Juric and Rogic are dead set donkeys, Have they ever performed to a acceptable level in a national jersey ?. Honk'n plodders both of them

Could be worse. Troisi missed out.
Bert’s fresh eye over things has been good.
Doubt Petratos or Dimi would be getting a run under Ange or Arnold.
And by Dimi I mean Nabbout

Oops.
Some of my thoughts on the game have already been covered by others, but I'll reiterate:
- Risdon... Please piss this bloke off and out of the team.. He's trying, sure, but hes just not good enough..
- Aziz, love the bloke.. Made the odd error, but overall I thought he did quite well.
- Rogic.. No more. Irvine in his place.
- Mooy was great. I don't care what the Membah is blaming him for.
- Nabbout didn't have much to do in an attacking sense, but he ran his arse off the whole time chasing everything down and putting in a big shift defending from the front.. Juric didn't do a tenth of that work.. The only sense I can see in that substitution is if Nabbout was rooted from all the chasing he'd been doing..
- Sainsbury was awesome.. Made some great tackles. (Even though it pains me to say it, as he still has the stench of gypo on him)..
Its disappointing that we didn't get something out of the game. Once again, VAR has left its mark.
If you'd told me before the game that it would finish 2-1, I would have taken it (as I had assumed we would get pumped after how poorly we defended against Hungary)..
Overall, I thought we showed a lot of heart, not a lot of scoring prowess, but I can handle losing when the boys give 100%.. Can't ask for much more than that.

Lucas Neill to come in and atone for 2006?
Might as well have a traffic cone
Serious question
How bad are we going if he is the best RB in the country??
It should be pointed out Fullback is a specialist position
We need to actual treat it as such and stop having ****wit coaches like GVE sticking Pepper there trying make them a Full back
Same with the ****s and Cowburn
We also need to stop ****wit coaches playing Broxham and Nigro at Fullback in a GF winning side
Is it any wonder our stocks are that low when the coaches are doing this shit ??
Remember when we stunk and had no midfield and GVE played Brilliante back there so then Brilliante left because why would you put up with such disrespect.
Those were the days.
Anyway the counter point is always Marcello being an actual #10 but Madrid and Brazil ran out of shirts so they are like "here, you're still a #10 but you gotta stand back there and do it".
Plague jnrs team was smashing thses poor jamokes on sunday so the coach put the 2 best players at right and left back to 'seemingly' take it easy except it just gave the 2 best players more time and room to pick the other team apart and they scored more goals as a consequence.
Coach kind of said afterwards, he wasnt used to footballers playing back there.
kind of a funny comment, kind of a sad comment that we just try and find the fastest bloke in a straight line to play there.
Seems that Marcello and Dani Alves have taught us nothing.
When you look at Alves and Marcelo they are gun attacking weapons playing at fullback
Talking to a guy who played wide attacker who got moved back to fullback last year and he loves it.
Gets to see the game more
Gets involved more
Similar role but he comes in selectively and late
The fast kids dont play full back though
The kids who cant kick a ball play there
The bigger kid with a decent kick and no skills plays central defence
The better talented kids play midfield
The quick kids go up front
