There's a massive whole in the right defense, they are gonna get
massacerd no exceptions if they dont close it, and Ferrante what
the fcuk!!??! he's spoild about 3 goal scorring oppotunities, why
not have Coveny or Aloisi take the free kicks, they got all the
experience and skill in the world!

I wouldn't exactly call it a hole - more a chasm.

he actually cannot place the ball where he intended to.
actually I see better ball handling by Siviatu with a f8kng oval ball.

I was actually going to start a topic "Ferrante is crap". I'd
say raf is better than him-maybe we can do a swap with team wgtn.
The right back was pretty average as well..

Raf is much better. Real good guy as well. He can hit a ball and
distribute well in midfield. Plays for Olympic as well so that
would make 2 Olympic players in Phoenix!!

Sorry guys Ferente made my blood boil against ccm . for a player in
such a controlling position he makes bad choices , sh*t passes ,
PISS POOR wasted free kicks and what is the worst thing is he
making other players push out of shape ( i don't think they trust
him ) bugger it , put him on the bench for now ( he'll get
better -- I'm sure hes trying but NOW is not the time )

Yeah he needs more time on the bench and get up to speed.
You can see hes trying very hard but he has low confidence at the moment and we have a case of downward spiral where everything gets worse for him.

With the way he's playing, it's hard to believe that he's
Kisnorbo's favourite player.

maybe we can get that long haired random from the
photo against melbourne to come and play.

offensively he wasted chances and defensively he left a huge hole
at right hand side, you just can not leave their winger to attack
O'Dor like that!!! Actually I would play Smeltz as attacking
midfielder, he showed excellent vision last night!
Permalink

May just be me but I think he needs an spell on the bench. Very
wasteful with chances and doesn't offer much really!!! Early goals
are a killer and the Phoenix made heaps of chances so not all
despair :)

Like for like swap this week, as Ricki said on ZB, this week he'll
have a full squad to pick from so methinks Ferrante will get some
pine time and Tim Brown will start. He spoke positively about Lia
as well so I think we could see him or Christie slotting into right
back v Jets.
Permalink

And I'd give Coveny a rest, he hasn't impressed me much lately (I
know he's got experience but still). I think Brownlie or Costa
should start in his place. I know Costa's young, but youth
shouldn't be a reason to give someone minimal gametime, I want to
see what he can do at this level.

Ferrante played well at right back against Sydney - I think they
should slot him there and see how he goes - cannot be any worse
than Old or O'Dor so far

Actually just wanted to open a topic about that: as double fix fo Nix

Seeing as ricki's got an open spot why not bring in Raf and see how
he runs in giving ferrante a run for his money.
And what i didnt understand was why they kept him on
freekicks. Get rosco to drill it in low or daniel to put in in
behind.
Not ferrante to take some 3yr's olds out in the
crowd.

Raf was average in the old NSL for the Kingz. The A-League is much high quality and he's now a few years older too so I really can't see him doing that well if he did get given a go.
We don't need another midfielder, we already have Brown and Johnson to come back from injury. Get both of them in the starting line up and get rid of Christie and Ferrante. The extra spot in the line up should be used for a Right back (although I think Old should be given a chance first) or possibly a striker.

I cam on here to rant about Ferrante's ability (or lack of it) in
front of goal. I thought when they went to make a sub that at
last Ferrante is coming off. I was gutted they left him
on. He is sh*te.

Glad I'm not the only one pissed off with Ferrante. Thank god Tim
Browns fit.
Agree with loyalgunner too, swap Covs with Brownlie.

You can't fault the guys comittment and effort.
Pro football however is won on more than just comittment and effort, he has been awful get him off.

hate to do it but..I think ferrante is the worst signing in the
team....he gets alot of the bal but has very poor
distribution......can only decribe him as a talentless hack

At least he seems to try though and gets involved. Sure, he is
probably going to kick the ball into the crowd once he gets it, but
i'd prefer that to Christie who doesn't even get involved and is
almost always anonymous.
Permalink

Ferrante is obviously not a first choice player in the starting 11
& is just filling the spot until a better quality player
becomes fit....I woul drather have christie playin than ferrante
any day...I am sure that with a few more games christie will
improve somewhat...I really cant see this happening with
ferrante
Permalink

Yeah agreed that he isn't a first choice player. As I said above,
Brown or Johnston will be taking his spot once they are fit.

Jesus Christ, it's two bloody games! So far we've only
seen about 15 or 16 of our players play a cometitive match.
Get some perspective. He is not "crap", he did not have a
great game on the weekend but who did? All of this rubbish
about him playing right midfield and drifting inside leaving a
whole at RB is absolute bollocks. He is playing in deep
centre midfield with Ross, not at RM. We are not playing
4-4-2, start opening your eyes.

Flip me!! I agree JD. Lets all just get behind the team. Two games is hardly enough to start getting on the he is crap, he is rubbish tirade/rant. Give him a break!!!

Before the season started it was the Jeremy Christie/Steven Old is
crap brigade. Now everyone is praising Christie and can't
wait for Old to get back in the side. My god people on here
need to get some perspective
And as for the Raf is better than Ferrante rubbish, let's get
it straight. Raf is a great guy and a good Central League
footballer. But he just does not have the quality to play in
the A-League, period. Let's just nip that right in the
bud...cause it just shows how ill informed some people's judgements
are. If anyone is the next cab off the ranks it will be Andy
Barron, who is an All White unlike Raf.
