For Tony Popovic, he needs to stop trying to be too clever and bring in the best players in attack. When you play counter attacking football, to drop your goal scorers is a very risky move.

Christian Volpato showed in the second half against the USA why Popovic was so keen on him, completing 5 successful dribbles, his directness made a significant difference.

There are some calls for Lucas Herrington to come in after a poor showing from Cameron Burgess, but his lack of experience compared to Burgess makes it hard to put him in the starting side.
