Now we're just flattering them.

Don't think Izzo has done his chances much good tonight.

If Ryan did all this.

-Why didn't he dive the right way?
-Why did he come out?
-Why did he just parry it to the ground?

Only the second one is suspect. The other two is just the keeper in the firing line and it's a tough job.
 
Can't expect Elder to pass forward if no one is bloody there. Rightly so the late goals dent what Popovic had hoped would be an easy enough press conference.

Popovic simply isn't good enough. He must go, but of course he won't.

We're really stuck in that the players clearly aren't responding to the system and the aging leadership group are too afraid to revolt as they won't be picked. It's a group think approach with a hope for the best.
 
I can remember in the 80s and 90s we used to attack full on from the kick off, through the likes of Patikas, Mitchell, Farina, Vidmar etc.
That was dismissed as naive.
So now we don't attack at all.
Perhaps we should return to the old way?

1st and 3rd I agree, I think he was set up by some poor defending on the 2nd one. I'm not convinced he is our 1st choice but none of the goals were his fault and I don't think anyone else we have would have done better.

Talk to the Coach about it
 
Irvine, Beach and Trewin the only players who have probably come out of this window with their reputations enhanced.

McGree was fine. O'Neill better tonight.

If our only two wide players are our fullbacks, they need to be better than who they are at the moment. Rowles and Miller, whilst fine tonight, aren't moving the needle. Elder I don't think is good enough. Really hope Bos is fit and firing next June. And that someone comes to sure up that RWB position.

We seriously need to unlock the front three and fullbacks much much more. Chasing the game, we are not going to do any damage.
 
A disappointing window overall. I don't think anyone stamped their passport and I'm none the wiser on who our best 11 (let alone the best 26) is right now.
 
This is as ugly as it gets for the national team

Couldnt keep possession more than 5 seconds

This is probably the worst socceroos team

Losing 3-0 is fine if you have a go at it. But this nothing to learn

The gap between Australia v Venezuara and Colombia is like Japan v myanmar
 
Need to see the grab on the shoulder. Another silly automatic reaction many defenders do. Popovic claiming we'd never get such a penalty. Popovic seems pissed in the interview. He's got to get working!

You have some very odd analogies.
 
Typical arrogance and rudeness from Popa in post-match interview with Del Monte. Honestly he's hopeless. Team isn't set up for success, exactly as the panel have said. Devlin must be filthy.
