Phoenix vs Perth - Match Thread

TShat was awful.

MOM Ross just for his comments on Gao.


Real MOM Siggy again. Lets a have a Siggy Tshirt.

Season a right off.

Blimey even Ferrante looked good when he came on.

I just cannot see an answer with this bunch of players and the tactics and the dire level of skill played.

What was it one shot on goal?

Hoof ball - master tactics by Ricky

your not the only one who is going to get sh*t tomorrow.

Man thats total bollocks. Piss off Gao, you're not the sort of player we need in times like this. Daniel to come in for him, Ferrante to be playing and definitely Costa instead of Coveny, even if Costa is a winger he sure seems better than Coveny, Coveny is beyond useless. f**king hell. f**king bloody twat f**king sh*t. argh. it just makes me f**king mad seeing that tripe. we may have had possession but perth just let us have it round the middle knowing full well we'd f**k it up as soon as pressure got put on us in the slightest form.

someone tell me why professional footballers can't get the ball beyond the first defender repeatedly at corners. whats that about.

Find the team that wants to play and win and put them on the park.

If that team includes Plodder, fine. I'm not fussed.

Covs has some heart, but can't cut it any more. Sadly. But also he should NEVER have been our starting striker this year. I remember a thread last year on this. It isn't his fault that he has been left as our best striking option by whoever is supposed to get us quality up front.

Check book Terry. You promised us remember?

Elliot and Brockie. I guess. Who else could we get. Brockie can't be worse than Covs today, and he likes to shoot. Elliot for a guest spot. The midfield got owned out there, which is a pity. Brown had a poor game.

I want 90 minutes of my life back !!!!

Yeah I don't understand the weird sh*theads that live in this country that seem to take such joy in sl*gging off a team from their own city.

Its funny what all those licences can teach you.

why not have a complete switch of players bring on players who havent played for ages cant do much worst than what happeneded tonight

i hope the world recession, has left a few spare dollars in Terry's piggy bank

I thought he and Brown were equally average today. McKain shouldn't have gone down looking for the penalty but got up got the ball and put someone in for the goal. He was part of a midfield that wasn't doing well today.

Maybe we need a decent Marquee player from outside NZ to spark things up........

There was some good service. From Bertos in particular.

Hoof ball to 30 odd year olds, who cannot hold up the ball and with support that takes the best part of a decade to get even close.

We may as well have not turned up today. 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back

Can you have a marquee team?

Huh? Service was awful. Most crosses/ Corners came in a ankle height and we didn't look threatening once

its gotta be :

could be worse I could have been working!

Perth have a strong team. We don't seem to have a balanced squad. Why do we only have one striker? And our attacking midfield are not capable of shooting?

why are we only noticing this now?

No-one has mentioned Hearfield as a player who could come back into the mix ahead of Gao certainly.

Sickie perhaps?

he's short and not a striker?

clearly, possession and football are not the same thing. we can have a good deal of the possession, but still play very little football.

Fred.....

Perth have the 2nd worse squad in the league, with ours being the worst.

man of the match - Ferrantes mo.

we made them look good tonight though. like we did last time they beat us.

Me and better half on first away trip to watch the Nix next weekend in Sydney - fell like tearing the tickets up and staying home after that gutless performance.

Agreed. Good old Fred would put us back on track.

It's all been said, that was terrible and something must be done.

That was pathetic.  Over 70% possession in the first half and not one shot on target. Starting to seriously wonder if Ricki's days might be numbered

We must have been watching a different game pal...Bertos can't cross a ball to save his life the useless f**k.

Hmm - 9 outta 11 games at the back end of the season (after they coincidentally started growing facial hair) and a finals berth.. and then a couple more wins there too. Nobody here would be complaining if the 'nix could manage that.

the only way the next game will have a decent crowd is if they do a season ticket holders get  an extra ticket free.  clark007e2008-11-02 23:31:35

Bertos + Ferrante up front. Definete goal scorers, without a doubt.

There has to be a T-Shirt design there.

Bloody hell did go to the same coaching school as Ricki.

No he is worse. The other one was just horribly fat for a prof footballer.

Thoughts on the team

Paston - Don't know, didn't seem to comand his area today

Gao, Gao, Goooone......
