Positives:

Beach with some stops.

Herrington not fazed for his age and opponent calibre.

Yengi robust when involved and should stay on.

Irankunda and Volpato want to do something

Negatives
We're playing starters who don't want to get injured.

Trewin is fine defensively but so boring offensively.

Okon and O'Neill have been tame lazy garbage.

Behich not showing any of his experience.

I thought Behich got a bit of his mongrel back in the last 10 min. Actually went forward and buzzed about

No journalist will do it but Popovic needs to be told and asked what on earth the tactics are trying to achieve. Equally some players need to be asked why they go out there with zero interest creating anything.
 
I’m ok with the attacking 3 in the first half in general (Irankunda, yengi and Volpato). Defence got better through the half - but Cheeses Christ the midfield performance…

He's not amazing, but I love the way be goes about it. He's fearless against better opponents.

He plays like an Australian.

Passing it back would alleviate your fears. Near the end he started playing higher but someone of that experience should be moving a lot and getting in behind
 
Too many shit players.
Kunda is a legend. Don't know wat im watching when I see the rest of the team. Souttar gets a pass

Kai Trewin should ideally be playing as a defensive midfield anchor or libero as opposed to a playmaker who we rely on for chance creation.

He's not a creative player. All he's do is relay a ball from side to side. If we're going to have a midfielder who can't play the ball much but can win it then it has to be Devlin.

I mean… lots of Mexican migrants/diaspora. Wouldn’t say there’s much Swiss.

Oh yeah certainly (in America’s case, in Australia it was almost only home fans). Not surprised at all but it’s just a big change from having seen sold out crowds lol. I’m sure the boys are also noticing a change from the Mexico game.

Ange is over there. I just want our players to have a go. Today is minor in the grand scheme of things.

Someone like Circati won't exert himself but those ehjve been given a chance to impress have also been lazy.

This is exactly why Kai Trewin cannot act as a playmaker in our tactical system and should be utilised as a libero or defensive midfield anchor instead, with Cam Devlin taking on the playmaker role for us instead.
