@FOXFOOTY Very ordinary line of questioning. Lyon answered directly & quite comprehensively.

Low rent journalism - trying to get a rise out of Lyon rather than being interested in the explanation.

@dontblamedata @SrSittingBull @TheRealBozza @RobbieSlater17 💯 I challenged Robbie a few times & he was so protective of Arnie. My main question was which young players he thought Arnie had given a chance to? Reminder Arnie wasn’t playing Circati, Bos, Robertson & others. Robbie’s answer: he was playing those good enough- Keanu Baccus 🤣

[Arbel Givargis @Arbvarg]

@BinManIan @SrSittingBull None of this matters at all if you don’t give the kids a chance in the senior team. Who was the last player to come through the academy, into the senior team aside from Inserra?

@scout_aussie @BlewsFooty Geez you nailed that analysis 2-3 years ago

[Arbel Givargis @Arbvarg]

@tarnfg He has the potential to be as good as Kewell but he’s got a long way to go.

[Arbel Givargis @Arbvarg]

@vesh88 And then there’s the super talented Gianluca Okon and a wave of other 17-20 year olds coming through. Including Pearman, Mehmeti, MacNicol, Eames, Kikianis & others.

@SYDFCConspiracy I thought Irvine was pretty good after a couple of loose passes.

Really hoping Toure’s legs are just being saved…

[Arbel Givargis @Arbvarg]

@InTheMixer @ScottyFEFL @cracklarry So far no Australian playing at League One level has made the NT. Incorrect. As per those two examples.

[Arbel Givargis @Arbvarg]

@InTheMixer @ScottyFEFL @cracklarry Rubbish. Luke Wilkshire was plucked from League One by Hiddink & put straight into the NT in 2006. Mass Luongo was playing League One with Swindon when Ange turned him into the star player of the 2015 Asian Cup.

[Arbel Givargis @Arbvarg]

@InTheMixer For what it’s worth I think he has both the athletic & the technical profile to succeed at Barnsley. The unknown is does he have the belief. We’ll find out.

[Arbel Givargis @Arbvarg]

@InTheMixer Robbo stayed with Cardiff when they went down, now goes back up. If he has a good season in the Championship he’s in the frame for the NT. Gauci’s form fluctuated so he has been passed by Beach, for now.

Taylor would not get an immediate start in the Championship. Right move.

[Arbel Givargis @Arbvarg]

@InTheMixer There are more players from the Sth African Premiership in the WC than from the A League. Does that make their league stronger than ours?

[Arbel Givargis @Arbvarg]

@InTheMixer What’s that got to do with it?

[Arbel Givargis @Arbvarg]

@the_aussie_game @AUSFUTNews @GaryMoretti Agreed - good move to go somewhere and play every week even if it’s League One. It’s now up to him - if he performs he’ll be noticed as Robertson did at Portsmouth.

[Arbel Givargis @Arbvarg]

@Wikus_de_mere @VinceRugari Kewell was EPL young player of the year at 21 and led Leeds to 3rd then was a key player in a CL run at 23. Volpato has real promise but he looks much better than what his output is at the moment.

[Arbel Givargis @Arbvarg]

@Wikus_de_mere @VinceRugari You obviously never saw a young Harry Kewell play.

[Arbel Givargis @Arbvarg]

@srod009 Agree that development is an issue. But you cannot tell me our youth is not better now than 15 years ago - post golden generation it was a barren wasteland.

Now we have 15-20 elite players under 23 years of age.

[Arbel Givargis @Arbvarg]

@TomWilliamsPol Need aerial threat and hold up play so I’d start Toure.
