Yes, there have been some extreme random posts - Wood not being up to it etc

But

Those who were not embarrassed by the defensive performance today and are telling people to shut up are either part of Baz’s drinking club or have no shame and need to understand it’s that acceptance of mediocrity which will lead to old Baz being reappointed.

It’s great listing all the other thrashing’s in the tournament but one of the teams even dumped their coach after one game!! They were embarrassed and had some shame!!

Have just learnt that Bazs contract doesn’t actually expire at the end of this tournament but rather at the end of this year so even in the best case scenario we have possibly six more games with his coaching master class.

I don’t think we want to be Tunisia. And sacking their coach didn’t improve the results

Should we dump Baze now and hope someone decent out there is okay with 3.5 years of friendlies and dull OFC qualifiers. 3.5 yrs is a long time in a coach’s career to play less than 6 competitive games

Or give a caretaker like say Simon Elliott 18 mths, and then try lock in that top international coach giving them 2 years and the WC itself. Might have a better sort of getting a top dog with the 2nd scenario

I actually emailed the NZ CEO, about NZF’s plan to try get into the CONCACAF Gold Cup and/or similar

He unexpectedly replied saying yes NZF were in talks with other Confeds re different tourney options. Pretty much what he also said to Steve and Seamus on their Between 2 Goals podcast. They are at least trying to find the AWs some badly needed tough competitive matches
