neio Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Is there an olyroos under 23s game in this international break? Cause if there is we can probably ask for game to be postponed with having Maclaren, Wales, Atkinson, Glover, Metcalfe, Genreau and possibly Najjarine missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The non- active City section is priced at Premium B so that might be why it's more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citypool Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 Does anyone like this as a season opener?

Imtellingyou Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 No-one does the derbies early like this when teams are still rusty. Especially when there is zero media and crowd traction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted September 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 I'm keen tbh, it's the best way to attract newcomers and as I'm bringing 4 newbies along I'm hopeful it'll be a decent game with good atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 I think we are favourites just based on the fact that we will be match ready with the FFA cup run and the visitors not having a competitive game for so long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mus-28 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 We really need Cabrera to play on the right and attack them down that side. Watched them play Perth a few weeks back and Corey Brown was his usual abysmal self, but then Adama Traore came on and made Corey Brown look like Marcelo. Whichever of them plays is ripe for the picking. They do look like they've got quite a player in Poulsen, very similar to Brillante snapping into tackles and a good range of passing from deep.

Shahanga Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 It’s hard to imagine Cabrera not starting. I know a young player can’t develop without opportunities but at least in my view Remy didn’t do enough to hold an experienced import out of the side for a big Derby.

Would you put noone, Cabrera or even luna as a make shift striker up front?

Harrison Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Mombaerts has shown that he trusts young players. If he thinks Najjar is up to it then he plays him. Maclaren is seriously important to our style of play in both offence and defence so I think Mombaerts will select the type of player who best replicates that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Najjar is far more like for like in terms of playing the same way, and that given he has been given a lot of opportunity in the friendlies and cup that Erick is looking to him to fill the role. And personally im all for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neio Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Does anyone actually know if Luna has ever played as a striker, or is it a total guess? From what I've seen I think Cabrera would be better suited if they don't think Najjar is ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommykins Posted October 4, 2019 Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Apparently 9% of Luna's total starts have been at central ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For many decades FIFA have mandated that players must be available to represent their countries if selected in competitive matches and if not they will be suspended. Actually it would happen in every league. Friendlies are a different matter though, so during the glory days of Oceania, European clubs would say players were “injured” and not release them. I recall Chipperfield and Viduka both being suspended in this manner (though I suspect the match was a friendly, perhaps vs Venezuela, so the rule may have been changed at that time). i have a completely different view. I’m an Australian who happens to support Melbourne City. I’d reconsider my support for the club if they didn’t release players to play for Australia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality is we want our players tested at the heighest possible level AND we have the depth to cover deficiencies in areas if need be. Najaar is worth the start. Luna has not played striker in any pre season game. I doubt we will see it this week. Noone will stay on the wing where he is most dangerous.

It has happened in the past we are are talking years back and but the debate is very recent in Europe but you are correct it was more around the friendly games. To shut the debate and most clubs down in their argument, the UEFA invented the nations league = almost no more friendlies! Regardles of the rules and big fines it's not really an issue in other parts of the world because there won't be any leagues who schedule round 1 at the same time as their national team is playing, it just doesn't happen.
