First V Second, Jordan always tricky to play against especially at home i'll be happy with a draw.

Can Rogic shoot? Seriously could have had 4-5 shots in nice positions just outside the box. Boring as batshit game otherwise...

 

[Carbine Chaos]

We were all over them first half. It’s like we packed up and went home during the break.

 

[ioppolo]

Take the three points and run

 

[darko]

That's a pretty big win.

I think we're going to struggle to qualify again this time around. Japan, South Korea, Iran with Saudia Arabia, and Qatar catching us quickly will see us...

We still lack a goal scorer and players who were the next generation have really failed to develop, Rogic hasn't improved in years for example.

 

[hey shorty]

Good win although 2nd half was a bit uninspiring.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Huge win never won there before so don't care how we did it!

 

[FreoRicci]

Huge win. Normally we struggle to score and often these Arab teams get a cheeky late goal to snatch the win or draw.
Lots of improvement to be made.
But gee Sainsbury is lacking significant pace. Really stuffed up his development not going to the right clubs at the right time in his career. China then PSV. Dumb

 

[gaskin]

That game was a steaming pile of s**t. The pitch was absolutely terrible which didn't help matters.

Rogic looked fantastic, though.
