Hey Krow-jizz

Only a knucklehead like you could endorse the fundamentally faulty and flawed Naplan system. Do you also believe the world is flat too?

Guys chill out. It was clear that Verbeek was trialling some different situational formations and this shouldn't be a reflection of the upcoming performance.

What I do think was interesting was the opportunity to play a friendly against a team which Australia could be potentially facing if they make the Round of 16. Makes me wonder if there wasn't a bit of gamesmanship by Pim in holding back a few of his set plays.

Yeah, he went from his usual 4-2-3-1 to a completely different 4-2-3-1 to a revolutionary new 4-2-3-1 and then there was a little while where we dropped the midfield deeper and played 4-2-3-1.

The only difference we saw in formation was how deep our midfield line played.

Attacking, we looked better than we have. Defensively, we played like arse and would have struggled to keep a clean sheet against American Samoa. We can't seriously be happy with Moore at Center Back.

my god we were shocking... Grella was a joke and Kennedy... positioned himself well but now we know why he was axed in Germany... Although we did push up well from time to time. However the lack off well strung passes resulted in very sloppy turn overs...

Just heard that the boys found out about Jones' son a couple of hours before the game, perhaps it had something to do with the performance?

What's all this pessimism? We gifted them a goal, Bresc and Kennedy missed point blank, we had twice as many shots, and much more possession, and 10-3 in corners. One gifted goal to them, one late in the game when we were naturally going forward too much. To repeat - nine times out of ten we would have won the game.

Pretty convinient how you also forget to mention how they missed an open goal and had a goal disallowed that should have been given.

10 corners to 3. Domination of possession.

As opposed to a missed open goal and a goal disallowed due to (According to you) an offside that wasn't there.

You can either see the positives or the negatives.

I prefer seeing the positives, as complaining about it will achieve nothing... only anger and frustration.

Pim will be gone after the World Cup, he will not change his strategy at this point and complaining about it will do you no good now.
