All Whites vs Peru | First leg | Sat 11 Nov | 4:15pm | RoF

vs Ingham's?

I'd like to see:

----------------------------- [Wood] -----------------------------

--- [Thomas] ----------------------------------------- [Rojas] ---

------ [McGlinchey] ------ [Tzimopoulos] ------ [Tuiloma] -----

- [Doyle] ------- [Smith] ------------- [Reid] --------- [Boxall] -

--------------------------- [Marinovic] ---------------------------

Edit - for completeness, I'd like to see a bench of:

GK: 12 Gleeson; 20 Moss

CB: 21 Musa; 22 Durante

WB: 3 Wynne; 18 Roux

CM: 15 Lewis; 23 Ridenton (Musa and Thomas also provide cover here)

FW: 7 Barbarouses; 10 Boyd; 16 Brockie; 17 Bevan

Chaplain: Fallon

Of those, Gleeson, Ridenton and Boyd are almost certain not to happen. Crocombe, Brotherton, Ingham, Colvey, Dyer, Rufer, Patterson and Smeltz would be among the incumbents/Hudson favourites to miss out.

Mike White of Humberside Radio Sports writing on latest Scodhorpe twitter says "Clayton Lewis will be called up for NZ World Cup squad."

For those planning on attending the Phoenix match on Sunday 12, note the kick-off time has been rescheduled to 4.30 pm:

More time to recover from hangovers incurred on Saturday night...

Storm Roux would seem to be an injury doubt after being subbed after 45 mins with an ankle injury for Central Coast last weekend.

Previous to that, he was having a really good game with most of the Mariners' attacks were coming through him down the right.

Anyone have any idea how this money will be split?

Paolo Guerrero once again missed his club game today due to injury...either he is being cautious or he wont make the Wellington Game

His replacement would either be Raul Ruidiaz of Morelia (Mexico) or Jefferson Farfan Lokomotiv (Russia)

Farfan appears to slowly getting his groove back in Russia...two goals and assist in his last club game vs Zenit

Ruidiaz is scoring for regularly in Mexico

Regardless of who plays neither can hold up the ball like Guerrero so it will require a slight change in attacking tactics

Definitely won't be there unless injuries to Marinovic, Moss, Woud, Williams, Sail, Smith, Van Hattum, Wilson occur in the next 10 days

Themi could also be an injury doubt. Subbed off unusually early on the weekend for his club.

Roux took a knock to a metal plate in his ankle/leg, I believe his coach said, so it's not an injury as such. Coach didn't seem too worried after and even said 'he's off to NZ so will miss our next couple of games' or similar.

Thomas has the third best stats for a deep lying CM in the entire Eredivisie where his role is to recover and recycle the ball, I wouldn't waste him out wide. If playing four at the back (won't happen), then I'd swap him for Tuiloma and move Kosta to the left wing. Other that that the team and subs are good.

 

You forgot Paston, Utting, Gosling and Batty.

Split? seems it goes back into the team and means the players wont have to front up there own money to get things like business class flights and  decent training for the next few years.

"The All Whites players are set to receive a $1 million boost from next week's match against Peru."

NZPFA chairman Harry Ngata said the deal was about ensuring the All Whites, as well as the Football Ferns and other international teams, had enough support for the next World Cup cycle.

"It was part of our relationship with New Zealand Football and understanding that getting players to games and back to their clubs in tip-top condition proved to be a challenge in previous years," Ngata, who played 28 times for the All Whites between 1993 and 2001, said.

"In my time absolutely [it was a challenge], but fast-forward 10 or 12 years and we're becoming a lot more flexible in terms of how we make things work.

"While it would technically take money away from New Zealand Football, Ngata said the money would still be spent on the organisation's teams.

"It'll be a fund that will be assigned to help resource the next World Cup cycle potentially.

"Is it going to sit in our coffers or NZF's coffers? At this stage, I think that's irrelevant. It's an agreement we have between both of us that there is going to be the resource made available to ensure our teams are best prepared."

This seems to be the elite players saying we don't trust NZF to spend the money properly

There is a hint of that, isn't there?

I suppose you could interpret that as saying that the players are prepared to put some of "their" money towards future campaigns so that even if NZF is in a poor financial position their preparation will not be affected.  

Got a drum, people know if I can bring it into Westpac?

Get in touch with Shane at the stadium, he's the one who sorted our drum access.

Will do

Drum eh? I might bring this. Shane'll never even know.

Holy shark. I was looking for one of these back in May for a musical I was playing in the band for. 

Where did you get this from? The only ones I could find online were going to cost me $200.

You could help the VAR

Does it say Hudson on it at the bottom there???

#itsasign

AIR NEW ZEALAND - WTF - Peru has a charter to Lima straight after the game - do us proud and do the same. I will put in $10 petrol money - an extra $10 on our tickets to the game would have got this across the line!!!!

Peru refused to share, meanies

why is this on Air NZ? Air NZ are a commercial airline... If NZF could pay the required amount, Air NZ would run a charter for them...

havent the government bailed them out before?

Deleted. Work drinks hitting me harder than they should've

I think the nz government has done quite well with their shareholding of air nz

Try Qantas

a Hudson whistle to boot

For those in Aus

They did (Air NZ), but they are not rich enough to bail out NZF on this occasion.

reports out of South America that Paolo Guerrero failed the antidoping vs Argentina and will be suspended for a while

so no Guerrero vs NZ

Jefferson Farfan will most likely lead the line

nothing has been confirmed yet....the player in question could also be Edison Flores

Looks like it is Guerrero

Could have an out if it was an accident, treating flu or something.

Looks like he is claiming he took some medication for flu: http://www.cdf.cl/cdf/internacional/guerrero-argumenta-que-tomo-un-medicamento-para-la-gripe/2017-11-03/150154.html

technically its not positive yet

at least nothing official out of the Peruvian Federation or FIFA, just rumors out of peruvian press

seems to me Gareca will have to make a call with either Farfan or Ruidiaz

If Paolo did take something for the flu then I believe the correct procedure was to report the medication to FIFA/WADA

similar to what Daniel Carter did when he had "anomalies" in a surprise drug test in France
