He is much more technical, in the recent Aussie U23's he constantly dribbled past defenders and looked one of our most dangerous players. The biggest criticism is his crossing from out wide, none really hit the mark and most were overhit, but he likes to dribble into the box for a pass/cutback. Scored a few goals iirc, he's not shy at taking a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I've given up on Kamau being able to and maybe that's why he second guesses most times and results in making the wrong decision.

His take on skills are at the very least on par (being conservative) with Kamau if not better and his crossing/shot wouldn't be any worse than Kamau either given that we know this is Kamaus weakness. And he's certainly no worse off on the physicality side of things. Kamau definetly has him on the experience side of things. For me it comes down to how well he integrates with the rest of the players around him and play his role within the team. That's the aspect that I'm not sure about in comparison to Kamau. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If both are fighting for the one position that might/should lift them to higher levels and ultimately benefitting the team as a whole. Positive I guess is that they won't be used as converted fullbacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember him skying a couple, but the pitches were cow paddocks, so maybe the ball bobbled? In any case, he'll have a crack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arzani is a right footer but for some reason I've only seen him being played on the left wing during the last couple of seasons and also on Wednesday. So I don't know if they're in direct competition for the same spot. From a performance perspective though I'd like to think that they are fighting to be the one to be in starting eleven though, which I'm sure they are. And yes not converting them is a positive. I'd like to think even JVS wouldn't try to convert Kamau into a defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the U23's he played left wing, he seems more two footed than Kamau and a lot stronger, experience is all Kamau has over him imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he does. On Wednesday I saw him on a couple of occasions try to cut back a ball with his left. Kamau would have never even attempted it as the ball would have knocked him off his feet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt50 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Before anyone takes too much stock, just remember we got done 5-1 by Welly last pre-season at full strength and went on to do the treble over them.

It's too early to be really concerned, but we shipped two goals to Central Coast last week (and Hoole also missed a penalty that would have given him a hat-trick) and we've shipped three today. That's against two teams that many have written off as bottom four for the coming season. Not really what we want to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
