Harrison Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 You left off an ‘L’ on O’Neill. Good signing. Probably one we can sell after a few seasons provided he reaches his potential. I see him maybe as a Championship-level player long-term, potentially pushing for a spot in a PL team if all goes well. Has all the tools but needs to start bossing games, hope he does that for us. Good luck to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him as an 8, pretty much a box to box type. I think I’ve seen him play just about all central roles, even defence at the Mariners, but obviously his best would be as an 8. His output isn’t suggestive of a very creative type, but it’s always a question of role in a system versus ability. If Kisnorbo doesn’t vary Mombaerts’ system then we see him in Berenguer’s spot.

mus-28 Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Good pickup, will be a good addition to the midfield, and allow Luna to push higher up the park. Now bring in an out and out Visa winger and a striker who can make an impact off the bench and we're looking the goods. Brillante, O'Neill, Luna, Metcalfe and Griff is plenty of quality and competition in the middle of the park. We really have an inability to change games off the bench I wouldn't be disappointed to use a cheap Visa spot on a striker who can cover Jamie when injured/international duty and come off the bench when we're chasing a game and allow us to play 2 up front instead of re-signing Florin.

Jacques Le Cube Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Good player. I am surprised that he chose to stay in the A League. He has already proven himself to be one of the better local players in the League and has several years of first team football under his belt. I thought he would test himself at a higher level.

bt50 Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 FWIW Griffiths and O'Neil were impact injuries so you can't really do anything about those. Nabbout and Atkinson obviously open to criticism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we overtrain our players? That’s one possible way, but I’d suggest a training imbalance more likely. The optimum amount of strength work will reduce injury risk, so not enough (think lazy Mate Dug or Arzani) will raise the injury risk. With everything we have now, I’d have thought we’d be least likely to have injuries. Very Concerning. Also bad news for O’Neill, pretty hard to make his Mark at a new club when he can’t play.

Shahanga Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 I like the look of O’Neill. I reckon his last couple of games were outstanding. I’m expecting a big season from him next year. Im a bit surprised he couldn’t make the Olympics squad, but hopefully that will only serve to fire him up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt50 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Im not sure i think he's underrated by our fans, albeit perhaps a few people were a bit slow on the uptake with how important he is to us. He's 100% the most underrated player in the league from an external viewpoint though, gets nowhere near the fanfare and kudos he deserves. I'd be doing everything possible to resign him for next season personally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyh001 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 just looked up his wiki and didnt realise he is 24. thought he was younger. the guy's been immense for us. would love for him to stay one or two more seasons before going overseas; we have the contacts so there are plenty of options to go abroad at the right time and extra time here certainly would help a push for a Socceroos role.
