The art of the overlapping centre-back

Sheffield United are surpassing expectations this season, with the former relegation favourites currently sitting seventh on the Premier League table. Sheffield United have been in and out of the Championship and League One in the last decade, but the takeover of Chris Wilder as manager has been a turning point. Wilder replaced Nigel Adkins in […]

I agree it would benefit TV viewers which therefore allows people to be more invested emotionally in the game.

What will look different with the return of the A-League?

I actually think Basha has been quite decent this season, although I do agree that Melbourne Victory has had some bad luck with injuries.

I agree, about Thomas. He has not looked the same since last season’s semi-final.

I agree that the list of players may not be great. However, that’s good because Melbourne Victory have the freedom to not resign the players, and can build a squad almost from scratch.

Football isn’t just about scoring goals, though. They do need a creative midfielder and one or two strikers (maybe a young Australian backup and a foreign starting striker), and with that, they may be able to contend. The problem then becomes resigning the contracts of the players they want to keep.

In my opinion, Donachie has been consistently good in a below-average Melbourne Victory side, which is hard to do. He definitely isn’t one of the league’s top centre-backs, but his consistency should be valued heading into next season.

Kevin Muscat seems happy in his job in Belgium, although to be honest, I’m not completely sure what he was doing as there seemed to be a few visa issues with his move. I also don’t think that Victory’s board would go after Kevin Muscat again, as it would outline their decision to let him go as poor.

While I agree that part of Melbourne Victory’s revival will be whether SFC, City, Glory etc fall back, they need to be a challenger for the finals positions, and they will have to get there themselves.

I think your observations of Marco Rojas are unfair; he’s only played in five games for Melbourne Victory. I also didn’t give Kamsoba too much ‘love’, I simply stated that he could play on both wings and in the playmaking position if needed.

In my opinion, next season will be crucial for recruitment for Melbourne Victory, as they have only really had one poor season of foreign signings. We’ll have to see what next season brings…

Interesting interview, Doran, with some great questions asked. I listened to him talking with Adam Peacock on the fox football podcast, and he seemed to be very strong about his opinions, saying that player agents were the worst thing in Australian football, if I remember correctly. How was he when you interviewed him?

I don’t know, sometimes it’s hard to predict how good a player can be. While Ufuk Talay did bring over Cameron devlin, he was their third choice centre mid until Alex Rufer got injured.

He seems like a great guy and seems to be mentally strong. He is exactly what the Mariners need in their rebuild.

He was never in the starting lineup for Sydney, as far as I can recall.

He was wonderful to speak to and was very open.

Thanks, Doran. I agree about Stensness, I feel like he consistently slips under the radar in terms of his consistent performances; he is an extremely valuable player for a club who is looking for stability.

The main reason Australian A-League clubs don’t often field New Zealand players is that they count as imports. Central Coast Mariners currently have two of their import spots taken up by Michael McGlinchey and Gianni Stensness.

Great article, Nick. Robbie Fowler has been underestimated in terms of tactics this season, and this in-depth analysis shows that he has been an astute tactically. Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to assemble this article?

That’s a great idea! She is quite popular so I don’t know whether she would respond but I’ll try to contact her. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks! I think it might be pretty hard to get Ben Halloran or Robbie Kruse but it’s worth a try. That would be a great conversation!
