Instead off posting the whole list of stats, I'm going to do it more sequentially, bit by bit. 

I will do a lot more on the Oz and UAE formation  than in the past, as Australia was using quite an irregular 3-6-1 or 1-3-6-1.

In terms of possession based on completed passes:

Australia had 65% and the UAE 35%.



Australia 2, UAE 0.


In the last two games I've done recently with the more conventional 1-4-3-3 attacking midfield  triangle,  in terms of possession Australia achieved 75% against Iraq in Perth and 76% against Jordan in Jordan.

 Australia  beat Iraq 2-0 and lost 0-2 to Jordan.


Using the 1-3-6-1, Australia's possession decreased by circa 10% against the UAE.

Trent Sainsbury's stats.

Over the whole pitch he had a passing accuracy of 98% with 44 completed passes.

The all important defensive pass accuracy was 100%, completing 30.

He made 6 passes that were deemed difficult to complete.

This is interesting in that nearly one third of his passes were made in the attacking half. He was used as a ball playing CB who had many forays into midfield.

In 1v1 duels he had a ledger of plus 8 out of 22 contested.

In these 1v1s he dominated heading duels, winning 5 and losing 1.

H won 2 strength duels and lost 1.

He won 2 tackles out of 2 contested.

He made 3 intercepts from good reading of play.

He made 4 clearances.

He also had 6, 15 metre plus ball carries.

He  only committed 1 foul and won 4 free kicks.




He had a pretty good game.
