All Whites V UAE Tuesday 10 Sept 6:15am

Very pleased to see Howieson start.

any link to watch it online, please !!!

Thats some premier league defending right there winnie.

UAE look terrible really.

"Shouts of our ball, our ball" - Andrew Dewhurst, who can now speak Arabic.

Sub Durante.

This game is quicker than the last. And we look much worse. Getting pulled apart at the back, and that should be our bread and butter.

You think youd learn after the last world cup....

No communication in the backline with defenders running into each other

dat brockie pace in the hack forward.

lack of team work, it shows in the back 4,  one striker up front is needed here to help wood,

Lochhead is being made to look silly by Carlos Valderama

Excellent delivery from Cam Howieson. He should start every game.

Where would you start him if you were picking our top line up Smithy

I'm not liking Bertos getting as far forward as he does when he is purely a RB. That's Brockies job and we don't need him to get up that high. It's dragging the shape of the back 4 out of kilter

Edit: actually when you look at him compared to Sigmund, I thought Sigmund had better positioning.

When in doubt, kick it out!

I just want to punch herbert. Could be lack of sleep or durante in MF

James has been a horse. 

Howieson is meant to be higher up the pitch than Dura but is doing a better job tracking back and sliding in front of the back 4

what when did UAE score

This is like watching teenagers play. Shambles.

Herberts prob thinking "oh i need butler in there"

just got on that livestream link and we're one-nil down, and getting torn apart

has the whole game been like this?

And people think we would have a chance playing Mexico !

ryan SOS?

Nothing reaching the strikers unless by air route

the n10 is like Valderrama good warm-up game,  NZ AGAINST THE WALL,  the heat, the are light, fast and good on the ball, similar to any of the CONCACAF  teams,  even the UAE players are a bit faster and not so well built comparing with some players from COCACAF..

Nz could  have played worst  they are all over the pitch, they pressure high,  there is one extra player in midfield and one less in attack for this UAE,  i would take  smith out  durante in "the cave" next to Reid,  a diamond midfield  of   brockie-james-howieson-barbas and wood and killen or bright up front

Sub blockhead and durante

The Herbert is excited at thr prospect of throwing a bit of Butler on. . 

Also Kosta has had less impact in this game compared to the other

We are shambolic. Ricki is deluded if he thinks we can take on Mexico when we can't even communicate or create a meaningful chance in a single half of football. Some of our play is just embarrassing. How much are they paying us?

Bertos too high, Lochhead getting embarrassed, Winston with comical defending and Durante all at sea. We look like we are ranked at  150. Again, Brockie invisible like the last game.

If it's either Durante or the 100 year old at DM I'll take Vicelich. It's just not working.
