Jacob Italiano

Yes, I've gone down the path of probably what I think is the biggest opportunity, which is depth in the right and left wingbacks.

We've seen at the World Cup, we suffered some injuries leading in with Miller and we also picked up injuries within the tournament with Italiano and Boss, leaving the wingback spots very bare with limited opportunities and centre-backs used to counterpart it and plus switching of the flanks.

So I think I'm looking in that direction, and I'm also looking at the number nine.

We're a little bit thin bear up at the nine.

I'm sure that's a sentiment shared by a lot of people.

Mick had Jelicic, I'm sorry, Jelicic, Clayton Taylor, Reece Uli, Miguel De Pizio and Ante Suto and Matt had Casey Boss, Satsford needing minutes before the Asian Cup in His opinion, and this one was from Graham who did ask this question just after we finished recording last weekend, which is a very interesting one.

Will Keely Adamson overtake Italiano in the next couple of seasons at right wing back? So what do you make of a few of those picks, Mapa?

Yeah, I obviously agree with...

Yes.

Unfortunately, Jacob Italiano subbed off injured, which not very good for us Socceroos fans at this point in time.

Do we know the extent of the injury at the moment?

Not yet.

Lewis Miller, still haven't seen anything as far as him coming back and playing football regularly, but I would put him in our best 11.

Jacob Italiano has done a great job at right wing back in his absence.

If I'm missing someone, remind me.

Is there a chance that we have now better opportunity with the Asian Cup being delayed to see our best XI truly take the park?

He came off the bench and played 32 minutes.

Also worth shouting out Jacob Italiano, who played 90 minutes in a nil-all draw with Salzburg.

So it's some more wing backs getting some match minutes

Yeah, especially good to see Italiano getting 90 minutes for club, because obviously he's had a few injury issues.

And then we also saw Max Ballard play 85 minutes in NAC Breda's 1-0 win.

Over in Austria, Jacob Italiano played a full game as Grazer drew nil all with Salzburg.

In the Czech Republic, Garang Kuol played 79 minutes for Jablonec in a 1-0 away win over Brno.

And then Hungary, Ferencváros drew 1-1 w- with Debrecen, with Arzani playing 58 minutes.
