HeartFc Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Ability and willingness to take on players. Anytime a player can display that trait he becomes a star of the A-league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get past your man in this league you are a genuine danger. This is also the case for attacking midfielders.

I still believe that @HeartFc's theory on player recruitment and performance is highly plausible, since I reckon Nabbout would deck me if I looked at him funny in a night club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embee Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Still can't believe we wasted a squad spot on this spud.... He's been absolutely fantastic more or less since leaving the Victory the first time around. Even last year his struggles were heavily overplayed IMO. He was still relatively productive despite being out of shape (seems like the Victory should wear some blame for this based on Andrew's comments) and being surrounded by a squad full of absolute spuds. He's a rarity for this league in that he's absolutely sensational on both sides of the ball. Would be more than happy to place a 3 year marquee deal at his feet sooner rather than later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 Personally I reckon he’s been playing with an injury for weeks. Now whether it’s got worse or it just wasn’t good enough for a mid week dash to Perth, that I don’t know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third possibility is that he could still have played, but It was a strategic decision to let the injury recover a bit so as to avoid missing a tougher game, given Perth's shit form etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His style lends itself to being brought down several times in a match - and that's what has been happening in recent matches. My take is that the coaching staff have enough confidence in Tilio and Cola such that Nabbout could take time out. I'll guess that he'll be named for the match on Sunday against Brisbane.

We just need to tweak it: Atkinson and Nabbout are not allowed to start against Perth. And I just realised that the score line in both matches was 3-1. Wow. Something is definitely weird here.

Or maybe its just Nabbout and the reason he is on a one year deal with us is because he is actually on loan!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted June 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 It sounds like he’ll make it back for the finals. In that recent interview he talked about potentially playing in the Jets match. Maybe he thought that would be next week though. The other thing is it sounds like he’s staying. He talked about being excited to play alongside Leckie. If we can keep Maclaren, we’d have the best Australian front three in the history of the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
