All Whites vs China | Sat 15 Nov | 12.30am | SS1

Are we there yet?

Perrin has signalled that he will be relying on veteran Gao Lin (striker) and prolific scorer Wu Lei (attack mid) to knock in the goals up front.

China are looking to get a result to improve their rankings to then give them a favourable draw for WC qualification matches in Asia.

And there is the obligatory reference to their failed tilt for the 1982 WC due to NZ....

Oh dear.

Hudson makes a gaffe and praises former coach Camacho (who was absolutely pants) instead of the new coach Perrin!

Also China looking to switch to a 4-4-2 formation (Gao Lin up front with Wu Lei tucked in behind as 2nd striker).

Earlier reports were angling towards the favoured 4-2-3-1:

Wang Dalei

Jiang Zhipeng, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Lin, Ren Hang

Liu Jianye, Zheng Zhi, 

Hao Junmin,Wu Lei, Sun Ke

Gao Lin

Central defence looks strong but vulnerable on the sides with injuries limiting selections to Jiang Zhipeng and Ren Hang who hasn't played much at full back.

Midfielders Zhang Chengdong, Yu Hanchao and Yu Hai are all under injury clouds but will be assessed close to kick off.

Weather: Cloudy, 18-13 ℃, breezey

With Andy Boyens back playing in NZ, what are his chances of being called up down the line.  He's not too old from what I can remember (29/30ish?).

would def prefer Eagar (correct spelling this time)

Where can one watch the game online?

Study for my final university exams or watch the new-look all-whites? 

The answer is much easier than it should. COYAW

I'll be watching it from the bedroom.

Bring a ladder then.

I'll wear my Nix  gimp suit...

Possible streams?

So I'm horribly out of touch with all of this, but who is Deklan Wynne and where has he come from?

This. First i've heard of him. Looks like we're a bit desperate at left back. (but what's new :D!)

Little disappointed Dan Keat isn't starting, but sure he'll get a run.

It really is quite crazy how young this team is. I'd suspect to see a lot of stray passes tonight and hopefully to see it click a little more against Thailand.

Cheers for the possible streams btw guys.

So McGlinchey will play deep with Rojas central.

McGlinchey deep is an interesting call considering we have Keat on the bench and he's a more attacking player. Maybe because he's probably the best short passer in the team ?

Barbarouses, Rojas, Thomas, and Wood. That attacking lineup has serious ability/potential.

anybody got a link for a good quality stream?

They will have to be lethal up front because our defence isn't crash hot. Perhaps we can score enough/maintain possession to keep pressure off the defense

Here's one if you have brushed up on your mandarin;

Can you translate?

"Shin She Land" (my pinyin is non existent) means New Zealand.
