Jale can do this too- head the ball in as a 9. As proven at alw level. She should start versus Italy on Friday. Hopefully Chance and Longo can get more minutes and Foster too. Percival given captains armband suggests that Ali Riley is not certain to be a starter. It did appear like Percival wasn’t 100% at times last night with a bit of a limp or favouring one side. But that is to be expected after such a long time out. So if she doesn’t play at all against Italy then that is probably for the best to rest her. I’m delighted with the result that will give them a big boost. The coach has to be trusted now. She is qualified and has had heaps of time to see who is fully fit- likely why Chance didn’t start. But if she doesn’t start in the World Cup because India and Jacqui are playing better then that is great for the team. Feverish
I think we need someone who can head a ball at 9 and HW might be the best option
Percival and Riley are co-captains so I'd expect to see both wearing the armband over the tournament. Both are likely to start most games, Percival more liekly to be subbed, although, personally I rate Foster over Riley at LB.
Love Foster but Ali Riley is a much more accomplished and skillful footballer. Hopefully there is a way we can get both on the park at once - but think best avenues of doing that are putting Riley at CB/RB (not sure if preferable to other options) or putting Mickey Foster on the wing (but again Hand/IP Riley just impressed there and Chance is an option too)
In a not very serious note because it won't happen. Put Foster up front. #9. Strong physical player, kicks off both feet with a great shot, Has an eye for goal, Can she hold up the ball and distribute ?. (probably better than we saw last night) Could do worse. But certainly won't happen this tournament. She played forward in the NL last year and scored buckets of goals.....
