Sigmund and Lia now look like liabilities. Will this be the season that EM drops them? Boxall to be the new CB with D?


Thoughts 

ive got a song that wont take long, Adelaide are rubbish.. the second verse is same as the first.. ADELAIDE ARE RUBBISH

That is a very inexperienced backline without Sigmund. We already got rid of Lochhead but who have we replaced him with? Adams? No one who has done any better that is for sure. I think we need to sign another defender rather than lose those we already have. I still think igmund is probably our second best defender; he just needs to play a lot better than he did today.

Lia should have been gone a long time ago. He just offers nothing.

I'm not so sure Sigmund is dead weight just yet (and I am not a fan). I think he needs 're-coaching' in holding his position in the back lilne and not leaving it but I would not say he is in the dead weight category.

Lia, well its hard to argue that one....

I thought Sigmund did alright tonight, bar being caught out of position causing us to concede. He's had worse games. Lia also has played worse.

You are just being kind. We need to get rid of Lia, Muscat and Sigmund.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

This seems to be your new hobby horse


Edit: It is too early to start this sort of talk or thread, we need to see how the team settles under Ernie. Lets give them a chance

LIA-bility. My grandmother can pass better and she's dead. He's either thugging it up or passing the ball 5 metres over the sideline / to the opposition. Muscat? Hardly deadweight. Decent player and worth keeping.

4. sl*gging players off. The forums are not a place for sl*gging players, fans, or officials off without a defence of your position (Jag you pedantic Scots git). It is ok to express an informed view on why a particular player did or did not play well. It is not ok to start a thread along the lines of "so and so is crap". People who start such threads, or continue to comment along those lines, will be banned. If you see any posts that are offensive use the "report" button.

Surely Siggy's nowhere near the 'dead weight' stage yet.

FFS the only liability we have is some of bullshit that gets posted on these forums. Seriously i have to ask if some you are really Phoenix fans. Cunts

I think if Siggy held his position instead of being caught forward and out of position he will still be useful especially with his experience.

Lia has struggled for awhile although most of our midfielders don't really stand out either (Except Muscat). We gave up a lot of fouls through the center and the work rate of the front line really supported the midfielders.

There is no 'report button' thus rule no 4 does not apply.

Relax cupcake. If you don't think Lia is a liability then you've got rocks in your head. His distribution is . . . i can't even put it into words how bad it is. It's just horrendously bad and costs us so much possession. If you're happy with mediocre players that's fine, but some people expect more. You've clearly got low expectations, and that's fine too . . .

Nice one. Six cookie monster cupcakes for the top 6 all time nix scapegoats.


Top left: Mark Paston - good mouth on him, organises defence well, but so large that he doesn't even move when a shot is beyond him. At least pretend to dive cookie monster, just for the cameras.

Top right: Leo Bertos - seems to have bitten own mouth in half due to fear of actually taking a shot. Just pull the bloody trigger cookie monster.

Bottom left: Tony Lochead - Three mouth biscuits instead of the standard two. Clearly not on the same page as the rest of the team

Bottom centre: Ben Sigmund - bloody big gaps in the middle there cookie monster

Bottom right: Troy Hearfield - all over the place, a bit crumbly, probably drunk




And Tim Brown being the invisible one in the middle, obviously.

This thread is crap. This thread is also about as useful as my comment in it.
