Shahanga Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 This young man needs his own thread! Tilio is still just 19 (born 23/08/2001). Been in Sydney’s youth system for a few years and last year made 3 appearances for them for a full 9 minutes of football. We must have some good scouts, because the kid looks a genuine prospect. The last few games when he’s came in he’s had quite an impact. At this rate the coach is going to have no choice but to pick him in the starting side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel more excited with him cutting in with the ball compared to when Noone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr MO Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) I thought this forum was obsessed with the Noone statistics - wow look at those stats and there ignore the turnovers. Jokes aside Noone has been good this season but bloody hell what’s with the over hit crosses!!! Time for more minutes for Marco.

Nate Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) I think Tilio's going to be subjected to the Alou Kuol effect - he's having too great an impact off the bench and Noone while quieter in recent weeks has been stellar overall this season, ranked #1 in the league for crosses and chances created, and is ranked equal #3 in the league for assists (alongside Maclaren, fwiw). Why tinker with what's working? I agree with giving Tilio and Cola more minutes off the bench though as it's evidently reaping the benefits.

fensaddler Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 By halfway through the first half I was looking forward to the likely damage done by Tilio and Cola when they came on. That level of pace and skill to come on against a tiring and shattered defence is just destructive. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That level of pace and skill to come on against a tiring and shattered defence is just destructive. I'd say that the way forward is to continue to start Noone and Nabbout, who have the experience and the smarts (e.g. Noone's quickly taken free kick), but gradually give Tilio and Cola more and more minutes. IMO all four players will benefit from that. Off the field we need to try and secure these lads on good contracts and not see them leave prematurely. And particularly persuade CFG to keep their hands off them for a couple of seasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time for more minutes for Marco. I have theory about this. Lanky/skinny guys seem to have this relaxed way of crossing the ball. Their legs are more flexible but it makes them follow through more and seem to hit the back post area or row Z. Nuggety wingers whip the ball with more power and accuracy due to their fat little legs. It's bit like MMA fighting, thin lanky guys prefer the head kicks/liver kicks, nuggets like pounding away at the opponents legs. Its a short swing of the leg, but it's a more accurate pointed movement. Anyway #StartNuggetTilio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangerine Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Should keep playing Tilio as a starter almost irrespective of what the other options are. He's a raw talent, full of potential and exciting to watch. We, and the A-league need that. You want the club and its supporter base to grow, then players like him, Atkinson and Metcalfe are the foundation. In my opinion, club should have a separate target for producing socceroos. Something like: 5 socceroos this decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilio’s best chance may therefore be taking Nabbout’s spot. Anyway I guess it’s like centre back- you need 3 good enough to start to cover the 2 spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. to be clear though he’s just in the “train on” squad. They are going to Japan solely to ride the bullet train* * or they are on standby in case someone in the squad proper is injured. (Either way it shows he’s on the gaffer’s radar) Edited July 5, 2021 by Shahanga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
