Nice work into the box but the shot is just wide
Mentally we fell apart in that first half and are forced to fight our way out of a hole here

Thailand defending quite narrow and happy to waste time by giving away fouls at the halfway

Referee loses patience though and one of those fouls becomes a second yellow
We are now up against 10 men
Thailand playing suoer narrow inviting us to cross and head the ball but we keep trying to pass our way through their block
We seem very poor in the air so might be a good gambit

Younis drubbles through their defence but his chip is straight to the goal keeper with several unmarked aussies in the box

Bit worried with 15 minutes to go...this feels a little like the olyroos campaign
When things go wrong and you miss easy chances that can start to become contagious

Thailabd generate their first chance of the game on the counter but it is a tame effort

Late in this half we have tried a few crosses but they have been very poor. We do look good going through them but havent finished off some clear chances

Younis gets rugby tackled, ref calls advantage as the ball rolls to the keeper harmlessly then calls play on.

2 crosses into the box are poor
Gk time wastes, our player presses and the goal keeper then takes a touch and time wastes for another minute

Match summary
1st half was scrappy with no clear chances. We concede when a back passes slowly runs under our gks boot. His second howler this tournament. Hope his future is brighter than what we have seen here
Thailand commit to time wasting and parking the bus for the final hour. They defend narrow in defence which makes it touch for us since we have little threat out wide, cant cross and cant head. In the second half we create a lot of clear cut chances early going through their deep narrow block. But we cant finish them. Thailand get a red card but remarkably the chances dry up
Game ends with thailand winning despite not generating a chance
These are 2nd string players but i think most are a league level actually. Hope to see their debuts

The own goal we conceded was reminiscent to Rob Green for England in the 2008 euro qualifiers which England didn’t qualify from.
Very unnecessary and avoidable goal to concede from, it’s a shame because they still played good football and create some good chances which they didn’t take but that’s football.
However it was not close to our best team so it was quite assuring we got good depth for the upcoming qualifiers and tournament for next year to choose from.
It should make for quite a competitive team.

+xLike the olyroos we are weirdly naive to time wasting tactics It's one thing when I was coaching kids to look out for. If you find yourselves behind give yourself every chance to reduce the time lost to the point when I had players on the bench warming up across the sideline to prevent time wastage. It worked very well. Shocking this hasn't been pointed out at this level.

In the olyroos case we had an incredible 60 shots for no goals

Australia Australia score off a corber
Malaysia are defending very narrow like thailand with 2 rows of 4. Normally you have 2 players in front of the block of 8 to press the ball. Malaysia have 1 press the players in front of the 8 and another to press beside the 8 and put pressure on the cross
Again seem to be gambling on the fact our crossing and heading is poor so we can cross under limited pressure with only one wide defender
