Get get Skoko or Cahill in for Grella. Schwarzer is playing well, easily deserves it more than Kalac. Viduka probably coulda done something better with that chance as well.

I think it's more the system and co-ordination that's letting us down as opposed to Grella himself.

And the Viduka header, I thought that was pretty much all he could have done with that chance, low into the bottom corner. It was a definite equaliser until EvdS flung himself out of nowhere.

Not very good defendin at all. And our midfield of Grella, Bresciano and Culina just haven't made any impact against the superior Dutch. Emerton against look very shit, Sterjovski again iz shithouse. We really don't look good witout the likez of Cahill and Kewell.

Some positive signz towardz the end of the first half though, a few passez strung together. Culina I thought should've passed instead of shootin, just like the way he did against Greece. But wit Sterjovski on the right I don't think he can be trusted either.

We seem a bit overwhelmed by our tough opponent...but the positive side is that we are still only down 1-0 (Should be 2-0 though- Grella's handball inside penalty area was blatant). Remember that we are also missing Kewell and Cahill at the moment. They are two of our better players. We did show signs of improvement towards the end of the half...but we have to keep alot more posession of the ball. Hopefully we will see Cahill come into the game early in the second half.

Its probably the crappy blue jersys...

 

[bazookajoe]

That's what the commentator suggested. Great save by Schwarzer just then, but the dfense is really struggling with set pieces

 

[Raginsheep]

Cahill comming on now now I think. Sterjovski off

 

[Paragon]

Not that there was any doubt before, but Schwarzer > Kalac, with all due respect. Timmy's in, Sterjovski out. Thank you, Guus.

 

[matt#1]

Mille Sterjovski off...Timmy Cahill on! ...hopefully Timmy can have a decent impact.

[stazi]

lol horrible penalty we were lucky to score on the follow up.
positive: schwartzer is amazing

 

[Paragon]

Schwarzer's in a shooting gallery.

 

[bazookajoe]

Although I suppose Aloisi, Kewell and Vidmar aren't playing...

God the defense is atrocious! Schwarzer is saving us.

 

[matt#1]

Schwarzer is all class. How many world class saves has he made tonight? Our defence is certainly a worry though.

 

[Raginsheep]

Lucky I didn't watch it.............last time I did dukes missed majorly

 

[Paragon]

Far out, did we decide to play without a defence ? I can picture Zico and Kranjcar just salivating when then watch our backline horrorshow.
