Phoenix vs Fury 17/10/09 Match Thread

Awsome, would be great if he could retain a starting place, he must be thrilled to play alongside fowler

Hope Brockie plays horrible but manages to stay in the team and has a blinder next week.

Thanks.

May be out tomorrow night but will hopefully make it back in time.

Evertone should check out the odds on this game. Phoenix paying 3.20. draw 3.00 NQF 2.30

Our bench has been very attacking the last few weeks and it hasn't exactly helped.

Why is Ferrante persisted with? I would rather have Mulligan than him. At least its home grown lack of performance. Ferrante had that horrific game against Melbourne last year, and hasn't shown that much since.

Don't think Costa has done too much wrong so he is unlucky. It's a shame our search for some drive in the midfield has not worked so far.

Caceres would be there but is injured. Surely Marco is a better impact player than Ferrante, if Costa is not going to be considered? I guess Hearfield is the sleeper there. If Manny is on the bench he will come on and Hearfield may be pushed forward for bertos or Daniel...providing he's fit enough..

At the moment our attacking plan seems to be to pass it to Ifill, like a tactic with Jonah Lomu. hope to see some cohesion and a swag this game!

Apparently Robbie Middleby is out for tonight also, they havent been able to get any injury replacements from overseas  for this week, maybe hey will for next week, so defensively they are at a real low, and if we cant get a result tonight, well....

would love to see Brockie have a blinder off the bench and skin Ferrante numerous times. But just create loads of chances that everyone else screws up. And if he comes off the bench then he can still show some impact.

+1

Who were the 5+ lads dressed up as Phoenix players at the end of term tea party (at UC) yesterday? Big ups. It was one hell of a morning/afternoon!

Not me.  Bugger $30 to see crap bands when you're still half asleep.

Surely we can score some goals (plural) here!!!!

did they just say brockie is staring for NQ?

Just saw the line up on 'Matchday saturday'

Only change to the squad is Hearfield for Muscat. Chen on the bench and Brockie looks to be starting.

What was the team? I just missed it on Sky Sport just now but I did hear Hearfield at right back!! Not too sure about that one I have to say.

I would love to see Ferrante skin Brockie and create numerous chances which are finished... Oh wait! This is yellow fever - I forgot. We don't support our players!

haha big ups on the tea party comment, loyalgunner. I didn't even know it was on. i spend too much time in the library (or not enough looking at my marks)

its cause Ferrante sucks

can anyone shed any light on why the fury are ahead of phoenix in the odds? is it purely due to us not being able to finish our chances this year?

It doesn't change the fact that saying you want him to get out-played is ridiculous. I don't rate No one rates Mulligan but when he steps onto the field in a Wellington Phoenix uniform I want him to carve sh*t up.

What is with Sky? Are they showing the Nix or staying with the CCM game? Kicks off at 10 doesn't it??

10:30 game LG

10:30 i think

10.30pm on SS1, live.

Double snap

Cheers guys, have popcorn at the ready!

Four Kings had a sign outside advertising it as 11pm...

This feels like kick and giggle compared to last weekend.

Right ladies, this is a big one.  I'm 'working' at the moment and will miss the first half so if anyone could keep me up to date on how we're doing it'd be more than appreciated.

Cmon boys! Lets knock them out?

GOOOO the Nix, big game this

Wait wtf just happened?
