Tony999 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Looking at AAMI tonight, you have to ask why? Hunter holds as many if not a little more than AAMI. We really don't know what sort of show the Newcastle public might put on. All tickets sold out for semi in Newcastle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperial Pints Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 How milligan got the nod above mooy is beyond me. I do think all this Milligan hate is pretty funny! Imo he's been our best midfielder this tournament, he's passed forward to feet at every opportunity via both left & right pegs and took a great pen as well. I would honestly start him ahead of Jedinak who carelessly loses the ball time and again then bakes his teammates for no good reason! As for Mooy, he should've got a gig in this squad but at Antonis' expense, not Milligan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, just a shame Cahill never played for a big club ( not denigrating Everton but its not Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea etc). For Socceroos I'd say Cahill is the man.

Imperial Pints Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) All the people that were critical of Ange for resting players before the qf look pretty silly now. In such a condensed tournament, rotating the squad was a necessary move. Japan played a full strength team 4 matches in a row and look what happened to them. Even if they had snuck through last night they were going to be sitting ducks in the semi with a day less prep. The four teams left are all capable of winning it, but the home ground advantage for us is significant.

I criticised Ange because I was pissed that I didn't get to see the Socceroos in a quarter final at AAMI Park, not because we'd have a different, and what people believed to be a more difficult run to the final. He put the NTs success over my personal enjoyment. And for that, Ange can still go fuck himself! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperial Pints Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Would like to see us start with: Franjic Spira Sainsbury Davidson Milligan Jedinak Luongo Leckie Cahill Burns. Thought Kruse was abysmal in the QF, he barely broke out of a jog all match and (to my eyes) looked disinterested. Feel like Burns has goals in him and has a bit of mongrel that Kruse & Troisi lack (or maybe it's just my bias against the visitors). Having said that I think Milligan deserves a start, he's been far & away our best passer this tournament and is imo a calming influence. Am awaiting the vitriol about to come my way haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then was god in the second game. he definitely has a lot of abillity.Wouldn't mind one last go of the Davidson-Behich rotation, then Ange can have a better idea of who his #1 is ahead of the final.

Nate Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Interesting to see both Milligan and Jedinak starting, I'm a little worried we'll be too defensive tbh. Probably necessary in trying to negate Omar Abdulrahman and Ali Mabkhout going forward but I'm concerned we have nobody to deliver quality balls to our front 3. Will probably rely on Davidson pushing up and whipping crosses onto Cahill's beautiful head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said this a few years back and got shot down in flames but this is a prime example of why I think its laughable that Melbourne dubs itself the sporting capital of the World.
