+x+x+x+xSome Pencils come with erasers, the final 26 is not for couple more weeks, there is always room for change. No way could he take Ruka over Jamie given current form I thought the 26 gets announced early next week.
In-form Jamie Maclaren's 2018 FIFA World Cup hopes have been dashed with Socceroos coach Bert van Marwijk opting to leave him out of his 26-man squad for this month’s training camp in Turkey.
UPDATEDUPDATED 1 HOUR AGO
BY DAVE LEWIS
The on-loan striker signed off for the season with a hat-trick for Hibernian in their 5-5 draw with Rangers in the Scottish Premiership overnight, to take his tally to eight goals in 13 games since arriving in the UK.
But celebration quickly turned to exasperation for the 24-year-old, who has excelled since joining Hibs on loan from 2.Bundesliga Darmstadt 98 in January.
Jamie Maclaren
Hat-trick helps Maclaren's World Cup hopes
Maclaren is Australia's form forward, with the goals drying up for Tomi Juric in Switzerland and 38-year-old Tim Cahill racking up just 64 goalless minutes during his brief sentimental stint with maiden club Millwall at the back end of the Championship season.
He was justifiably anticipating showing Australia's Dutch coach what he can do in Turkey, before the bombshell decision to cull him from the 32-man provisional squad was made.
The 26 players bound for Turkey will be officially be announced on Tuesday - 23 of whom will be on the plane to Russia when the final cut comes in early June.
Colombia v Australia - friendly international match
Socceroos to confront doubters in Russia, says Schwarzer
The decision to deny him the chance to flourish face-to-face in the boot camp planned for Antalya from May 19, will leave many fans scratching their heads.
With Maclaren's treble joy short lived, he will now look to resolve his club future as he refocuses towards January's 2019 AFC Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
He has two years left on his contract in Germany but having barely featured since signing from Brisbane Roar, Maclaren - who holds a UK passport - is keen to pursue his future in England.

There's nothing stopping them from taking 27 to Turkey.
JMac might have to sleep on the floor but I'm sure he won't mind.

JMac was too one dimensional when he was in the A League. I haven't watched him in Scotland, but he shouldn't go unless he's added some more facets to his game.

Also reports that Bailey Wright and Alex Gersbach are another two players who won't be joining the squad in Turkey - source

+xGersbach missing out is a big disappointment to me Gersbach looked OK the couple of times I saw him play, but there's obviously something deficient there. Struggled to break into an average Norwegian team and now plays for a poor 2nd division French club, where his spot in the starting 11 isn't exactly guaranteed (I think he's been left on the bench a few times). It's just not good enough. He hasn't earned a Socceroos spot.

Bailey Wright was poor at right-back vs Norway against pace, so deserves to be cut.
Considering only one of Karacic and Risdon likely to go in 23, then some cover required there. Degenek and Milligan probably the stronger back-ups

Degenek, Jurman, Sainsbury and Susnjar the centre halves if Bailey Wright is cut? I find it hard to believe he'd pick Susnjar and Degenek over Wright...

Lol this - why are so many people critical of a goalscoring striker because he doesn't spend half of his time in defence 'tracking back'? Because he tends to disappear and contribute nothing when he has no service. Cahill can always pop up with a freak header, and Juric holds the ball up bringing others into play. MacLaren is good at tap-ins and not much else. I'd still take him to Turkey at least because he seems to be in good form, but he's not the type of striker that suits the Socceroos at the moment.

Lol this - why are so many people critical of a goalscoring striker because he doesn't spend half of his time in defence 'tracking back'? It's not about tracking back, his work rate is fine. Good strikers still get involved in the play when they're not scoring, something Maclaren severely lacks. In all of his games for the Socceroos he has been on the periphery and hasn't impressed at all. Suddenly he scores a hat trick and it's full blown meltdown mode that he's not picked over players who have played well for the Socceroos. We're not a good enough team at World Cup level to give him the type of service he needs to be effective.

We're not a good enough team at World Cup level to give him the type of service he needs to be effective. He creates a lot of opportunities with his off the ball. I think players who are good off the ball (McLaren Kruse and Holman) tend to get underrated by fans No opinion on whether he is good enough for our 23 My biggest worry with him is he takes a while to climatize to a team and missed easy chances early in each season before exploding late in the season

We're not a good enough team at World Cup level to give him the type of service he needs to be effective. it's not suddenly. he just came of the back of a golden boot. had a shitty club transfer but has managed to salvage his season with a smart loan - something rarely done for an o/s aussie when they get a shitty club transfer. really it comes down to how BVM sets up. you look at how neil lennon had celtic set up, they also had a smaller striker, griffiths, working angles and runs into the box like maclaren does. im not surprised that maclaren is fitting in well under him. the issue for the NT has just been how the manager has set up the team. if you are sitting back with a lone striker to take long balls, then maclaren is not your man. you play on the front foot and press and he is. you get playmaking wings that also cut in and take shots on goal and maclaren will do well. you get 2 wings that hug the sideline and lob in crosses and maclaren is not your man.

Nothing to do with the hatrick at all, he is the most consistent striker at the moment who has 8 goals in 15 games, 11 starts and deserves to be there plain and simple. Whats the incentive of playing well at your club regulary while others are getting selected for sitting on the bench, not playing regular or getting selected for past achivements.

+xGersbach missing out is a big disappointment to me While he is promising he is clearly the 3rd best option, Meredith has been a rock for Milwall all season while Gersbach failed to get into the Rosenborg squad and hasn't done as much in Ligue 2 either. So much so he has been moved to midfield and the wing.

Unfortunately I didn't because streams were impossible to find For rosenbourg he lost his place to a youngster and started to fall behind in terms of game tome Still very highly rate him. He missed the occasional game for his French side but hard to say whether it was form suspension or injuries I've been very impressed with him for the roos particularly in the confeds

So much so he has been moved to midfield and the wing. Have u seen him in ligue 2? Unfortunately I didn't because streams were impossible to find For rosenbourg he lost his place to a youngster and started to fall behind in terms of game tome Still very highly rate him. He missed the occasional game for his French side but hard to say whether it was form suspension or injuries I've been very impressed with him for the roos particularly in the confeds He hasn't completely cemented his place at left back in Ligue 2, he is definitely talented but based on absolutely every measure he hasn't had as strong of a season as Meredith the biggest of which is the fact he has played a quarter of the minutes of Meredith.

+x+x+x+xGersbach missing out is a big disappointment to me While he is promising he is clearly the 3rd best option, Meredith has been a rock for Milwall all season while Gersbach failed to get into the Rosenborg squad and hasn't done as much in Ligue 2 either.

Honestly, if it's between Gersbach and an anonymous Championship grafter like Meredith, I'd pick the former any day. If it were up to me though, I would cut them both tomorrow. Gersbach hasn't done anywhere close to enough, and Meredith sounds pretty shit in general (plus he's old).

+xJMac was too one dimensional when he was in the A League. I haven't watched him in Scotland, but he shouldn't go unless he's added some more facets to his game. That's one more dimension than most of the rest of the squad
