Socceroos 2018 WCQ THREAD-v HONDURAS FOR SPOT IN RUSSIA (Dates TBC)

[Rough_Edges]

They're a lot more dangerous on the counter than I'd hoped.

Nice defensive running by Rogic.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Tommy Oar plz

Y u do dis

Y ur touch so s**t

 

[dispute]

Elrich looking average. Rogic looking good, can see him scoring first.

 

[Sprout]

Still a bit lacklustre in the final third, but Rogic looks the goods.

Leckie and Oar making the keeper move an inch either side will help.

 

[Rough_Edges]

We are clearly on top in general play but struggling a bit to really create a heap of chances.

Jordan look very dangerous on the counter.

Think we should run a striker through the middle, get Leckie wide and Oar off at half time.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Jordan back line sitting particularly deep which is taking away Leckies main weapon.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Excuse me Elrich plz stop getting caught in possession

Ta

 

[Rough_Edges]

Sensational ball Oar.

Leckie should be scoring.

 

[Sprout]

Clearly more vulnerable when their defence is stretched. Need to move it quicker.

Oar is a frustrating player to watch. Simple errors mixed with the odd flash of real quality.


Holy s**t, Jordanian pinball.

 

[Rough_Edges]

How did we keep that out?

Davidson got made look silly then lol

 

[hey shorty]

Hmmmmm I know we are going to beat everyone easily but that was a tad average. Sometimes the pretty stuff needs to be put away.

Oar very averagw bar 1 or 2 balls, drag him.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Half time thoughts;

Elrich really struggling. Our right back stocks are really thin.

The fact they are sitting so deep is making it really difficult to create chances. While Davidson and Elrich bomb up the flanks to try and get some overlap, Jordan are staying quite structured.

They aren't committing many forward on the counter which is why even when we are winning it back we're struggling to find space.

Think Cahill on and through the middle and get Leckie wide so we can create some natural width.

Mooy really impresses me. Started giving it a way a bit late in the half, however he was just bossing midfield for a twenty or so minute period.

Leckie really should've scored but in reality lucky that ball hit Federici.

Oar started to find his feet a bit later in the half.

Luongo largely inefficient out wide.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Well that sucks

 

[Rough_Edges]

Spira should've been sent off IMO.

He's not up to it at this level

 

[Rough_Edges]

Mooy putting on his best Jonjo Shelvey impersonation.

Just giving the ball away every time he picks it up.

 

[BlueBen]

How long until Tim comes on and the long balls start?

 

[Rough_Edges]

How long until Tim comes on and the long balls start?

Now.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Any danger of some quality, Mooy? Jesus

 

[dispute]

Is there a sniper in stands picking off the Jordanian players. They are going down all over the place

 

[Rough_Edges]

Time wasting of Jordan is really poor.

As was that AWFUL ball by Leckie

 

[BlueBen]

Leckie

 

[dispute]

Any danger of some quality, Mooy? Jesus

That pass was quality. Leckie muffed it

 

[Rough_Edges]

Absolutely stonewall foul on Davidson. * me

 

[Skarrz]

What a joke that they aren't carded for time wasting then that foul on Davidson.. Wtf

 

[hey shorty]

Welcome to corruption.
