Just like that 25min left and it feels like so much time wasted trotting around.

Played plenty of Championship. He was always putting in good shifts with lots of attacking runs and crosses over the years. This is compared to Behich backpasing and Smith not being a footballer.

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.

sure but these tactics against this side?

Tactics are regrettable but unsurprising against a highly rotated side. The lack of effort by O'Neill is frustrating. Too much complacency by the regular picks.

100%. Time to say qualifying job done and thanks Popa. Now for an coach who is up to this level.

We shouldn't reduce someone based off a half of football. There was one moment where an cross would've been the right thing.
 
Loose passes are inevitable in a match so that's why we need to increase out attempts and go again and again. Urgency!
 
Think this game would've put my insomniac neighbour to sleep.

Frustrating time is ticking away and we've wasted a lot of time tonight.

Slightly understandable in that players don't want to do anything stupid at this point of the season but it's also the only opportunity they'll get.

33% possession for fucks sake. Every single fucking game

Does Popa not think we can't have a crack at teams or what?

Can't wait for Decentric to spin some rubbish about how we were in control.

Looking back at Ange's deluded belief we were as good as anyone looks way better in retrospect when you have to put up with the muck we're being served up in the last 12 months.

Too funny !
I’ve been watching it’s so ho hum and he’ll report how bloody good x was etcetc
It’s woeful period !
They are way better on the ball and movement.
I’m sick of this BS talking us up !
Tbh I said earlier I was glad we are playing an opponent we hardly play - for its shows where we’re really at in ability period.

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.

I don't agree with the approach tonight but I'm not surprised in that the amount of football these guys play, they're just in first gear tonight. It's ironic because it's a golden opportunity to impress.

Popovic won't be asked the hard questions. It's called the Bolters squad for a reason. The start was hungry then they just became lazy. Shocking midfield tonight. Absolutely nothing.

Yeah we can play Estonia or cyprus and we still park the bus.

Just in skills level we are def NOT the top 100 in the world.

Every players just standing still not moving when toff the ball.

Not sure why the commenter loves the performance of our debutant defensive midfielder. His passing was pretty ordinary I thought.

Okon is a nepo and they've picked their narrative. He's been garbage. Hate the persistence with him at this stage of his career.
