ALL WHITES V BAHRAIN - Official 1st Leg T

I like what I see but wish super leo was more involved

I think bertos is doing pretty well at RB all things considering. Wouldnt expect to see him attacking much in this formation

Germany still one up in Russia.

not anymore

Danny Hay knows his stuff .. - next coach of Phoenix

2-1 in xtra time to brazil

McGlinchey needs to come on. He is a real supplier, Bertos just runs at people then passes which is normally good when he does it/Is not a RWB.

I'm a tad concerned to be honest. if NZ keep giving the ball away and lack any touch on the edge of their box they're only likely to pose any threat from the odd set piece.

Well, Iike to see the boys to back themselves in the box. We are really taking the advantage of the narrow pitch with the long throw ins and the three up front. The back three are covering well and are doing classy work closing their long runs.

There was a worry with the Bahrains creeping forward in possession and we are dropping back making a 5 across the back. Siggy and Berto was doubling up on the Right back area a couple of times. We need a few midfield in support for the three strikers as the Bahrains are back in the defence in numbers.

Sigmund shouldnt be anywhere near RB

great first half. Bahrain look average at best, really think we'll kill them at home. formation seems to be working but smeltz and bertos have been very quiet. bahrain keeper is absoulute sh*t-house, looks like his defenders don't really trust him.

Think bertos and Smeltz need to be getting more involved. Both playing rather out of position. Could see one of the 3 CBs coming off for Scott/ mully. Then mcglinchey for striker. And wood too. My predictions.

taking off Killen would be madness

Ferdinand. Pft

Its just that there is something missing from the midfield. Its like Elliot is on his own.

Green sent off

robert green sent off for england

*Tunes into ESPN just in time to see England keeper give away penalty,sent off*

We need that goal . . .
