Women's Asian Cup match discussion thread

[Quicky]

Pretty much this. EVE adds nothing that someone 12 years younger can’t do. Gorry and Kennedy need to be rotation players competing for the no.6. Gorry definitely shouldn’t be a no.10 when we have Fowler and Sayer.

Sayer and Wheeler definitely.

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

That's a lot of rental contracts and internet service providers!

Matildas now collecting their runners-up medals, with every player on the 26-player list receiving one.

Could this ceremony music be any closer to the Yule Ball of the Triwizard tournament? Half expecting Viktor Krum to fly in on a dragon.

I want to play them again and win

This loss is all on Caitlin, Emily and especially Pepe.

The Young Matildas play Japan in just under three weeks from today at the Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok in their last group stage match of the under-20 Women's Asian Cup so we may well get the job done then.

Sam Kerr was in a knee brace ahead of the Matildas' last training session before the final but of course Montemurro insisted 'she'll be right' and had her play the entirety of the match.

The fans demand it.

Emily van Egmond will be gone by April and possibly Montemurro will be given his marching orders, but Caitlin Foord should be more clinical up front going into the next major tournament cycle.

Who’s your favourite to replace Montemurro?

Revenge

Just got home from my brother's. Missed the post match, but guessing it was more of the, "girls tried their hardest, can't fault the effort, just unlucky"

Drive home gave me lots to think.
1) time to switch out some of the old guard
2) need to build around youth, Mary, and Kyra
3) Foord and Kerr are too reliant on reputation, along with a few others.
4) I wonder if anyone at the FA is pulling strings to demand certain players play

If that is indeed the case at Football Australia then we as fans deserve to be given answers, especially given that the selection policy has robbed us of arguably our best shot at silverware.

Has the team been announced for this?

 

[Kitwally]

It was on her left tho

Noticed the majority of the Matildas are one-footed apart from Fowler. Professionals should be at least reasonably two-footed unless you have skills like Maradona……..

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Has the team been announced for this?

The team hasn't been announced for the under-20 Women's Asian Cup yet but we'd expect the 23-player final list to be similar to the 25-player squad named for a domestic training camp in February.

 

[Kitwally]

Her touch has vanished. Kerr has lost a metre of pace since her injury.

Yep. And she’s not fit. Still carrying too much weight. (It’s allowed to say that when talking about professional footballers).

 

[libelous]

Montemurro should ideally be bringing on Hayley Raso or even Holly McNamara to replace her in the left winger position.

McNamara (obviously your favourite player) is not a winger.

 

[JS96]

She's has 6 stints at Newcastle Jets alone!

Could you imagine the squad 'Hey everyone Emily's back'

Moe's Tavern regulars 'oh yeah, yeah....'

Alanna Kennedy adjudged the most valuable player for the Women's Asian Cup.

Lol what??

The player who scored tonight was the person she was meant to be marking! She cost us the game by giving her way too much space!

She gets moved from Centre Back and still finds a way to ship goals. MVP for Japan perhaps.
