Michael ferrante- 'pure class"

Michael ferrante- 'pure class"

y is this guy still in the starting side??? wtf.... he has been by far the worst player in the team for first few games, tonight he topped of his run of awful performances with his worst yet. yeah he might be lacking confidence so get him off the f**king pitch before he hurts the confidence of the rest of the team, ohh woops he already has.

I thought he played quite well in the first half and overall. He just can't shoot at all. Why the hell do our good chances always fall to him? I could shoot better.

everything in seond half he gave away and missed two easy chances should be dropped looks lost out there

Totally agree, he should have had 2 goals in the bag and had he got even one of his dozen passes on target we may have got 3, Ferrante f**k off!

He needs to drop back away from the goal, he is a decent player and works well but very bad infront of near goal....First chance hit the goalkeeper and when there wasn;t a goal keeper infront of him he sent it up into the crowd.

I wouldve taken ferrante off, kept felipe on and put Old at left back and move lochhead into left mid...

Ferrante couldnt score in a brothel. Paladini in for Ferrante next week.

I think I might have taken off Aloisi. Not saying he played bad, he just didn't stand out as a contributer. I may be wrong as I wasn't really watching him, but didn't see him pop up at all.

Ferrante is the sole reason we lost. When Brown is back he'll be gone.wellyphoenixfan2007-09-09 19:38:38

Ricki wont drop his captain

Have to agree about Farrante--- The way he's been playing the last few weeks it's been like we have been playing a man down and the opposition have been playing a man up .  Johnson was good today and with Brown in for Ferrante our midfield will be class!

I think he was referring to Ferrante not Aloisi whom I referenced

I was referring to Ferrante.

Michael Ferrante is one of the worst players in the A-League. He shouldnt be in the squad, get rid of him.

The worst player in the A-league??? Pull your head in mate. Sure he didn't have a great game but hes not the worst player out of (8 x 23 =) 184 players registered to the squads.

Ferrante reminds me of the type of players we had at the knights-good aspects but overall just not up to it.

I have chnaged my comment DrQuack

This isn't his first game he hasen't done bad in, no wonder Melbourne didn't want him.

Played better than last time - wouldn't write him off yet but shouldn't start next week. 

harsh  mate 

I think people are being a bit hard on him.

Hard yes, not one of the worst playersin the league- but I feel he has performed below average consistently. Decent on the ball in the first half, but as previously mentioned, don't let him near the goal. Dunno, he just really manages to frustrate...

Give him a break. He is getting into goalscoring positions that none of the others are making. He is making opportunities sooner or later one will go in...If you take Ferrante out you won't have a midfielder there for those opportunites. The rest of his game has been better than Aloisi, who looks to be getting a bit old and slow for this level. Maybe the coaches should notice that Ferrante has a knack for being in the right place at the right time to score some goals and work on it. We don't have any other midfielders capable of creating those opportunities that Ferrante is. Why does no one comment on Aloisi?? He has been rubbish by his standards, his game is no better than Ferrante, but no one comments because they are ignorant and only notice goals and missed goals...Analyse a game properly and you will notice Ferrante has been doing well just missing his chances. I'm not saying drop Aloisi because he brings experience to the team but some of you guys should be more objective about your criticism.  

he's not doing well but some of you guys are being waaaay too hard on him

I already have...

Sorry Dr Quack. I did see your comment, just got a bit over excited hahaha.

na he was woeful, wow he got into scoring positions congrats... even if he hit the target and scored a brae his distribution and touch were amatuer at best

i dont understand this ferrante didnt hav a bad game a few of his crosses got blocked and he missed some chances and ppl are calling him worst player in a-league i dont think u no much bwt football u bunch of fukn w**kers

thats 3 shockers in a row...its time to ride the rimu.

Ferrante is trying hard. He puts the effort in and sometimes it doesnt come off. Give the boy a break!

i'll wait until I've seen tonight's replay before sl*gging ferrante off, i'm not convinced that the fever zone has an atmosphere that is conducive to rational thought

Yeah, I'll need to see a replay too. When you lose in a frustrating way like that you immediately blame the easy targets.

well i thought ferrante was ok round the field but his finishing left a lot to be desired . watching the replay b4 he should have scored the 1st chance
