All Whites vs Oman | Fri 13th Nov | 3:00am
Is anyone on the forum actually watching this?
Hello..hello...anyone awake in kiwi land?
Anyone gor a steam...please. My usuals don't seem to be showing it. I guess country rated FIFA 148 vs country rated 98 is not going to be a big croud puller
Yes me and I was wrong about my prediction.
Formation is 4-3-3
Starting line up:
Marinovic
Boxall, Themi, Brotherton, Fenton
Rojas, McGlinchey, Thomas
Cameron, Wood, Lewis
Oman Public TV broadcast:

any links anyone?
What a goal !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks bud. Got on just as we scored
Wood played he offside line well and finished
Henry Cameron looks useful
Oman playing there fast game, giving us issues down the sides.
NZ game plan: Hoof to wood
A lot more direct approach it seems (long ball)
Brotherton looking suprisingly good, looks better o the ball than Themi almost
OMG how did Oman not score.
Our marking is consistent I see
Look at that, NO CDM IS COSTING US. look at the space
? Brain Spasm
Is it just me or does Fenton look 100% better at left back than at right back for the nixx?
Wow this longball thing is working.
? Brain Spasm
Sorry poor use of wording, But notice the way there is no CDM screeming the defence, the ball often goes straight trough and leaves space between the mid and defence which is very dangerous. Think a Reira/James player is needed to fill that gap
Right got ya. Agree completely
Oman controlling the game now
Payne must be watching this and thinking his starting spot is nearly assured given the apparent lack of a CDM we currently have
Survival time lol.
Defence is very very shaky.
Uh Oh
Damn he is in some pain.
If Rufer plays like he did last week for the nix he may well be exactly what we need
Did anyone see what actual happen to Cameron?. Was it his nee?.
Damn he is in some pain.
Dam you could here him screaming and shouting shark, who was that?

It was Cameron the poor kid.
Oman look pretty good, if anything they missed an easy one earlier on, and think they just need to slow it down abit, Great that AW are leading though, but our style is very boring, our defence looks like crap and I still hate the coach
Cheers Royz
No probs,
Oman pace does not let up, There very well drilled to play there style for 90min.
Nicely taken goal by Wood. Oman turned over the ball 25 metres out. Wood made a nice angled run behind the defense....someone?? threaded through a nice pass...Wood ran around the ball, picked his spot and hit it in across the keeper.
After that it was mostly one way traffic. Oman had 8 shots after 30 minutes to our one(Woods goal) We came back into the game a bit towards the end of the first half but they are by far the better team. Its only been our scrambling defense and some wayward shooting thats kept them out. We seriously miss having a CDM....they are just streaming through that zone and then going wide.
Our passing game is limited. We can pass OK in open space but as soon as we get into congested zones we turn over the ball. We have hardly got into their box since Wood scored.
On the plus side we are defending in numbers and seem to keep our shape quite well. Our organised attack is non existant.....ocassionally Rojas or Thomas??? make ground but as a collective there is little in the way of constructive buildup of play. The defenders are looking OK.
If we keep our shape we could nick a point out of this.
Horrible to see a player injured like poor Cameron.....he was screaming in a terrible way when the cart took him off. It looks very serious
that's looked like a knee recon for the lad. Unfortunate as he looks good
Agree that we are riding our luck. I go back to Hudsons statement (and someone mentions it above) "We will have a distinctive style and know how we play" Dude we play long ball and can't defend. We all know it cause we are watching it.
Lmao "Michelle Boxall"
I just don't get how you can't add Smeltz, Brockie, Boyd, Howiseon, Payne, Keat, Henderson, James, Riera (eligible now?) Smith, Reid, Tuiloma, Moss and feel like you don't have an instantly better side. I didn't have to think hard about those names either.
How are Musa or Old (just two names to make a point) worse than Brotherton? We have to be missing a detail here that he/NZF know but we don't.
The only positions we really struggle with are fullbacks cause we don't have any that are effective.

Agree with most of these but tbh I almost think Marinovic has earned tthe national no.1 jersey. Hes been solid in all our gmes in my opinion
Rojas getting a bit lippy there
