As I mentioned before -that's what you get with "jobs for the boys" like the coaches (HC not even been in charge at NL level and AC v;Readings,Elliot - for real) with no idea/man management and/or tactical knowledge at international level- no surprise- DB will select the same players (Just,Tuiloma,Mac Cowatt etc) for the WC but not performance based- not his fault to being completely out of his depth - NZF will never learn even with the best budget and squad ever available and an easy WC route and draw- for example like Australia appointed GH for the WC to have success
NZF couldn't afford the wages of Guus Hiddink's brother let alone GH himself.
Your comments make little sense. Who actually deserves to get into the AWs ahead of Just & McCowatt. Name them.
This was a really disappointing poor performance. The worse by this AWs team in some time. The Socceroos game at Mt Smart last year (3-1 loss) was a pretty flat game, but this was even poorer.
Those matches aside this team has been producing some promising performances against top 50 sides, the last 2-3 years. Really need to see a response against Chile.
As per others, Bell starting will be a big help. And I'm hopeful Paulsen will offer more than Crocs, esp re trying to play out from the back.
But come the WC we need nearly all of Libby, Boxy, Singh, Garbs plus Wood fit and ready to go, otherwise it could be bleak watching.
