    Okon-Engstler coming off is a tough one. He has definitely been our best player. Unfortunately that the hamstring can't keep going.

    Saudi players influenced that card. Think it was a bit harsh on Inserra. The Saudis are going to keep doing that all game though to influence the ref.

    Ball is getting to the front line and getting lost too easily. Jovanovic big culprit here.

    I actually don't think we are doing too bad. We are just rushing things a bit at times, but when we play through their press, their is space. Sloppy passes like that don't help. We just need to calm it down a bit. Okon-Engstler been good at this.

    The Indigenous flag not aligning with the Nike logo on the inside of the shirt is driving me a bit crazy

    We can control the game, but we are just a bit untidy.

    Does Sermanni stay on as head coach for 2025 and beyond?

    That doesn't guarantee success. He would have also been assistant during a period that the players spoke out about if I'm not mistaken. Bringing him back into the team would not go down well in that case. As for Wiegmann, I can't imagine England would let her go that easy. If the FA are...

    I would not advocate for dropping Gorry, but we need to think long term about who will replace her and who can come in as cover for her. She can't be the one we rely one. Arnold has shown herself to be a quite liable at times, and at this level, you need to have a solid goalkeeper. If we are...

    Arnold, Williams, Kennedy, Van Egmond, Yallop, Gorry (I would start to thnk about her replacement), Luik, Heyman. All of them are either in the squad or were recently called up. They should not have automatic selection as some of them have shown they are liabilities. They also have not really...

    No. You blend them in with the right experienced players. What you are suggesting is that you never allow non experienced players to play in these tournaments because they just won't be up to it. How do you think we got Sharn Freieir as a now considered starter? You are always going to have...

    You don't have to think I'm right, but you asked the question, I provided the evidence. I've followed the Matildas for a very long time. Even got to watch them up front and see how they operated just before the World Cup. They played against our U16s in a warm up match. We are shooting...

    Yeah, I mean working with International players at Manchester United. Coaching international players at NPL clubs. I obviously have no idea what I'm talking about.

    There is plenty of depth. However, I never said we don't need experienced players. I've never said those words. You said we have no depth, and the fact that I could make a second 11 using players that are in the current squad, and also not in the current squad shows a level of depth. We need...

    I'm aware they are injured, I was just going with the team if all are available. I also didn't realise you wanted a side with players who have less than 10 caps. That I can give you GK - Lincoln RB - Rankin CB - Roestbakken CB - Heatley LB - Nash RM - Galic CM - Gomez CM - Lowry AM - Sharn...

    I never said you leave out every single experience player. You need a good blend. I'm just going to go with a basic 4-5-1 GK - Micah RB - Capenter CB - Hunt CB - Grant LB - Catley RM - Raso CM - Cooney-Cross CM - Wheeler AM - Fowler LM - Sharn Frieier ST - Laini Frieier/Torpey/Kerr

    We certainly do have the depth. The issue with this thinking is that if we don't blood the youngsters and do the right thing by them, we definitely wont have the players we need when the experienced players retire. Lack of depth is definitely not the issue here.

    Fair. I've bought from kitgg and kitmm and never had any issues though.

    I wouldn't say he's brought in a whole bunch. Many of them were there about's and in the squad. He brought in debutants in matches where it was easy wins, but also he never really stayed with them or continued to develop them. Look a the squad he played against Japan. Still using a lot of the...

    Give it some time and kitmm or kitgg will have the kit with the Nike logo and all.

    Anyone who has been following the Matildas knows that a result like that was not a surprise. It's been building for a long time. The Matildas don't get Media scrutiny because they have been the darlings of sport in this country for some time. They earned some form of leeway and backing, but...
