When the high line is broken Oluwayemi HAS to go towards the attackers, he is making it too easy by either staying still or going backwards.

If he goes forwards he may not stop the goal but he definitely decreases their chances

At the game both goals looked offside, Cosgrove is frigging dirty and should be on a second yellow at the minimum 
Cosgrove definitely offside on the 2nd but didn't interfere apparently

For the first, he was offside when the ball was played to Randall and never got back onside - but I think Randall was slightly ahead of him when he passed it to Cosgrove, therefore putting him back onside

Edit: Apparently Cosgrove credited with the 2nd so therefore goal shouldn't have stood?

That was an entertaining watch first half.

Apart from the early goal, I thought the Nix were the superior team the first 20 mins.

AFC then took control for the last 25 mins. Nix are probably lucky they are only one down but are still in this. 

Where is the report on what Ollie Sail had to say?

Auckland will rise once more

Good test for us here. Lucky not to be out of it, but unlucky not to have our first choice RB and RW to produce a magic goal. 

Nervous af, but more excited about a game of football than I’ve been in a long time…

Ricardo should be used way more on Sky.  He's brilliant.

Don’t think he was off when Randall shot? That’s the important point right?

Think Oluwayemi will get dropped at all. I think we should have gone in for someone like Matt Sutton from Western United at least. (if we have visa spots).

Hard disagree. Constant betting odds being brought out are a blight on sports broadcasting.

Come on Phoenix! Scare the crap out of them. Blunt their spirit. Remind them they’re just a bunch of kids running around in jerseys. Show the league they’re not to be feared and that they’re very beatable. 

Come On!

We are really missing James. The back line needs a leader. Two goals from not being properly aligned.
Eze is my favourite....what a goal.
Cosgrove should have got a yellow for that wrestling throw on LKH. The guys a bone head.
We are not out of this but we have nothing on the bench.

Why is Hall still on?

Card them all. He has to go off. Pricks.

If this gets reversed just walk off. Clear red. 
You can’t stay on until VAR reverses it.

 Why would we need a visa for Matt Sutton? He is an Australian.

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

unfortunately the way we play doesnt necessarily become more effective if they are down a man. We will need to up our ball speed to create and utlise any space. 
Randall will still be a threat

Ref allows the keeper to change side of the goal kick.
That's a yellow card offence.
