Elimination Final v Melbourne City | Sunday 3rd May | 7:00pm

So every player who loses or doesn't play well just needs to care more or try harder? Look at how pissed off Roly just was.

You have to hope Ben Williams is on the take because otherwise he is just a useless waste of space and oxygen

Losing to city is bad.

But another performance like this is worse

I think we are being shown the value of moving away from a winning combination. Boxall at FB, Fenton in midfield, and A-rod on the bench has not worked.

lol...but we will of course politely clap at end of game...as article this morning said we had expectations.  Legitimate expectations

Let's not have a carlsberg man of the match please

cant blame the officials for us being ming

It goes back to mental toughness,  we lack that at the moment.  We achieved the goal that was set early in the season and then switched off

mom manny hes been phish

valedictories have started

He's got to go

2 years in a row we've finished the season with the wheels falling off.  What's the explanation Ernie??

So in summary, its fair to say that we can accept a loss but the manner in which we are losing is the most dis-heartening? 

We have not fired a shot and that is frustrating. Its a whimpering end.

Sign Mooy

one word... Clueless

cant agree more jeff

Saved myself about $400 and a day's annual leave by not travelling down from Napier for this one.

Im embarrassed.

Wish we could get away from Westpac Stadium.

the short passing game got found out "mid season" and closed down we haven't been able to cope adequately since.

Conga time?

theatrical Kenny

Oh ya kenny

An ugly night.  

Well in Kenny,  working right to the end

Lol. Just lol.

The frustrating thing for me is that if you take out the Central Coast game, we have scored one goal in the last 450 minutes of football.  We just haven't looked like we are in the contest.  I know News and others got a lot of shark for the 'Not a Striker' gag, but not having anything but wingers-cum-forwards is really haunting us.

I think people are mad if they think that Nathan Burns has had a better season than Aaron Mooy.

rieras been poor

Rod pulling out of a challenge when we're 2-0 down and then committing a foul..sigh

Glad I saved my money on going to watch this one..lucky to have got 8000 to pay.

PS..Don't send me reminder email for next season just yet please.

mooys not great

The frustrating thing is that we've been sharke for the last month. It's not like this performance is a surprise, just a continuation. 

cue 5 minutes of headless chooks

I feel sorry for anyone who travelled for this game

Dare I say it but we need a Tim Brown like player in the middle of the park

FTR, it is fair enough to criticise the way we have played in the last six weeks. I just think saying the reason we lost is because we don't care is cheap. It's up to Merrick to find out the reasons and decide where we go from here. I honestly don't know why we have turned to shark but I don't think it is a simple fix.
