I don't think his job is as easy as people thinkOriginally Posted by hawk
Not forget that when he arrived the cupboard was bare of players thanks to Verbeek and Osiek perseverance with the 2006 generation
Ange has had to develop a squad from way behind the 8 ball
Leckie Mooy all 26
Ryan Juric Sainsbury all 25
Rogic Luongo Irvine Wright all 24
Smith Degenek all 23
He has only had Milligan Jedinak Kruse and Cahill who have ever qualified for a WC before and Timmy aside none of them were starring figures in previous sides
Ange has actually set the next man up well as he will leave with a core group with 30 or so caps and comfortable at this level experience wise and good for another 2WCQ campaigns
Fingers crossed in the next few years we can see some of these blokes push into bigger leagues and clubs
Fingers crossed we can also find a ****ing striker as Ange has been handicapped by lack of options his entire reign
This is actually our hardest WCQ campaign in Asia so far and it was always going to be
Next one we should be much better placed to succeed
