belaguttman Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 My, Graeme Arnold is the dementor's kiss of coaching, he has sucked all the life out of the Socceroos. vertical football shapeless, no structure endless backpasses and little effective possession It makes painful viewing. Surely, we must replace him before the WC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The state of the A-League isn't helping him either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommykins Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 I think the way he plays is very telling, as well as the players he leaves out - the Australian team isn't the best it's ever been, but there are plenty of more exciting players that could be chosen nearly across the park. The left side is better because Azizi bombs on at every occasion, given we play a double-ish pivot of Mooy and Irvine it seems wild to me that we don't try to do the same on the right with Atkinson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably too late to change tack now? IMO after the WC Finals we need to press the reset button and change the mindset of what we're about with the national team. Need a lot more football too, both nationally and internationally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belaguttman Posted September 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Arnie specialises in "backs to the wall lads, we are the underdogs. dig deep". It was a successful mentality at CCM, ludicrous when he tried it at Sydney FC, but just not the right mentality for the Socceroos. Ange had a clearly articulated style that he tried to implement, Arnold's style of play...what? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
