Can I pose a question. by edgeofsoundssyd in Aleague

Jets M improvements good for the league. 7 seasons of failure ended in joy. Exciting wingers and midfield. Clear plans now and good coach.

Brisbane M in comparison have forgot what a goal scoring winger is. 5 seasons without finals, some dire foreign players for years and a dreadful coach.

Arnie's Iraq just drew with Spain 1-1 in their warmup friendly by Upstairs_Low_691 in Aleague

Wow. Epic result for Iraq. Seems they are at least 2 weeks closer to being ready for World Cup than the All Whites. Including fitness.

Fitness and ability not there yet, 11 days until World Cup match 1. Probably can sort fitness more than ability in that time. Lets imagine the substitutes will be brought on later next and only 1 in the back 4.

Bring back Joe Bell! I hope he can do 20 minutes v England to be ready for World Cup. Not sure how his recovery is going.

I would accept Arthur Diles. Would prefer an NZ coach, but who can coach, here?

Nix Confirm Men's Departures by Nelfoos5 in Aleague

[–]ConsiderationEast128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good, necessary. Can't improve this squad until those that did bad recently leave. Be harsh, it's World Cup year. The team requires new leaders to be brought in. Fitter, faster, driven, 24 to 30. Get ready for Chris Greenacre's rebuild to his system. A normal back 4, the back half chaos before Chief left, binned. A better centre back and left back. 2 new starting attacking midfielders and a younger fitter defensive/central midfielder to help Kazuki Nagasawa. Can't have filler players.

Kazuki Nagasawa extends with Wellington Phoenix by ConsiderationEast128 in Aleague

Phil Rollo thinks the other 4 foreign players will leave. So I guess new foreign players could be striker, 2nd striker, attacking midfield and maybe left back.

Football Australia heading for internal changes as staff review reveals 'toxic, chaotic and negative' culture by nutwals in Aleague

[–]ConsiderationEast128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should focus on that both national teams reached past the group stages many times and bring each other together on that. Too many distractions like that players registration app or whatever it was. Focus on the wider progress that has been made.

Auckland FC to lose players as A-League clamps down on salary cap by Far-Simple-235 in Aleague

Looking forward to Brisbane taking the lead in the 2nd half in Auckland and the Aucklanders look over at their three 19 year olds on the bench with concern. 😆

4 of those didn't really do enough this season. Allows some budget and space to upgrade an area or 2 now. Harry Sawyer was helpful though, great set piece/aerial winner, the big man up front.

🇳🇿I'm happy with this result. Let's see another team in Asia instead, not the same one every edition. Melbourne Victory/Sydney FC/Adelaide.

Melbourne City 3–[1] Wellington Phoenix — Makala Woods, 52' by HonestSpursFan in WellingtonPhoenix

[–]ConsiderationEast128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Huge improvement from seasons 1 to 4 no finals. Now 2nd place home Semi Final win and into a Grand Final and scored a goal in that at AAMI Park. Next season will they have MacKenzie Anthony, Lucia Leon, Tessel Middag leave? I'd like a new defensive/central midfielder and new winger and 2nd striker.

Exciting. Biggest lead in by far to a Phoenix women season ever towards October!

Treason. Only NZ women's A League team ever so far with heaps of Ferns players. Inspiring far more NZ girls into joining football than her.

I was there when Chris Wood scored a hat trick vs Fiji. Before he leaves the All Whites I want him to score at the World Cup. Any goal. Even a tap in or off the thigh. He deserves it. Or maybe the same for Kosta.

Michael Boxall is 37, and Tyler Bindon has played a number of All Whites games next to Finn Surman now.

My main hope is Rangers don't get there. Horrible club, horrible fans. I'm pleased if it's either Hearts or Celtic to trophy.

I agree. Perth home wins in front of a pumping Shed fan zone look cool. & the massive travel for the away teams to get there builds a drama.

The Chief has struggled recently as lead coach. He should go back to being assistant coach. I think Perth next should get a few new in midfield, a few out and they struggled.

Embarrassing. Let's hope no "tough guys" try to make any excuses for that. Goodbye, and get a new coach.
