Apart from Reece, he is the worst defender in the league.

The last 15 minutes we got dominated. That would've brought it down.

Ifill and Muscat looking good. Siggy with some decent runs.

52% at half time
I thought that one would come back to bite me...felt like more though


Channel 9 calls it as 55% - you're in luck, it is getting closer.

Muscat is like a vacuum cleaner. He literally hoovers up any left overs and really does nullify any attacks in front.

Was 55 actually but yeah, much of a muchness. We had a bit more, definitely. They were more dangerous when they had the ball though and that is what matters.

We keep getting into good positions, putting decent/good crosses in and having no one in the box or making any sort of penetrating run

Yeah, the cricket. Siggy is batting at first drop I think.

Hearfield is average.


He's worth a goal a game - to the other side.

Man, so disappointing. One dumb lapse of concentration at the back and we're chasing the game. I don't mind the way we are playing at the moment, lots of good passing and pressure. Just wish we had the ability to attack through the middle more instead of oh-so-slowly sending the ball wide time after time.

story of the season to date

We do have about 7 midfielders in our team so you would expect us to have more possession

Ok you Siggy haters, he may not be having the best game but you're off your head if you think he's one of the worst in the league.

Fuck this stupid game

7 midfielders of which 1-2 are a league standard?

I noticed the Fox stats were quite different than the 9 ones - obviously not using the same person/people.

Yeah just replayed the goal. Hearfield got stuck splitting two men cause Dura had to go out to cover Siggys man and spot while he stood dawdling at the 18y.

Considering that Hearfield didn't really jump, you can't blame him and Dura when they are covering the other two. Had they been there marking their men, there would have been more bodies in the middle.
Yep
north was getting back, but late
siggy...

Thats probably a bit harsh but he is very limited. He is a pure centre back that is good for clearing the ball and thats about it. You don't want him having it at his feet because you can little see his mind processing options then panicing and you don't want him turning and getting in a foot race with a striker.

It's obvious you're not a Siggy fan. I bet you'll be quiet when he finds his usual (good) form.

I not fussed either way on him, however I don't think he is the saviour and as good as everyone thinks he is. I think he gets the leg up because he is that local (NZ) lad that has plenty of endeavour. Kiwis tend to like that sort of thing. When he is in form, as I said earlier, he is effective at clearing the ball.
