Rufer is just a fraction to slow on the ball everytime. 
I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.

probably a good call bringing on the centre back given our full backs

it's a concern, with no wood, that we don't have an outlet where the ball can stick up front. 

this could be a difficult finish

What too much Chiefyball does to a man
05 Sep 11:26
I think we’ve reverted to Chiefy-ball. This will go well. 

I know, I know, its serious!

Ha. Didn’t even see this before my comment

An Irunkunda free kick near the box from a light tap. This feels very orchestrated.

Honestly nothing wrong with using a friendly to test you defensive combinations.
05 Sep 11:30
And Garbett too looking for a place! Geez. Would he do the mountain of defensive work McCowatt has done though?

Elliot caught out again, weak in the air

Absolutely. Fair call. But ….

Unsurprisingly a big drop off
05 Sep 11:32
Elliott at the far post. Facing the ball. No resistance offered to Irankunda who gets a free run and jump.

Once again, this is why Tim Payne's our number one. Nothing against Elliott as a footballer, but Payne can defend.

I wish we played with a back 5 all game, this is living!
05 Sep 11:34
We've pretty much completely nullified the home crowd which honestly makes me happy. Let's not do another eden park second game this time please. 
05 Sep 11:34
Tonight for sure, with our 3 big guns back though we will be a little more comfortable

Now is the test, when we’ve got a few weaknesses. 5-6 players down from best xi. 
exactly. We are bringing on a league players while they are about to bring on more championship players....

A great game. But Depth is still our weakness.

Three for me, and two for them.

Fudge... We really needed to score before all our useless players came on.

Rufer left him completely unmarked.

Looks like we will be one down at half time. 

I know, I know, its serious!

He’s not usually a 90 minute player. I wonder if Bazeley is challenging him, saying you gotta play 90 to be guaranteed a seat on the plane. 

But yep, a loose pass when we were getting control again.


05 Sep 11:37
This is sad, but shouldn't be surprising.  We know beyond our first 14 or so we just don't have the quality.  I'm reassured by the fact that in a truly competitive game we won't be pulling our top players at the 60min mark.

If only we switched to a back 5 earlier... hey what about a back 6
05 Sep 11:38
Aussie commentators wanking on like they haven't been second best all night.

To be fair to Harper he is the king at wanking on. And probably the patron saint to boot.


05 Sep 11:39
Oh well. If this was a proper competitive game I'd be gutted. But as it is, I've thoroughly enjoyed watching us dominate the aussie despite the scoreline. Lots to look forward to with the team we have and thankfully Bazeball hasn't been nearly as dire as many predicted. 
05 Sep 11:39
So, so, so disappointing. For f u c k sake.

I hate to say this but Rufer touches his hair too much

 He's so good with his club though, at a good level too. Kinda like how Brockie was so prolific at club level but never gelled for the national team.

94 minutes and chasing an equalizer and we play 4 passes backwards. Jesus...
