Thomas out, Joel Stevens in. WTF has Fenton done wrong?
Played RB for the Nix. We have depth at wide mid by AW standards right now.
I would argue that Fenton at his best is better than both Boyd and Payne. I can see why he wasn't picked with his injury though.
Maybe Fenton just wanted to stay with his club to solidify his place in the starting XI, and help them win promotion?
Boyd over Fenton any day personally.
Fenton plays with his head down too much imo... i think a lot of people can't get over his debut goal.
The convenience argument doesn't really stack up given Monty was sent over to replace Joel in the U20s, surely Fenton could have taken the flight instead of Monty?
was really excited about this game but am starting to get worried.... hope we dont get a beating

"There are rules about how much notice you have to give clubs to release players. This is just convient. nothing more. not sure why people are getting angsty about it."
should I take reid out of my fantasy line up for this weekends game ? I mean will he play for club 1st then go to uzi bekistan

Monty is at Ipwsich.

Monty is at Ipwsich.
Of course, so he's in because its easier to fly him to Doha than flying Louis from Wellington?
Seems so.

Economy vs Business...

To be honest both players over promise and under deliver ...
Er, how exactly do they "over promise"?
Maybe we just expect more from Boyd/Fenton then they are capable of? I think they are too young to draw any definitive conclusions on.
Winston Reid has been confirmed as All Whites captain by new coach Anthony Hudson

any news on the starting 11?
i'm wondering, given that we have 4 centre backs over there, and given that chile played with a back 3, if we might be lining up with 3 at the back

Over promising, no. Over hyped, possibly. Too completely different things though.
Fire up!
might go to bed soon . gotta get up at 2am
Time for some lineup speculation. I'm going with a 4-2-3-1: Moss; Doyle, Reid, Durante, Roux; Tuiloma, James; Kosta, McGlinchey, Brockie; Wood.
Couldn't do it in diagram form on my phone...
Moss
Roux Reid Dura Doyle
James Tuiloma McG
Boyd Wood Kosta
Finally game day, seems to have taken forever
Getting up at 2am will suck, but watching the all whites with the likes of Reid and Wood is well worth it.
45 minutes to game day.
Is there a stream for it?
Moss
Roux Reid Dura Doyle
James Tuiloma McG
Boyd Wood Kosta
This
I guess two players get chucked in the deep end. Can Tuiloma show that he potentially might be the answer to our DM problems?. Big call for a 19 yo to anchor the midfield against a good side like Uzbecks but you never will know unless you try him out. He has had a year and a bit at Marseille where they have been grooming him for that position......he will be fine IMO
Doyle's selction will complete a meteoric rise....A international before an A-League match. But he showed against the EPL sides that he can play at at a higher level.
Can't believe some people are suggesting Brockie start....on what basis? Wood will start up top. Brockie is way too slow for a wide midfielder at international level. IMO there is little basis for him to be in the squad.....however maybe this time because of injuries to Marco and Thomas. Zero goals in 40 + internationals.....LOL
just chucked a couple of quid on us to win this. After being battered by William Hill in the weekend with the GAA, NFL and cricket, I really need this (which made my bet even more stupid).
Moss
Roux Reid Dura Doyle
James Tuiloma McG
Boyd Wood Kosta
Starting line up is basically exactly this.
Boo. Fever ftw.

some names that roll off the tongue there........
I'm going to learn the subtleties of Uzbek watching a stream of the match and will get back to you all on pronounciations.
Their stadium has a racing stripe.
Hudson hasn't got rid of the long ball yet, anyway.
Durante is just hoofing the ball away. Not he only one guilty of it.
We have just given up the midfield, i don't envy our defenders.
