Talking to yourself for a minute there :lol:

There'll be a proper match thread for the next one given it's on at a more agreeable hour.

Haven't seem many games lately.

UAE are panicking in their own half under pressure though.

Apparently COYS is in the YT chat

Edit: By the looks of it so is most of this thread

Barnzey m80.

Hoole with some great diving skills.

Leo, who's Woodrow?

The tackle was meh, but if he going to stop play in our half he has to give the card.

GK distribution shit, back four even worse

Nobody dives like the Arabs. If you can't beat 'em. Join 'em.

:?

I like this Afro guy :lol:

UAE player whinging for cheese going right to the top of the most punchable face charts.

Half time bangers on the stream

Donachie thinks all the action is @ his end of the pitch wtf

Balls to Maclaren any which way, please midfield is not hapnen

We don't have a single striker in the youth set up that will consistently be a threat in front of goal.

We have an abundance of talent in midfield, Some in defence and absolutely zilch up top.

Still really quite surprised that a lot of these guys aren't starting.

e.g. Socceroos Asian Cup XI was pretty much consistent, with players here and there being swapped out when necessary. Not sure I'm a fan of this 'two average sides' strategy.

Decent Strikers for lower league sides in Europe perhaps. But you can't rely on any of them to be consistent at National Team level. Say we are down 2-0 in the second half in a game. With someone like Cahill who will always have a chance to be a threat even if he is having a poor game, but there is no player coming through the youth system that can have that impact or we could rely on to score goals.

positioning , poisitioning

notice the crap positions half the boys put themselves in for A) delivery and B) recieval

the whole damn first half at the back they practically positioned themselves right in front or in between defenders for passes

Looking decent without doing much to create chances from what I have seen, which has not been all of the half by a long way

Ange is - Not a happy Ange! No Viddie, no love, sorry! :p

They've only had a week together and no friendlies. The masterclass in not creating chances is understandable.

There are major football nations that go years without a Cahill, in fairness.

I know that. But we will be in big big trouble in the coming years if we can't produce a striker who will atleast be a consistent threat. We can't rely on Cahill anymore.

Almost major egg on face there.

Pain doesn't have 1 trick in his bag.

For a forward, that is completely useless, 1 man wasted on the pitch, might as well play 10.
