Bresciano is he still alive

[Red-4-Life]

kewell gets selected to play in Melbourne, no surprise. Archie Thompson

[DOC]

what was said about nicholls?

an asian/australian majority squad was always on the cards, pretty sure sarota and schwazer only players from europe?

would say mckay left out to sort out his future

[Steve#4]

Nothing directly, just mentioned some young players need to stop reading their own press.

I suppose Nichols falls under that umbrella.

his form has dipped, still a gun but prob needs to pull his head in

This year apart from flashes of brilliance he has been pretty ordinary, this is where Holger is coming from.

Nichols had the chance to step up while Broich was injured but let that chance pass by.

He'll get there, has the talent just needs the effort.

still only very young, has made the right move to stay in the a league for a while longer yet

annoyed you missed out on getting mckay back?

Was never going to happen, hope he gets a fair go in Korea...Will suit his playing style.

well anything is better than that blue shite in glasgow

[dudley]

big crowd for this game considering its a dead rubber for us

[limozeen]

Have the socceroos been taking defending lessons from aufc?

Shouldn't be any such thing when you wear your country's shirt. Very ordinary performance lacking heart so far. Prett embarrassing for Australian football.

[dfkjs]

when the A-team get outplayed and struggle to beat Thailand then you've gotta expect a B-team to have trouble with Saudi Arabia

cant believe people are surprised by this

[No Clever Alias]

Need to get Milligan off and someone else on who can play in a defensive midfield role to properly screen the defence and put pressure on the man with the ball.

[M@rvin]

Not bad for the C team three goals in five minutes. Aus 4 Saudi 2.

[dfkjs]

the saudis capitulated faster than the socceroos in november 1997

[Red-4-Life]

great 2nd half, really turned it on and showed what they are capable of.

[We Done Ya]

I thought Bresh had an ordinary first half, but was b.o.g. in the second half. And Brosque, well without being an international superstar he seems to be fitting in very well in the squad and is a great alternative should Kennedy not play or Holger decides to play less direct.

More mature analysis from redback...

[mike17]

have aaaaaaaaaaaalways said we look better with bresh in the team

great to see him back

brosque looks dangerous too

almost seems like we have more depth up front than in midfield and defence

was the opposite a couple of years ago

[dfkjs]

was more a case of Saudis capitulating and awful defending than the socceroos playing better
those guys should be drug tested

some of the worst defending i've seen by professional footballers
