But Mick, the same applies to the Kiwis doesnt it?

the kiwis, on the whole, have been in camp together for weeks, they were at full strength and played a match only recently

they also didn't have to contend with jetlag like our boys

The kiwis wanted to win this bad as was stated in the press prior to game. For them it was bigger than a friendly. The same as it was for the fringe Aussies who outplayed them in the second.

Pim should have troted out a complete second 11 and played a 1st 11 v 2nd 11 behind closed doors for match fitness.

Comes back to the completly wrong choice of opposition for this match.

Holman was also set up the 1st goal... sort of. Would say he played well but there was that 20 M pass to no one/ no where.

The first goal was set up because Culina ran the ball twenty metres sideways, got tackled, and the ball deflected over to Vidosic.

To say Goalman had a hand in it is drawing a very, very, very long bow.

Im sorry but pim nockers can pack their bags and F((( off home, granted that first half was woeful *Milligan*, but that second half i havent seen since Guus left the fold, It was fantastic to watch the young'ns moving like that, but to be fair, on the whites for bringing the game on straight up should have been 1-1, and that alst goal probably means lolman is on the plane. . .
im finding it hard to pick my 23. . .
Did you watch the same game? Yeah I would find it hard to pick my final 23 as we only have about 14 good players. 4 of those didnt play tonight.

well yes , but in hind sight i was preparing for a smashing for that comment, i thought that second half was a massive improvement on... everything! though i obviously saw things very differently to the rest of the country, glad to hear SMac is gone, shame about carle. . .

Socceroos were dreadful.  The first 45 mins was like last Asian Cup campaign.

The most worrying thing was how bad Moore, Grella, Neil and even Cahill were.

Much better second half and Jedi really made a difference as did Beauchamp.

McDonald is useless.

Pim is stupid not to take Carle.

Moore was terrible.  Absolutely beyond abysmally awful.  No idea when he became _that_ shit, but it's not good to see.

why should pim take carle ?

I thought Neil was good, miles above.
Moore is a tad old and clubless, Meggsy fitted in well.

Mcdonald was also one of the best in the first half
that's saying something..

Culina ran sideways, played a neat 1-2 with Holman who was playing back to goal quite well in that instance, but dwelled to long on receiving it back and it was kicked off his foot.

I'm not a real Holman fac either, but to describe his goal as a 'tap-in' is somewhat unfair..... it was a nifty ball and a nicely taken finish, much as it pains me to say it

I would have taken Carle as apart from Kewell there is no quality in the final third. Carle gives you quality and a key to unlock tight defences.
I'd tip that if he had played 16 games as striker (not his normal possie) he would have scored several times.
I'm not saying that McDonald wont become a good international player but he's shite atm in the current team set up.

By quality i presume you mean 1 on 1 beating running at the man type.

Thought 2nd half we played quite well. Holmans goal was well taken as was vido's

Apparently Carle is dreadfully unfit. Pim conducted a beep test to assess the fitness of the players and sunbed failed miserably.
