Vs Mexico 2nd Leg Wed 20th 7:00pm SS1

play the ball through the middle!

wow thats a last ditch block!

aimless crossing

Oh, well we better build a better team for 2018 World Cup

Our defence is not up to it. And no defensive mids of any value out there. Durante should just be a reserve player. Boy, how much do we depend on Winston Reid !!!!!

Can't be too harsh on debutantes like Roux and Tuiloma though. Good potential there....

But Mexico  -always bad luck in having to play the fourth best in CONCACAF   - especially Mexico...

definetly need faster defenders soon

top defending tommy!!! good to see it!!

yea!!!!

penalty to us!

peno!!! now fucking card him!!!

FUCKSAKE Brockie. Shite penalty

brockie hate you!

oool, on replay. thats a dive

why the fuck did brockie take it!?!?! not smeltz!!!

take brockie off, the most useless player i ever seen

YES YOU DODGY KRAUT REF   -  MORE OF THAT PLEASE IN OUR FAVOUR

(MAYBE NOT REALLY A PEN ACTUALLY -BUT WE'LL TAKE IT)

FFFAAAARRRRRKKKKK

BROCKIE - LAST MAN TO LET TAKE A PEN - HE'S NEVER GOING TO SCORE FOR NZ !!!

CRAP!!!!

BUT WHAT AN ALL-ACTION GAME, MAN !!!!!

I'm seriously gonna have a heart attack before this match is over

pass rojas!

stop wasting the crosses!

Brockie looks like he did years ago for Canterbury United when he plays for the AW's

He scored about one goal in his couple of seasons for Canterbury United. I remember a season for Canterbury where he was a joke in front of goal and failed to score any goals...... 

wish we had chris wood instead of brockie......

fark!

shambolic defending......needs massive improvement, forwards doing alright except bloody brockie

Why the Fuck did brock the cock take the peantly? shouldve been smeltz.

Yep Smeltz should have taken the penalty.  Massive load of bollocks

Just wanted to break his duck, selfishness cost the team.

the 2 debutants were ok,  and finally you have found a back 4 for the future  

roux  reid  smith and tuiloma 

future is bright, silver lining,  and the 1st goal you shouldnt retreat you just need to pressurre the coming man, as mexico does when rojas or barbarouses are attacking....that's lack of managing....and preparation as the great  roy keane says..."fail to prepare, prepare to fail"  simple as that

So 3-0, 8-1 over all.

pity that we are playing a mexico team on a mission to destroy, because we arent playing bad. We've been opened up by some beautiful and creative passing and play. But we have held our own more than the scoreline reads.

Storm has been great down the right, while Bill has had his moments on the left. Dura and Smith in the middle have been a bit slow to react. but they are still giving it the horns.

Wee mac and James have been solid in the middle of the park. James guilty of giving the ball away cheaply, but of all of our crosses his seem to be closest to the mark.

the front 4?! are running well and sometimes over running. I really like that Rojas is stepping up and trying to take charge of the attacks, however he could pass once or twice. Brockie should have put us on the board, but thats life.

Overall I am astounded about how we are playing, I've never seen us play this well under any coach(regardless of the result)

Neither of the last two Mexican goals were offside, but their speed and passing could make them look it. 

Brockie took the penalty since he 'earnt' it, think there could have been a bit more discussion about that one. 

We're pushing well forward but it means there's a lot of space between the midfield and the defence; remember, this is the first 4-4-2 for a long time and we don't have wing-backs to cover out wide. Unfortunately with their quality we're getting cut open when it's two on three, let alone three on three. 

Stilll, I'd rather see then push, get the numbers needed to maintain possession and make chances at home, rather than park the bus (pointless in of itself when we're starting four down).

Let's put a couple away in the second half, COYAW!!!

Half time: what can I say, Rojas should shoot or release ball quickly, need Fallon on the attack to hit the direct route now, score a goal please!

brockie pissed me off man, there's a reason smeltz is our penalty taker and there's a reason you''ve never scored a goal for us, so to upset the order like that was very poor form

Every top trend on twitter USA is the all whites game.

Yeppers im pissed off at brockie and you too herbert.

The two man midfield is far too open

Great game. Mexico are one classy act. Incredibly quick on the counter attacks.

Still, New Zealand are competing well but please stop those aimless crosses
