I'm not 100% certain that Irvine wasn't playing him onside 🤔

 

[true believer]

Completely absurd that an entire bench can mob the AR and absolutely nothing happens.

The managers who did that are supposed to be red carded.

I don't feel like we deserve a draw after how bad we were in attack.

so woeful

for sure

That was a goal. Lucky escape.
Pippa clueless again with his selection. Duke has to go

 

[Big Al]

Lucky VAR had the money on a draw. No pen or red on Duke. No goal there.

 

[Big Al]

Wasteful but Barrello has to shoot there but was probably offside though

It wasn't a pen. Contact was outside the box

Agree but just saying VAR was keen on a 0-0

I reckon he was JUST off. we're just looking at it from an angle. Wish we'd get the Hawkeye lines like in the AL

We played a poor formation against a weakened Saudi side who didn't play well either. We get run over in the midfield. Hrustic, Irvine in midfield were poor. Caceres anonymous. Miller and Bos both poor. Duke, O'Neil two of the better players. Gauci with a couple of good saves but can't play out from the back.

Ballard, Nisbet, Arzani and Irakunda need to be rhere in the next window.

We had the chances so I don't think the midfield was our problem tonight - though yes, they were pretty non-existent. We just can't score.

Though taking 2 strikers off to put 1 on doesn't help....

Nizzy is being so hard done by, he deserved to be our there. Irankunda perhaps.....Arzani is washed up though.

Our midfield regularly turned over the ball putting pressure on our defence. O'Neill and McGree were the only decent midfielder. Our best chances came from Duke's pressing when our midfield was bypassed.

I really think a back 4 would be a much better formation.

 

[Allreet?]

Any NT coach who leaves out Nizz or Irankunda... and doesn't play Balard... FFS... deserves everything coming his way.

What an absolute prick.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Poppa is Arnie from Temu. Shit coach who shithoused his way to 1 trophy 10 years ago.
Boy Wonder was exactly what they needed in the last 15 and Max anchoring the midfield.

 

[Melange]

He took 1 good free kick once.

I'm not a fan either, but I think you're way too harsh on him. He also had a 2 minute stint last night where he went ok.

High line needs speed to get around or behind it. Pitty the only fast attacker i can think of was left in Germany (he was however horrible in his few games)

I thought Caceras brought a calmness to the ball and was good.

Bos and Miller were horrible. Saudi knew what was coming but that would be Bos worst game in a long time. Constantly turning it over trying to take on two players when it wasn’t on.

Personally I think he is overrated.

He has has a a monumental trajectory, I dare you to do the same annd not go off the boil some, at that age!😎

 

[capauau]

We are still second on goal difference after the first complete home and away games playing all teams
Other game results keep going our way fortunately
