gonna be an interesting game. Im sure we'll come away with the result thought. I do like what ricki is saying about how he will "tinker" with the attacking players. we defintly need to score some goals so with the likes of daniel and costa coming of the bench Im sure it will bring alot more spark (perhaps more than the second half of last week) in the second half.
 
GO THE NIX!

There's a lot of words here, so I'll only say two things.

1 - GO COSTA! About time.

2 - Where's our Mossy gone? Prefer him to Paston. Club legend, put him on the pitch! I will have no debate about the merit of this, everyone loves Moss.

Also I prefer Ferrante to McKain. But that's three things.

Agree with number 1, mostly agree with number two but Paston hasnt put a foot wrong yet, so he has to be rewarded a bit. I pregfer McKain to Ferrante in midfield so thats that.

Daniel has to stop doing crappy little back flicks that go to no one before he can get back into the first team imo
 
Yep, agree with that. Sometimes Daniel displays more style than substance.
 
Felipe was the same last season.
 
I'll take attack and smash over flick and flash anyday.

Trouble is attack and smash has only given us 5 goals this season(plus 3 penalties) Last season we scored heaps more and in the thick of it all were Daniel and Felipe. We have the worst shot on goal record in the A-League.
 We need to use our flair players to create more. Daniel was near the top of the table last year for assists......Its vital we get him back in that form again. Ok sometimes his flashy play does not come off, but he just needs to spark that little opening and the chances will come. Smeltz can't do it all by himself...the last few weeks he has been getting terrible service!!!!!

Unfortunately I don't think they give a sh*t about us. In theory it would benefit the Nix to have games on Sunday earlier but that doesn't suit TV audiences in Australia.

Fine day over here temp of 26 by kick off it should be a cool 20 to 22 with a possible sea breeze.
Great conditions for football.
Coveny will score today and we will win.
Looking forward to this one as I'm going to be sitting with the glory supporters with my PHOENIX SHIRT ON.
GO PHOENIX GO.

No offense, but I think its more important for it to be suitable for the home fans. I wouldnt want to be watching football in the warmest part of the day in Perth if I could avoid it.

Though most of the youth groups are finished by then so it leaves that demographic free to follow the 'Nix..

this is an odd match thread. the Costa/Auskiwi/log occasionally match thread...

This surely is a must win for us against a revitalised Glory- Dadi, Amaral and Harnwell at home...

Its not great but it could be worse. I thought the time difference was 5 hours so it would be at 11pm. It'll be worth it though, after the Nix hammer them.
