@machpants Fuck that makes us look even worse, what are our analysts doing if this bloke can make it look so simple.

It has been said here on the fern the attack is simpy fling it wide with such skill they can't keep up. Problem is Tier 1 side can keep up, it is a pathetic (and as Squidge says arrogant) way to run. So dumb so simple, works great against teams that don't have the individuals that better teams do. And Foster's conclusion is true 'we just have to execute the gameplan better and we'll win' - problem is the level required to acheive that is beyond human against a Tier 1 team firing on all cylinders. Makes me fucking RAAAAAAAAAAGE how shit the ABs coaching team is.

@machpants do we honestly think Fozzie had a moment of brilliance at half time and came up with a gameplan....or the guys on the pitch just decided to go old school and keep it tight

Give me option B

@machpants exactly, i think that suggestion was pretty generous
-
@kiwiwomble or they forgot the game plan, reverted to basics, then after 15 mins, a sub came on and reminded them they were not playing to script!

I don't want to like this, that would make me truly furious.
Is anyone, anyone, looking forward to the next season under these genial buffoons? -

Squidge " Ian Foster's ABs attack is bad...No is worse than that...it's average, it is the attack of an unambitious mid table club side being executed by players so individually talented, some times they score despite the system, rather than because of it"
So true. We see, he sees it, media are even beginning to. NZR? Nah he rocks!
actually that video also reminds me how shit Barnes is. Shocking.

Missed clear obstruction in first try and accidential offside in lead up to another score. Without looking closely.
What was wrong with Richie? For example, when Ntarmack behind his line, he goes for strip instead of putting shoulder into him. Even if he wriggles away Jordie finishes him off. Missed the chance for knock out punch! FFS.

I don't know. He really had an off-day. Didn't seem to trust himself or others. Same with David Havili. I wonder if their confidence is gone.

Well, the good news for you guys is that the ABs are definitely not peaking in between world cups 🤣
What if they are?
Depressing thought... -

I have had the sobering but treacherous thought that Rieko has been playing well because he has trouble following a gameplan..

Pita Ahki
Played for Tonga and NZU20s and NZ 7s? We could use someone like him. And Moala.
But if they fix their injury worries I'd have no problems with twin midfielders, just imagining what dummy running tactics one could come up with, with twins that could almost look like.
