After a lively return to Australia's starting XI, the 28-year-old has turned his attention to Melbourne Victory's championship tilt
James Troisi reckons he did everything he could on Tuesday - bar score a goal - to maintain a starting berth with the Socceroos, while he also gave Ange Postecoglou's new formation the thumbs up.
The Melbourne Victory attacking midfielder started in place of the suspended Aaron Mooy against United Arab Emirates and was lively throughout the World Cup qualifier at Allianz Stadium, with his delivery from corners leading to Australia's goals in their 2-0 victory.
In his first start for the Socceroos since June 2015, Troisi believes he made a strong case to play again when Australia host Saudi Arabia in June - despite the likely availability of Mooy and fellow playmaker Tom Rogic, who is working his way back from injury.
