How did Holger take us backwards if his results are better than what they are now?

Hasn't Ange taken us backwards?
What was the average age, and average national games played of the starting XI in 2011? What is it now?

I'm not sure about 2011 but in 2010 Australia took the second oldest squad to the WC behind Italy.
Over the next 3 and a half years very little was seriously done to replace that squad.

It's progress under Ange, but it's not progress in terms of our performance at the Asian cup.

Surely you can see that right?

The starting XI for the Semi v Uzbek was average age 30.09 years (with 5 players over 30)
The starting XI vs UAE was 26.49 (2 over 30 - Timmy & Mike)

What do you win for this as opposed to what you win for results?

What do you win for making the final from a 6-0 result that you don't from a 2-0 result?

Right I see, you are now trying to compare our performance 4 years and basically a whole squad on from our last one. If that's the case, and a very strange way of comparing coaches, Saturday night will give you your answer.

I was one of Ange's biggest critics when he was appointed but I have been proven wrong by the Socceroo's performances in the Asian Cup.

They are playing with a recognisable style and confidence in their roles and have cover in every position, what more can you have as proof of progress?

Even when we lost against SK we were the much better side despite not being able to score.

It will be a different game altogether on Saturday night as Ange will have learnt all he needs to know about them by then and will devise a plan to beat them - just like he did a against UAE.
The older I get the better I was.
