I just read that wilko f*****d up giving away Ecuadors 4th goal

Given this was as much a trial as anything else for spots ... Ryan left with a clean sheet ... Mitch and Brad sent off and four goals ... Difficult to see Ryan not being given the starting spot..

Yep unless he suddenly looses confidence he is definately No. 1 - His distribution is a big plus
Mitch will be 2IC (Bad miss today)
3rd Keeper - Best seats in the house with no responsibility might have opened up a bit. I don't rate Jones Eugene for me

Wilko shouldn't have been put into the position he was by jones, but should have noticed the guy on the inside and kicked the ball out and not turned in to him

The half Ryan was keeper was totally different to the other two boys but the fact remains, the two or three times Ryan was called into action he was calm, assured and effective. Plus his distribution is valuable.
Langerak did himself no favours. That was not a slick move.
Jones made some good saves but looked shaky IMO.

I agree with Big Al, Ryan No.1 and give Galekovic a run and shot at No.2, after all he is getting regular game time, the others simply are not.

#3 ought to be Covic for me. If we're going to take an older HAL keeper, it's got to be Covic.

Theo?

 

[eenfish]

Theo is Greek, isn't he?

But Ante has World Cup history. So does Eugene. Either of those two would be good. Personally, I'd be inclined to take Federici.

 

[nebakke]

Good lord! Theo would be worse than Hugene... Actually... That's not fair, I do rate Galekovic, but as previously mentioned, I also reckon that he is guaranteed to give away at least one goal per game against an opponent who can actually hit the target (so... NOT us!)... On the upside, he moves up so far at times, that he might actually score one day.
But Theo... THEO!??? He shouldn't even be playing for Brisbane, let alone for the Socceroos, the guy is well past it and makes some insane decisions sometimes.... In case you're in doubt, I don't rate him at all since his Samsonesque name change.
Covic probably not a bad idea, or give Vuk a run for it, seeing as it's third keeper anyway, although his temper could be expensive if he ever got to play.

 

[eenfish]

Lets be honest, we're only gonna be playing 3 matches. Give Ryan the gig in the first two, Mitch the third match (unless we some how pick up a win and have a sniff at qualification), and our third bloke is simply just a injury cover.

 

[nebakke]

Actually, fair point eenfish - I think I got a little overexcited myself... I don't actually think Langerak should be dumped just because of a red card in a friendly, these things happen... I think his lack of game time does meant that it could've been worth looking move him down the list, except I'm not sure that there's anyone better than him, on-a-whole.

 

[eenfish]

Totally agree with that. Nobody plays in a league as high as him, and he does have exposure to the Champions League this season. Mat Ryan's got the regular playing time in a top Euro division, nobody else has that not even Mitch.

Depends on what Ange wants, I guess. Everyone here would pick Maty every day of the week, but go to Melbourne Victory forum and they'd all pick Mitch. People probably pick Mitch because BVB is a bit more visible than Club Brugge, but nothing is more visible than shutting out a side in your 45 minutes whilst the other guy gunning for the job gets a red card in a Socceroos match.

Yeah... But then... They also follow Melbourne Victory and their coach is Kevin Muscat so really... What do they know?

 

[Big Al]

Ange dumped Covic from MV so he definately won't be No 3

No. 3 should be a keeper playing week in week out in case disaster strikes & they need to play.

Langerak in No2. Has been good for BVB when plays & is prob our 2nd best keeper - Beats the should be playing rule because of talent & won't play unless Ange gives him the 3rd game for experience because we are out.

Eugene was great in the East Asia mauling against S Korea. Federici I like has lost his spot, Jones sucks so Eugene for me.

Jeez if you needed any more evidence for Maty getting the #1 shirt.

is patterson sewell elligable to play for the socceroos

 

[bikinigirl]

. i didn't see the game the other day but i wouldn't have a problem with jones going ... if for nothing other than sentimental reasons. considering people think it is a purely passengers position anyway

. of course if that was to happen you know he would be called upon ... so to continue the fairytale:

• ryan starts as no. 1 in the first two games ... is handed a yellow card in each for time wasting (protecting our lead)
• langerak starts in the third game ... but is sent off once again, this time jones saves the penalty to send us through to the next round
• maty comes back in as first choice and scores the winner in a shootout

 

[Tassiemariner]

The third GK is just about who's the best bloke out of the rest isn't it? All they do is ball boy while the top 2 train.
