Behich can't buy a cross

Nepal's manager looks like a ice addict  searching for his next hit!

Should have started as he has been getting game time as opposed to Behich.  Our coaches love picking players on reputation. 

How was that denied? What a horrible decision, and how didn’t the ref overrule it? Lol.

Bs should have been a own goal..

Poor Leckie 

The starting XI was: Redmayne, Grant, Wright, Jurman, Behich, Amini, Jeggo, Brandon O’Neill, Mabil, Duke, Goodwin.

Subs that came on were Spiranovic, Petratos, Taggart,  Ryan Williams, Smith and Borrello.

Should be 4, unless defenders can be offside against themselves lol

good old AFC refs

That is up their with the worst refereeing decisions i have ever seen and yes that includes those banned and fined for match fixing.

Not sure that they're gonna learn it at this age. It's more a matter for skill acquisition during a player's teenage years

At least in the old days we would smash these teams.  Now we struggle to put 3 past them.  Get rid of Arnie.  He is clueless.  Playing the worst brand of football for a very long time. 

Souttar is an international giant

Gives the impression that neither are really sure about the rules of the game

Was a good call for offside if went through to the Aussie... 

Surely being in a professional environment and touching a ball 5 days a week would give you enough practice to learn the fucking skill.  Most of these guys are based in Europe ffs.  How do they get away with it. 

I might be able to buy that the linesmen somehow thought that an Aussie player interfered, but the ref was was in a good position and i assume has functioning eyes to see that came off the Nepal player.

Exactly, linesman could have mis-seen it, the ref had no excuse.

I am at the ground. The Aussie intensity dropped off remarkably after we went three up. I’d like to see them put four in the back of the net in the second half. Souttar will be tested against stronger opposition, notwithstanding it’s a good story. He’s too slow on the ball. I imagine Degenek will start against Taiwan. 

The pitch seems to have an Aelaide Oval feel to it, a few giraffe touches out there. Not nice.

Need to push for a better score than Kuwaits 7-0

If that was my team at HF I would be ripping into them, a few can hold their heads high

Behich has 10mins to make a cross or off

Goodwin needs to get more involved

Maclaren little impact other than two goals (not looking for him at all in attack)

Irvine invisible

Raiders played two weeks ago and its had a lot of traffic in the last few months. They got it in pretty good shape all things considered.

The fringe players not really taking their opportunities in this game... This would be my msg to them, impress me, make it so I no choice but to pick you next game

Agreed that we need to steer towards more one touch play Mooy I've noticed a lot is quite slow on the ball when he can play a pass 2-3 touches earlier but will go a safer option. A lot of the East and South East Asian nations are being coached that now so it will be important to learn how to defend against it too. 

As expected comfortable tonight although a bit scrappy at times and I hope we don't play like this in the 2nd round of qualifiers unlucky for Leckie but I'm sure he'll have more opportunities in the second half. Interesting that the Nepal coach has started arguably their best player on the bench.

I dont think i rate Jackson every time i see him play i think he is just too ineffective

Definitely could be a selection of two cheeses for the Nepal number 14 there, which is a pity because he's provided the only football worth watching by Nepal.

sick of seeing our boys get hacked to death in Asia someones going to get badly injured

This ref is fucking rubbish.
