Elimination Final vs Glory | Sat 22nd Aug | 7:00pm | SS7

I thought he shoved him over from the same replay. Also based on 2-3 others he's got wrong and no card for the Ingham challenge.

Perth have done well at shutting down Libby

The only benefit I can see with Sotirio starting is we can bring on more dangerous players later when the defence has tired.

Our issues go back to preseason.  We couldn't score then and we can't score now.  Hoops was the difference.  That chance where Sotirio was free and he didn't know what to do would have been a goal for Hoops, Smeltz, Krishna, Williams or Stein.

No card for Ingham was the worst decision of the half. 

Well based on this season it will be McCowatt and he won't be much of a goal threat either.

I don't think we should bag Sotirio for being a willing bit part player, who is now our main elimination final striker.

I think Talay's plan is to use him to draw their defence in to create space.  Only problem is our attackers bar Ulises have been pants.

Would like to see Libby getting a bit more ball and running at them pretty obvious they are shark scared of him and the more he runs at them the better chance for them to make mistakes or give away free kicks.

It's more having the team together to hear what the instructions are, what to watch out for, what we can do better. Personally think it boosts morale and teamwork. 

I think you've gone from anti-jinx to jinx-jinx!!!

Also would've been a goal for Ball, Davilla, Steinmann, Cacace, heck, maybe even Marinovic!

This game is like a replay of how we have been since lockdown. Dominating the match. Lots of lovely play in the buildup for zero result then conceding a goal out of nowhere. You  wouldn’t put money on either Satirio or Ball actually putting the ball into the back of the net. We need a little bit of magic from Davila. He looks like he is finally getting his mojo back again. The commentators said if we keep attacking like this we must eventually score....however we are just as likely to score against us. Not overly confident about the rest of the game. Hope I am wrong!

anyone in the nix to score for us please. Oggie also acceptable 

Fkn hell, they are queuing up!

And the store is empty...

I give up excepting us to score.  I'm hoping for an own goal (from them). 

shame Davila stole Libby’s shot, was definitely better placed 

going out with a whimper at the moment 

That's form for us sadly.  Maybe we need Reddy back in goal for us, really seems to do well in playoff footie.

Uffie sticking to his game plan when we are short of the players to make it work as it was. Lack of belief. Popa masterclass at the moment.

Davilla makes the space brilliantly, gets in a cross....to no one.

Davilla can be too greedy sometimes. Sotirios strength is his pace. He really should've released him early.

Nixs given up, u can see they look disinterested . they cant even put to passes together.

We couldn't score if the game went on for another 3 hours...

What has happened to David Ball? He's a shadow of the footballer he was before the break.

I'd bring Rufer on for Devlin.  He's having a poor game.

That's harsh, there wasn't the angle to release Sotirio. Only option he had was to keep possession.

thought that was in

Plus Sotirio was offside.

Oops didn't mean to this this 

Fixed.

Why has it recently become OK for players to pull shirts? Perth player practically pulled Libby over and no advantage to us from the whistle not being blown.

Come on Phoenix!

How can it be that we overload their penalty box, cross the ball in and no one is by the far post to stick it in??? Basics...

No exaggeration.. Hooper, McCowatt or even Waine would have put away one of Sotirios changes 

just need one goal to be back in this, come on nix

Ref letting some shocking shark go.

Ball and Devlin off for Rufer and McCowatt
