Cracking goal for CZECHS
22 Jun 23:28 · edited 09 Sep 06:11
Couldn't stop that
22 Jun 23:28 · edited 09 Sep 06:11
Czechs are quality side with majority of possession and attempts on goal so far.
Czechs 1-0 NZ Julis with top goal.

  Improving,,on the up, a work in progress from Italiano and the Nix. Bring on the bathroom bling in '24! COYN!

What a stop
22 Jun 23:32 · edited 09 Sep 06:11
Have to say even at this early stage,Kiwis looking under the kosh. They are still trying to find rhythm.
Nice block from Tuialoma, and great one handed save from our Basalaj.

our keeper sounds good at this tourney - how big is he? If he dont have size he'll never get anywhere

Looks big for his age, bit hard to tell though...

Tall - could be a bit nore dominant coming out to collect crosses though... damn stream is pausing on me.

35% possession.  SH*T
22 Jun 23:38 · edited 09 Sep 06:11

sounds rather promising - i saw grainy highlights of the uzbek game and he looked very athletic, I couldnt really tell if he was tall though. Great news that he is, hopefully he keeps growing!

we dont need keepers - we need midfielders

Preferably ones with technical ability.

Three for me, and two for them.

kepper is 6'2
 
our left back is poor
 
left midfielder is doing nothing
22 Jun 23:42 · edited 09 Sep 06:11
Midfield looking a bit pedestrian and static right now leaving the Czechs to rampage with shots on goal.
Basalaj throws his hands up. Cmon guys!

boganUH your username and avatar are quality
 
you dont live on mangaroa hill rd by any chance do you?
 
It's next door to my olds, and they have a car with 'feenix' on the numberplate...! if not you is it anyone on here?
22 Jun 23:48 · edited 09 Sep 06:11

Basalaj is playing well

Edge and vale getting through some work
 
Payne hiding a bit for a good player
 
howieson.. expect better from him
22 Jun 23:48 · edited 09 Sep 06:11
So what do NZ have to do to get back into this match after half time...
 
First sub Howieson - has done very little and it leaving the LB with too much to do defensively. We need to have more outlests.
 
Push someone further forward to support Payne, he's getting nothing is getting marked out of the game by two CB's. A little extra support up fron might help create some space for him.
 
Hattrick boy Carmichael non existant and Vale poor in possession. Only mid doing anything is Edge.
22 Jun 23:49 · edited 09 Sep 06:11
Uh, lucky to go in at the break just the one goal down. If we don't step up, we'll find ourselves on the end of a beating.. Hopefully they can start playing soon! The midfield is getting a run around. Come on lads, better second half please

Of course he doesn't, he lives on Don Buck Road in Massey, West Auckland. His neighbours are Shane and Gaylene, and they have a pair of Rotweilers called Thor and Zeus, and a Pitbull called Tyson.
Nix, Leyton Orient and Alloa Athletic supporting schmuck.

22 Jun 23:51 · edited 09 Sep 06:11
Agree, think Edge has been working hard. Howieson offering little or no support to the left back, who is getting skinned a bit.
 
It was a great goal too.
22 Jun 23:51 · edited 09 Sep 06:11
If I was NZ coach I'd be saying something about think All Whites v Slovakia 2010 WC right now.
The backs need to tighten up, the midfield sort their sh*t and close down the attacks that are opening them up every time and how about some quality balls to attacking players?

22 Jun 23:51 · edited 09 Sep 06:11
At least we'll still be top if it stays like this. But agreed that we certainly need support for Payne
22 Jun 23:52 · edited 09 Sep 06:11

Our Left back having a torrid time and we are playing a bit to deep I think. Most of their shots are from range so we need to close them down early. 

22 Jun 23:53 · edited 09 Sep 06:11
Paulm, upper hutt born and imbread...
 
Touchme; left back is poor... howieson needs to pull finger..
 
payne needs to go find the ball... and carmichael needs to bomb on like the last game
22 Jun 23:56 · edited 09 Sep 06:11
Agreed. He did that once early on and we looked dangerous but it's been flat since then.
22 Jun 23:58 · edited 09 Sep 06:11
Raniga is hardly poor. Midfield needs to get more involved and Howieson needs to stop imitating the guys he sees on TV and not dawdle


22 Jun 23:58 · edited 09 Sep 06:11

On a positive note... the keepers goal kicks a reassuring...70yards on the fly aent bad

Coey Turipa was outstanding at the previous U17 World Cup. Pathway for young keepers in New Zealand isn't the greatest. Older goalkeepers are always going to dominate game time in the senior grades

Basalaj keeps most weeks in the Central league or in Capital 1.  He gets plenty of game time. Hard News2011-06-23 12:02:32

How's my driving? - Whine here

Just need to get their shape. Won't win anything in the air and generally our first touch is poor and slow.
