A-League Mens 24/25 - Round 23 (+Rd 14)

What is your knowledge on him? I know he just signed his first professional contract.
He is playing really well.

very little. He seems to have a killer shot, be good at carrying the ball and has good passing range. He is born 2006 so might be a smoky for the u20 world cup despite only just winning his spot. We are weak in full back options

This is a crazy game.

Both teams are playing hot potato through the middle third. It is not 'attack at all costs' as they pass backwards, sideways and forwards but there is no appearance of protecting the ball. Move it on to the next player as quickly as possible and 50% turnovers against 50% dangerous retention.

Very entertaining when either team gets into the final third with some fantastic crossing and passing - and the odd brilliant finish to keep the scoreboard moving for both teams as well.

AU v Bulls is a goal fest and plenty of niggle with Mauk heavily involved( he scored a cracker of a goal) and he is getting under the skin of the Bulls players.

What's in the water in Adelaide, 7 goals and just past the hour mark!

 

[booney52]

Crawford certainly looks the goods -he has a big engine and he is an excellent crosser of the ball.

apart from 2 goals that were gk mistakes it wasn't even bad defending. The xg is pretty low but every shot going in today!

Lol. Poor Adelaide. Coming back from an offside position.

 

[Barca4life]

That game was nuts (10 goals) if you include the disallowed goal by VAR.

This league keeps on delivering in terms of entertainment haha.

 

[Muz]

Bratten's free kick was a corker. Wicked dip.

 

[WhatAmIWatching]

Now that was sporting entertainment.

Delianov our poorest GK for a long time; lets us down every game he plays.
Playing out from the back is suicide, why do they keep doing it.

9 goals wow, Good game of football. Happy bulls got the win.

The comparison with Noah James on wednesday for the Jets is quite stark.

When Delianov first broke into the team as a young player, he looked like he had quite a lot of potential. However, the injuries really stifled his development and then he had other younger goalies come in and take his place while he was out and do better (Gauci), so it’s really interesting to see where he is now compared to where it looked like he would be.
