Kuwait City: Mile Jedinak and Tim Cahill were the twin leadership pillars of the Socceroos team for the best part of 10 years, but Australian football also came to rely on the duo for goals. While their international retirements will undoubtedly leave the national team short on experience, their absence will also compel the squad to seek new and more varied routes to goal.

Highlighting how predictable the Socceroos' attack had become recent years, their last seven goals in competitive games came either from the head of Cahill or a Jedinak set-piece. Following their departure, new coach Graham Arnold has seized on the opportunity to rebuild Australia's attacking gameplan.

Arnold has spent the bulk of his first two training camps working on his attacking rotations in an attempt to create more chances for more players. An intensive restructure first took place at a camp in Turkey last month before being refined in Dubai last week. It will be on display for the first time against Kuwait on Monday night (Tuesday morning, Sydney time) in Kuwait City and could bear the hallmarks of some of Europe's elite.

"We've done a full analysis of the top teams across Europe; Manchester City breaking records last year with the most goals, Barca, Juve - we see a common theme to replicate, about getting numbers an area in the penalty box in front of goal. The more you get in, the more chance you have of scoring. Then it's about getting the delivery right," Arnold said.

Instead of being contained out wide, Australia will look to attack more centrally and aim to always have four players inside the box attacking every ball. The fluid attacking rotations Arnold employed to such effect in his trophy-laden spell at Sydney FC will be the basis of his style with the Socceroos.
