Give them below, either just numbers or a soliloquy to match for each player

Hall 8
Kikianis 9
Agosti 7.5
Pearman 7
Yull 7.5
Badalato 9
Okon 8.5
Bennie 9
Esposito 8
Tallidera 8
Lisolaski 7.5
Herrington 7
Jovanovic 8
Toure 8
Mehmeti 7
Deli 8
Quintal 7.5
Inserra 7

No one below 7, just a great tournament 16 goals for only 6 conceded. Worked through the thirds, big variety of goals, technically great only weaknesses was aerial clearances, lazy positioning on the opposite side of the play and accuracy of long passes

How great too that we beat the best sides in the tournament namely Iraq and Japan. These two were very good sides and had their own good victories.

I thought kiki, espisto, okon, Pearman, bolato,Bennie and toure really stood out

Are you sure you got all the players that got minutes? I could have sworn that Randazzo had 30 minutes in the group stage. And there may be one more. Don't have the time to check.

Torn on Toure - when he plays he is great to watch but then there are times he just fades hardly knowing that he was playing.

All players had game time during tournament except 3rd choice keeper so great squad rotation. So bold to make those 3 big changes for the final, albeit he reversed them all at half time.

A bit different from yours, Grazor.

Only saw Lisolalski and Inserra in the final playing as full backs. Both were awful at 1v1 defending without the ball in terms of delaying, showing, jockeying and tackling in that final, with the goals conceded one or both of their faults.

Morgan changed Bennie to RB, who was then missed as a wide attacker, and the underrated Tallidera. Both these guys, particularly Bennie, defend well as FBs.

Inserra was good on the ball though.

Saw the last 4 games, but missed the matches against Kryg and Qatar. I thought Badolata was inconsistent, in those 4 matches. His best was in the final. Off line an NPL player just told me, Badolata didn't even impress that player in the final. The winning goal against Iraq was brilliant though!

My best over those 4 games, in no particular order, were Bennie, Okon, Kikianis and keeper Hall.

Bennie - effective going forwards and playing either wing or RB. Terrific ball winner defensively. Moved off the ball well to open passing lanes for teammates.

Okon - good reader of the game, always showing up slightly ahead of the play, to be exactly where the opposition didn't want him in BPO. Good ball winner, unlike his Dad. Very composed on the ball, but needs not to dribble in the defensive half.

Kikianis - barely made any mistakes. Very solid as a ball winner and ball player. Good defensive positioning most of the time.

Hall - usually good distribution on the deck and made some wonderful saves and timely intercepts coming off his line.

 

[Decentric]

Deli impressed me too - with fast handling speed in passing and moving sequences in tight spaces , and some rugged tackling! He showed for the ball well too, supporting the ball carriers.

Loved him upending Al Sharmani, who had been bullying our forwards and attacking mids, even if it resulted in a yellow card. It was a perfect left footed sliding tackle, getting the ball and the man - with the cocky Al Sharmani going airborne! He would have felt it. Deli only came on as a sub.

Would like to see Macarthur play Deli in a midfield triangle with Hollman and Brattan, in a 4-3-3, or a 3--4-3 midfield diamond adding DDS too.

Thought Toure was good whenever he was on the pitch against China, Iraq and Japan, but his strength and speed, and skill on the ball, were negated by some quick and strong, well positioned Saudi defenders.

 

[Decentric]

Pearman, Badolato and Quintal were all skilful on the ball, but need to become more rugged in 1v1 body on body contests. The Saudi defence in particular bullied them. Conversely, Toure and Jovanovic held their own in the physical duels against the best ball winners in opposition teams.
