Costa played well, he always beats his man and he tried his shot on a few occasions. Draper was fantastic. He made a lot of runs, created space and looked dangerous. he even got on the scoresheet. I really would love to see these youngsters in action on sunday. Even only for 10/15'.
I think they deserve it.
I agree. It's gotta happen. And sooner rather than later.
Some game time for Draper and Costa can only be positive. See if they've got the temperament for the (local) big time. There are younger players doing well in other world leagues.
[And have just spotted zinidane's post earlier in this thread... He said:]
Costa was a revelation...up until he came on things were quiet....he immediately was beating players and getting dangerous crosses into the box. Set up a couple of goals and scored himself I think. Still can't understand how he doesn't get a run....even off the bench.
Bottom line: Could these youngsters really be worse than our current striker options which are woeful by A-League standards (apart from Smeltz)?
