Mooy had a very rare shocker, gave the ball away more tonight than he probably has collectively for the last 12 months!

I'm not saying that pitch is an excuse but fmd..I saw Jackson Irvine's knee
disappear into the turf after that free he gave away when he came crashing to earth.
Nothing they tried seemed to come off. They didn't play the field like Thailand did.
And did I mention how sh!t Mooy was tonight? Total passenger. Rogic disappeared
2nd half too. Field didn't suit his style of play. Both he and Mooy coughed up
way too much ball in the midfield.
Lots of soul searching for Ange with his player selections and for most of those players
before March comes around.
Gee...I wonder where that Saudi game will be played? The Melbourne and Sydney cards have been frittered
away now. Looming as the biggie at home. I consider Japan away already a loss....
Also, how can those pricks from the AFC tell us that Enema Australia Stadium at the time
wasn't good enough for a Confederation finals series but allow guff like that pitch for a qualifier?
Half way through and we are 1 point off the lead. We have 3 home games left. We have Japan away as well as Iraq at a neutral venue.
We should really still finish in the top two, tonight just would have (and should have) made it a much less nervous wait!
Jedinak and Rogic and Leckie are trash.
Mooy and Kruse had a dig but were also trash.
Don't care about the others.
I miss luongo
Auspicious day to post this:

At least the 2nd leg would be at home!
:brrr:
Edgeworth would have done a better job than those khunts.
And Tommy does it again...:whistling:

Thoughts??
Probably a few hard done by - Brad Jones the hardest done by in my opinion.
Wilkinson leading the defence for the best team, currently, in the league is probably hard done by and Brillante probably a better option then McGree. In saying that, neither would expect to be in the final 23, so maybe exposing the youngster isn't a bad idea.
Grant benefiting from a lack of options at right back.
A few new faces which isn't the worst thing ever to see.
A distinct lack of right backs in there. Grant, Milligan, makeshift right backs?
Surely there is an underlying reason that Jones isn't in there.. there has to be. But tbf to Vukovic he has been outstanding this year (granted, behind a terrific back 6 of SFC).
I'm devastated that Spira is injured.
Got that awful feeling we will not go to Russia (in 2018)....
11pm has to be one of the shittest times for a football match.
