Nix vs Sydney Sunday 9 Dec 4:30 + Tee Dubs vs Otago 1:45

Make them all, including Ricki, watch the video of the last 3 home games back to back without a break

Have to laugh at theTotori hate yet again am sure some of you are blind.At least when he came on and was given the ball he attempted to do something with it,couldnt really give a shit about his defending it not what i really want to see him doing.Ifil lost the ball shitloads but seems to escape much comment.If he continues on like this then an import spot is wasted on him.Mind you given Welnix dont seem to want to bring in players to improve the team we wouldnt have much use for it anyway.

Sanchez for Lia is probably the answer to our midfield?? 

 Seemed to be alot of finger pointing going on between the players throughout the game, so not happy campers.

Sidenote - Were there a few more foul throws than usual, or like ever?

sydney did what their coach told them too

with bonus timewasting (aided by the gutless ref,

who was also too lacking in authority to get a wall back 10 yards)

Absolute and utter garbage, which is what we've seen for 90% of this season so far.

Ricki is so comfortable in his position Welnix may as well get him a Lazyboy chair to watch the game from.

Utter lack of creativity, we created approximately ZERO clear cut chances, and I can recall their keeper making one save - a long range effort from Lia, which should've actually been a pass to Huysegems since Lia was never going to score.

I think we can safely say (and I'm talking to you Ifill) that the weather is NOT to blame, and the utterly boring fare on offer IS.

Tactics appear to be as follows: pass it around the back 4 and keeper, and when that becomes a bit boring, HOOOOOF it up the park and hope for the best.  Oh and if ever you are on the wing, cross the ball into the box regardless of anyone is there or not (probably not).

Ifill has lost it completely and needs to be dropped.  Brockie is far too lazy and casual.  We do not get Huysegems into good positions and give him the ball despite him proving he'll finish chances.  We should've started Totori or brought him on earlier, at least he is direct and tries to pick out players when he puts a cross in.

Lia, Smith, and Muscat = the most boring and uncreative midfield ever known in world football.

All in all, utter crap and I cannot see a single point being gained from Adelaide or CCM games.

Change is needed and IMO it starts with Ricki.  He's done.

Team at full strength against a side that's been floundering on the bottom of the league. A home game, opposing team sans their star players, decent weather for once, better crowd turn-out... and nothing from the Phoenix. Who among them actually turned out to play? That was just a passive and uncreative a performance from a group of players who should be worth more. No energy and no ideas. Surely Ricki can get more from them than that.

I can enjoy a Phoenix game even when they get thumped but that just wasn't enjoyable to watch. More performances like that and the club will bleed attendees. No-one wants to see that.

Also to whoever it was, if you're going to throw a plastic Speights bottle in a justified rage can you put the cap on it first? Ta.

It's the problem with making your entire target market, families. They've requested a lot of Sunday games to cater for them. The problem is, if its a bit windy or cold - they won't turn up, if there is another event that is free like the Santa parade etc they're hardly going to shell out $60 + for the Phoenix. 

What you need to cater for are those who have the money and want to spend it going on a night out. This generally means a Friday or Saturday night. If you look at the first game of the season, we got 12k. It'll be interesting to see what the crowd is on Saturday the 22nd. 

When these families don't turn up, welnix then threatens US saying they're going to take games away. Perhaps they need to look in the mirror first, and ask themselves if the strategies they have in place are actually working or not.

I just want to congratulate the fever today for what was a top atmosphere in the fever zone in the first half.
It makes such a difference to the game day experience for everyone. 
Lets keep it up, I want to see huge crowds back at the tin and I believe the more noise in the fever zone the more likely people will want to keep coming back. Its add to the whole 'game day experience'

So, do we sign santa? or have a parade each week at the stadium
