SOCCEROOS v Japan

[dudley]

line up anyone against japan


i think bresciano should start with herd and holman, great bermuda triangle in the centre midfiels spots

pace needed out wide with williams and zullo

brosque or the big man kennedy upfront

I didn't realise Williams was a pacey winger?

[dudley]

he is young fit and fairly quick

he is young fit and fairly quick

when has he played on the wing?

[dudley]

fullbacks are on the wing/flanks mate, doc do you want me to explain the way fullbacks play these days it aint the 1950s anymore.

yes they overlap, what a revolutionary post you put up there, thats different to playing as a wide midfield player, a full backs first job is to defend, then if able to, join in with the attack

[dudley]

hence why cassio wont make the socceroos, he cant defend

[Stuckey]

Watching Japan play ATM damn they look good! I'm very worried!

Agreed.
Here are the highlights... http://footballdiscussion.net/2012/06/j ... #more-1819

Jordan at home remember, going to Jordan is much different, Japan had one of those nights, don't read too much into it, be more worried with our form

[Knight15]

have no idea what Holger was thinking v Oman should have played strongest team, we will be lucky to draw with Japan need to look at finishing second in group

Can't see how we can beat Japan on current form.

[redmum]

I will be there!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heading off tomorrow

[Armageddon]

Japan by 3 goals.

[Stuckey]

Japan by 3 goals.

5 if Archie gets gametime again.

[Theatre of Dreams]

Need to have faith lads! We're much more organised and will hopefully shut down they're attacking players more effectively and pose a larger threat going forward. Am worried about the effect Kagawa will have and our travelling turn around. ie Japan going to Oz and Australia going from Oman to Oz

[dudley]

the japs aint that good, they have just played average sides at home!!!!

[Steve#4]

Australia 1-0 in a scrappy game...

[Bomber]

1-1

[Red-4-Life]

We need a much stronger line-up out there tonight...Kennedy, Cahill...

Were some big duds out there last game such as Thompson and North. A loss and Japan will be well on their way to topping the group, leaving us to battle it out for 2nd place.

[matrightyeh]

cant wait for this going to be great

Aus starting side: Schwarzer Neill Cahill Ognenovski Wilkshire Carney North Valeri McKay Brosque Bresciano

Please Holger...get rid of Milligan, North, Valeri , Carney & that useless bloke up front Brosque.
Bring back Kennedy, Jedinak, Holman & Herd.
we have had some golden chances but it falls to flogs, not the stars!

I agree with Kennedy. Why wouldn't you play last years highest goal scorer in the Japan league against Japan? IMO Valeri and Jednak are like for like. Not sure why Holman isn't playing but Herd is definately injured.

Because when he is there all Australia want to do is lump it....Can't help themselves..
Too predictable.
carney has been good, North better than normal....Valeri not good so far, made at least 4 mistakes that I count. Milligan wouldn't have expected to be on so early and took time to adjust.

Brosque has been great....one of our better players.

[Stuckey]

Wow what a lousy call from the ref. Shocking red. He has completely ruined this match.
