Phoenix line up for tonight's match: Mark Paston, Leo Bertos, Andrew Durante (captain), Ben Sigmund, Tony Lochhead, Manny Muscat, Vince Lia, Dani Sanchez, Paul Ifill, Louis Fenton and Stein Huysegems.
Substitutes: Tyler Boyd, Alex Smith, Benji Totori, Griffin McMaster.
lols - that's pretty close to the "up you" 5-3-2 some-one suggested
or 4-2-3-1 aka 6-3-1 if you please
Smith instead of Lia might have shown a bit more attacking intent
Still, the guys could do this, no reason why not, if they work hard up front instead of playing old men statues like last week
Touch wood Sanchez shows us he can be the goods and lays on the assists, defence splitting passes and a real combo with Stein
Hopefully Siggy's reading it right from the training pitch ...
"Sigmund, who will play his 100th game for the franchise on Sunday, said the side were fully aware they had to lift their performance this week.
"<b>At the end of the day everyone was probably below par in terms of attitude and effort and that's pretty easy to fix so I think you've got to look at yourself and I think that's what we've done. Training this week was 10 times better and everyone's put themselves about so hopefully come Sunday you'll see a different team on the pitch than last week.</b>''
