Lucas was great tonight. Not sure about the yelling at the crowd thing, but I feel very safe in defending his spot in the team after that performance.

Franjic was great. Bresciano was best on park in the first half IMO.

Rogic looked great and I am a fan. But is he good enough to start?

And I won't disagree with you but you can only do so much on the field against teams like Canada and Costa Rica. If he deserves his spot he better be earning it with his club in the next few months just like any other player.

Yes absolutely.

I was merely asking if anyone else noticed it. Maybe have a good read next time, hell, for your sake read it twice before you spit garbage out your mouth. For the record, what message does it send when your captain has a verbal spray at his fans?

Good game Neill played very well defensively and his passing out from the back was very good had to step up and did. Leckie played well rogic needs game time and will be a gun kruse played well and cahill another goal. Jedinak stood up to had his best game for the roos

alot better game by the roos.

Pretty average crowd tbh. FFa should've just let Perth have the game.

There was decent game out there and some of us are focusing on the crowds? YAY. I've lived long enough to understand that Perth just wont get games. lol

I dont stare at the crowds but the performances.

I was actually impressed . Davison boy why hasnt he had more games? Also I has bagged rogic in the past but he can play. Costs rica where the first to qualify from central America no mugs at all

But then it would have to be an earlier k.o to accommodate the east coast TV audience, and everyone would be crying about it being too hot :lol:

To be fair though the defence looked fragile at times against canada too but tonight looked pretty damn solid

solid performance all round. I wouldn't get to excited being that costa rica missing a number of players. But a good place to start from. Rogic needs to find another team, SPL is not for him.

You're right. After that match, your first post was to have a dig at Neil.

Really agree on all points, thought those 4 did really well and I thought Bresciano was quite poor. Looked very slow and cumbersome that far up the pitch.

Rogic was class and Jedi showed why he's captaining an EPL club.

I though Leckie was impressive, great work rate. with Leckie Kruse and Oar starting we will be deadly with speed in transition


Dario had a quiet game, better suited to a central role. He and Rogic will be in contention for CAM when Bresciano is banned..

When Cahill moved to the wide right position it was a fail.. would have preferred him to drop deep centre and move Mackay up the pitch.. probably highlights our right wing has less depth then I think, Kruse Ruka .... thats about it..

Rogic needs to move to Holland or Belgium, where Im sure he would get game time. If he moves to a club like Club Brugge or Anderlecht , he will probably have a lot more scouts from bigger teams looking at him. Even if he does well at Celtic, Im not sure if teams will be that convinced about him since the competition is so weak at the moment. Belgium is a hotbed of talent at the moment.

Not a game till March farkkk

A good start for a new national team in the process of reinventing itself! Not the greatest performance but a good start. Some basic mistakes that should be addressed in time. In Ange we trust!

Just showed close footage of Lucas having a go at the crowd sounds like he said "what the fuck do you think I'm doing".

I replayed it a couple of times and couldn't really make out what he said, maybe that was it.

Yep such a shit situation - finally a positive coach with a longterm outlook and now there's bugger all time for him to achieve (well, at least until the WC). I think that shows why so many are talking about the Asian Cup rather than the World Cup.

Looking for some positives, we did win the game so great for the confidence, clearly the enthusiasm has returned BUT.............if we discount the Fox commentary glossing, we were pretty average against a very average Costa Rica, in fact probably one of the worst sides to visit our shores. I guess the bottom line is the first 11 outside Timmy and bresch is unknown. A long long way to go before we can be competitive in Brazil.

Mrmcjewpants said he said "why the fuck are you booing"

I thought he said 'why the fuck are you booing'

"Who the fuck are you booing"*

That seems more likely.

I think Lucas reacting shows that the speculation and talk has got to him.

Vidosic was invisible all game. Worst player on the park.

Jedinak was MOM. I think we as fans often get too caught up in 'who is the best passer' or 'who is the best going forward'. Jedinak won countless balls tonight and really gave us some world class steel in midfield. With a team full of pretty passing players, SOMEONE has to defend, and that someone is Mile Jedinak. Such a beast.
