That Lebanon player lying down then suddenly sprints way forward... Our forwards were hanging onside and Hrustic too slow.

Both goals the first time with help of the post and Yengi tonight and now that from Souttar. 

Duke and jones a bit invisible that match

Would move metcalfe to wide rm like he plays for st pauli and put nisbet on then consider subbing duke for iredale taggart or fornaroli

Perhaps a match fitness issue

He looked amazing for 15 minutes last game but faded

Hrustic is trying to do a little too much all the time.  That's why he is the king of turnovers.  

Metcalfe  plz don't let the guy shoot. Awful at shooting. 

Duke is useless and a waste of space. Can't hold the ball or linking up.  No idea why he is there.

It is just one of those things. Preliminary games where they won't overexert themselves. I guess most of us only see highlights of the other teas which make it look spectacular but I think there's probably a lot of slow play but the big names across the confederation. The fear, as always, is once we face those teams will we be entirely ready? The Asian Cup quarter final played exactly into our ways but for the finishing.

How good is Goodwin 

Oh an own goal. Nicely seen by assistant because if Irvine claims it quickly the flag goes up.

Absolute best in all areas. The width he gives us and how he can just get the ball in. NOW HE GOES AND DOES THAT! Why can't he be 23 years old?

Subs very soon. Get Yazbek on for Metcalfe. Iredale for Duke. Nisbet for Irvine. 

Almost as good as the post

Said it after the world cup. How on earth is Goodwin lamenting in the Arabic leagues.  He has so much quality should be playing in Europe.

Goodwins late career peak is as good as any roo i can remember

I think oz football is becoming like oz cricket because of our short season at all levels, players are older when they hit their peak

Yazbek wearing the six

Wonder what role he plays. He can play 6 8 or 10 for viking

Ouch that should have been a red if we had var

Ref has been awful both games allowing rediculous amount of foul play from lebanon

The way he just got back up again and lashed out from behind. Hope it's nothing bad. Rough window for injuries but we're getting more and more depth and have been without Hrustic for a while. 

Classiest player we have had since Mooys retirement.
Wed be up the creek without his guile delivery and finish.
Main pleasure watching the Roos hope the young ones watch learn and follow.

That just feels so good. Yazbek so composed and Iredale with something of a tap in but we've had strikers who'd bottle that. So glad.

iredale and yengi. The future of australias attack.  both score tonight.  Need to keep persisting with them. Fornaroli taggart and duke are all finish and shouldn't be anywhere near the line up.

The front 3 running for that goal. Yazbek, Iredale and Nisbet in behind. Unthinkable 12 months ago. Need more of it.

Irvine has been fantastic. He was everywhere.

It appears he's better if alone as he knows he has to do the work. I've seen many double 6's not function as they keep trying to delegate or be indecisive. Switch to a single and that player is suddenly everywhere. 

New Canberra crowd record for Football. Has the stadium been extended? This incudes the infamous Iran Iraq Asian Cup game. 

Evidence again in Asia and football in general. You won't score unless you get it central.

Most definitely. I think I'd keep tabs on Taggart as he's proven at Asian qualifying higher level unlike Maclaren. Duke and Fornaroli must be omitted. 

Has deng fulfilled his potential? 27 playing in j league thought he was great years ago

We advance. Two dead rubbers in June. If we make the Olympics it'd be good to play the Olyroos and the main team have had a gruelling season. Even go as far as including a lot of domestic players as it's a flight to Bangladesh and then return in Perth. Many players should be given an extended rest in the European sun. Not to forget they had a winter tournament. 

Craig Goodwin Fussballgott.

If things went differently, he'd be playing in the top 5 leagues of Europe and tbh he really should have far more than just 24 caps.

Also when was the last time an Australian born player has made their international debut against Australia?

Got to give credit where it’s due to Arnie even though it’s the easiest stage.

4 games into the campaign with 4 wins, 0 draws or losses. 15 goals, 0 conceded. Already qualified for the next round first before any other team, with 2 games to spare.

We’re expected to dominate this group obviously, but this was just ruthless. And we know it doesn’t always happen like we expect in these groups.
