Match 14 vs Macarthur | Sun 28th Mar | 6:05pm | SS7

Hmm, well that's not we needed 😖

Outpost

Taylor paying the price for his 90 minutes last match straight out of quarantine?

 I wonder what he's managed to do to his leg? Just a pull maybe?

He's come off as a precaution. Seems like he's hurt his leg in training and after a bit of running Uffie decided "nah"

God fudge those cow bells. What an awful idea...

Very poor from Hemed

As are the drums. I don't mind them in small doses but for 90 minutes straight it is painful. 

Lewis not making the in roads we have been getting from Piscopo

 I'll be honest I quite like the drums. Keeps the atmosphere going. The cowbells are just offensive to the ears.

Ball is our targetman

He's such a frustrating player to watch. If he scores a goal that helps us get a result, great, but there are going to be a lot of heavy touches and poor passes in the meantime.

Well worked move there on a well composed build up. Lewis needed to at least get that on target. 

She's a tight game at the moment though...

Lewis out wide  beats two players but turns back cos he lacks pace. 
Lewis centrally works some great interplay and makes a shooting chance.

I miss the weeks they put the microphone right next to Ufuk. 

A lot of really bad ball control from both teams.

Both teams playing poorly, making unnecessary errors.

Derbyshire has a cry gets a foul. Then is all over Payne in the box. Ref a prick and we are throwing in stupid challenges as a result.

A card for that!? Totally absurd.

seemed like a fair card. Just the lead up was dodgy. 
We are missing Piscopo big time. Hemed a bit MIA. But that's how he's been- there to finish, but not so much in the build up.

Rufer, 4 passes forward and all went to the opposition, 20 passes backwards. Slow in getting back. Thank God Devlin has a bit of speed. Not the easiest game to watch from either side. Ufuk not impressed either. 

So frustrating when Fenton always passes backwards

 He needs to back himself and take them on.

I would bring on Sotirio for Rufer tbh. And push Lewis deep and Sotirio as LM. Franjic is staying up most of the time, so we can exploit the gap on the left. Jovanovic doesn't seem like a pacey guy as well.

Underwhelming half of football. Really missing Piscopo and the X-factor he gives us. First 20 minutes was good from us, worked the ball well, pressed them well, but both teams have gone well off the boil since then. Macarthur have offered two fifths of piss all going forward, so we can be relatively happy with keeping them very quiet.

0-0 at halftime, but it looks like it may take only one goal to settle this game. Need to up the tempo significantly in this second half if we're to come away with the three points. 

Stat attack - Last time we had a 0-0 result was backend of 2019 against the Victory (31 games ago).

Rufer did a really good longish pass forward through to Davila in a dangerous position who lost the ball.

She's a very tight affair. Huge contrast to say that WSW game that was all action.
Find it strange that McGing has gone from starting CB, to not even on the bench last 2 games.

Told u all it would be a boring/ugly game of football, we just need that spark up front.

I assumed that was in until Sail's big paw saved the day.

Wtf my football 

Ignoring the offside, we shoulda scored there

 yeah I had to switch to a stream

Good grief Davilla is miles ahead in terms of being fouled!

 Piscopo and Taylor imo 

Is Hamed good? I don’t think he’s good.

Lokolingoy has looked sharp when he's been on. He pressures defenders well. Keen to see him have a crack.

I'm getting really annoyed with Rufer and his crap forward passing 😖 also that set piece earlier - don't piss around with it from there and get all fancy lt's a tight game - get it the box!

Would've been funny if Rufer had scored then it was called back for offside.
