Pretty hard to do this, trying to give objective ratings while it all feels like shit, but here goes....
Vinnie 5 Worked his arse off, lost possession twice, two good shots
I am gobsmacked by this, what game did you watch? Do you know which player Vinnie Lia is? Lost Possesion Twice? I watched him for most of the game and it was a hell of a lot higher than that, in the double figures (if I go by the number of text I sent each time he lost the ball). You do realise when a player passes does pass to no one or to the opposition it is also considered losing possession? Vinnie Lia's ball retention is one of the biggest problems we have at the moment, the guys ball skill isn't up to the level needed especially if we are wanting to play are more attractive style of play.
Me and a number of friends watched him specifically in this game as we have been moaning about this for a while. Yes he makes a number of tackles each game and does win possesion back now and again (no whjere near as many times as he loses it though) but soon as he gets the ball at his feet he is a massive liability.
Im starting to think that maybe you are Vinnie Lia himself, you do realise you rated him as the second best player on the park for the Phoenix? Thank god Ricki Herbert for once noticed how terrible he was playing and subbed him off.
I will remind you he has 123 appearances for the Phoenix and in total that has produced 2 goals and 7 assists.
