How does Dukey continue to get game time?

S Korea too good-their incredible pressure on our players resulted in many turnovers and loss of possession.

Ryan had a great game-some incredible saves.Also Rowles hardly put a foot wrong-he and Souttar are a great CB pairing.

 

[Stuartmcateer]

Strain if fit is by far and away the best RB option.

Fair to say the Jones experiment is a dud.

Fair to say the Miller experiment wasn't any better.

Strain is a lock on RB.

 

[booney]

Atkinson had a tremendous game at RB in attack and defence.I think he was starting to struggle fitness wise hence Miller coming on and the rest is history.

He will be fighting it out with strain across the world up games. I rate strain higher than Atkinson at the moment.

Those 2 are streets ahead of the rest at the moment.

Arnold another game nearer the exit door. Sooner or later FA will wake up to his shit football

I'd be fine with GA staying on as Director of football sort of role. He's done a great job there. But tactically he and his squad choices have been questionable and reliant purely on hard work.

Should have killed that game in the first 15mins.

Until the penalty our team had played the almost perfect tournament football.How many chances did S Korea create ?I think we had 4 good chances-Metcalfe,Duke x2 and Boyle leading up to Duke's first effort.So Arnie's "shit football" and his team created more chances then the highly credentialled Korean players.

Miller was sucked into that tackle by the crafty Son .Otherwise Son had been well contained by our defence, especially Souttar and Rowles.The Koreans had a mountain of possession and really did very little with it.Their goals came from set pieces( the unfortunate Miller is being hung,drawn and quartered on other forums and sites) while ours came from open play.

Who would you replace Arnie with as the coach?Maybe Popa or the Muskrat unless you had a smart foreign coach like the Frenchman who previously coached Saudi Arabia.

Patty kisnorbo is available... Nah too untested really.

That frenchie would have been a decent option.

I'd trust JJs crew to make a decent decision. Needs to be someone between where AP and GA stand tactically. Both are great man managers. I think AP improved players whereas GA just gets them to work harder.

 

[Melange]

Muskrat sounds like he's improved but just got a good job.

Popa is Arnie version 2 with a little bit more smarts.

I'd take a punt on Staj

Suspect it would be a particularly cold day in hell before Staj and FA get back together

Heather reed isn’t involved with FA anymore is she?.

 

[BrisRecky]

I may very well be suffering from Brisneyland induced heat stroke , but watching that game, all I could hear was Billy Birmingham calling the South Korean names
Suk Mi Thum
Won Long Sok
One Short Sok
Kis Mi Ass
Kik His But
etc etc

...yeah yeah, Im nuts

 

[BrisRecky]

Staj might work ,at least he wont have any grumpy people what kick start jumbo jets yelling at him about wags on tour

 

[VonBowellski]

So now that its down to the final 4, who is everyone going for? South Korea, Jordan, Iran, or Qatar. I hope SK go on to win it.

Iran. Just for Lol's

 

[pjennings]

Rumours going round that the Lebanon 'away' game will be in Canberra with speculation that details of the Canberra expansion team being announced.

If true it would seem that FA and the APL are actually cooperating.

 

[Allreet?]

I don't care what you say... there is no way Arzani can be left out of the next Socceroos selection.

His performance tonight was unbelievable. Two late assists to win the game but it should have been four or five assists if his team mates had half a clue.

It's a pity Victory go above us after being behind in injury time but this is the Socceroos thread...
