you guys mightn't have noticed but there's this little known guy in the Socceroos squad for the World Cup

he only has one cap to his name but I'm going out alone here in saying that I think he's going to go on to be bigger than a thousand Messis and Ronaldos (both kinds) put together

I think the Australian football media should get behind this guy in much the same way they didn't with Kaz Patafta

A few quality post from Reddit this morning.


[–]ZombfeudThe most loved, and the most hated :) 13 points 5 hours ago
It's almost scary how far above the rest he is, I mean for his second appearance, he already looks like he's gonna give Harry Kewell a run for his money as 'our most talented ever export' and he isn't even in the top flight unlike Mooy, which he has also outclassed



[–]ZombfeudThe most loved, and the most hated :) 3 points 5 hours ago
Just imagine what his form will be after playing in top flight, we could be witnessing the birth of the Australian Pele

The Australian Pelé. That's an insult to Ray Parlour and also the brazillian one, forget his name.

Kruse. Lol.

Arzani. Reminds me of when Kewell first came into the team. He has confidence now. If he can possibly score one goal at this world cup he will be one of the most sought after players in the world

I mean the Kruse part is fair enough, then he falls off the edge of the world with the rest of it. One of the most sought after players in the world!!

this is a very valid point

he actually didn't play too badly against Hungary - two good things of note, the goal and the through ball to Irving that led to the own goal

but taking one's penis out of one's hand for just a second - his goal was more due to a keeping error and the through ball was made possible by poor defending by Hungary in giving him that much space and allowing Irving to run inside from the flank like that

but back to the point, if he even lives up to half the hype that the masturbating media are fapping on about, he'll fill a much needed gaping hole in the national side

it's not like anyone wants him to fail, we'd all love to see him live up to the hype - the problem is with the hype

If Arzani is going to start, Irvine has to start in place of Rogic. Rogic won't make runs like that, he is the laziest player... a luxury Celtic at 3,000,000 better than their nearest rival can afford and one that we cannot.

I had a big analogy about Rogic but basically he isn't a great player. Playing for Celtic in the SPL, does well, playing for Celtic in the UCL, missing, plays for Australia, very hot and cold. Irvine is a better option against teams better than us..i.e the other 31 teams at the World Cup.

How funny is it going to be when Nabbout starts and Dimi comes off the bench instead of Arzani for the first 2 games and the facebookers just can't even.

Then once we are knocked out Arzani will get a few minutes and the Aussie public will cream their pants when he makes a pass to Cahill. Arzani playing at the world cup will be bigger than winning the Asian Cup to these people. Harry Kewell reincarnated.

The world is rabidly hot taking the Arzani vs Mbappe "who is the best young player at the Cup" debate.

Agreed. he was more effective than Kruse.

Anyone replacing Kruse would look effective and stand out.

He had several chances to pass to players in better positions, but chose to take on 2-3 players and did nothing with the ball.

Also had his first dive of the world cup, so thats nice.

When he had his shot, he should've kept it low, or just drove it into the 6 yard box instead.

Poor decision making from the best Australian footballer.

Frodo
22-06-2018, 09:52 AM
If we are being adults about this, at which point we are in the wrong thread, Arzani wasn't better than Kruse last night.

Kruse, who is not a great footballer by anyone's standards, did really well to open the game up and caused Dalgaard problems. He gave plenty of space for Mooy and Behich to move into when we had possesion and kept moving into the right spaces all night.

But!!! His crossing and touch under pressure is woeful. He can't put the ball where it needs to be. Which is super dooper frustrating when on the other side Leckie, and Rogic to an extent, were running at defenders and either getting around them or at worst keeping the ball.

Also we can't really fault him defensively last night either.

Now, Armani on the other hand, came on when the game was long, open and players had begun to tire. He did well with what he was presented with, but I honestly don't think he would have been as good as Kruse had he started. If he doesn't track his fullback or Delany starts doubling up on the right side, as he can do, Behich and especially Milligan would have been in trouble. Plus, after 10 minutes they would have worked him out and pushed him down the line and shoved him off the ball. Lucky he didn't get carded for crying at the ref too.

I know it's disgusting to say. but Kruse actually warranted his spot in the team last night. "Shudder"


That and Arzanadu is rubbish and should get back under Timmy's giant cash filled shadow.

Arzani is exactly why our Dutch Mango sucking coaching system needs to go

The reason this bloke looks good to everyone is that we dont see blokes run at players now in this country

It is coached out of the kids with the pass pass pass retain posession BS that the Aussie coaches have swallowed hook line and sinker from the Dutch Mango suckers

To be fair Arzani isnt that good

He is just a better version of James Virgili

Virgili is quick and looks great when you allow him to run a players and give him space but that is about it with him.
If you limit his speed option the rest of his game fails him which is why he never "madei it" at HAL level

Arzani is a better skilled player than Virgili

But

He is still primarily the same


I reckon in time opposition will work him out and will expose his limitations

Giving away that card he did was also dumb as it was half way he had old mate for speed and got a card for little reason other than stupidity

He’s still considering which one to go with.
He’s going through all the offers from teams in Europe.
So far he’s had a look at Budgewoi, Central Coast and Gosford. Will be interesting to see what Wyong offer.

