Not ready for a full 90 just yet.

Really don't see what we're trying to do here. Especially surprised as we have Meulensteen who seems like a sharp football mind.

Fullbacks are really disappointing. Jones is a baffling call. Defending nothing to ride home about and his passing is diabolical. And if you're not going to offer anything offensively wtf are you doing?

Boyle is struggling. He seems awfully isolated and can't handle the pressure he is under. A ramification of this inverted system? 

And Duke too is not a player for these games. Maybe as a second 9 but he isn't unlocking anything. Can only chase down balls really. Even his hold up play has been terrible today.

This is all so predictable. So so rigid.

Agree. He's been given a lifetime ticket. So has Jackson Irvine by the looks of it. No other explanation for him being in the starting side. 

I get trying Bos on the right for a few minutes, but it quickly became apparent he was nowhere near as dangerous out there, and Boyle was as anonymous on the left as he was on the right. So why did Bid stay on the right for the rest of the half? Poor coaching.

Summed up well no identity out there.
On Jones baffling how we walked in saw him against Bahrain was very low  and same with Behic past it.

"trust the process" ffs what is this? A New Age therapy workshop? 

Syria will try and get O'Neill sent so he'll have to be subbed. We're so thin in midfield in this squad. One injury and it gets tougher. 

When why and how did this new system idea come in not to mention pinning it on two indeot fullbacks and clumsy players? I reckon the goal is to grind through. We know it'll be physical.

I have hope because of how we can and have played recently with the better players on. I think the plan is break down then bring the better players on but if we don't score they'll keep parking the bus. 

Nup. Jones is done. It's got to be that he's an early tournament sacrifice. 

Yengi and Silvera getting changed? 

Baccus and McGree definitely coming on now. 

O'Neill carded and knocked about. 

Goodness Jones is awful 

What a ball by O'Neill! Well in Burgess. 

The pitfalls of giving the incompetent the armband....

O'Neill Bos and Metcalfe off. Baccus McGree Silvera on. Makes enough sense. O'Neill can't be risked. Bos put in a shift. Metcalfe looks lost in this role. 

Wtf? Irvine stays on? How is this possible? 

Finally

Great run by Boyle and goal by irvine!!!

Poor setup from the beginning
Puzzling how Jones and Behic still there

lol

Irvine you 9 life cat! Fuck off. 1:0 Australia. 

I'll claim that one thanks. 

Thank you. That positivity.

Boyle finally did what he  used to do -trick his way into the pen area and a goal results to the much maligned Irvine who is Johnny on the spot.

I knew what I was doing there. I invited that goal. 

😀

How does the bloke pulling Duke down not get a card??????

Silvera and mcgree got that boro chemistry

Moment earlier where Behich was way up and Baccus on ball with space. His experience should tell him to peel and scream at Baccus to feed it.

Good work early by Boyle but the flick nearly stuffed if. FFS Maty just let it roll and catch it! 

So we'll have 7min of toying then they'll come hard and we'll panic. Irvine now awake instructing the midfield. 

boyle beautiful little run and cross into penalty area... completely empty lol

Go to the toilet now. One team will score guaranteed. 

Ref has allowed Syria too much. Yellows would reel them in allowing us to sprint by from time to time.
