geez, can't even jump for a cross anymore! soft as...
Deserved a goal no matter how dodgy. I cant see this team qualifying. They are not good enough.
Terrible call by the ref but certainly cant say Syria dont deserve a goal. We look so poor when teams press against us. Comfortable in first half when Syria just stood and watched. Cant contol the ball as soon as they start chasing the game and close down the space. Like watching GVE football.
also doesn't know how to arc his runs into the box, he is shit...goal or not.Originally Posted by Imyourhero
i think last night categorically answered in the negative the question: can leckie play as a defender? as soon as risdon went off we started getting smashed down the right (where leckie was). syria were coming into it before then (probably because every time milligan saw the ball coming towards him he reflexively braced for the impending ankle crunch), but that change made all the difference.
syria did deserve a point.
leckie's two misses and then juric hitting the post twice in 2 seconds basically cost us the two points. we are just not clinical in front of goal. sam kerr would have got all 3.
So (even allowing for injury), that was Kruse' first goal for 2 years. As a forward why does he get the gig without question? How many goals total has he scored in those 2 years? How many games played? As noted above he can't keep onside, his first touch is very poor, he has not been able to deliver telling crosses, he pulls out of 50/50s and waves around and curses the world when he yet again stuffs up. He scored just through being in the right place at the right time from a position where even he couldn't miss.
He and Leckie are talented flat track bullies who certainly do not look world class or confident when they play at this level. They have had enough chances and should we get knocked out on Tuesday they need to be part of the cleanout.
We need winners out there on Tuesday - I'd sooner have Brosque and Timmy up front than those twits.
Can whinge all you like about Leckie
Bloke is playing and scoring and doing well in the Bundesliga
Based on his level of performance at club level he is in the side as other than Mooy there no one else doing it at his level
Add in the fact he scoring somewhat regularly in the last 12/18 months and Ange has backed him for 4 years then he in the side whilst Ange is there and probably for another 6 months after Ange goes until the next bloke realises he is a clown
Kruse on the other hand has barely ****ing played
No different really to Ange's love in with Brad Smith or the ****ing Gypo in goals
FFS Birraz and BK not even in the squad and they picking this clown
Remember when Schwarzer was keeper and he regularly saved our arses ??
Gypo has made what saves for us in his NT career??
Nothing
I want Leckie to take club form to international level - reminds me of Scott MacDonald.
We lack class - guys like Mooy, Timmy, Milligan, Sainsbury look confident.
Leckie, Kruse, Juric, Rogic et al look like deer in the headlights sometimes wondering where their club form is.
i honestly can't work out if you're serious or just looking for a bite re ryan.
Does Kruse suffer from Asthma or is he just an unfit khunt who should not be playing at this level ? Because he was sucking in the big ones within the first ten mins of the game.
I am serious about him
Forget his club situation
Performance wise as a Socceroo he turns in 6/10 performances all the time
To be given the no 1 gig when other blokes like Langerak Federici Jones Birraz Vukoshit etc are about and not even have to fight or perform to earn it
Don't forget the bloke barely played in La Liga and still kept getting picked ala Brad Smith
To me he is massively over rated
what you saying Ange has a big one!!!!
Ryan made 4-5 quality saves last night.
You can't say he didnt perform or keep us in the game.
I think Ryan has definetly been given gametime too easily for the Socceroos recently but credit wheres its due he was MOTM for me last night.
2nd half was trash.
I hate Kruse and Leckie.
We deserve nothing.
Syria were trash too.
Whole team are a bunch of Scott MacDonalds, great at club level shit when they put on the green and gold. Team need a colorectal surgeon on the coaching staff to rectify this problem of playing like busted assholes all too often.
Or maybe just maybe they are not really that good??
Like look where they playing 1-2 in the EPL 1 Bundesliga and none of them are starring in it with the big fish and the rest in 3rd world leagues
Yanks just thumped Panama to put them in the box seat for qualification
So assuming they get something in Trinidad and Tobago which they should they be going to Russia and the Aussies be looking at Panama/Honduras if they get by Syria this week
