Tasty cross by Goodwin and good to see Yengi on the scoresheet.

 

[krakouers]

Hopefully that’s the start of many for Yengi

 

[Fabab]

1-0 yengi 2mins in.

 

[Fabab]

Slow,slow, slow, not much flair from us either.

Standard Arnie ball.

Gee the way these Lebanon players going do so bloody soft me to tears in frustration

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Hrustic just about maimed and not even a foul apparently

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Goodwin and Yengi been impressive. The rest not so much.

Out slow buildups allow oppositions to set up a block , do wonder why we seemingly have to play out every time . Think Arnold will be quietly happy to take the points and move on .

 

[Fabab]

This would bring a glass eye to tears.

 

[jhong]

Nice strike from Goodwin.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

That should have been a red as well. Real shame for Hrustic, the pass for the third goal is the exact stuff we’ve been missing. Hope it’s not serious.

Good to see Yazbek on. Goodwin has been sensational

 

[gaskin]

If we had VAR he could very well have been off. I reckon he could also have picked up a 2nd yellow for his reaction. The ref would have been well within his rights to book him again.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Dare I say it but this has been an impressive display, actually some quality in the final third and a few of the new guard contributing.

 

[Fabab]

Far better 2nd half,we have created a lot of chances.

 

[omgfridge]

Time wasting when you're down 5-0

 

[krakouers]

Top the group & build depth = meets expectations

 

[jhong]

Much better 2nd half . Goodwin with the goal of the match . Fingers crossed Hrustic is ok . I know he is in league 1 but I like the look of Yengi too . 5-0 pretty comprehensive.

Like shelling peas, next…

Two dead rubbers coming up next window in June, but still count as they are qualifiers - perfect chance to cap Volpato and Circati (and Robertson if he is fit) so they are tied to us. Domestic football done for the year so absolutely no excuse why it can’t be done.

Was always going to be a difficult group to qualify from tbh.

Circati has been capped.


Robertson isn't going to be an issue, strong ties to the Socceroos.


But Volpato I believe we should now select him and force the issue. FIFA rules stipulate a player cannot reject an international call up unless he comes to an agreement with his national's football association or has a medical reason not to participate. So far Football Australia have cooled their heels on this one without pushing the point.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Circati only played in the NZ friendly, which doesn’t tie you anymore - has to be a qualifier or tournament match.

Agree on Volpato, either he is in or not.

Goodwin's first goal was quality, peach of a hit.
