With no hemed or piscopo would like to see this line up. Be interesting to see how McGarry does in a more advanced role and get rid of sotirio.

Pretty narrow line up no? Payne is not the answer at RB IMO as his crossing is woeful. Worse than Fenton. Don’t have much option atm though

Paynes crossing is so much better than Fentons? He actually gets power behind the ball. Start of this season his crossing was definitely off but we saw last season that he can ping a ball in

He did until covid, since then his crossing is horrific. He was a complete waste at RB and I’m glad he’s finding form at CB because I do rate him as a player. I don’t know what went wrong, but seemed to lose all that directness and ability he had at the start of last season. 

Anyway, fire up!

What's with this continuation of this red s***

Banzai!...AIEEE!!!

What's with this continuation of this red s***

 We have a pretty good record in red I think?

Glory clearly the better side, lets hope Davila try's another chips at goal.

Def not a pen

That doesn't make great reading: 6 most recent games in Perth, 6 losses, 19 goals conceded.

Glory trying to milk a pen

handball pen

I mean Fenton is falling. How can he be in control of his arms? 

Phew!

Oh that's a sensible decision. Are we watching the A league?? 

Finally proper use of the handball rule 

Ball could've done a lot better with that space in the box.

Honestly I wouldn't have argued that as the arms were pretty far up. 

What was the one that went against us, where a defender wouldn't intentionally hand ball one that was being cleared? 

So seems like consistency at least.

 I think was at this venue, not including all matches in Perth.

Ball could've done a lot better with that space in the box.

 Agreed. I thought he was going to square it for Davila 

VAR finally makes a call that makes sense, thing Glory look average on attack at the moment, we havent done anything great yet either but it will come.

Glory just to good, caving us apart at the back,

Sail in beast mode

VAR told the ref to look at it. 

Ref gets the credit because he would be going over with the bias of knowing VAR reckoned it was worth checking. 

Lucky escape for us 

Royz

would help if Sotirio would stop losing the ball in the centre of the field.

True, ref made the right call to stick with his initial decision, although I think VAR was not only asking the ref to look at the tackle but also the potential for handball,

Damn so close

They are moving better than us without the ball and finding good position in between the lines. We don't seem to have many outlets when we have possession 

lovely little break down the left, just a pity that Ball looked for Sotirio instead f shooting

Love it when the microphone is near Ufuk - has some colourful language. Fuk clearly wasn't a swear word in his home.

Ball not having his best game so far 

Why are we sitting deep playing in our half?

Second ball Devlin loses tonight. Seems nervous when with his back to the goal 

WOEFUL! giving the ball away so easy

Payne at CB reminds me a bit of Sigmund.

Nice cross Sotteario

Great transition and unlucky Josh 

Nice movement, nice effort by Sotirio.

reckon I've seen more footy than you've had hot breakfasts

Siggy was a great player, he was good at what he did, and that was defend. He was not as versatile as payne nor as good with the  all at his feet.
