AW vs Mexico Match Thread 2pm Thurs SS1

Oh dear we could see five, we need a Nelson!

We need you Nelsen

communication? we don't need no stinkin' communication!

We need someone who can mark - and someone who can match the pace they're bringing, both on attack and in hustling defense. We're forced into playing the ball back to them after 3 passes.

Nice "shot" there, Kosta.

WE JUST GOT OUR FIRST OFFTARGET!

MOSS I LOVE YOU

Men against boys and pensioners !

great save....

Kosta's shot was rubbish, but going through 2 guys was nice to watch. Also, MOSSSSSS

I am glad Mexico is without Chicharito...would be alot worse

...and we give it back to them needlessly for the 25th time.

Sounds like moss is doing well

This is embarrassing.

Aussies must be trembling on their boots.

Reid looks like hes gonna cry :(

LOL @ commentator about Barbarouses

All you people who are venting your negativity seem to have unrealistic expectations of what this game was for, and what the likely result was.

Turning off at halftime would prob be a good idea

Still well short of my very modest expectations D.

We're playing like absolute helmets.

time to take Fitzgerald off,put Boxall into the back and bring on wee mac.

start playing 442

Doloras - I don't think we expected to win. I just think we were expecting a little more fight. We know we're missing players, it just all feels easier than I think we hoped it would be for them.

What expectations ?

"O" for awful

that 3rd goal was a joke. ball split 4 guys jesus

Exactly, I don't think even the expectation to put up a good fight was unwarranted, given recent results. I really did not expect the team to be down 3 - 0 at half time and playing what may be the worst football in recent years. That said, they played like that against China in the first half, and came out firing for much of the 2nd...

easily our worst score line/performance since we got pumped by spain 5-0 in the Confeds cup.

Time for changes, I think

Disco - was thinking of Spain too 

Awful actually starts with an A.

I just came on halfway, this is embarrassing, the team structure is very loose and now we are three goals down. There are plenty to say for Ricki for the half time talk.

Not good, heck i would be happy with a 5-0 lose now.

this from tvnz accurate then?

Although we never expected to win this game would of been nice to at least get some shots... on target :S However, Reid, woods are playing well. And Smeltz also trying to create something even though no one else looked interested. We are looking VERY flat footed and our first touch is horrible. We also seem to be playing around with it trying to do fancy passes deep in our own half... goodness knows why. A few nice touches by Kosta but not linking it up Because the likes of Wood are always finding themselves back defending.

has smeltz touched the ball

5 of our best and strongest palyers aren't playing and our secondliners are playing out of position. With that, what do you expect? We give Mexico a good training match and play in front of 55,000 people. When we come back and play against the Pacific Island nations, we will thump each and every one of them. We are great against these Pacific nations.
