Shame antonis got injured. Was looking forward to seeing him now he is in form in a decent league

Great to see kruse back. Our best player imo

Leckie in career best form too apparently

Funny I feel like we've rarely seen much from Kruse. I find whenever he gets the ball on the wing he loses his head and his runs amount to very little, when he gets past defenders its often with an element of luck. Obviously the kid can play otherwise he wouldn't be in a Bundesliga side.
But I just feel like we must be missing something from him.

Yeh i guess i should clarify that. I think he has the most ability.

I think fit and firing he is our best, which he hasnt been able to do for Australia consistently. But then again who has? Matt Ryan is probably the title holder currently

Yeh for sure hes done though now. Time to move on. Super sub at best. Especially with giannou in the mix now. If he wasnt a national treasure i reckon ange would have phased him out already

I think it's starting to appear that way but I'll pass judgment after Giannou faces a stronger line up. He looked excellent on the back of very little training but it was Tajikistan.

Kruse and leckie showed a good example of the vast difference in football ability between the two imo

Like i said. Our best player

Liking what im seeing from mooy too though. Such a complete player. Tackling and good engine to add to his touch and creativity. I wonder where his ceiling is?

Yeah very impressed with Kruse. I agree Mooy is class. I'll be very surprised if he's not in Europe next season.
