There's that setpiece defending we're so accustomed to.

Vitoria with the stupid foul to give up the tying goal off a set piece.

Nah man. He had to do that. 

[InglewoodJack]

Jacen Russel Rowe first international goal 

[king1010]

Not great. 

[jonovision]

I don't even blame the set piece defending. That's on McGraw and Vitoria for the previous play.

[Jack1997]

Not really JRRs fault, if he doesn’t touch that the guy behind him is gonna get that anyway.

[jonovision]

Zator really didn't do enough to put his man off either.

[king1010]

Let’s see how Herdman blames this one on the CSA in the post game presser

[VinceA]

Not really surprised. Guadeloupe are a strong team, and stronger than Guatemala and Cuba.

[gwsmith63]

Back shortly lads. Off to get my popcorn for KJ’s rant……..

[Macksam]

It's alright, learn from it and come out better against Cuba and...I forget, who else do we play?

I don't think McGraw was involved - think it was Zator with the whiff that led to the Vitoria yellow.

Because JRR and Shaffelburg stupidly lost the ball, trying to grind a corner. And when they lost possession they didn't made the tactical foul.

It was JR-R and Shaff, actually.

[canadave]

If I squint, I can imagine Ahmed having a future as a bench option for this team. That's about the only good takeaway. 

[The Beaver 2.0]

Frustrating performance, but these tournies are all about learning and adapting fast.  Great opportunity for a bunch of guys to step up, including the old guard, but certainly the new faces and fringe players.  What we want to see is growth from game to game.  If we can go into the knockout round with a team that knows how to play well together, then I'll be happy.

Just wondering was this a friendly ? What’s with all these bloody changes ? This is on Herdman I’m sorry , not good not good at all it’s fucken Guadalupe!

[Dominic94]

Wow

[gwsmith63]

Hoilett off too soon.  Managing the game was shite.  What the hell were they doing losing the ball so easily.  Osorio was gassed but Hoilett gets subbed ?

Using 5 subs isnt uncommon. Guadaloupe is the second best team in the group with some solid players. 

[Ruud]

You have to say they deserved a draw. 

[gwsmith63]

Just watching the replay of that tying goal and we do such a poor job of attacking that first header that just seems to come off the Guadalupe attacker and go to the far side of the 6 yard box. Very, very poor. Yet not surprising.

[spitfire]

And the hoilett change was really strange for me too started the 2nd half so well bossing the game… then gets pulled. Yes we scored but the rhythm was gone
