We made some mistakes that are pretty common after six weeks off ... but we’ll get the cobwebs off our legs and get back into camp in December and sort things out. There’s quite a few days before we start the qualifying tournament, and I think our B team is a very good team we play against in practice, ...
We were a little unfortunate not to get more goals, but sometimes that’s the way it goes ... We’ll continue to play a new formation, it’s not perfect, but I’m pleased with the way the team responded.
The Phoenix crowd was fantastic
You got to remember it's a 90-minute game, and we've been known to come on late in the second half, especially when Alex comes in
We want to make the right mistakes by being more risk takers in the attack, and if we can do that moving forward
What it's supposed to do is provide us with more attacking opportunities, get more people involved in the attack, putting the personnel, the players that we have on the field, in a position to make them more successful ,which in turn makes our team more successful
They'll give us a tough time in every aspect of the game
