How does Arnold fit Mooy, Rogic and Hrustic into the same team?

A heartbreaking loss to Japan on Tuesday night in Saitama will not stop the Socceroos.


After a record-setting 11-match winning streak, Graham Arnold’s men have a newly acquired and built-in confidence and belief that will stand them in good stead for the reminder of the Qatar 2022 qualifying campaign and into the short-term future.


The fruits of a great deal of hard work have been on display, all achieved under the demands of travel and primarily ‘away’ play. A new crop of players have begun to make their marks in national colours and Arnold himself looks to be coaching better than ever.


There is so much to be positive about moving ahead, yet, like many of you, I went to bed in a mighty bad mood after a late goal pinched what could well have been a valuable point for the Socceroos against Japan.


One of the best sporting truisms I’ve heard is, “When you lose, you learn” and the Socceroos’ staff will be looking intently at the areas of concern that were obvious on Tuesday night.


The Australians were poor in the first half, potentially set up incorrectly and everything appeared to be happening in slow motion. Most critically, the midfield looked a mess.


I have been consistent in my belief that the Socceroos struggle with Aaron Mooy and Tom Rogic on the pitch at the same time. Equally talented players, something clunky exists between them and with neither blessed with sparkling speed, Arnold should perhaps be looking to permanently alter their roles and his use of Ajdin Hrustic.


Potentially the Socceroos’ most consistent player in the campaign thus far, Hrustic seems to balance up the midfield and looks like the man most likely to control it. The calls to play him more centrally more often are valid.


However, where does that leave Mooy in a 4-3-1-2 formation? As we saw against Japan, he struggles somewhat when shifted wider than his traditional central midfield slot.


The intent of bringing Hrustic into the game more frequently and decisively was met, yet the Japanese exposed the Australians’ weaknesses and lack of speed down the left on numerous occasions.


As a part of the 4-2-3-1 employed against Oman, Hrustic and Awer Mabil looked strong on the left with Mooy beginning the match on the bench. It appears wherever Hrustic is deployed, a strength is formed.


However, the logical by-product of that is that cracks appear elsewhere and Arnold then struggles to successfully plug those gaps, as he did during the first half against the Japanese.


It all forms something of a conundrum for the manager.

Seemingly certain to continue to play Mooy regularly in the future, Arnold must decide whether the formation must change depending on his selection and if so, whether Hrustic’s return to the left side of defensive midfield in a 4-3-1-2 is the most advantageous use of his talents?