I hope the kid gets a move to a good club, can work on further developing his skills and becomes the creative, threatening player we need to start progressing again as a nation.

I'm not in for smashing him any more. I won't cheer him if he stays at City but he's got the potential to be a better option to those we've seen on the left.

every single one of the South Korean and Japanese players at the World Cup was way more dangerous on the ball that Arzani.

Daniel Arzani should be the kind of player we leave out of World Cup squads because he only has one perceived strength.

yet here we are telling everyone he is the new benchmark.

we have no hope.

Pretty much all on the mongs at FFA and there love affair with the dutch system and all things Han Berger. about 6 years ago i got to watch a few times in one season a team that cost parents > 1k for the season for there kids to be in only to see them getting there asses kicked to the tune of double figures by halftime most Saturday mornings.

You could put your house on these kids playing it out from the back and conceding goals from wayward back passing all day long. In actual fact and i kid you not if these kids even looked like taking a risk and taking on a opponent or a dare i say long ball they would get hooked for a break on the bench for deviating from the mantra/curriculum . I also recall a season later watching a girls rep team from up the valley play a few times and same same. Play it out from the back lose count of the number of back passes and side passes and once again a cricket score would be put on them by half time. The busiest of players in both those sides were there respective keepers, Either dealing with back passes or picking the ball out of the net. Brings back memories of when Couscous was coaching and BK and Birraz were our busiest and ultimately player of the season recipients. It was often said the word " header " was not even in the several hundred page curriculum.

Gallop and his fellow gooses have single handedly backed a curriculum that has ruined a generation of footballers by taking away any attacking flair/instinct a player had and curriculum'd it out of them. Its no wonder we can't score goals from open play to save ourselves with such a defensive possession safety first mentality right across the park.

Sorry to rant but on this issue i am so with the Member. This dutch style is just so shite and frustrating. But don't despair the ones peddling this style as great are the also the ones who tell you winning the possession and completed passes stats is equally as important as winning the match FFS.

I'm not a coach, nor do I have any coaching qualifications. I'm just a fan.

It might be naive but if I were educating kids I'd focus on being flexible, teaching them not just one but many formations, intelligence to solve issues out on the pitch.

From the sound of things are we so rigid and unwavering in our approach that it's to the detriment of our players (read as students)?

That's surely not the Dutch way - sounds more like we've been given a manual, we've read the first chapter and thought "yeah I get the gist of this" and gone out to start teaching, missing the point entirely. If not in the application, it's in the ability (or lack there of) of those who are training the coaches to convey the message?

Both were associations teams. Seeing the boys team consistently get hidings was a bit hard to watch and not sure the parents liked forking out the big $$$$ just to see the boys not enjoy it so much and almost always on the wrong side of the scoreboard by hefty margins.

At that age i would think it would be more important to see who has natural instinct for the game and can play the game as it unfolds in front them.

so one of those 'northern select' deals?

cause if so then thats the exact type of situation the new platform is designed to eliminate (and seems to have so far). the responsibility is on the clubs, and the clubs get the direct benefit of producing good players.

kids teams go straight from their club development squads to the Jets squads. the club squads then continue so the local clubs remain strong and any late bloomers can then be cherry picked by the jets later on.

i know at least in our case cash has never been an issue, and its prob no surprise that the clubs taking it seriously have some unreal kids in their midst. again, its early doors, and the outside influences have yet to rear their heads, but with some strong leadership, esp from the Jets and the clubs. it looks like the best kids will get the best chance at succeeding.

The bit about the coaches reading the manual thinking they got this and completely missing the mark is pretty much bang on the money

The Dutch system can be effective but the way our coaches have interpreted it is so one dimensional

They have taken the 4-3-3 part the possession retaining aspect the move the ball side to side part

And forgotten the rest of it

Forward runs breaking the line
Running off the ball
Dribbling
One twos to break the lines
Playing forward passes to teammates not unmarked
Longer passes that actually find a teammate and not hopeful hoof up the park to break lines
Tempo of ball movement in the final 3rd
Etc

These are things good Dutch sides do


But no

It side to side passing waiting for a gap to open
Passing back and forth between the Back 4 keeper and 6-8 as they afraid to play forward as it all abput possession
Failing to take risks to attack as it opens up the opportunity to cough up the ball / Possession at all costs philosophy
Rigid formations with players sticking to certain parts of the pitch like it netball



You want to see how ****ed we are at it.

Watch people taking throw ins

Now if your taking a throw in you watch how often as Aussie player looks to throw it forwards...

Most of the time they do not even look that way at all But they turn and throw it tpowards their goal.

So they go back.

Because Possession is drummed into them so much they play like cowards and retreat first

I have no idea how people can seriously think Arzani deserves a move above the A league. He hasn't even established himself in this league. He is a level below Joey Champness and we don't even rate him as a starter.

