ALM Round 1 vs Adelaide

[turbo]

Losing Goodwin is huge for Adelaide. I'm tipping them for their worst season in a long time and the way they rolled over for WSW in the cup was disgraceful. Might start ok but will fall apart if they go behind.

Moving Goodwin on was a smart move looking at his last 2 Socceroo performances...

With Goodwin gone. Is Irakunda a like for like replacement?

 

[Archie]

not yet he isn't but he's got the potential to be

 

[Paolo]

No Storm

Not really. Goodwin has a decent attitude

 

[priorpeter]

Faz living rent free in irankunda’s head… or is it Irankunda living in Faz’s pocket?
Either way, I’m confident Jacob will have him on lock… again.

Pretty confident heading into tomorrow night. They’ve lost some senior players and only signed one new player. The pommy Ryan Tunnicliffe, a ball winning mid type.
They’ve got good youth but even with all our departures, our new boys and youth are better in every area. I’d like to see DWH start again and maybe theo instead of Wilson.

The starting line up will interest me. MJ has come into the squad with fresh eyes. Any non standard selection will mean that player has impressed in training. Conversely, any non selection will mean that has done the opposite.

 

[Wombat]

Same line up but Theo instead of Wilson.

It will be interesting to see his approach to the first few weeks in regards to team selection, especially the short gaps between Bali/macarthur and Bali/roar (plus the impact of travel to Perth and bali).

Does he pick and stick to try and get momentum or does he rotate players to manage the workloads?

Can see DWH getting a start here - better hold up play than Kuol and has been far more impressive in preseason I think
Agree - Wilson to be dropped

Kuol's style and attributes lend themselves to punishing a tiring backline too. I think where we are right now and Alou rebuilding confidence a series of successful 30 min stints off the bench will do more than hit and miss starts.

I like this, I could also get around a front two of Kuol and DWH, with Tulio out to LM and Theo back on the bench. Kuol and DWH have such different games, I think they could really compliment one another up top rather than compete for the same spot

 

[marinermick]

Tulio is our best player. He needs to play in his best position which is number ten. The physical requirements of playing seven or eleven will blunt his creativity and ability to play off the nine.

I think he will rotate and to be honest the AFC games are pretty weak opposition so expect more younger/inexperienced players to be playing these games.

 

[FFC Mariner]

4231 I imagine so Tulio at 10 with Niz/Max in behind
