s to make it. Obviously he’s one of our best players, but he left the team high and dry for these qualifiers. he will make it. assuming he is fit to play GA wont not call him up

Am I mistaken but don’t they normally choose a preliminary squad of 50 first. Then have a camp with all 50? Also keep in mind that it’s inevitable that a few of the top 26 will be forced out by injuries - it always happens

We should be permitted an injury emergency replacement right before the first game if I remember correctly.

I'd prefer Miller at RB over Atkinson. Best RB in the a league last season & now playing at Hibs. If Souttar & Taggart are fit & Rogic is ok, we're going to have a lot stronger starting 11. Bring in the cumdog as well

+xSure we're only a few hours into the celebrations, but now the reality has set in - we're going to Qatar to play in the World Cup that should have been on our own turf. So who goes? IMO a lot of those players proved themselves and that they deserved to be there tonight, I hope the squads are bigger than 23 cause there are a few unlucky misses. No chance I would have had Duke on this list 6 hours ago but he was massive this morning. Souttar obviously comes in, then you've got the Rogic predicament - does he deserve to take part in this after sitting out of the qualifier? I've put him in but a big part of me wants to tell him to piss off, especially if Arnie is telling the truth that he didn't tell him why. I would go with this (obviously a lot can change before then). 1 Mark BIRIGHITTI 2 Andrew REDMAYNE 3 Mat RYAN 4 Nathaniel ATKINSON 5 Fran KARACIC 6 Kye ROWLES 7 Trent SAINSBURY 8 Harry SOUTTAR 9 Bailey WRIGHT 10 Aziz BEHICH 11 Jason DAVIDSON 12 Denis GENREAU 13 Ajdin HRUSTIC 14 Jackson IRVINE 15 Riley McGREE 16 Aaron MOOY 17 Tom ROGIC 18 Martin BOYLE 19 Mitch DUKE 20 Craig GOODWIN 21 Mathew LECKIE 22 Awer MABIL 23 Jamie MACLAREN Needs more strikers… Taggart for Duke Tilio for Goodwin D’agostino for Leckie Degenek for Atkinson Anyone for Davidson Need to find a spot for Luongo as well, unless some other defensive midfielder emerges between now and November.

The Facebook page paid tribute to everyone who participated in the campaign. Devlin wasn't there. He should be introduced at some point.

Ten is Hrustic's best position. Let’s hope there is time to unearth a striker. Maybe Iredale, D Juric, one of the 23’s will come through. I still reckon atm Cummings has more to offer than Duke, who tries hard with limited ability or the totally invisible Mc Claren. Not much around it would appear

I'm amazed at the number of Atkinson deniers on here.
Sure he struggled against UAE, but so would anyone against that superfast left winger that UAE used really well. He was strong in the Peru match and made numerous interceptions. On top of that he was one of the best players in the AL for Melb City, had an outstanding Olympics and has just had a cracking season for Hearts. He has a great engine, is a really creative player and loves a cross. As soon as he gets his confidence at international level he'll be a star.
Mind you, I also like Karacic. I thought he did have a pretty lousy game against... maybe Japan, can't remember... but otherwise hasn't let us down. It will be a good tussle between thos two.
There's a long time between now and November. My tip for a bolter is Garang Kuol, and if Cummings continues his form at the Mariners there'll be no way Arnie can leave him out. I think McLaren is a fantastic striker at AL level, but we just don't seem to know how to use him in the Socceroos. He's in danger of missing out.

Atkinson was incredibly challenged but let's calm down. Someone like Wright stood tall who we expected to fail. Hrustic was very raw a few years ago and many questioned his international level. Can't wait to see Atkinson develop.
I think Arnold could find a good role as a youth scout and mentor in future. Some kind of liaison role.

He still frustrates me 70% of the time but he has stood up in big moments so is hard to criticise too heavily

I think McLaren is a fantastic striker at AL level, but we just don't seem to know how to use him in the Socceroos. He's in danger of missing out. Yes Atkinson certainly is worthwhile persevering with .The UAE match was a tough learning curve for him( Arnie said post match that he allowed his opponent to face him and that player was fast and skilful and left him for dead).In the Peru game he was onto his opponent and hassling him,hence the yellow card,but he defended well as did Karacic when he replaced him.Atkinson was not able to give full rein to his attacking role in either game but this may have been part of Arnie's overall match plan.Also in the second game there was better communication between Wright and Atkinson and Mooy and Boyle also helped out. There is a good crop of young fullbacks coming through-Miller,Bos.Rawlins,Farrell,King and hopefully Gersbach .

I was watching this video of Harry Souttar being part of the celebrations even though he's been out of the squad due to injury. The thought struck me that, Harry walking around the squad during the time he's been there, it's sending a message that, if Harry's on the plane, then one of the defenders who was part of the successful squad won't be going to the World Cup. I think a fit and in-form Souttar is a shoe-in. I wonder which defender will make way? Possibly Jason Davidson as he doesn't seem to have figured much in matches? https://twitter.com/LaurieHoresh/status/1536466656125657088

26 selections allows for a bit less of a headache. Davidson will unlikely be there as Elder will have a lot more game time before then as will King. With Souttar being a definite, I think Degenek had weaker cards. JRB will kick on while Stensness will also continue and has the versatility.

But against France, I’d say 3-5-2. We gave three really good central defenders in Sainsbury, Rowles and Souttar (if fit). Wright, although maybe more inconsistent, can also be really good. So you have a back three of those guys. And for that match, you bring in Atkinson for Karacic. Potentially a different fullback on the other side, too.

That's very true instead of the BVM 3 match lumped 11. Atkinson will be fine as a wing back with a back 3. Game vs France. Please consider Rowles with half a Scottish season. Ryan Sainsbury Souttar Rowles Atkinson Mooy Elder Hrustic Irvine Boyle Taggart Our bench. French bench. French water bottle crate. Redmayne.

Whose on the plane you ask? If you're asking who i think will go, as opposed to who i'd like to see go, i think it will be...
GK: Ryan, Vuk, Redders Rb: Atkinson, Karacic Rcb: Sains, Wright Lcb: Rowles, Souttar Lb: Behich, Goodwin Dm: Mooy, Irvine Cm: Hrustic, Genreau Cm: McGree, Rogic RW: Boyle CF: Taggart, Duke, Macca Lw: Leckie, Mabil.
Emergency- Tilio, Degenek, daggers
What i'd actually like to see: Ryan Sains Souttar Rowles Leckie Mooy Hrustic Behich Rogic Boyle Ruka
Bench: Birighetti, Redders; Atkinson, Deg, Wright, Goodwin; Holland, Luongo; Irvine; McGree, Arzani; Taggart;

+xI'd like to see Alou Kuol in the team. The guy can't hold the ball and very bad first touch. Other than the Scorpion kick he was almost useless in U23 Asian cup.
