Sth Korea has always been a tough opponent in Asia Cup. 2018 it ended 0-0. 2014 we beat them 2-1. Just got done with a sensational goal that the keeper couldn’t see coming because the players in front of the shot parted late. The midfield needs more options as seen when Wheeler had to go off. I think she’s addes something to the team since she’s come in. Playing 4-1-4-1 and using Fowler, Symon as midfielders is a stop gap measure. Find a way to play through the middle instead of just relying on runs and crosses from the full backs. Carpenter had the clamps put on her a bit. Most of the players were fresh from being rested in the Thailand game except Van Egmond or the previous game against Philippines. Why does Foord play on the left side when she always cuts in on her right foot? Kerr had a shocker. In fact in the other games she could have scored more goals than she did. We’re not clinical finishers. Find some midfield options to cover the deficiencies in defence and to provide better balls for Kerr and Fowler. Those two, along with Carpenter and Catley are the first picked. Then probably Van Egmond as she has good technique. People calling for Raso but she’s as hit and miss as the rest and struggled to keep possession against an Indonesian team that was below A-League standard. Playing the kids against Indonesia wouldn’t have taught them anything about international football.
