Gersbach has been so underwhelming.

He's played more than quadruple the minutes in this game as he has all season in the Danish league.

I know I'm opening up a can of worms here, but this sort of rubbish is literally one of the reasons why so many people I know don't take football seriously.

How is Buhagiar in this team.  He is useless.  Metcalfe very underwhelming so far

You Gotta be kidding??? Metcalfe best on ground tonight!! Iraq scored as soon as he came off. Cleur is by far the most underwhelming followed by Buhagiar and Baccus. You best head off to specsavers mate

Piscopo was the only one who knew what to do with the ball.  Think you need the glasses.

No chance.  That midfield aside from Piscopo was next to useless.

Pretty pathetic from Australia. O'Neill and Baccus were rubbish in midfield, and Toure did absolutely nothing for 90-minutes. Tough for him, considering Buhagiar and Piscopo were crap too and didn't really create much for him. Bars been set very low already, so the next performance is guaranteed to be better at least

Piscopo scored a cracker of a goal, the rest of his game was way below par. Most of his chances were set up by Metcalfe which he couldnt finish

It really should have been alright, it was the wide players that let us down in attack.

That midfield let us down, inability to keep the ball for more than three pass was my main concern.

Our goal came from nothing, great strike by Piscopo though incredible actually.

A lot of improvement is needed because Japan or Qatar will be a step above Iraq I fancy.

Apart from running like a headless chook what does Metcalfe bring as a player exactly? The whole midfield was wrong today.

Yeah Arnie coached sides normally get there width in attack from the Right and Left Back's bombing on unfortunately Gersbach looks like he needs some serious game time and Cleur looks very very cumbersome.

Um gee where do I start Barca....Excellent touch, great vision, both footed, aerial presence, eye for the killer pass, excellent at disrupting opposition play through the middle .... that enough for you?

Wow so Buhagiar just never got into it? Deng seems rusty. I thought Metcalfe did well. We had some chances and needed to score earlier on. Can't close out games.
