someone should falcon him while he's not watching. that would be awesome/hilarious.

plus going by today I actually wouldn't mind seeing mulligan on the bench for this one. he looked better than a few today.

so is Greenie playing with Johnny up front on Sunday? (is Daniel injured or is he ok?)
 
If so will this put to rest for good or for bad all those bleating on about 442 and Greenie with someone other than Ifill? (not looking at anyone in particular)

I reckon daniel will probably make the bench but wouldn't be suprised if johnny is beside greenie on sunday.

and Ifill to take Daniels spot on the left. think apart from that it will be the same line up just rearranged.

daniel looked ok, didn't seem to be struggling.

never realised how well mulligan could shoot.

Ifill not having to concentrate on supporting Greenacre as much could have terrific outcomes, more of a free-role like Bertos.

Dont know what the problem was with Mulli to be honest. I still believe hes a quality player just was horrible at right back for the nix. I would be keen to see him at centre midfield. I reckon he could be the creative spark we need and he would add quality to free kicks. But i wouldnt want to see him back at right back thats for sure.

get over bagging mulligan. he cant be worse than ferrante. its been nearly a season since he played give him a chance. Hell everyone else bar costa and marco has had plenty. He was dominant from CM in the game vs canty preseason. Also not sure whats up with all the chen fans and costa haters. to me costa has shown more in his limited time than chen.

Any chance of naming the starting 11, personally think he is a better option at rb for nz than a lot of others mooted.

In my opinion Aaron Scott is lucky to be in the All Whites as i believe he hasnt experienced any regular competitive football since the NZFC??  I guess he is there as there is no other right fullbacks apart from Mulli. Personally id just shift Sigmund or Ivan into right back against Bahrain as they are experienced enough to cope with the change or just play the 3 centre backs. Im glad the nix didnt pick Scott up as Manny has been playing well there.

Same as last time....our great defense against their excellent attack and our crap attack against their weak defense. Last time we cancelled each other out for a draw.

This time it is a battle of the coaches. Miron would have been working on ways of getting more movement out of his attackers so they can unlock our defense. Ricki would be working on the obvious.....how to get more goals out of our attackers.
 
There will be definitely more goals than last time but i think we will still cancel each other out...for another bleedin draw. phoenix home by 3-1 would be nice!!!!

More importantly are the Nix team's biorythyms all in the positive phase (no triple zeros please).

Fine weather forecast AGAIN (only one home match where it was naff).

cant wait. would like the 442 to go ahead because i feel like it will give us another central player to run off our passing and crossing. Bench Marco, Barbarouses, and Hearfield

Ricky needs to start Costa and perhaps sub Rojas in at some point in the second half (earlier?) both alongside Greenacre. Drop Ifil into the midfield attack with SuperLeo - but above all, ricky needs to stop subbing off attackers and putting in defenders. we need to win. we can only do that with attackers. The defense is fine - nothing too worrying there, it is the attack that needs a morale boost and I think two hungry young guys like Costa and Rja might be the boost we need and they can learn from the hardworking Greenacre and start us on our scoring ways (at last).

hmm cant remember once this season when Ricki has brought on a defender for an attacker? Apart from Manny last week, I cant even remember having a defender on the bench... ... ...

I agree that Costa and Rojas could provide a spark and a hunger, but they wont be the answer. Costa or Chen should start next to Greeny, as I think they are about level pegging, but Chen looks to be preferred this week which is fine by me if he can nip us some goals
