Yep massive bus parked that didn’t pay off, first was surprised by the unchanged line up now three players out for Egypt in a must win game. Five at the back and they get a header it’s a pretty bad way to concede, could have accepted a worldly but just a defence mistake brings it all undone. Massive game on Wednesday, don’t know what to expect of Egypt

their a good side typical arabic counter attacking football .then hang 10 men off the bar .
the unchanged line up was madness .when mcgree came out at half time you could see he was f'kd .
watts , tillio and d'agastino should have started

 

[FFC Mariner]

what a shame .why the f'k didn't channel 7 show this game

Ch7 stuff. They hate football

Disappointing but only losing 1 nil was a bonus.Spain were technically way above us-not surprising as most play in la liga .Their pressing and monstering of our midfield was impressive-McGree and Generau were under pressure every time they had the ball,hence many poor passes.Arzani showed some attacking prowess particularly ion the first half and got back to help the defenders.

Souttar and Atkinson were strong in defence -shame about the latter's second yellow.Rowles played well ion his cameo but could not cut out the cross to the goalscorer who took his chance well.

Egypt will be difficult but beatable.

Bryan Gil, who came off the bench for Spain the other night and looked great down the left hand side, has just joined Tottenham from Sevilla for a bucketload of cash. Looking at the big picture HOW GOOD is this Aussie team doing, the A-League has done something right. Put a couple past Egypt and anything can happen in knockout games ?

The combined team value for Spain on Transfer Market was $900 million and for the Aussies $22 million. Fourteen Spanish players had individual values more than the Aussies combined.

It goes to show you how inflated the European market is and also how underated our players are..

This. This is exactly what I'm talking about.

Also, while I'm here, this is the team I would be starting against Egypt. Thoughts?

Glover
Pierias - Deng - Souttar - King
Genreau Metcalf
Tilio Watts Arzani
D'Agostino

Would also love to see Piscopo feature at some point or even start.

Don't even need to beat Egypt to get through. A draw will do but puts us against Brazil more than likely.

Pretty well what I think Arnie will put out.Genreau did not go well against Spain but my have more room against Egypt-if he is not going well bring on Baccus.I also would like to see Piscopo given a run.

 

[true believer]

poor football playing 4 across the line and the midfield is stand in their 4 blocking .
drop into the f'ing space MOVVVVVVVVVE

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Both teams played for the draw. Last 20 minutes was about as boring as it gets.

Do we go more aggressive with that backline or defensive and shift Deng to RB, Rowles with Souttar in CB?

 

[marinermick]

Arnie is not shifting the centre two stoppers.

 

[Wombat]

Genreau has been the weakest link so far.

 

[Ben10]

Arnie has shown he can play three at the back, which doesn't have to be defensive at all, quite the opposite.
Drop Genreau to the bench and bring kye in.

--------------Glover---------------
------Deng--Souttar--Rowles-----

[sydmariner]

kye rowles is starting at wb

 

[sydmariner]

all we need is a win or a draw to advance

 

[true believer]

fmd pull wales off and put on piscope

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Souttar should be on a taxi to the airport at half time for letting that goal through. Disgusting

 

[Ozhammer]

Arnie runs the risk of throwing this game away by not using some fresher legs and rotating his squad
