Where's Catley?
No EVE!

Catley not taking part in this international window altogether, she's on personal leave along with Foord.

Harper about Carpenter. Sometimes not the final result is not there.

No shit. 50 lung busting runs a match but can't find anyone in the final third.

 

[Muz]

They look way better in this game.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

They look way better in this game.

Matildas still looked somewhat shaky defensively early on though but we are capitalising better on chances.

 

[Muz]

Huge improvement here. Just goes to show you what a spud Gustavsson was.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Just the one minute of first half stoppage time. Still scoreless between the Matildas and Slovenia.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Half time at HBF Park. No score between the Matildas and Slovenia.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Huge improvement here. Just goes to show you what a spud Gustavsson was.

And rightfully so Tony Gustavsson ended up getting the sack after the Matildas' disastrous Olympics campaign.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Second half underway. No changes for either side.

 

[Muz]

Carpenter finally makes a pass that leads to a goal.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Michelle Heyman scores in the 50th minute, Ellie Carpenter with the assist. Matildas now lead Slovenia 1-0.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Remy Siemsen with a shot at goal but skies it out of bounds on the full.

Remy Siemsen with a shot at goal but skies it out of bounds on the full.

That wasn’t a shot, she was trying to cross it. And out of bounds on the full? This isn’t AFL.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Two changes for the Matildas. Holly McNamara on for Michelle Heyman. Hayley Raso replaces Kaitlyn Torpey.

 

[Barca4life]

Huge improvement here. Just goes to show you what a spud Gustavsson was.

Finally a Australian national team coach they recognise you can play through a midfield lol.

 

[Barca4life]

The Matilda’s are already playing nice football, which goes to show what were the previous coaches we doing making them into a counter attacking team that would spam crosses.

A much more enjoyable watch as well.

 

[Keeper66]

Have been very disorganised defensively for the last 10 minutes or so.

 

[grazorblade]

missed the 1st game, but the goal we scored was very nice and we were clever getting players free in buildup

some poor decision making in the final third though and looked fragile in defense at times

 

[Muz]

Weird game. We were way better but drew. Shit the other night and won 3 nil.
