The Socceroos must now salvage a draw from the Suncorp Stadium clash after sharing the honours with Kuwait on Thursday morning.

Australia trail Kuwait on goal difference at the top of the group, one point clear of Oman who will take on Kuwait in the final qualification round.

"I'm thinking of that yeah," a weary Verbeek said at Sydney airport on Friday morning when asked if he would bring in his European based stars for the crucial clash.

"I've not decided yet. It's a 30-hour flight, and if they feel like I feel, I cannot play a ball and I had only 14 hours in the air, so I have to think about it which players are available and which players I need."

But when asked what positions he is looking to strengthen for the decisive clash, the Dutchman gave his strongest indication yet that he would turn to the likes of Tim Cahill, Harry Kewell and Lucas Neill.

"Every position. I cannot answer that question," he said.

Verbeek refused to speculate on the World Cup prospects of some of the A-League based players that featured in the encounter with Kuwait, including veteran defender Craig Moore who was released by Brisbane Roar last week.

"We will find somebody else (if Moore is unavailable for national duty)," the coach said. "There are always enough players who can do a job and that want to play here and maybe he's not leaving, we don't know."

Meanwhile Verbeek says a lack of exposure to international football and the challenge of playing on the road in Asia are the most likely reasons for his side's inability to hold onto their early two-goal advantage against Kuwait.

"Maybe that can be a lack of experience," he said. "If you're after five minutes 2-0 there's always a possibility that something like that happens.

'We should not underestimate the atmosphere of the game, especially after the first goal it was quite hectic so, it was a little bit unlucky just before half-time but I think they reacted well in the second half.

"It's a different world. We had a great training camp in Dubai and then you come to Kuwait and that is a totally different world. The fields, the entourage, you have to wait for hours at the airport but I think they enjoyed the trip."

Verbeek, who will remain in Australia until the end of March to monitor his A-League based players before relocating to Europe to finalise his squad, refused to speculate on his own future beyond the World Cup.

He added: "I haven't made up my mind at all and so far I think FFA also not, so there's no reason now to speak about it."
