Some random halftime thoughts:

This pitch is absolute trash. It’s having an obvious impact on our ability to play football on the deck.

Atkinson just looks so comfortable in his natural RB position. So much nicer watching him here vs when Milicic had him playing CM for the Young Socceroos a couple of months ago.

Vujica hasn’t impressed me. Our weakest link so far imo.

Piscopo - believe the hype. Looks like another Arzani. Can’t wait to see this kid on a real grass pitch.

Holmes
Atkinson/Wilson/Mourdoukoutas/Vujica
Baccus/Oneill
Champness/Mcgree/Dagostino
Piscopo

Also - Arnie IN!

@chondro

I think Piscopo is playing LW with D’Aggers at ST.

Some real promising players in this age bracket, Piscopo, Arzani and Mcgree will be Socceroos mainstays imo. Same with Folami if he wasn't injured, he always looked a class above everyone else in the team.

Atkinson is a gun. Is Vujica a CB or LB and what's he playing as tonight? 
Piscopo is so interesting and needs to be watched. It's frustrating how many talents just get brushed off and end up somewhere without confidence and are never heard of again. 

Wilson CB? isn't he a mid? He's quite tall though. 

what sort of injury does folami have?
know when he returns?

and there goes the feed

Arnie broke him

mine still running

Fuckers

Guessing ankle or knee but basically nothing too bad to stop him from joining in pre season. 

Problem is we should be slotting a couple more home by about the 90'.

But if we meet a semi decent team, we fold at the first sign of having to play harder. 

Atkinson going down in this shit game is worrying because that is soft as shit. 

Try the link given in the last page of the thread, still working for me. 

pffft, some of these asian nations (Philippines is another) are flat our cry baby sooks. Can't win so just start acting like full on losers

beatiful goal

Early days..but good signs

5:0 Waring

fffs Piscopo, should be at least 6

pasquali looks decent but we already knew that

first time I've seen piscopo

at times looks class but some poor finishes. Glad he got a nice goal though

Do you mean genreau?

6:0. As it should be. Sk the big one however. 

Olyroos win 6-0. A lovely, composed and professional performance from the team.

Some more random thoughts:

Jordan Holmes looked solid in goals. Didn’t have too many saves to make but handled a few difficult crosses and corners comfortably.

Brandon Wilson was sensational at CB. Has he played there before? I’ve only ever seen him play CDM at Perth but his composure tonight was excellent, as was his Sains-esque passing. Seems very vocal and a natural leaders too.

Koutroumbis came on at RB for Atkinson around 60’ and was unfortunately shocking. Just slow slow slow. He’s supposed to be fresh having come off the bench but the dude legit refused to run. In attack he wouldn’t chase after a through-ball unless it was passed right to his feet, and in defence he would actually stand still on occasion and get dribbled around. Very disappointing as he looked uninterested compared to the rest of the team who were giving their all.

Pearce Waring looked very very good. His time in Japan seems to be going wonders for his development as his first touch and passing were excellent when he came on, and he scored with a nice finish.

McGree and Piscopo are the heartbeat of this team. The two of them assisted almost every goal tonight.

Piscopo very unlucky to score and became visibly frustrated towards the end of the match. Deserved a goal himself but had 3 assists so can’t complain about his performance.

@johnszasz

Vujica is a LB and was playing LB tonight.

From what I understand he hasn’t been Newcastle’s first choice LB this season, although was last season (correct me if I’m wrong).

He actually improved in the second half. The first half he gave the ball away a little too often and seemed to struggle with the pitch more than most players, needing two or three touches to control a pass to him.

Compare that to how Atkinson receives the ball. A massive switch from the other side of the field is rocketed to Atkinson and he kills it dead with his first touch. Such a quality footballer, would love to see him fast-tracked to the Socceroos. Just wish Joyce would fuck off so he can go back to getting game time at City.

id say a full squad change next game.

ah so piscopo didn't score

excellent player at times but gee his finishes were bad

hope he improves

Arnie being coach here is good in that they all get exposure to how things are run. Suddenly we'll have a number of players ready to move up in the near future.
