What defines a "goalkeeper?" Could you, for example, have the equivalent of the "all-rounder" in cricket, i.e. someone who doubles as a GK and an outfield player? This guy could sit on the bench and be a pretty handy substitute. The number of times that a team requires to use the GK from the bench is pretty low. Unless the rule are different from the rest of the world: A match is played by two teams, each with a maximum of eleven players; one must be the goalkeeper. A match may not start or continue if either team has fewer than seven players. The competition rules state that all players and substitutes must be named before kick-off. There is no reference to one must be a goalkeeper. I have seen teams play without a recognised goalkeeper on the bench. I have also seen this come undone when the goalkeeper gets injured. The rules state that a goalkeeper must wear a different coloured shirt. Therefore any out field player or substitute can play in goals as long as they change their shirt.

Jakobsen for sure, Brandan's a hard one as I haven't seen enough of O'Halloran or Florin to comment on that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of a walk-up start or lock is that they are unquestionably in that position. There's prob even a case that Jako isnt given we let him go.

Jovan Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 For Kilkenny was the first player picked but ultimately I don't think he and Brattan combined. I still haven't seen enough of Griffiths yet. And if O'Halloran is equal to Brandan I'll be rapt. Not much difference in all. The difference though will be how they set up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well hes got absolutely nothing on Mooy and imo Brattan is actually a better footballer. Look i thought Killa was good, but imo he was also the source of a lot of our problems. That season we were well known to be 'lazy' in terms of tracking back and as much as people used to point at Cahill, i actually thought Killa was the main culprit. He got the rep at least in general public terms of being a chaser due to his determination when the ball was in his general vicinity and fair enough, but imo when the ball was away from him and someone else responsible for the ball carrier, he almost never went with the player making the run. True Cahill didnt either, but Cahill wasnt the DM so the emphasis wasnt as high. He also didn't seem to particularly "pair" well with anyone. Tbf might not be his fault but nevertheless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Yeah I was lazy and forgot about Mooy. killer was always in the right spot. Didn’t need to run around like a chook with his head chopped off. Broke so much stuff down. I’ve never seen anyone else get close. Add to that was great on the ball etc etc. anyway that’s how I see it. Will never accept Wazza was right to bin him last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandan, Budzinski, Kilkenny - all frozen out by Joyce last season. Not a good record IMO. Didn't understand Carrusca either. Crowley, Roberts, Cahill also went mid-season.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts on Wayne Shroj during the Heart days, during games I'd watch him and he would drive me insane with letting his man run past him and he'd just shout out to someone else to mark him as he ghosted into the box and it was too late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) I actually think Waz is going to change it up a bit this season. Every game so far he has played with 3 CB's and then a full back plus we have a million mids again. IMO that means he is tweaking something with the structure of the formation.

At the end of the day, whether we rated Killer or not (and I certainly did), it's hard to argue that he'd be a walk-up start in the starting XI with the current squad, considering what happened last year and that Joyce is still in charge. He either had major personal issues with Killer or didn't think much of him as a player at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
