Are they nervous or something?

Probably a multitude of things. But just look at the U23's in 2022, U17s and U20's last year. It's always poor.

someone needs to tell tell these dumb players you don't have to rush the ball every single time.  Just be careful with ball possession.

We know that now we are going to have to deal with primitive time wasting again next half. And we know our players are continuously unnecessarily going to foul

Even without our euro contingent this is the best u23 squad we have had in 20 years of this tournament. So it is frustrating how far we have to go

The coach has to get blame here given our last two performances were top 4 finished with weaker sides

Terrible manager. Vidmar couldn’t pick his nose let alone a football team . Velupillay and Maraugis for heavens sake. Wish Gurdwood -Reich , Farrell and Garang Kuol could get on the park. Irankunda should be there . That is on Vidmar as well

The foul that led up to the goal was so stupid. The number of times we have given a foul away ehen the attacker has their bsck turned is painfully naive

Going into a tournament all the press was about irankunda

That has to be distracting

Mo Toure has been the best player but has been a bit selfish but is a threat which is all you can ask. We have no threats on the wings. Segecic and Velupillay aren't creating. The midfield are losing every duel and the defence is rushing.

Tbf even though it is our best squad on paper, the competition has improved immensely, there are no easy games anymore. This Indonesian side basically dominated our senior team a few months ago until we scored some leaky goals.

Milanovic for Velupillay is one sub I'd make instantly. I'd really question bringing on Garang on the right for Hollman and moving Segecic to the 10. He isn't good enough on the wing.

When Tourre got in behind on the left and cut back to himself then shot there looked to be two or three teammates totally free of defenders and the keeper. If he had not been selfish it was a clear goal to put the pass through.

When Indonesia get near the goal they are looking for a pass or a shot.

Team work for goals seems beyond us.

When I wear their colours, I am the club.

It's just that Irankunda wasn't selected to stay and finish his season with Adelaide and look he is in great form because of it but now they aren't even going to make finals so we should've brought him. The whole reason of him staying was to make finals with Adelaide.

Toure is a selfish player for sure but he is also our only threat, can just hope he passes next time because if we take him off we have nothing going forward.

The fact that Vidmar hasn't made a substitution at half time is fireable. We need to get a result, losing would make very hard. There's a lot of reason to believe we are gonna face lots of time wasting in the last 20+ minutes of this game, the time to score is in the next 25 minutes. Make a halftime sub. Like wtf

Segecic hasn't had a chance because our midfield can't make a simple 5 metre pass. Holman is a gun in the a league, but is being made to look like a hack. How are Courtney Perkins & Popovic starting CBs over JGR & Natta?!! Velupillay over Irankunda hey Tony?!! Great selection you muppet. Another great shot by Toure!! This is garbage.

It is our best cohort but that's with all the Europeans players that weren't available. I wouldn't say this squad is our best.

Bringing on Brook and Valadon is such a random change. I just don't get it. Milanovic and Garang are actual players that can make something happen.

Toure trying. He desperately needs weekly starts. Get him to League 1 or 2 for a full season.
