he is seeing his options, we never have been full strength and i believe is testing the depth to see who he needs of his overseas stars for qatar, and then knows the talent pool for a tilt at brazil, tough time to come in with a squad in transistion, tournament coming up and a new game plan to be instilled in the players, needs time, hopefully everything gels before wc quals

its no shame losing to Egypt, and the result was expected, however in every game they've played so far under Osieck, they seem to have the defensive constitution of swiss cheese..and its not like they're creating a whole lot more opportunities as a result.

they're putting a lot of faith in Harry Kewell to be the difference between a team that is barely holding its own and a team that can do well at the Asian Cup.
this was a thrashing of Germany proportions, lets make no mistake. an honorable 2-0 loss would be no shame, but this was a damp squib.
Egypt even had the luxury to sub half of their team at 60 minutes such was their dominance, and even their B-team dominated.

He's better than Pim to say the least. More positive and I like the fact he has faith in A-League players.

I thought we were shite. Whats the point of attacking continuously in the air when we have noone to finish off. What about doing what Eygpt did and play the ball on the ground in the front third. That performance is as bad as I've seen. Pathetic tactics, pathetic skill, no pace. Surely Burns would be a star in this team. Where's a creative midfielder - we dont have one. Where's the pace up front. Slow at CB, Carney not up too it - gees.

i think we should be playing our youngsters bcoz the players that are playing now are going to be way too old and slow next world cup! our under 19s team has players with huge potential in it, we should be looking to develop those players for the next world cup

the only difference i see is his public persona
he is well trained in this regard and it is quite easy for him to learn from Pim's experiences with Australia in this area.

if you read between the lines i dont think he rates the A-league any higher than Pim. and Pim did select A-league players for the Socceroos despite myths that say otherwise.

dont think he is any better IMO

Possibly no better - the jury is out on that one

Definitely more positive - couldn't be any worse

I'm with you on this. Sasa wasn't impressive in debut which is harsh but need to develop young talent. Really like Amini - what a gun.
