WS Wanderers. Manchester Utd.

The system hamstrung our most attacking players.

Irankunda doesn’t work at a nine.

Coming into the tournament Toure was probably our most inform striker ever heading to a WC.

We never saw Toure, Volpato and Nesta on at the same time.

We didn’t try to win. 🇦🇺

[Daniel Brettig 🏏 @danbrettig]

The Postecoglou philosophy to try to build something better than a Socceroos team that just qualifies and competes should resonate in the aftermath of a deeply unsatisfying early elimination by Egypt. Doesn't have to be Ange who does it, but we should expect better than this

[Devek Naidu @DNaidu92]

From the @TheAthleticFC
Frank just never had the gravitas to follow a manager like Ange

[Devek Naidu @DNaidu92]

If there was any doubt as to whether Thomas Franks football resonated with Matt Wells or not lol

[Colorado Rapids @ColoradoRapids]

From taking notes in his “diary” inspired by Ange Postecoglou to now, Matt Wells brings desire, discipline, and leadership to Colorado 🏔️

@PausaPass Yeh, said it as Socceroos (Aust) coach after 2017 Confeds Cup match against Chile, amidst relentless calls to adapt a more cautious approach against certain opposition

[Devek Naidu @DNaidu92]

@adriandelmonte How would Ange be a stylistic fit for Juve @adriandelmonte?

[UtdTruthful @Utdtruthful]

🇵🇹😁 United has won 3 games in a row since Amorim CHANGED the system to a back 4. 👏

@NathanAClark Found your dribbly boi Nathan!

[Devek Naidu @DNaidu92]

@MAFFS_pod At what point of the Uzbek match will Arnie throw in Big Harry up front in the search for a late winner? Who will our front 4 be and why won't it be McGree, Silvera, Yengi and Tilio?

[Devek Naidu @DNaidu92]

@Socceroos will the squad announcement press conference be televised for fans?

[Devek Naidu @DNaidu92]

@VinceRugari @bvanega Thanks Vince
I haven't seen anything on the socials suggesting as such either

[Devek Naidu @DNaidu92]

@ParamountPlusAU @aleaguemen
#NEWvPER broadcast quality pretty average, pixelated low fps stream and terrible contrast where players aren't recognisable on the sunny side of the pitch...
Fans deserve better!

[Devek Naidu @DNaidu92]

@NickStoll @maxrushden Swans struggling to play through the press, and too much u shaped possession when they do get the ball

[Devek Naidu @DNaidu92]

@Hirald0 This hits the nail on the head man

[Devek Naidu @DNaidu92]

@khalilkayalKK @hamishcarton Haha brilliant work @hamishcarton I l check out the video later

@Alan_Morrison67 @khalilkayalKK + Very good technically on the ball
+ Good long range & short passing
+ Good set piece delivery
- Slows play down a bit with tempo of passing (but will know the need to step it up in an Ange team)
- Off the ball movement (can see him struggling to receive against high press)

[Devek Naidu @DNaidu92]

@Alan_Morrison67 @khalilkayalKK Thoughts on Guchi in the limited pre season minutes we have seen?
Must admit was looking forward to seeing him as a 6 but was disappointed with his risk averse passing against Blackburn, but hard to say how much of that was also down to playing with Lawal & Jullien

[Devek Naidu @DNaidu92]

@Alan_Morrison67 @khalilkayalKK That's the concern! My gut feel is that this isn't Ange's preferred option but one that he is settling on for a short term fix due to limited transfer budget remaining. Perhaps whatever $$ is left will be focused on a young, long term LCB signing

[Devek Naidu @DNaidu92]

@Alan_Morrison67 @khalilkayalKK Socceroos have been very ball dominant in Asian world cup qualifying so we haven't see Mooy's ability to play under a press in recent history.

+ Did show great fitness in completing 90 & 120 min in crunch WC qualifiers with next to no 1st team football in last year

[Devek Naidu @DNaidu92]

@Alan_Morrison67 @khalilkayalKK Another weakness is defensive recovery pace in counter attacks.
Comparable to a Turnbull with less pace & agility. Wouldn't surpass Hatate, O Riley, Turnbull for the two 8s, likely a SPFL rotation for CalMac.
