Australian National Team Thread - #PopaOut!

Wow we look hungry right off the bat

Edit: Seriously when was the last time we started like this?!

We’re playing like animals, I love it so far

Aggressive start but really got to turn this into a goal soon

3 or 5 subs?

I hate these wankers already

Our shape looks really disjointed up front. Hrustic seems to be almost a false 9 but he’s not got the players around him to play balls into the box.

Crowd looks pretty light… is it 50% or 75% capacity?

Does Harper have a contract with 10/Paramount for the A-League?

Yep he’s signed up

It’s absolutely PISSING down - don’t blame people for giving it a skip…

Also, lol at foul throw for lifting the back foot!

Well. The mute button is going to get a workout.

There doesn’t seem to be much of a coherent plan. Very scatter-gun.

Feel like we are missing a number 9.

Rhyan Grant is looking poor out there. He looks to have lost a yard of pace as well.
Not sure he and Boyle work well together either. When Boyle has the ball Grant runs into the space ahead of him wanting the ball. Boyle wants to take his man on and run into that space though. They just end up getting in each others way.

“Tensile strength” ah Andy how we missed you

I like how this ref is letting us hack them down.

Should have kicked off a 7.

Yeah this weather is not helping us

I think we should switch Boyle and Hrustic. Let Hrustic play as a wide playmaker and drift inside (something Arnie likes anyway), freeing up Grant to overlap, and then have Boyle as the pacey second striker with Leckie.
