Midfield is getting found out… no one able to receive the ball under pressure or with the ability to feint.

This has been a problem since Mooy retired.

Metcalfe is presenting a lot better than I thought he would. Gone up considerably in my estimation. Actually looking to attack and make something happen. Seems to be ok with Italiano ans said above.
 
Just got home. Will watch the Canadian comms - fuck paramount

I agree, Metcalfe is actually holding up better than I expected. First 30 minutes he was really strong.

I don't want to sound like a dying record but that's literally Robbo's best ability, the ability to receive the ball under-pressure and feint. But again, I understand why he isn't playing.

I don't think I've ever been less enthused to watch us play than under Popovic. It is shit to watch that's for sure. Boring and frustrating.

Cough up possession ever single time we are under pressure but still try and play out from the back.

Canada press the CBs, ball comes out wide, Canadians press, no one offering, lose possession. Repeat 50 times.

Irankunda has touched the ball facing their goal about twice which makes sense when we can't play through their lines.

Japan home was way worse.

As football 360 is independent maybe someone there can pose the question to Popovic why the hell he persists with such passing routes? Just want to slap the players doing it.

Balard has moved the most tonight.

Very different times. We'd just sacked Holger and Canada were woeful. They have a GG now.
 
Damn. Promising. We're alright in transition with a bit of space. Game opening up.
 
Toure's had two great opportunities, messed up both but I'm unsure if Duke would even be in those positions to have those opportunities
 
Toure has to find irankunda on that through ball. He telegraphed it
 
Cross field ball then intercepted. We had 2 flying up the wing. Why not look for the simple ball? Seems a bit too programed - always cross field!!!!

O'Neill is damn average.

Tidy player when he doesn't try to do too much or tries to do too much which is all the time. His Ecuador debut was excellent then he got a blank cheque and has become complacent.
