Yeah Ryan's been terrible.
Missing Cahill and bresc was one too many class acts missing. You could resonably argue that even with a full strength golden generation we arent in the ballpark. Spain made 7 changes which is what i feared, hungry fringe players ready to make a statement and lets be reasonable spains fringe players are still world class and better technically than our best.
Ange went in with a 4-3-3 as opposed to a 4-2-3-1 and the lack of defensive midfield cover shielding our shaky defebce showed. Our defensive structure needs a lot of work which was expected.
I actually think that since Viduka retired we are shooting ourselves in the foot playing 1 striker - he was a class act the way he was able to hold the ball up and bring our 3 attacking mids into play, we dont have a player anywhere near that skillset now - horses for courses
We should go with a 3-5-2 and play 2 strikers. Dependng on the opposition that can be an attacking or defensive formation, and give us beef where we need it at this point in time, defensively and attacking line
