Enough with the tedious crowd chat!
If you got out and supported great.
The Chinese expat population has done well with their support. I thought they were good value. I can’t understand why their defender didn’t get tight on Garbett the way they did on other incursions, particularly the incisive pass to Mata.
Nothing we hit from distance remotely troubled their defense or keeper.
It’s mental we have so many top creators, but not a goal scorer anywhere to get on the end. Hence why Mitch Duke is such a favourite of Arnold I guess.
Their goal was just laziness by our defense. There are more red shirts in the box than white ones. And in a line of them in front of Sail. Very nice cross and finish, but it shouldn’t have been snapped up by a defense.
McCowatt is a bit of a tough one to classify. He’s undoubtedly talented, but also it’s a bit confusing where he should play. In Wellington it seemed like he was almost best doing the job Lewis does playmaker wise, but traditionally he plays further forward.
I think the team has substantially underperformed, but it’s also great to have AW football.
Who are our next games? Get marketing them!
Cover the Garbett boys in a weekend magazine. Run a similar magazine on the Scandinavian lifestyles of our young heroes. Waine and Wood strike force in England. Slogging it out in the USA, riots and revolutions! Build the squad profile as an international one of young keen men, adventurers all around the world in exotic places flying the flag. Promote Cacace particularly! Friendlies are a harder sell, but don’t give up.
Also promote the opposition- who are their famous players, what are their dramatic stories. A good game is storytelling and if no one knows the characters and it doesn’t mean much to either side, then why should we watch it?
