HeartinHobart Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 I feel sorry for the one guy on the bench each week who won't get to take any part of the game this season! That's like cockteasing at its best! Lol It's professional football mate. It's about time we have match day squads the resemble it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murfy1 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 At this stage I'd assume JA's best 11, for the first part of the season at least, would look very much like this: This is how I think Heart will line up as well. There's one question I have about our current squad, though. What do we do if Mifsud can't play (either because he's away on international duty, or injured or whatever)? Who's our backup striker? Macallister is apparently injured and out for a few months, so he isn't an option. We could play Williams or Golgol. We'll probably exclude at least 3 wingers from every starting 11 (probably Garuccio, Williams and Golgol), so it would be a positive if we could use one of those wingers by playing them as a striker. However, I'm not sure how Williams or Golgol would go playing up front. If I had to choose though, I'd probably go with Golgol, although he hasn't played much pre-season football lately, so he may not be the best option (injured possibly?...). Kewell? We could then play Kalmar or maybe Dugandzic or Mauk as the number 10/attacking midfielder behind Kewell. I think Kewell would do pretty well up front, although he won't be as quick as he used to be. Anyway, we'll find out round 1 against the Victory what backup striker Aloisi prefers. And we'll probably see this backup striker being deployed at least a couple of times this season (and maybe for the remaining 20 to 30 minutes of several games, If Mifsud gets subbed off).

I really think this season is the one where David Williams needs to finally, fully live up to his potential as a central striker as he was in his younger days at Brisbane, Brondby and then North Queensland. On his day, he's as good as anyone but we've very rarely seen Willo reach that level that he's more than capable of, so I think it's definitely time for him to step up and fill the void left by Misfud when he doesn't play.

Couldn't agree more. It's the third of his three-season contract, he's on good coin, and he has the opportunity to play in the position that he coveted right from the start - central striker. There are no more excuses left for Willo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulhollanddrive Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 I think Williams is Williams. If he didn't play 40 games in Denmark, he'd been seen as just another player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh I missed Kisnorbo. In that case, he moves to the back line and Gerhardt moves to defensive mid with Migliorini on the bench. Germano gets relegated to 2nd tier in my eyes. Migliorini and Ramsay need to prove themselves first in order to replace Gerhardt and Williams' starting spots. Walker is not completely safe either. If Migliorini is a gun then I can see Weilaart moving to right back with Gerhardt back into centre defence and Migliorini occupying the defensive mid position with Murdocca.

Dr.Dreas Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Migilori has played 45 minutes and in tricky conditions, I'm sure he is decent but I don't really see him walking straight into the starting 11 over PG. Also not sure what's happening is with Walker and Hoffman, Walker seams to have dropped down the pecking order in favour for Hoff who has played the majority at LB!! Dunno what the deal is there, but I hope that's not the case. At this stage I'd assume JA's best 11, for the first part of the season at least, would look very much like this: I'd play this team simply due to the graphics you just did!!! Good stuff man!

Damiano Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I'm hoping we play a 4-2-3-1 style it would suit us this season with Kewell as the AM and Mifsud up front. With Ramsay, Dugandzic, Williams and Gol-Gol fighting for the two RW/LW spots. Also what does everyone think about Mifsud missing the first game due to internationals? Personally I think either Gol Gol or Williams should replace him up front. Would love to see a forward structure that looks like this: Dugandzic - Kewell - Ramsay Gol-Gol/Williams #goheart!

Jake Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) Mifsud misses the first two I believe. Hard to tell who will play forward. Could be HK with MM,PG and AM in the middle.

jw1739 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Just commenting on those line-ups, assuming they mean Dugandzic as an AM in away games and Germano as a CM in home games. Dealing with the latter first, IMO Germano has had no pre-season, following on from an injury-riddled last season, and I can't see why he would be considered for a senior place until he's at least played his way back in though the NYL side. IMO there are several fit players in front of him. In terms of Mate I see him as a wide attacking forward. When he was really firing he was a very free-flowing player, but seeing him in pre-season he looked somehow restricted in his play. He's also very easily knocked off the ball. In the past he has been quite impressive in midfield, but I don't think he could stand up to it at the moment. All these things are matters of opinion.

mus-28 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 just to clarify, Duga as the AM for home games, he proved his ability in this position when Fred was injured. As a winger I don't think he's direct enough, he wants to get early balls in and will rarely beat his opponent 1v1 when getting to the byline and cutting it back is a far more dangerous route to goal. Alternately it could be worked as a 3-4-3 with Kewell, Mifsud and Dugandzic all rotating across the 3 attacking positions. Germano when fit would be in the midfield 3. He's got the workrate, positional sense and will do the 1%ers that were often neglected last season when has wasn't available. Not sure how effective Ramsay would be in the middle of the park, but wouldn't mind seeing it given a crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerhardt looks like he gives his all every time he wears the shirt, I reckon he deserves to play. Would be a bit harsh to drop Walker after one match, he's not too different to a youth team player as well and is fighting for his spot etc. Haven't seen that much from Migliorini, Ramsey or Misfud either that warrants them starting instead of others. best team IMO. redmayne Gerhardt Wielart Kisnorbo Ramsay Behich Migliorini Murdocca Williams Kewell Misfud. Williams at LCM? Ramsay at RWB (he's left footed isn't he?) For me it would be: Redmayne Gerhardt Wielart Kisnorbo Walker Migliorini Murdocca Behich Kewell Williams/Duga/Ramsay Mifsud.

jw1739 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Based on what I've seen, Ramsay is our best winger by a country mile.