Joey's stats 2017/18 were 25 games, 5 goals and 2 assists.
Arzani's stats 2017/18 were 16 games, 2 goals and 2 assists.

So Champness played in a team that finished higher in the league, had more of an offensive impact and played more minutes than Arzani. No one even thinks he will be a starter next year. Yet people from this forum think Arzani has the potential to play in Europe??? Give me a break.

He's way too old for an academy, but he is too young to make an impact in a first team in a higher league, so someone please tell me why a move to anywhere else would be a good move for him? Other than so I don't have to ever hear about him again...

You got misplaced ambitions here I think

1. As much as you appreciate Ramos as master of the dark arts, Suarez is certainly up there too. Haven’t seen him play a great deal aside from his Liverpool and World Cup games, but he certainly has the art perfected.
While he did get caught out a few times, I dare say 90% of the time he went to ground with contact, the art was getting the contact and he fell easily, but watch the replays and you can’t deny there was contact. Plus, his antics were keeping Rodgers in a job. Now, Arzani is an up and coming youth player trying to break into first team, and falling over ain’t gonna impress him.

2. Arzani and his diving or going to ground easily worked because the referees often thought city were Sydney and have free kicks when they see a sky blue jersey.

3. His cameo at World Cup, he didn’t show much desire to go to ground.

4. While I didn’t agree with his inclusion in the national team, if he pulls on a gold jersey, I’ll support him and cheer any goals. He’s not quite a gypo.

I don't know anything about ACL injuries other than some players recover from them but most of them never come back as good.
Arzani's best traits are his agility and ability to change direction - take that away and you are left with a very average player.
I think he's a dick but I'd still like to see him make a full recovery and then fail because he wasn't good enough - rather than fail because of an injury.

our greatest ever player is yet to even make the bench for Celtic - clearly the fault lies with Scottish football

Heard he had been injured again with minor injuries hampering his comeback

Probably just saving his talents for cup finals and the latter stages of the Europa League. He's too good for the SPL anyways.

Targeting a Boxing Day match comeback, don’t know if there’s been setbacks since them.

I hope he does well tbh, we need somebody to be excited about.
However he didn’t do much to deserve anything better than a starting spot at an a league club, didn’t deserve World Cup or a transfer to city for anything but the purpose of circumventing our transfer rules and loaning him to melb city.

Arzani has stepped things up from evades to self-isolating his way out of Scotland and back to Australia. SPL is probably going to fold now that Arzani has left.

Fans are already protesting calling the SPL a pissant competition without Daniel Arzani.

The hype train strolled into Utrecht, made 4 short appearances off the bench, sat on the bench for another few weeks, got dropped to U21s for another 6 games and then got dropped to their bench as well. His agent is trying to get him recalled and sent elsewhere.

Lmao, I wonder when the penny will drop and he'll work out where his actual level is? Cause it's beneath Eredivisie U21s apparently.

Ffs.
Bloke should be able to sue fox for Famation (Opposite of defamation?) and misinformation.
Barely starts for Victory. And touted as our next Messi.
He’s still young. But bloody hell, he should’ve stayed in the a league and tried to “boss it”. I’d be pressed to find a player who successfully club hops for their own benefit and development.
His agent owes a lot to fox though.

Arzani has played a total of 1911 mins of club football in his entire career, 65% of that was in the A League in his first 2 seasons. So he's played 660 mins of football in 3 seasons, most of which is in youth comps. At no point has he ever made an impact on a team to warrant them either resigning him or asking to keep him for another season (he was already signed to a 2 year deal at Celtic before he unfortunately got injured). There has never been a better example of over-hyped than this kid.

But it's still shocks me to think that he had less minutes of professional football than Johnny K did when he went to the world cup. Johnny was the more accomplished player and more talented but was nowhere near the quality required of the World Cup, neither was Arzani. How anyone thought he was ready to move on the from the league, let alone make a meaningful impact at the world cup, will baffle me until the end of my days. Advertisers picking the squad seems like the most likely answer, especially given a mostly-retired Cahill making the team as well.

he cant even nail a starting spot in our very underwhelming olympic side and Arnie wants to give him run in a side that Arnie said, "will be our strongest we can put on the park", fark we are in deep shit....

Daniel Arzani arrived at Celtic on loan from the monied Man City after impressing at the recent World Cup, being the youngest player in the tournament. He had pace and style, and a great touch on the ball, skills you just can’t teach https://gamesecrxguide.com/.

Reflect on something that we had at the Jets many moons ago. To paraphrase a certain chant I can see this happening...

CHOO CHOO!!!! Get on board folks - the arzani hype train is gathering steam after one good performance (including one goal from a lucky deflection). Don't miss the chance to get on board!!!!

Nabbout might be on there too - Simon Hill said during his match something like "that's Nabbout's 8th goal in 20 matches. A good reminder to Arnie that he's still in the mix".

To be fair to Arzani, that’s his best (?only) 90 minutes of football he’s played in his career.
An assist and a goal.

He got a Socceroos call up and a contract with Man City for far less.
Can only assume he’s taking Spanish lessons now to prepare for life in madrid.
