Way too casual.

Brooks is being being owned.
Rich Bag is over confident and keeps giving away ball.

Really not sure what our game plan is. KSA it's obvious and they're doing it well.

 

[true believer]

we have two things always against us . lack of pace and no finishing skills

we were all over them for 20 minutes . we have no finish when it counts and no pace

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Stop giving the damn ball away Rich! hate to play CM in front of that guy.

Got lucky then too

I just don't think we look cohesive as a team. I have no idea how we're looking to structure our attacks.

Yengi and Kuol have pace.

Ok maybe not lucky. This guys a f**king idiot.

Really?

And he's gone. Stupid stupid thing to do.

 

[true believer]

stooge call . the commentator is complicit

 

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

Not as bad as the NZ disallowed goal but the foul is committed by the Saudi player.

what he is a gymnast now ?

He kicks out deliberately. Clear as day. He's in an international semi final with VAR. Very stupid thing to do.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Yup. I don’t think it was deliberate but it was definitely stupid.

First head kick only he'll know if he tried to lash out, second one is clear and obvious.

 

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

That's not a penalty? I give up on VAR. I mean I never wanted it.

Didn’t get to watch but it seems Nisbet and Yazbek have been criminally under utilised this campaign. Favouring D’Arrigo (meh) and others playing in PL under 23s. I can understand Najjarine in the more attacking role but he hasn’t done enough there.

Game turned when Yengi took that loose ball off Koul and just missed trying to twist to much when Koul had the easy shot to put us up 1-0

Then Bos get caught flat footed on the 1st goal.

Not convinced as FP it was a kick out by Rich as he’s in the air and I think it was part of his motion in the air and not a kick but maybe my Yellow glasses were biased. Pissed me iff that VAR goes looking for it again and watching Saudi’s hit the floor every tackle was to much and I turned it off at the half. Just hate watching Asian football when all these things happen.

Was very surprised that the coach took off Yengi. Had to be Brooks for me. We are a goal down so we needed the dual threat of Koul and Yengi. Brooks has done nothing all tournament and Yengi looked threatening.

Miller has been cramped for time and space and his decision making has been to slow and didn’t have a good tournament.

How did we not score off those first few corners.

Miller isn't that great against better opposition. Doesn't have the technical defensive skills.

Agree about Asian football and it’s not in a good space in my opinion when these theatrics are allowed to smother the game. Three red cards in a tournament says something, clear bias by the officials and they have the final they want now. I watched all games and we had some terrible tackles against us but no VAR review and just yellows. I also noticed in a few games if a hand ball was appealed against us it was always checked by VAR and yet we had a clear Pen not given. Overall it was a terrible tournament to watch but the lads did pretty well under trying conditions. I know the Uzbeks took over the tournament after a late withdrawal by China but surely they could have promoted it a bit more. Some games would have been lucky to have 100 people watching live.
