bet you fucken Holman the wanker gets a seat on the plane.
Carle is a much better player and would of offered us a better attacking option off the bench

I just don't get it!

The squad of 31 had 4 technically gifted play-makers: Kewell, Culina, Bresciano and Carle.

Players who can do the unexpected; the pass that cuts through the most disciplined defence.

What is it about Nicky Carle - that I don't see - and makes managers overlook him???

well that settles it, Carles going to sydney. Dumb decision to axe Mcdonald. sure he ahsnt scored any goals at int level but its a bit hard when hes only 5ft 7 and he hvaing the ball played in the air to him. Fuck this formation! We barely have any striekrs as it is and he cuts another. Carle getting cut ahead of holland who has been playing az ressies all season is bullshit. I dont care if hes young and hes in it for the exp its just bullshit. North i expected to go, but i was expecting the 3 to be north holland and lowry.

Feel sorry for Carle never given a fair go the lad.

Cue Jesse Fink meltdown in 3-2-........

Its like Verbeek just doesnt care anymore. Sure youre leaving after the world cup mate, but we actually want to do well in it

Carle is a one trick pony. He has done stuff all in an Australian shirt, and he has done stuff all at club level other than having a good run at Newcastle where the league was fairly shit at the time anyway.

It's not enough just to be gifted anymore. You actually have to kick on and do something with that gift, and keep working hard at maintaining form.

what the FUCK?!

I've lost complete faith in Pim. He takes JAMES HOLLAND (who i love) over Nicky Carle? Fuck giving youth experience this is the world cup it's not the time to be giving youth "experience" it's about taking our best players.

FUCKING BULLSHIT.

Holland, Oar and perhaps Lowry will be in the 4 that travel but don't end up playing. He's not going to make experienced players like Carle and Macdonald go to South Africa to do nothing, they would prefer a holiday. Then their is likely a 4th who is genuinly their in case their is an injury.

Can't believe how many strikers we are taking.. It's like hes not even trying to hide the fact that we arn't going to score goals.

OK, he decided to bring James Holland? Seriously? I can understand bringing Brett Holman, but James Holland? Over Carle or McDonald? Unbelievable.

Jesse should be happy. Carle is coming to Sydney, and he's always very well dressed.

I'm just wondering what would have happened if Carle had come on for the last 5 mins and scored that goal instead of Holman...

So now MacDonald can continue to not score goals for Australia without us having to worry about his accommodation and transport in South Africa.

I guess this shows that if we go behind we won't be pushing two strikers up forward.

mcdonald not going gives me confidence that harry is going to be right to go.

the bias towards dutch based players is amazing....holman has had the preferential treatment the whole time despite not being anywhere near the player carle is......james holland in there because he plays ressies for a dutch team when other youngsters such as kilkenny, wesolowski, nathan burns etc. have been doing great guns for their first teams and can't get a look in.

on a more positive note (yes - sarcasm) we have 85 defensive midfielders in the squad.....grella, culina, valeri, jedinak, wilkshire, williams, emerton are all strong in this position (anyone think this is overkill)....oh and holland believes this is his strongest position too

very, very surprised about scotty mac. we are extremely thin up front.....if jesus gets injured and harry is still under a cloud then I am worried....ruka has pace but isn't really a strong/skilful target man.

Are you surprised?

All our goals come from Midfield or the occasional Kennedy fluke anyway. I'm not really sure why people are losing their shit over this like it's the biggest shock in the world.

We know what type of manager Pim is. We know what style and formation he plays. We know the type of players he likes.

I was way more surprised with the colour of my belly-button lint this morning.

Was it yellow? Because mine was.

scotty mac would have been bullied by our opponents at the world cup as well as nicky carle as for jade north ? the fact remains our opponents are physically strong and we all know scotty mac and nicky carle would struggle against big strong opponents.

can't believe carle missed out ... i rate him highly, heck if i was manager i would even try and fit him in the starting line up somewhere!

No your right, now were locked into a system that doesn't work for us with no back up plan. He may not have scored for us yet but you can't argue with the fact that the lad knows where the goal is at club level. Add to that he's experience and the fact that it is probably only a matter of time before he actually starts putting them away.

I have faith in him and would like to see the coach have some as well.

I'm not surprised, a little bit about Scott not going maybe.
I thought even thou he hasn't scored he did play well last night considering, and against the Irish i thought he played well without scoring.

It is exactly for that reason that I thank fuck that you're not the Socceroos manager.

totally spot on thebender, totally spot on. Why do we have so many DM? Like WTF? Nathan Burns is doing alright as of late. He scored a few goals for his Greek first team. And yet he gets omitted for a guy named Holland who plays reserves and zero first team games. Unbelievable.

By the way how many goalies??.... Four! what the fuck.

Speaking of DM's, I hope Grella is there to shine boots, because out of ALL our DM options, he is the worst by a country mile.

Second best centreforward might be Chippers. Agree about the 85 DMs! But also needs backups for the walking wounded. Lowry for Williams, Oar/Ruka for Kewell. Goalkeepers for Schwarz.

walnuts you're a fool. You don't know the socceroos. Just because Grella played a horrible game last night and did a really bad foul on another player, doesn't make him our worse DM. He IS our best DM. Better than culina, valeri, wilkshire and flipping James Holland!

He's taking 28... Galekovic is going in case if Jones, Federici or Schwarz gets an injury before the final deadline for the squad announcement

I have to admit, your tears taste pretty darn sweet. :cool:
