Sub standard squad (TS, Zadshite, Archie, Rustyatitsoff etc etc), Sub standard coaching, sub standard outcome.
Worth it for me simply to see Matt Simon get on the pitch.
Spiranovic, Frederici, Monkey boy were outstanding.

I don't think it was lackluster, they just didn't have a finisher. Any actual forward playing infront of the Aussies last night would have scored. And probably more than once! Makes GA's decision to leave Dijite out look even worse.
I think it was a promising performance. The future looks good if we can get rid of Arnold.
Spiranovic was an absolute legend he looks very solid at the back for a 19 yr old. No Vidosic, Dijite or Burns and a few others, would be a different squad with a better coach.

Spiranovic was good in parts, but I wouldn't say outstanding, wasn't it him who tried to put his foot ON the ball and missed it, only to see the ball sail through to the box? Embarrassing at that level I reckon.Greenpoleffc said:
The Crawford report, the A-League, Guus, Uruguay, the WC06, the general honeymoon period will forever be known as "It's football, not soccer".
The period after the honeymoon, the let-down, the Asian Cup, the Olympics, will forever be embodied by one catchcry..."ARNOLD OUT". Those words are immortal.
I generally agree with greenpole. Spiro was fantastic, he completely outshone North and the error that Jeff mentioned was the only one I can think of in three matches (plus he recovered to make the block). Monkeylik was better than Milligan who looks like his mind is elsewhere. Capable passing, decent positional play and excessive hacking won't be enough to secure MM his big European move...I reckon he'll land at a smaller club than Djite and Burns have.
A-Fed was solid but I wouldn't say outstanding, he didn't actually have that many saves to make.
Carney was the pick of the overagers but was wasted at left back at that level.
All in all, we lacked someone in the final third willing to run at defenders or get beyond the defence. The conditions stifled our movement but so did the conservative attitude of the coach and team, as well as selections - how much better would it have been to have a Zullo on the bench to come on and ignite something, let alone Burns and Djite, rather than have Leijer sitting there wasting space.

I think our game against Argentina was much better to be honest. This game had way too many errors in it and it should have been our win. Now, whether the pitch was a direct result of that I dunno (good chance it was), they did look a bit tentative on their feet with the ground moving underneath them or ripping up in clumps. I agree we lacked penetration and or execution up the front, but again silly errors were evident all over the pitch. Most times we would go to and attack the ball, while at the vital times we stood off it and waited

We never created enough chances to win the game.
Carney should have scored!!!
What was Nikita playing wide left for and Bridge playing in behind the non existant striker.
Then he replaces Nikita with Matt Simon when we need goals.
Arnold got his tactics wrong again!
When will he learn.
