I feel like at least a couple of their goals were two attackers and two backtracking CBs almost otherwise alone in our half. Doing that for 30 minutes, which is what it felt like is not a normal workload for a CB imo.
I didn’t think the CBs were terrible, though they weren’t great. But we didn’t have answers for the Aussie attack as a team. Especially when you consider the offside goal and the free kick that was mm off perfect.
If Irankunda keeps up this level of performance he’s going to be one of Aussie’s best of the modern era.
I think our attack would look better with Popovic coaching also. I think we have got attacking talent, but we’re not sure how to go about creating goals against good defenders - and I think Payne is important there, like he was at the Nix- and we are smaller and have fewer natural goal scorers like Smeltzy was.
