Better than Arnie's 90th minute sub and leaving 4 on the bench. That is what lost it with me for him.

I remember the olympics campaign where we didn't rotate the midfield against spain (if we were parking the bus play devlin and baccus!) then we ran out of legs against egypt

I think apart from our defense, our biggest asset is our depth so I'm glad popa is using it
 
Maybe Yengi off with the sore knee but he seemed fine. Can't make mistakes of putting old guard on.

We're not changing to a back 4. Put Geria on for Miller now and get suffocating them.

The back 5 does hinder us. I'd want Boyle on now but wouldn't want McGree or Goodwin off. We can have only one 6.

Asian Cup lack of rotation cost us in ET and nearly cost us in Qatar as we had few changes.
 
Behich offside again. Bordering unprofessionalism. Solid tackle Miller there. Best moment of game for him.
 
I got the feeling that for most of the first half Behich only put the ball forward on the left when he was the one running there.

Several times in the first 15 minutes we had a player ahead of him on the left, Behich facing forward to see it, and he turned it back.

Miller's pace is sort of balancing out his lack of skill. That pissweak flop on the ball early on exposed us for a moment and I hope he learned from it. When Bahrain are trying to get in behind with pace Miller is doing a pretty good job of getting back. I am not minding his random touches so much with the positives he is bringing to unsettle their lefthand side.

Yengi's long legs have made the difference several times. Great to see him anticipating.

Gauci lost the job with is dribbling cockups last game.

Keep at it, maintain our forward movement and score again!
 
That's an excellent track and arrack by Miller there. Well done. Christ though Behich and Irvine down there not knowing what to do in attack.
 
Could you imagine a ME ref here? There'd be chaos arguing with the Bahrain players and the ref would buck.
 
Zilch through midfield. Both poor. Just long balls, heaps of space. No links ups. Bahrain getting ball and now doing something.

O'Neill and Geria on sideline.
 
Lucky Bahrain didn't pass that through. Holy shit Irvine and Miller off. Watch us look better now.
