which of you were responsible for this back in 2009?

Brattan in midfield feels regressive. I think Poppa wants to grind the fist half. Rely on counters and set pieces. Then ring the changes with our best offensive threats coming on fresh. Irankunda, Goodwin and maybe Silvera and Arzani. 

Hunched sort of body language in tunnel. Delays aside, we need to invest big on sport psychology. Skill sure, but we do crash at critical moments.

surprised Japan didn't allow a delay

I see why Arnie wants a home from football. Listen to this atmospher

lots of bigger priorities though!

Japan did ask for a delay apparently, but the match commissioner did not allow it. 

He's got to start but Souttar on a yellow is worrying as next window is especially big.

Kuwaiti refs. ay not take kindly to our physical side. Can't see Japan mucking up too much themselves.

Here we go good luck everyone 

Really like McGree left and Hrustic right against an attacking opponent. We'll learn a lot about its viability. 

Soft pass by Hrustic and that's the first bit of space lost. We won't get many. Got to use them better.

Typical yellow there for McGree. Lucky. Those transitions are vital for both teams. Frustrating McGree couldn't nudge it to Bos. 

3 gold Shirts in midfield while Japan on ball and no one on a man so we're not goal side. Can't allow them seconds on the ball.

Free! Up we go! 

Kubo being given a lot of space on the right by Bos.

Need to tap more into guys like Geria. Consummate professional. So far great by him. Duke ball loss an annoyance. 

Watch those quick passes when we can get Robertson in. Promising. Shows how ball loss by Japan is an area that can leave them exposed.

Can't expect Duke to master every touch but the jump and flick headers to no one are annoying. 

Brattan has given it up twice already under pressure. This is a big step up in level for him. 

Can't really blame Miller for the pass. People had to move to it. More analysis on how not to get lost down that end as a 2 man attack is important.

Not sure if our 6's even mean those crisp passes but I'll take it. 

What is Lewis Miller about? He looks shocking every time I see him play, but he keeps getting games.

I blame him. It was literally a nothing pass.

Miller grabbing in box and Hrustic giving them the ball like that is criminal. Just don't.

Crap by Brattan. Bos doing well. Should have at least crossed it in.

Those inside winger roles suit them both very well 

Brattan has been poor so far. Irvine unsighted. I feel like Baccus would be better in this system. 

Very soft foul 

Maybe it looked good as a Miller pass actually entered a decent area. Someone trotting on edge of box could've gotten to it had they made the run earlier. Miller is still a terrible footballer and we need him out. Defensively dangerous puling like that in the box.

DOGSO ref! :D

No matter the result it has to be said that it is refreshing to play a team who aren't a bunch of time wasting, diving, bus parking pricks.  A team who play the game with honour.

Fuck West Asia, let's form our own confederation.

fkn boot it if you dont know

Behich should never be on a squad again. Bos looks fine. Needs that pass or maybe even stop there.

Ball wasn't out and idiots with hands up. Play the whistle!
