Australia’s 1-1 draw with Switzerland was half a step forward and half a step back, with Mary Fowler once again struggling to make an impact.
How do the Matildas get the absolute best out of Mary Fowler? It’s an enduring mystery that has been tackled by four different coaches now, none of whom has cracked the code to any satisfying degree.
Fowler, 21, is a supremely gifted player who has made a superb start to her club season with Manchester City – but at international level, she remains a rocks or diamonds case, who drifts frustratingly in and out of games. The Matildas aren’t exactly flush with truly elite talent in attack – especially while– and so they can’t really afford for her to be a peripheral figure going forward. But that she was again.
Sermanni will go back, review the tape and try to figure out how to get Fowler the ball more often – but whoever Football Australia chooses as the Matildas’ permanent coach may end up having different ideas. Which is what makes it so hard to assess this game, and however many more will come under Sermanni: they’re essentially in a holding pattern. This team is dying to begin a new era, but they can’t do that just yet, and so any deeper analysis of his tactics is kind of pointless.
