Wonder if the Newcastle fans are in as much uproar as they were when he was here. I was thinking that last night. With all the injuries they have why not shout him back from his loan. They made plenty noise us not playing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Prince Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Oz v Syria was a dreadful match. Syria sat back in terror for a while but once they realised Oz were clueless in attack they started to play and could easily have won it. Looked a lot better when McGree and Baccus came on but that was pretty dire. Asian teams will drag you down to their level though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Atkinson has done okay defensively first half. Under a fair bit of pressure down his side. A couple of times attacking he didn't make the right pass. Australia get ridiculous penalty for unintentional hand ball with arm behind him on ground. 1-0. Boyle.

Jamboross Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 1-1 Poor from Natty who didn't do enough to stop the cross coming in. Australia been pretty poor overall seem to be playing within themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamboross Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Finishes 1 each so they top the group and likely to play one of China, Indonesia or Palestine in the next round. Natty went off with cramp just before the end. They are so slow in possession, lots of sideways passing and no creativity. It's just like watching Hearts.

Jamboross Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Aye you're both right was just basing that on what the Aussie presenter on Channel Ten was saying. Looking at it myself I think they can now only play the third place team (4 best 3rd placed teams also qualify) from group C or E which will likely be either Palestine or Bahrain.

The Black Prince Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Rowles had an excellent game. Atki was pretty good although might have done better to stop the cross that led to their equaliser. Oz still playing like shite for the most part (despite topping the group). Can see an early exit if we don't start taking chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"avoiding playing Japan', "hasn't even moved to Korea" "afraid of Japan" etc. They'll probably play Japan in the final. I don't like their omitting LEE Seung-woo from the squad.
