biancorosso7 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Germano > Thompson Germano would have a far better impact off the bench than Thompson. And I would suggest that it's Thommo's place to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadete Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 BENCH: Redmayne, Gray, Germano, Williams/Macallister I have to admit one of the things I like best about this squad is the bench, it looks like a bench made for chasing points... And its also so much better than last years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yeah, I reckon to start with we'll see Colosimo and Gray as the centre-back pairing, with Vrankovic coming in a bit later. Weak point seems to be left-wing. I reckon it's a toss-up between Golgol and Williams, and if a change needs to be made during a game IMO we'll move Tadic to the left and bring in Macallister in the centre. I rate Germano better than Thompson. Also, IMO Fred is not going to last the distance, either a game or the season. Two or three signings still to make, and we're going to need them.

heart_fan10 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 don't think we'll have a natural left winger in the squad like we do with dugandzic on the right wing. I think our best option is to have behich doing a lot of overlapping down the left with the makeshift left winger sitting a bit deeper, acting as more of a 4th midfielder/second AM (if we play with 2 DMs) and obviously covering left back when behich pushes forward.

And I think that's a big risk. Makes us very unidimensional. We're intending to go into the season with 20-21 players in the senior squad. Doesn't leave many options for a match squad of 15. I still think there are three in the squad who, based on past performances, are not really pressing for inclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiz.heart Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I reckon we go a 3-5-2, a lot like how Italy did at the Euros. Besides, I'm so sick of the 4-3-3! ---------------Bolton--------------- Gray Colosimo Vrankovic Gerhardt Germano Marrone Behich Fred Dugandzic Tadic Dugandzic will almost play as a second striker to help Tadic (IMO Mate is alot better when he plays central) or he can drop into one of the wide areas to create space for Tadic. Germano will be our box to box midfielder which will leave Gerhardt in the DM role. We may be a little exposed defensively on the wings if Behich and Marrone get caught out but Gerhardt can always pull back and support Colosimo while Gray and Vrankovic push out to cover the wide areas. Of course were gonna need to recruit another defender as cover but we'll have Thompson on the bench who could come in if the one of the back 3 go down. Williams can be subbed in as a second striker which I think will suit him better than playing on the wing. This will allow Dugandzic to drop back into Fred's position when Fred is subbed off as I highly doubt he will be lasting 90 mins for most parts of the season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biancorosso7 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 That's true. And of course, there is this large assumption Aloisi will continue with 4-3-3. Closed match v Northcote last night. I think that there would have been a fair bit of experiement as to formations and players in positions. The 4-3-3 may well become redundant for a 3-5-2 or 4-2-3-1 (which would be my preference). Then in the different formation, where do you play Garcia, and Germano, and Williams, and Thompson?

jw1739 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Del Solar - born 30th December 1992. Definitely Under-20 on 1st January 2012. Poscoliero - born 11th April 1990. Does not qualify even if the rule remains Under-21 on 1st January 2012. Groenewald - born 6th January 1991. Qualifies as Under-21 but not Under-20.
