I think the first half the boys were a bit nervous, it was a scrappy first half. |
I've made the point before, and I'll make it again, we don't have the depth of other countries. These four blokes, they are all very important to us. You don't want to be thinking about going into the World Cup without them. |
It a win-win situation for Archie, the club and for his country. Guus wants Archie to get some meaningful game time - and that's great for us. |
It is a major concern. We don't have the depth in the squad. We have 23-24 elite players. |
It was an ordeal, but we're going home. |
It's a chance for the fringe players and a lot of the A-League boys to step up and show what they can do at this level. It's a big leap from club football to the international arena. Some players aren't able to make that transition - so this game may answer a lot of questions one way or another. |
It's great news. It's just a matter of him healing. He's never had an injury like that in all the time he's been playing the game. |
Liverpool was also concerned that making Harry travel all the way to Australia and back when it was clear he could not take part in the matches was not in his best interests. |
Michael Beauchamp I thought was outstanding tonight, and he's put himself right in calculations (for the World Cup). |
That was a one-week proposition. He will be back next week. |
That's a huge bonus for us, |
The players are looking forward to it because they'd like revenge, |
The rule is pretty clear. If a player hasn't played for his club because of an injury leading up to an international then the club does not have to release him. |
This is a better option than having to go to Colombia, |
We will have to defend very well and take half-chances. It will come down to who takes the half-chances. |
