What did Ross say.

And we need a marque midfielder to create chances for strikers. Pointless getting a marque striker if he is never going to see the ball or get it delivered to him.

Ross said something along the lines of "Gao said he is using Wellington as a stepping stone to get back into Europe. Maybe he should do us all a favour and take that step now" then he mocked his lack of goals and shots on target.

f**king sh*t game. Ferrante is the only one who tried hard. Gao made 1 good effort in the first half but that about it. That said, the speaker's comment that he should make a favor to us in wgtn and leave was uncalled for. Stupid Oz's.
Ricky is to be blamed too. Bertos should have stayed in the changing room after 45'. and Costa should have been played earlier.

Mc Kain, Brown, Paston, Locky, Smeltz should all be ashamed

And that is the worst thing..

Smeltz has gone off the boil since he signed with the Gold Coast. Thinks he is better than the rest of the team and has stopped trying.

What happened to those signings that haven't appeared?

Dadi, Ruukavytsa and Harnwell good up front. Ruukavytsa looked reallly impressive against Sydney last time.

Disagree with that. Consistently the players have not performed this season and they have already admitted that once this year.

sadly if it is true that he has signed, he hasn't scored or looked much like scoring since then.
the team doesn't look good, there is no one with the respect that Ross had getting stuck in on the field. What is Durante doing out there? Brown or McKain?

Dodd for captain.

Absolute garbage there tonight. The team played like they had gotten the bus to Perth!
 
NO imagination up front.
 
Coveny is finished, he is CR@P, simple as that. Give the young guy Cost a start.
 
Gao isn't much better, lazy, greedy, not interested, like having a man short.
 
Bertos was decent at times however his corners were terrible, and he lost possession far too easily for the 2nd goal, which came as a result of another poor corner.
 
Smeltz - anonymous, but then did anyone create any chances for him?
 
Unbelievably frustrating watching the Phoenix at times. I really do wonder what they do in training all week, it can't have anything to do with set pieces, or shooting, that's for sure.

I could run with your horse analogy but I'm too pissed off to try. Ricky in my opinion has been making sh*t squad choices for quite a while now and his use of subs is pretty average as well. Why he persists with Gao who acts like a baby 95% of the time and Coveny who should be in a home is beyond me.

Ricki must take some sort of accountability. Anywhere else in the world and he would've been sacked by now.

In saying that, I don't know who we could get in to replace him.

The manager also has to shoulder the blame, he picks the team, he picks the formation, choses when to sub on players and dictates the tactics (in our case at the moment hoof it up field and hope).
