doesnt look like it Al-taay can play wide I guess.
Clisby should be seeing a yellow for that challenge.

Its only a weird change if you arn't on board with shutting up shop at 60mins and play for the draw.

you see al-taay as a defensive option?
time will tell.
looks like a small change anyway, al-taay and Rufer sitting central with Kraev and Pennington higher, more of a 4-4-2

We are really missing a more creative midfielder a dribbler to give us some variety going forward.

So from my very limited understanding of playing it out from the back, the idea is it enables you to keep the ball. If you hoof it long, there is a lesser chance of that. 
Which is why I am incredibly confused on our approach to progressing up the pitch today.  We playing it out, find pressure, pass it back and then pump it long….So the end result is the action we are trying to avoid by playing it short.

our primary attack option seems to be to hold the ball at the back and wait for a run from the midfield through the defence.
So far that long killer pass hasnt found the mark.

Paulsen has cramp. He's gonna have to work os his hydration if he wants to be the #1

Hopefully Old can bring that. Sutton is another player that’s a bit more creative. But definitely lacking in creative players

It can be a positive result and still boring as fudge. They're not mutually exclusive.

Absolutely.

But given the vibes of disinterest it's not going to be turned around quickly from this outing.

Having said that, it looks brutally fudgeing hot, and both teams just look fudgeing wrecked.

With the cramp stops I wonder how much extra time will be tacked on.

I agree with you, but moaning about playing it safe and slow on a hot 3pm kickoff away game is hardly a new tactic. Especially with a newish team with a new manager in charge.

I think it really just confirms that we shouldnt be worried about our guys cramoing when the aussie based players are too,
more subs on the way.

Aussie ref, probably not seeing a foul and then seeing the handball.

Is that 2 fouls in a row when we've been going forward the ref didn't give a shark about?

I dunno, it's kind of an entertainment product. That's literally the whole reason professional football exists. I think it's a very fair complaint.
