I would rather watch the team under Ange any day to some 3rd rate European who has us playing like cowards.

LOL Arnie, he had a breakdown less than 18 months ago. He needs way more therapy to get back. 

Also he shot himself in the foot over save the nix, too outspoken. Frank doesnt want that. 

We have some coaches who have some potential but we dont have many to choose from, you need someone with a ton of experience coaching especially at international level and we just dont have that calibre of coach yet in our system, maybe Arnie but hes quite a progmatic coach. 
A coach that can get the very best out of every player and not pigeon hole to a system. 

But the elephant in the room should not be the coach, Ange is quite a skilled coach but like with any team you need the quality and at the moment we just dont have that enough. 

Have actually beaten a team ranked higher than us under Ange?

Ah okay, thanks for that.

I agree. I didn't notice it at the time, but lately I have been thinking the Asian Cup win was the worst thing that could have happened to Australia football at the time.

im in no way convinced saudi can pull off a winagainst japan with the pressure on, still alot of mind games to play out

I was crucified for bringing this up a few years back. Truth is the Asian cup (of which they beat average teams at home, and did lose to sk in group games anyway) papered over ange's cracks ewwwww but you get my point.

Bozza for coach

Is he the coach to take you guys through the play offs? 

He looked shocked at the result and completely unable to comprehend what went wrong.

City Sam,
He basically said he was dissappointed with the way we played,he took full responsibility for the result,looked down at the ground and seemed like he wanted to cry. The gravity of the situation seemed to catch up with hime.Before he kept saying we were going to qualify amd now it's out of our hands.So he couldn't continue with the same mantra and was left speechless as to what next.Simon Hill left it at that.

Ange makes our best players play badly.

Well said OP, pretty much sums it up.

Ange is as arrogant a coach as i have ever seen. He thinks he is Mourinho but in reality he is Steve Mcclaren.

No fecking idea on how create a team out of the players he has, he expects the players to suit his Barca type of setup which a total of zero of the players do for their clubs.
Sorry Postanoclue but you are a fraud

spain has ruined ryan

:)

I didn't see the post game interview, say anything interesting?

Ahhh the daggers are out..
On the post game interview Ange looked like he was at breaking point .
It's sad it's come to this.He has done a lot for football in Australia.But his inflexibility looks like being his downfall.
We could easily have stacked the defence this game with fast wingers and Macca waiting for counter attacking opportunities,which would have come with Japan needing to win.We only needed a draw.
I can't say I'm looking forward to Arnie being National coach though.His style is very dutch and defensive.We will be getting monstered most games ,waiting for the one or two counter attacking opportunities.

I'm with you as well.  It's nice to have a local if there is one good enough but there isn't. 

Anyway Ange will be there until the end of the world cup or until we fail to qualify probably 

Next coach needs to be someone with Euro pedigree imo.

We've tried the Aussie made, home grown Vegemite way and it got us an Asian Cup but sadly we're teetering on the edge of not making the next WC now.

Time for fresh insight.

If Pim of Holger were in this position they would of been sacked 

I hated Pim and thought Holger was under qualified to coach Australia but they were both leagues ahead of Ange 

Arnie would be a better choice than Ange at the moment. 

The interview with Ange just sums it up. He has no idea what went wrong and what to do. Just cause Arnie done alright Sydney doesn't mean he even close to the roos. He hasn't change at all since his CCM days and roos Asian cup.

Does the positioning involve him being moved to the bench?

I'm a goalkeeper coach in Holland ill voulenteer to teach Ryan positioning?

Agreed.
We need to go back to a foreign coach, one that can work with what they've got without being either of the two extremes (Holger or Ange).
Pim and Holger deservedly get criticism from their times in charge, but at least they got us to automatic qualification to the world cup.

Lol great minds think alike 

This. 

Australian national team coach is one of the best paying National team coach positions in the world we should be going for world class or just below that nothing less

This. 

No Australian coach is currently good enough to be the NT coach.
