Goodness gracious this performance by bos against a team miles on top of the juliper league....
Westerlo better hope scouts arent watching...

I only started watching osaussies in around 2009 so i never saw the golden gen at their peak, but this is honestly the most dominant performance ive seen from an aussie since 09.
Just dribbling past players for fun, beat two players and ran the length of the field through the entire team only to pass it to someone  who ripped over

Perfectly weighted through balls, runs in behind where he will give a sublime first touch in a curl a cross to a players feet in a crowded box

Fotmob only giving him a score of 6.5 so perhaps ive missed some flaws in his defensive game, but his offensive game this game is phenomenal

Was Bos playing LB or LW?

Judging by the formation in FotMob he played LB - his best position.

Thanks for the response. I've wondered why Arnold plays Bos higher in the NT when we have decent options there.

Never understood why Bos played as a left winger at the Asian Cup, we all know he's a jet as a left back.

Because Arnie lacks game-plan and formation creativity with having a left footed cross heavy Goodwin and Bos playing together. He'd rather just cop out and put Behich at the back with either of the others. Underutilising two of our best and most potential players is a crime.

JRB off after 25min. Hope nothing too serious.

What a shocking performance by Bilokapic in conceding 5. Still losing his head.

Boro highlights. Late Silvera goal. Glover still suspect.

What a great response from bilapovic coach

Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson backed goalkeeper Nicholas Bilokapic to learn from an error-strewn display in his side’s damaging 5-2 defeat at Wycombe.

Bilokapic, 21, was directly at fault for two of Wycombe’s goals, with Kieran Sadlier and David Wheeler both capitalising.

Ferguson mounted a passionate defence of his young goalkeeper and refused to criticise the Australian.

He said: “It was a tough day for the boy, he knows he’s made mistakes but I have to stick by him.

“I’m not coming here to criticise him, he needs my help. A big part of my job, especially with a squad with young players, is to stick by them.

“A lot of the criticism he’s got has been unjust, but that’s happened before at this club. There’s something about young goalkeepers fans don’t like but I have to stick by him.”

Posh fell behind through an own goal from Archie Collins and the hosts doubled their lead on the cusp of half-time through captain Jack Grimmer’s low finish.

Sadlier added a third before David Ajiboye and an own goal from Ryan Tafazolli threatened to turn the game on its head.

But the hosts held firm to score two more through substitutes Sam Vokes and Wheeler late on.

Ferguson added: “Sometimes it’s easy to play at 3-0 down, the pressure was off. But what I will say is that at least we had a bit of a goal for that short period.

He has good physical attributes but he makes a lot of mistakes, been poor for the Olyroos in the past and I've the Peterborough fans are done with him. Still think he is number 1 but I'd consider bringing Gauci to the Olympics over him as overage

Hasn't been mentioned but Boyle scored and was assisted by a Triantis long ball yesterday. Boyle also got his own assist on another play. 

Watched these highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC-hDftIu1E

Triantis had a strong game, few defensive blocks and a few good long balls (an assist) which is one of his specialities.

Holy shit. Those highlights from Bilokapic. 

That's one of the worst professional keeper performances I've ever seen. He was shocking in all 5 of those goals. 

3.2 rating on Fotmob is honestly generous.

I like Nieuwenhof a lot. I think he'll slowly gain experience and before we realise it we'll have a seasoned pro. These minutes are invalueble.

Agree re: Gauci. It would be fantastic experience for him too which can help the senior NT.

O'Neill man of the match. Great to see the fans saying that he deserved it even without the goal. I think Arnie needs to reassess our starting #6. I like what Baccus brings to the team, but not as a starter.
