COSTA BARBAROUSES

Costa's time will come. Perhaps now is the time to come up with a song for him. 17 and living the dream. How many of us wish we were in his position eh? I'd love to be 17 again and doing this for a job for sure.

we've got one

sings "nothing rhymes with bararouses!!"

Cant really say hes going to be a star and going to be massive after one good performance. I remember everyone last month saying hes to young for the A-League.

Why did last nights match change anything?

yeah i agree there are better players in the team. sure he should be there for a season or two away its good that hes being cultured into a good player but he will have to wait for the better players to finish

for grandpa Coveny, that'll be in about 3 weeks

Costa looked very good last night, he showed good touch, vision and pace. Particularly I liked his pace.

He got pushed off the ball once or twice, but that happens also to the other regulars. Name me a player in the team who hasnt lost a tackle or two. Some of the ones others have lost out on, have turned to goals against us, he is in the clear there as far as I recall.

At this stage of the season we are unlikely to make the finals. So what should the goal of this team be now?

First goal is to win as many matches as possible, to be as far up the ladder as possible, to establish winning patterns. So we should always be starting our strongest team.

I don't see him making that lineup.

But I would like to see The Boss give him some regular opportunities, say 10 - 15 minutes at the end of 2 or 3 games. And give him a licence to take players on and to shoot half chances.

I would like to see how he does with a clear chance, to see if he is a finisher. We lack finishers in the team.

Several of those more experienced above him in the order now have had golden opportunities but not taken them.

Give him a chance, Ricky.

I haven't been saying that - ever since his first match I thought he should be a regular player, even if it's only as a sub on for the last fifteen or so minutes.

Good for Costa's confidence seeing him run at players, knock some good passes around - good, confident passing. He's quality, and just needs to be managed right to develop into an excellent player. Getting a run last night will have done him the world of good.

eeekkk I just thought I'd publically express my views about costa, cause I thought he did well last night and I've created a stir and enticed rob to have toasties for lunch...

Hi Lisa Ki. Been enjoying your thoughts too.

Lettin you know that I chose my user name because the main symptoms of Hepatitis are:

Jaundice, a yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, and fever.

Of course I went last night, if only for the Phoenix

WE'RE (YF) here to watch the football.
THEY'RE (teeny boppers) there to watch the topless british sex symbol.

Not that there's anything wrong with that though

OOOOOOOOOO thank God for that ;)

Is is sad that I'm a biology student and yet that went straight past me? Simply didn't put two and two together. Good work

OOOO  another female, I thought I was being wayyy out numbered with males.

Same old fangirls, always dodgy. ;)

Maybe we could conjure up something to the tune of Baa Baa Black Sheep?
