He was immense against England at Wembley. Not sure what position he was playing. Most likely out wide on the right

I watched the game. Meh. He is not a ‘proper’ winger- same as Bos isn’t - but at least Bos has good skills as a left back. I remember Baccus was good. Will be very surprised if Metcalfe will survive Bundesliga - especially with new coach

Just so much easier against a side that was very naive in their high line. Played right into our strengths. Can only hope some teams in the next round make a similar mistake.

With the omissions from this squad we've got some really good depth now and they all know the set up. The first match day is home to pot 4 and away to 6. 6 points are a must. 

Missed that game, but I do wonder if he’s best trying to become a right side specialist, as a winger or even right back, especially at B1 level. I’m I unconvinced about him in the centre of the park. 

Wouldn't worry too much about Metcalfe's shortcomings.

The talent from the 23 and under players coming through is high in quality and quantity. ATM Metcalfe is an Arnie favourite, because of his terrific work rate off the ball, and being a muscular, power, central midfielder.

I have seen approx 10 younger Aus midfielders coming  through, with superior technique on the ball to Metcalfe. A number of them can defend too. Apart from having a big current advantage in experience, Metcalfe's time as a senior Socceroo for a  starting player won't last long if all the young  midfielders keep  improving at the rate they are.

The likes of Jake Hollman, gets his head up when running  with the ball or dribbling. Ditto Lachlan Brook. This enables them to make better decisions when they have the ball at their feet, than the likes of Metcalfe and Irvine.

Although playing  slightly different positions, the likes  of Niuewenhof, probably cover Metcalfe in most aspects of play - ball winning, ball playing, insight - apart from attacking prowess.

Can't see Metcalfe or McGree playing Right Wing again if the likes of a resurgent Arzani, Irankunda, Boyle and Brook are available.

They panned the camera to Maty sitting in the stands with an absolute gorgeous woman sitting next to him... I'm assuming it was his misses.

She’s a lucky woman!

I noticed her too!
