Socceroos World Cup Qualifiers Socceroos V Japan / Saudi Arabia

[Bradesmaen]

I'm all good mate, my hats are made of fabric rather than aluminium

I'm far from a conspiracy theorist. Haven't you read the F1 forum where I'm telling all the oscar conspiracy people that their idiots? However the Saudis are not exactly known for following "rules"

Can never get enough of this goal. Now with the added benefit of watching it from every angle.

Didn't get it on video but I was behind the goals so my view was the best.

Aren't you good.

Same. I had a pretty good view of it curling in.

We just parked the bus at home against a weakened Japan side, imagine what Poppa ball will be like next Wednesday protecting 4 goals? Could play a 8-1-1 formation.

Spot on about we aren’t in this position with Arnie, and that was actually one of our worst performances since he took over.
The question is how do we improve to actually impact at the World Cup? With the 48 teams (and we are surely due a bit of luck in the draw) we should be aiming to at least get out of the group.

I would go 5-4-1.

5 defenders. So 3 centre backs, 1 left back and one right back.

4 mids. 2 central defensive mids. One left winger and one right winger.

1 striker up front.

Park the bloody bus. Go full defensive.

Use Jose Mourinho tactics . Use Sam Allardyce tactics. Use Tony Pulis tactics he did at Stoke City.

Go full defensive and long ball the bloody thing

No. Long ball shit will give possession straight back. 2 holding mids no good either. Play one holding one attacking.

Can we just send the players for a holiday somewhere in the ME, forfeit and claim a 3-0 loss?

That would see us qualify.

Weird feeling we'll fall two goals down in the first half hour but not concede another goal for the rest of the game.

It will be one game that they wont waste time unless they are 5 goals up

Aussies should waste time for the years of play acting from such teams

Legit we should just forfeit and take the 3-0 default loss imo.

And get arrested and chopped up

The one thing you absolutely don't want to do is give the ref an excuse to pull a card / pay a penalty

Looks like we have a panel of Qatari officials for the game

Qataris are supposed to hate Saudis.

 

[Billy ray]

Imagine we win 5-0

Nah go full Ross Lyon defensive tactics the whole game
