At least Just has shown in the past he knows how to shoot, get him on (or Rojas), more likely to score than Kosta. My prediction at half time is Just off the bench with the winner 1-0.

Doing our normal pass around nice but can't score stuff

Really miss Singh
 
Just, Rojas and Lewis is a fairly creative lot on the bench. Kosta with the best goal scoring record in the team?
 Christ, Kosta only has about 4 goals. Hopefully we can get the younger lot to bang in some this year, outside of wood it's pretty grim

Tbh I think the problem is more creating chances, we don't even give the strikers we've got enough opportunities to shoot. We should've had at least double the shots we have had so far, we lack creativity.

But yeah, Kosta shouldn't be anywhere near the NT.

Legit though, are there any NZ fans in that crowd? That's quite concerning.

These games are our chance to pass forward and take some risks. We're not going to improve with the CBs passing it amongst themselves.

sail's kicking is terrible
nearly cost us a goal there
he gets credit for the save but no mention of his trash pass into the middle of the field on his side of half way

i'm encouraged to see a lack of tolerance for aimless passing in this thread

there was too much acceptance of this in the world cup qualifiers IMO. at this level you need to work to break teams down

Agree mate, just passing around the back before letting Payne hoof it in

Peak AW moments. Hoofball to 5'6" forwards, then a miscommunication at the back for a red loll!

For fudges sake, as per usuall a mix up with coms at the back. Happens all to often with Sail in goal. 

Crap from Smith but please for the love of God can we put someone else in for Sail.

I think Smith is more to blame there than Sail. Lots of balls have been holding up in the long grass so you can't expect it to run through to the keeper there.

Wouldn't be an All Whites game without zero goals (from us), a red card, and a dodgy defender/keeper moment.

Smiths lack of pace got him but yes another Sail fudgeup. Been far too many last 12 months.

It's clear Beazley doesn't want the gig full time based on choice of captain's alone.

I thought this started better than with Hay, in regards to our formation, field position, use of the wide centre backs as passing outlets, but this had become frikkin dire well before the sending off

This system is so hellbent on maintaining its shape that it plainly refuses to conced it in order to create attacking opportunities.

The odd time we move the ball quickly we look dangerous but it's so so rare.

That is the only plan. They same plan was used under Hay and Bazley has picked to continue it.
