    Can clearly only score from less than 2.5m out from goal.

    Leckie is a bigger diva than Milligan

    Still not convinced by Leckie....even though Harps puts him on a pedestal every game.

    They were mostly all bad in the first half but shit Jedinak was awful. Then he came out and killed it in second half!

    An early six pointer - winner on Wednesday will be in a strong position early.

    Glad I made it under the circumstances and my trip was very circumstantial.
    I had credit with TigerAir and Sh!tStar from and abandoned trip by my German outlaws
    when a medical condition caused them not to travel to Cairns with my family in April.
    $750 in flight credits were about to evaporate mid October. Perth ended up being a no brainer to use them.
    Gee...lucky me! I took a mate from Cookers ZL1.

    I stood for the 1st half to the Shit Shed's left. (I had tix Row C in Bay135)
    They are unmitigated sh!t when it comes to chants...period!
    Nothing good support wise before the goals and not much to write
    home about after them either.
    Add to that the fact The West Australian saw fit to stick the match day article
    5 PAGES BACK FROM THE BACK PAGE after 4 1/2 pages of AFL n League/Union shite...
    Give em another qualifier? Sure...in about 20 years time!
    They might have caught up with football passion and interest the big towns of the
    Eastern Seaboard have by then. Well, at least to the level it was pre Nov, 2005.

    So what did everyone think of our formation and performance last Thursday?
    I have to say that I thought the diamond formation really put a roof on the strengths that Mooy, Rogic and Luongo can offer the team. I could see the benefits of congesting midfield if we played a team known for dominating midfield but Iraq is not that team. Back to our 4-3-3 to see how the midfield performs with the few blokes who are in form at the moment. Probably say right now I'd like to see Miligan as DM, and simply going off form Mooy and Rogic. Love my boy Luongo but just a form selection there. I think for now I'd keep Mooy as the consistent starter as I see Rogic & Luongo being those midfielders that would be great to be able to come off the bench to make a game changing impact.

    these guys beat Japan on their own turf, were semi finalists in the Asian Cup and have the huge home ground advantage of ridiculous heat, plus a full crowd of 42,000

    I reckon we'll be lucky to come away with a point tonight

    though if we do it'll put us in a very, very good position

    Fear Omar.

    I sliiiightly remember the last time we played in UAE. Was so boring from memory. All I can picture is Ibini stinking the place up and me fapping over Brillante playing.
    OK

    I don't even know you can call this a banana skin. If the Aussies aren't seriously woke to whats in store then they have failed in their prep.

    UAE are more than good enough to knock our lot off.

    Pretty frantic opening 10-15, slowed down after that. I think we are on top and playing really well. Milligan brilliant, Rogic looks dangerous. Kruse has lost all ability to deliver the ball into the box. But in my opinion we are the better team at half time and if anything, they looked more tired than we did before the break.

    Also Omar may be brilliant when it comes to passing but Jets fans would hate him, my god he is lazy when his team doesn't have the ball. I'm talking Carlos Hernandez lazy!

    Might be the battle of the subs 2nd half.
    At least we have 3 to make...
    I think our passing is a cut above theirs and I
    hope that's the difference tonight.
    Might pinch it with 0-1.

    Gee...I wonder if KSA will score a real goal this 3rd round.
    They're up next 6th Oct in Jeddah.

    Mcgowan is terrible on the ball. He is the weak link of this XI
