Faaark.... Probably not very objective, but who cares...
Mossy 5 His worst performance of the season/6 two good saves, one blooper at the end when his mind was probably on releasing it as quickly as possible to get it forward again.
Fenton 4 Did improve, but was worse than not having a right back for quite a while/3 Perth enjoyed his passing out of D, a lot of very poor decisions and turnovers all game.
Siggy 7 Good as usual/fair enough
Dura 6 Not much influence/fair enough
Caira 4.5 Is he a defender??/dunno, not sure I watched him closely enough, no obvious bloopers, no significant contribution, but they got in behind him a bit too often.
Lia 5.5 Some bad moments giving ball away, but was getting little support/6.5 one poor turnover otherwise solid effort [Edit: may be being generous with that - and thought he stayed too high when Riera went off and perhaps earlier when Riera needed more help]
Reira 5 Too light weight/6.5 we went to bits after he came off, but he was starting to skate on thin ice [- not sure if he was just asked to do too much with little help or wasn't up to it. Kenny not much of an outlet, nor Caira, and as I said, Lia pretty high]
Ifill 7 Was hungry, hope he's not injured/yep
Stein 6 Lovely goal/7.5 held the ball up well, high work-rate, good goal, filled Carlos' shoes better then Carlos in the last couple of games. Got in place for another couple of shots and distributed pretty well
Kenny 4 I can't think of anything much useful he contributed/3 zero positive contribution, gave away the dumb foul to give them the catch-up goal, momentum and confidence. More and more another import failure for us.
Brockie 6 Nice assist, seemed to disappear late in the game/6.5 some nice stuff, prob not his fault our mids pased the ball away much of the 2nd half. Good assist for Stein's.
Hicks 4.5 Can pass the ball, but that's all/ 4 a lot of poor choices, ineffective shots and turnovers, impatient
Ridenton Didn't see him touch the ball, but I may be mistaken/ 4 was part of the falling apart. Not at all sure what he was sent on to do.
Leo 4 Looked slow and off the pace/ your comment re Ridenton
Oh dear, we were looking good for a while/
comments after the /. I thought they played at around 6.5 and we were worse overall, though we had our patch when we looked like we were going to easily roll over the top.
I thought we totally lost shape with Ifill and Riera off. No-one seemed to drop back to the deep mid role and the combination of the kids coming on without experienced support behind was poor combinations, poor decision making, naeivity and a lot of midfield turnovers. I think Lia stayed high and the lack of an effective screen exposed the back four. Not sure if Ridenton was supposed to do that job, but if so; not.
We were looking good for a while but the subs turned it to a mess. Riera was going to get himself sent off, and it was probably too risky keeping Paul on so can't blame Ernie I suppose. Bummer. Beaten by a poorish team who had six out. [Why Lia did not drop deep with Riera off I don't know.]
