Jet lag is a factor for us and we did look sluggish. Jordan players by contrast are all local

Having said that we played well with jet lag against saudi, qatar and during the waff

Olyroos lineup vs Indonesia:

                                   Beach
Italiano.......Popovic.......Courtney-Perkins........Mauragis
..................................Teague........................................
................Hollman.......................Jelacic..................
......Segecic................Toure..................Velupillay......

A lot more of an attacking and counter-attacking lineup. This is better.

That's a strong 11. I'd replace Mauragis with Farrell and Velupillay with G. Kuol.

If that's the plan, that is shocking. 

I'd make a few subs next game. 

Natta and Girdwood-Reich for Courtney Perkins and Popovic. Jelacic for Hollman and maybe Hollman slots to the 8 for Youlley. Toure for Alou. Segecic for Brook. Italiano for Talbot

                       Beach
Italiano.        Girdwood-Reich.       Natta.          Farrell
                           Teague
                  Hollman           Jelacic
Segecic                    Toure                Milanovic

I think this is the start of a much stronger core. 


Pretty similar from the front 6 that I wanted. Milanovic/Velupillay. 

Defence is interesting to keep the same CB's. Would like Natta's set-piece presence against Indonesia. Farrell did have a poor game

interesting we aren't rotating cbs, so gk cbs and 6 are presumably what vidmar thinks is our best

farrel had a poor game but is way better than mauragis, so fair enough rotating him. Back him to get back into the team. I think farrel has a ceiling in the big 5 but he has been inconsistent for the olyroos it has to be said. He might also be fatigued by the long season which is harder on a young body

agree those are stronger players. Could be rotating or farrel could be out of form since he is better

It's just annoying because Farrell would've done way better against a side like this.

No idea why Mo Toure was given the penalty. He just has no fluidity in his shooting, you could tell he was going to miss it. The runup was so telling of where he was going to shoot it as well.

Look nervous. Still the energy is good

Man if Irankunda was playing there's no way Indonesia could play with such a high line. The counter-attack would be too intense.

So many unforced errors from oz but the energy is good. If they can get through this match they might start to get the confidence back

Mentally i think theyve been off this tournament

Meanwhile indonesian fans singing a peruvian song

Man this is so brutal. If we don't make it out of the group. Vidmar has to go. Also, Velupillay has been a net negative today. Make a half-time sub.

I know it we are gonna lose.  This is the worse U23 squad. Panic and can't keep possession. This coach should get fired immediately.

Arnie got a weaker team to qualify so definitely a coaching issue
