So given Australias recent results i think it  would only be fair to post another poll given we have won a few matches. So ill change the question to. "Post Asian cup, do you want Arnold to lead Australia to the WCQ and potentially Confederations Cup? and do you feel confident he can get us to the next world cup from what you have seen from him so far?" 

I dont think we have looked impressive at all but i am a believer that results are all that matter in the end of the day and the man has got us to a reasonable stage (given a pen shoot out can go either way) and he needs to be given 'credit' for that because even though we should be beating every team we have faced due to the sheer fact our squad is superior (however not as superior as some here might think) he has had to deal with a number of injuries to key players most notable would of Mooy and regardless he has kept us in the competition this long. 

Im still  Arnold out though i would say i am less 'Arnold out' then I was after losing to Jordan... I dont think he really has the tactical nous to beat a superior squad (ie i cant see us beating a Japan)  but i am also a realist and know most 'top quality' coaches dont want to manage an Australia (esp dealing with our moronic FFA) unless they are making the big $$$ I also like the idea of having an Australian coach our national team it builds a bit of an identity 

So leave you comments at this stage im posting this one far less angry then i was when we lost to Jordan 

Peace out

Its bad news for everyone, but its also a fact, you can blame a person or look at the actual issues

Getting rid of Arnie won't fix all our problems, but it will fix one.
