AW vs Paraguay Oct 12 Match Thread

Siggy is simply not up to it and Vicelich can't play 2 games in such a short space of time

so close for Killen great skill

I wish Killen would bury one of those fluke snap shots

It seems like they need Nelsen to put a rocket up their ass - Leo is smiling ffs

Our best play of the game

Great finish. We're f**ked.

When we lack a bit of confidence we just fall to pieces - even Paston is falling down on an easy catch

Aaaand bring on the angst.

Brown and WeeMac need to up their game, Killen is all over the place in a good way, they haven't touched the ball in ten minutes. Lift it boys!

Can someone please tell Vicelich that NZ are the team in white. please!

Great save - was that Siggy playing onside ? >< Hearfield esque

Brockie has carried on from last week and Wood is still playing alright - little Mac has been invisible

Just hoof it Winny

Paraguay are pressuring us so wellvaleo2010-10-12 20:24:23

Looking a bit Confeds Cup-ish unfortunately. Games like this our lack of any real squad depth is very obvious.

I think if Tommy Smith was there it wouldn't be so bad - without 3 starting defenders we are always going to struggle

Starting to look like the Simpsons episode with Paraguay - and they call us boring..

I think that was Uruguay.

Wheres Weemac been in the last 45?

Take a draw just quietly.

Larissa Riquelme naked. Good times.

I know. But that is how they're playing. Spanish commentary and all..valeo2010-10-12 20:33:28

I'd like to see some stats on Brown. The guy is AWOL again.

Saw Tim make a few good tackles

the one where they all riot? mexico v portugal

Bring on the Ranga I say.

i am checking  this from  argentina  ...SIGMUND  WORST PLAYER ON THE PITCH 

Not a bad performance from the guys, but I think Paraguay are teaching us a bit of a lesson in football.

So we're moretop 50 than 20 right now...

I do think we are just being outclassed... siggie is helping them out tho

I'm going to get my allwhites shirt and scarf on, hoping for a chang of luck...

To be honest I quite like how they play without Lochhead. I know he is very fit and a natural left sided player but if you are going to play a middle 4 and a back 3, play a midfield 4 and a back 3, not a transplanted defender in that middle 4. I would struggle to find a place for Vicelich if Tommy Smith was playing or alternatively, it would be between Reid and Vicelich for the RB role purely because Vicelich doesn't strike me as laid back as Reid. Reid has that casualness that scares me.

As much as I don't like or rate Brockie, he isn't playing too badly.

I'll add to this that Siggy is a solid defender for A League, but not at international level against teams of this quality. It seems like the Welsh game was a one off.

Nice start by Leo - more of that

That was a horrible air swing haha

f**k Wood got in the way..

The way Paraguay play is really frustrating

f**k HUGE CHANCEvaleo2010-10-12 20:49:43

we have started this half wonderfully, more of this please

WOW.... Brockie is playing out of his skin. But gotta give credit to the keeper. excellent save.

Brockie has easily been our best player the last couple of games. Consider the fact that he's only recently come back from a broken leg + another recent injury...he's doing bloody well

Anyone got a stream?
