It was horrible even by Popa’s standards.

Unsurprising? I personally find parking the bus in a friendly against a Venezuela C team absolutely shocking. And we’re still parking the bus when 1-0 down with 15 minutes to go! This entire game has absolutely baffled me. Tony Popovic is destroying this team.

His few touches this half have been terrible. Certainly no attacking runs to speak of. In fact no one’s running. Everyone just stands around and any pass inevitably goes backwards. I can’t believe what I’m watching tbh. Popovic needs to go asap.

What’s so good about Elder? He’s never been anything but mediocre. League One seems his natural level.

Terrible half. Questionable selection, painful tactics, extremely sluggish play. Only Toure has shown some signs of life early on. Barely watchable. Popovic just confuses me. The winning streak briefly soothed my worries, but his style of play is incredibly tedious and almost cowardly. He’s...

You come across as unnecessarily harsh and quite condescending. You consistently minimise Ange’s achievements and seem to bask in his failures. It’s just irritating. It does make you sound bitter.

It could’ve worked. It’s not like he was taking over a basket case club. Looking at that team, they have some very good players all over the field. I’m actually a bit surprised he struggled so badly. A period of adjustment would be normal, but this was just spectacularly bad. They suddenly...

I’ll be more than happy with a repeat performance on Tuesday. If any game was tailor made for Popa ball, this is the one. Get everyone behind the ball, keep the shape and let them keep possession. There’s no way we’ll lose by 5 like that. There’s still a measure of doubt though. 5-0 isn’t...

Ange’s squad was pretty terrible as well.

9-5 still wouldn’t do it. They’d be on GD 15-11, while we’d be 19-15. It’s impossible for them to overtake us with any 4 goal win. They must win by at least 5.

I REALLY LOVE AZIZ BEHICH!!!

I didn’t mind him a few years ago. He’s lost a step.

A draw would be a miracle. Then maybe Bahrain does us a favour. That seems to be the absolute best we can hope for.

There was the error we were waiting for. I’d say Borello should’ve shot, but I’m sure he would have missed just as badly as Behich did.

Maybe we’ll wake up if they score.
