Matildas friendlies in Western Australia

Surely Monty, though I notice the pundits were calling him 'pep'(?)

Good to see Gielnik get a goal and this Amy Sayer girl is value too. Big strong girls to dish out punishment.

The girl playing on the left wing, can't remember her name, has wheels. So quick.

McNamara. She was good.

It was good to see the midfield with some new faces. I thought EVE, Heatley and Chidiac were all poor. Sayer looked good though. We need to keep trying players out to hit on the right mix.

Chidiac was average and I'm a fan of hers.

Only saw the second half, but EVE played at her usual standard, i.e., not at the level required.

I was interested to see how Chidiac went too, she had good wraps a couple years ago (pre Gustavsson?), but she certainly didn't look good.

I like Chidiac a lot but that performance makes me wonder. It may just have been a bad game. But at home v Slovenia, that should be a competetive but favourable hit out. Her passing was really poor.

Her first touch was shit house too.

I thought she seemed a bit slow off the mark or to react.
 
DC who was the poor defender/s that kept giving their strikers the ball. That is hair pulling out stuff for the coach.

Both Hunt and Kennedy lost the ball in bad positions and the Matildas should have been punished but were not.

Neither should play in next match.

Bearing in mind that the Matildas are without Steph Catley for the entirety of the June/July window, our only options besides keeping Hunt and Kennedy would be to either play Ellie Carpenter as a centre back or bring Nash and Prior into the starting XI instead.
 


Starting XI for game two against Slovenia has been named. Six changes made to the squad including Mackenzie Arnold returning as keeper. Torpey, Grant, Cooney-Cross, Heyman and Siemsen also start, replacing Micah, van Egmond, Gielnik, McNamara, Chidiac and Rankin.
 
And we're underway in game two against Slovenia, Matildas playing attacking football right off the bat again.
