I don't know what people are expecting from Hudson regarding playing style, yes I would like to play a more modern game, but the reality is, we are not at the same level other teams are.
The Premier League is a good example, all the teams in that comp could comfortably beat the All Whites, yet a lot of the teams, especially in the lower half play quite direct, why, because on a technical level they can't compete that way, so look for a different often more direct route... despite still being technically better than us etc.
You want us to play Arsenal / Liverpool / Tott etc, but the reality is, we are the Burnley of the league.
Hit nail on the head. Be great to be say a country like Japan. But until we have a swag of players playing high level in Bundesliga and other top European leagues like they do - pipe dream stuff. Also they play regular hard high level games in the AFC, and just play more matches full stop to bed in a quality playing style. AWs will always have to make do with piecemeal friendlies overseas, and plus the OFC shark games.
People talk about guys like Barba, Rojas being part of some golden generation. Sure handy players by NZ standards, and should be riping it up against Island nations etc. Reality is they are no bodies on international stage, not close to good enough to making "bigger teams".
