3 at the back was an abject failure. Cut up time and time again through wing play from the Iraq's.

This "Angeball" doesn't work - we simply aren't good enough to pass it through the midfield without making mistakes and coughing it up. Every time we do, we give the ball up and the Iraq's broke. If they were a bit more dangerous we'd be looking at a loss. Someone said it in the match thread - Ange's idealism (forcing us to play from the back) puts us in danger time and time again.

We haven't scored from open play (no set pieces) in 3 games. We looked second best in Thailand, and we looked second best here. This isn't good enough from the best in the region.

We continue to select players who don't play (Kruse, Smith), while players who are in good form (Troisi, Behich, Goodwin) hardly get a run.

Ange out.
