this whole game reaks of corruption.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Leckie with his GF form.
McTapin too.

 

[true believer]

kyle rowles , world class

 

[true believer]

the argies getting shirtee .that their in a football game

 

[Josho Howe]

Bos has been impressive. Maclaren out there is like playing with 10

 

[crock]

Leckie nearly gifted Messi a 2nd

 

[Tevor]

Atkinson having a good game as well.

 

[Ben10]

kyle rowles , world class

Agree, he's been good, bailed us out a few times now. Bos and Mcgree probably the other two standouts, Jamie is an utter waste of space in this system

 

[booney]

Rowles ,Bos and McGree all playing well.Duke nearly scored from a Bos pass.Pity that Argentina ( Messi) scored in in first two minutes but it was some finish.

Atkinson looked shaky early but has improved and won some one on one duels

 

[FFC Mariner]

McTapin should never be in another Roos squad. Absolute fraud of a player.
Missing again

Good player in the regular season but goes missing in the big games.

Goal hanging in front of a vastly superior side who create chance after chance for him. Up against quality and he is invisible.
See the entry under Grand Final;2023

Which is fine if that's his thing but once we get through the early qualification rounds how often are we in that spot. So frustrating that Arnold hasn't done more to see how Cummings could mix things up, even if he gets a run Arnold expects him to play the Duke chase down everything role.

Get Allou some game time to get match fit - there is your striker

Eventually I see Cummings and Borello/Alou playing twin strikers. With Garang and Boyle at rm and lm. Bos is not defensively good enough at Lb or Atkinson at Rb. Eventually I think it will be Farrell and Strain

Bos can be cover for lm. Seen enough oh Hrustic and jmac to move on. They don't fit the team

 

[turbo]

Bos is not defensively good enough at Lb

I think Bos has surpassed Farrell for now at least and does well enough defensively to have the starting spot. Behich had a nightmare season so the spot is there for the taking. Right back is a bit of an issue now.

Bos is going to be a star - looked at home last night against the world champs. Reckon he is our LB for the next 10 years

Unless we play New Zealand and Storm Roux is picked for the Kiwis

As a lm that can support a Lb. He gave the ball away way too much and got turned way too much for mine. A Lb is a defender first. Bos is a great attacking Lb that needs everyone to cover for him as he goes forward and loses the ball. He unbalanced the backline.
Undoubted talent but as a defender he is a great attacking weapon.
