robbie kruse - still the most punchable face in australian football

we're playing super deep - parking the bus if you will. when og jumps the line, mills or bresc is dropping behind him. and kruse was just defending so deep in our half. i don't think we're exactly attacking japan like lolger said we would

Need to score though before we fall over ourselves.

russjaybee
04-06-2013, 09:51 PM
Holman is not an AM, he should be a box to box mid and Oar should be playing in behind like he does for his club.
Would never work though because Holman looks like a glory hunter, thinks hes a boss etc..

our centre backs are so farking slow. how many times have they gotten in behind us? og looks like he is standing still when defending, and neill is doing his best to chase the shit surrounding him (basically doing two peoples jobs).

pv4
04-06-2013, 09:59 PM
fair play to japan - they're not letting us play out with the ball at all.

our hope lays with oar getting a few fouls here & there, and potentially getting around his defender (and hopefully delivering better than he has been) or holman snatching possession in a high position

boz-monaut
04-06-2013, 10:01 PM
their hope lays in just doing what they're doing and we'll eventually **** up

the smart money is on Japan

endo reminds me of troy halpin. farking brilliant balls that nearly always catch the defence by surprise.

russjaybee
04-06-2013, 10:11 PM
That's what we want from Kruse though and it's not something we've seen for a while in our national team, forward player breaking the line and beating defenders for pace. Love it. Ruka would have scored it :(

pv4
04-06-2013, 10:14 PM
we defend with 8 men in our own box and still either endo, honda or kagawa wind up free and get passed to

russjaybee
04-06-2013, 10:15 PM
Love to be able to freeze the frame because I'm sure at times weve got like 6 pretty much in our box = free players lurking outside box. Sitting back is just asking for trouble.

04-06-2013, 10:30 PM
my summation of the first half in a player-by-player sum-up:

schwarzer - usual self
wilkshere - not so certain about. doesn't provide anything explosive going forward, but has put in some decent crosses (and lots of shit ones)
neill - impressed with him. working really hard, covering for og a lot
og - weak point. basically just standing still the entire game, and letting the japanese just round around him
mckay - looks lost. the left side of him and og will be our weakness and i won't be surprised if we eventually get broken down through them
milligan - not looking comfortable on the ball at all. bresc is doing a fair bit of his defending
bresc - trying hard, getting outplayed while defending. like i said above, too old for this shit. looks good when given that little freedom role to pop up for a volley or shot or something, but really needs someone to do his defensive running for him
kruse - starting to make some really nice runs. looks a bit hoffman-esque with the ball though - has all the pace in the world but is scared a bit
holman - i'm rating him. very confident on the ball and providing some nice passes. we need him to be defending less and attacking more as he's basically our second striker.
oar - started a bit off, but i think that was due to the instructions he had to deliver the ball early. looking good when pushing past his man. delivery needs a lot of work in crossing.
cahill - haven't really noticed him. the japs are double-defending him as they know he's such a threat, but even when he gets the ball it seems everyone is really far away from him and he's not getting much support. the only reason he's up there is lolger is expecting wilkshere or oar to whip in a cross for him to head in, but i'm not sure we're going to get the right delivery today.

my expectations: we'll shoot ourselves in the foot majorly

pv4
04-06-2013, 10:40 PM
oar looks threatening when taking it high and wide, but man we leave him isolated. his delivery is going to want to be absolutely pinpoint to get to cahill as the centre backs don't even bother leaving timmy as it's so broadcasted it's going to wind up at him in the air

boz-monaut
04-06-2013, 10:41 PM
this reminds me of Celtic v Barcelona

I don't think we're that arsey though

pv4
04-06-2013, 10:43 PM
yep, mckay is definately going to be the death of us. he looks so surprised every single time his man catches the better of him.

put a defender in that position ffs

our holding mids are dropping way too deep. it is then inviting their holding mids forward, and thus inviting them to play into us too much. our centre backs need to take some responsibility and stop our holders from dropping so far

pv4
04-06-2013, 11:01 PM
dario could be so good, or so bad for us. one of the most hot & cold players in the world. hopefully at the very least he tries to stay close to the ball at all times - provide some support when oar, kruse & cahill get it as they've had no help when on the ball so far
