Can't blame Moss for that one. We just didn't shut Novillo down at all. You can't give someone that much space in the box.
Elimination Final v Melbourne City | Sunday 3rd May | 7:00pm
Nice yellow Siggy, really firing the troops up there.
It is called having some passion. Something this team is lacking
fudgeing disgrace.
Only one team in melbourne!
F*** Victory and Heart

It's called sarcasm you dunce.

Well, that looks like season over. I think we lack mental toughness. Once we had reached the "low" goal that was set we have switched off. I dont think this season was one we, or the team should think is acceptable, far from it.
Fudgeing pathetic these last 5 weeks. Merrick has done nothing to stop the rot. What a complete waste of a great season.
What do you think Merrick should have done?
All those criticising Ricki- Ernie is starting Lia in a knock out final
disappointing end to what was a good season. Very saddening.
What the fudge has A-Rod done to be on the bench?
very little which is why he is on bench. Real question is why no more subs...
A small town in Europe........looking to bounce straight back up....well that aint going to happen

Agreed, Siggy and Boxall have passion, a few of our (star) players need to take a leaf out of their book
Great to see the nix fall like a ton of bricks .. great own goal !!
Melb v Melb semi final would be FFA dream come true rather than Melb v Wgtn.
Should have put money on Melbourne City to win. Least I would have got something out of this game.
Starting one of Fenton and Lia I understand, but not sure why both of them started to be honest.
Easy in hindsight I suppose. Lia has been good, Fenton hasn't offered much.

He has had one of his better games but I would have played A-Rod. Today isn't on Lia.
Why not chuck Hicks in there. A-Rod does nothing for me on attack

told Burns to pass or shoot it in the net?
At least we won't get thumped 10-0 by Melbourne A next week.
Our movement off the ball has been about the worst i;ve seen this season. The player on the ball has just stopped at times waiting for someone to move.
To say players have lost because they don't care or aren't passionate is hugely unfair. Have people never done poorly at something they cared a lot about?
Fenton in midfield hasn't worked at all. Surprised they haven't taken Boxall off
Normo's coming home
Sorry guys. Am unavailable to play on Sunday.
So fingers crossed that both us and Brisbane win both our next two matches and I will be down for the Grand Final!!!
LOLZ!

I have been out of the country for a while and have missed some games. Must admit I was a little shocked to see three of our I,ports on the bench at the beginning.
Auckland will rise once more

So you would have dropped Burns? The players who haven't played well have been some of our best. A-Rod or Cunningham started would have changed little.

Of course everyone has an off day from time to time, however these are professional players and they have been having an "Off Day" for 2 months

Grumpy old bastard alert
Did you know that these guys have actually played together before!? Surprising i know....
Fenton in midfield hasn't worked at all. Surprised they haven't taken Boxall off
worked once in second half and now seems to be the panacea...but we have lately been found out for "not a striker".

Fenton has actually done a lot better at the back recently. Also Muscat and Boxall aren't great at getting forward so we haven't had much support on attack at all.
absolute disgrace , professional players can't pass 10 yards, woeful
