SYDNEY - Australian forward Tim Cahill
believes the Socceroos more attack-minded approach under new
coach Holger Osieck will result in goals against Poland.
Australia missed a string of chances in a scoreless draw
against Switzerland on Friday, which was German Osieck's first
game in charge, but Cahill was confident they would get it
right in Krakow on Tuesday.
"Scotty (McDonald) missed chances, I missed chances, Bretto
(Holman) missed chances," the Everton player told AAP on
Sunday.
"But the main thing is we are backing each other and trying
to make sure we create more chances and really penetrate
teams."
Brett Emerton also backed the Socceroos to show more bite
in the friendly against Poland.
"There (are) both positives and a few negatives," said the
Blackburn Rovers player. "First half we created numerous
chances but did not finish them.
Osieck, assistant to Franz Beckenbauer when West Germany
won the 1990 World Cup, replaced Pim Verbeek as Australia coach
after the Dutchman left the post following the Socceroos exit
at the group stage of the World Cup in South Africa.
