Women's Asian Cup match discussion thread

Only 4 minutes. A miracle in the modern game.

Let's make those four minutes count and find an equaliser to force extra time.

 

[Quicky]

This ref is crooked.

 

[erogenouszone]

Dang. 0-1.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Full time in the Women's Asian Cup final. History repeats itself once more and the Matildas lose yet another final 1-0 to Japan, who cement their place as number one in Asia.

We've said it many times, the old guard needs clearing. Instead, we showed loyalty to them, and it cost us again. Again too, at home.

Joe needs to change things big time.

 

[erogenouszone]

Time for a cleanout of the old stagers.

 

[JS96]

Great technique EvE ...

She needs more caps to improve.

Matildas played their hearts out but just lacked quality in the final third.The Japanese defence was incredible .

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

She needs more caps to improve.

Maybe Emily van Egmond will have finally reached her potential with cap number 200 when that occasion inevitably comes around.

 

[JS96]

Massive effort. Went better than expected. World cup not far off so the old guard will linger. Coach has to start making changes.

 

[JS96]

The Japan manager has a great demeanour.

There's no point in Kyra Cooney-Cross going for screamers from long range if she can't find the back of the net.

She’s done it before, if you don’t try you don’t know.

I thought the XI was spot on. The subs were late and a bit off. I think we need another technician in midfield. But it's time to get experience into our depth.

 

[JS96]

So which of the old guard need to go completely and which need to be benched from time to time?

No one should have starting 11 immunity.

Emily van Egmond will be gone by April and possibly Sam Kerr will be benched in favour of Holly McNamara.

 

[melbcityguy]

Yeah can't be to mad at that. Thought a few things could have been improved the crossing really only gave us one chance Japan were to good and respect them for not time wasting

 

[verrelli]

Are there any more clubs left for EvE to play for?

EvE can go. Gorry, Kennedy shouldn't always start. We need to try our next mids.

Kerr did nothing in this game.

Her Dad coaches at the Wanderers, time for them to unite again.
