I hope Ricki is watching how CCM pass and move. We just pass (to the other team) and stand still.

Yep, thought the same. Did feel that CCM could always step up a gear, where as we were already going full speed

Don't you say this every week ? I'm sure it's you...... Hmmmmmm.......


Same comments appear all the time. I mean, I thought we were doing great against Sydney until they scored 7 goals!

This could blow out towards the end. Some of our guys already look buggered.

I'm trying to find positives but there are very little. Boxall has been better than Sigmund for mine (holds the line), Dura has looked far  improved from previous weeks, Brockie has actually done some work this week, Cernak looks good...

It is pretty dire

Wasn't it 2.5 hours since we scored there about 20 minutes ago?

Sanchez for Fenton I say.

Yes, they just added the time difference for the Kiwi audience

Hogg appears to have completely lost his positional sense? Maybe been getting some tips from Lochhead?

TAB has odds of us at $35 to win - 1-0 with 30:00 left. Crazy. A team should never be that shit to have those odds.

$8.75 before the game started

We simply don't value possession of the ball enough. Mind you as others have said 'we don't have the players able to hold on to the ball at their feet...You can't build pressure on the opposition if you don't hold on to the ball.'

Also, my pet hate is our throw in's, they are a total joke, as we lose the ball off a throw in, in less than 2 seconds after getting it or its thrown in to the opposition wtf...



 

Masters Grade aint no run in the park on a Saturday...

It's like there is no spirit in this team whatsoever. They simply expect to lose.

Gets subbed.

Ricki gives him a high five.

Job done.

We cannot string 3 passes together. It's like watching a pub team. 

Ifill has not touched the ball I don't think? Complete passenger.

3 players unmarked at the back post?? Woeful 'tackle' from Muscat too. The players have given up, Ricki hasn't a clue how to fix it, time to go.
