Nice shinny goal Kye. What a horrible watch. Good on Lebanon for pushing hard and forcing 2 good saves and so unlucky on hitting the post

Yep. That was probably the most boring game of football I have ever watched.

We were in the active bay and right behind those 2 saves. For a keeper of his ability you expect him to save them, but in the context of a WCQ when your team is under the pump in the last 10 minutes they were a great captains knock.

Just quietly the shot that hit the post was unbelievable. A couple of the Lebanon players could do ok as cut price replacements if we have another exodus (as long as the vibe manager beats the diving shit out of them).

Was Taggart shite or am I being too harsh?

I think you’re being over kind actually…

You just made the case for Niz.
Best passer of the ball since Bresciano.

He would be perfect and more disciplined than Hrustic. Or could play deeper instead of Baccas which he should

This team is pretty young now except for the strikers Goodwin and Matt Ryan. The transition is already happening.

Is it? Duke will still start when things get tough. Fornaroli is just filling a gap for now, Taggart meh. Leckie would be there if not injured. Boyle too. Behich still preferred LB at 33.

Except for the strikers is what i said. sorry missing a comma before Goodwin.
The midfield and the backs have changed. Behich is holding on but Bos should be there but Arnie is an idiot. Although Bos is pushing out goodwin for LW but shouldn’t be.
Duke will be fine by next world cup he is super fit. As in Leckie Boyle will make it as well. Fornaroli has just been filling holes in squads, he is hardly a mainstay of the team.

Josh Nisbet: Calling Out Apart-height

He’s arguably the best player in the A-League so you’d imagine Josh Nisbet would be spoiled for choice when it comes to overseas options. Not yet, apparently.

What a gorgeous ball from Goodwin - Souttar has to do better.

Needs more Nizz.

View from the ground.

I'm a fan of Metcalfe but he's been given enough chances and he hasn't taken them.

Not a very ambitious Australian side which I suppose is understandable, but doesn't make this good to watch. I'm trying to think of positives but none are coming to mind

Highlights of the night are the scoreboard showing us as 12-0 and 8-0 up at different stages and the kids playing at half time.

We're three up - put Niz on

 

[Stuartmcateer]

Yengi is a massive unit. Why is he soft as piss?

 

[Drew]

Let’s go nizzy!!!!

NIZ on!
