Two good chances missed-Hrustic and Irvine.However last 15 minutes a lot better with some excellent pressing.

I still don’t get the excitement around Hrustic, very frustrating player at National level.

He took 1 good free kick once.

He took 1 good free kick once.

So did Aloisi

We were under the pump because he kept on passing to the Saudis. He then pushes his free kick into the wall. Finally he started to keep the ball after a couple of long breaks.

TBH I prefer Irvine to him. They can both go next window with Max and Niz replacing them.

Plus Souttar missing the corner rebound where it was harder to miss the goals or At least players in front of goal. Horrible CB swipe

Hrustic off and Velupillay on.

Apparently it’s illegal to forget

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

God our attack is atrocious

 

[Stuartmcateer]

So did Aloisi

He's remembered for 1 goal.

He scored at the he world cup, he played in Italy, Spain and the EPL, he scored 27 goals for Australia - the double against Germany in the conferations cup was decent.

He just wasn't horrible. In the context of the golden generation he is the Socceroos equivalent of Stuart McGill.

I do enjoy gerias splitting long passes

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

This is like watching...well, ccm trying to score

 

[BrisRecky]

It’s not bad, we’re only half way to f**king Okonball

Half of them have gone straight to a Saudi but his defending and covering has been tops

Then I like that he has a crack at the harder option

IFAB need to learn that as soon as VAR can be used to do something about diving, the game will be greatly improved.

This pretending to be hurt shit is so bad they're taking the piss.

Always found it funny how when being an athlete at this level is pretty macho, yet players go out of their way to pretend they're weaker than a 90 year old grandma. I could never have that little self respect.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Oh for f**k's sake. 1 on 1 with the GK, or pass to the player marked by 2?

 

[sydmariner]

Lmfao

 

[true believer]

total shit show

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Completely absurd that an entire bench can mob the AR and absolutely nothing happens.

The managers who did that are supposed to be red carded.

I don't feel like we deserve a draw after how bad we were in attack.

Though there was at least 10min stoppage in that game, but we got given 5 - lost 2-3 of those to VAR, and nothing further?

unbelievable.
