Player ratings v Perf

I thought Fight for Life was last weekend! What a blo*dy scrap.

Warner 3. Paston time

Worst game of football ever. Siggy a 10, everyone else a 1.

I disapprove of tactics and formation, want to rate Ricki 4 tonight. Should have been a straight swap Sanchez in for Brown, 442 diamond, but no... Also ref=w**ker.

Don't agree.

Sanches for Ward the right call.  Quite why Ward got on ahead of Daniel I have no idea.

Pav - one out of ten. Dunno why he got a round of applause when he walked off, his brain explosion is pretty much how he plays - like a blunt instrument.

Lochie should of had a medal for his scrap with Sterjovski. Seemed to neutralise him.

something was wrong with the midfield for sure. Perhaps Daniel and Dani need to be on- though Leo hasn't been the worst.

Bollocks. Sanchez was actually doing something. Brown...?

Lochead - dreadful - esp the passing.

you gave a 6 to lochhead? are you taking the piss?

honestly, it staggers me how different people see games. the entire team were WOEFUL tonight WOE-FUL. i'd give everyone a 2 except for SigmUnd because he stepped up when it mattered and won it for us. it was actually a really good header. the sickest game of football i've ever had the displeasure of watching. FFS.

Yeah thought pav was really good untill his "moment".

Handball looked like a blatant penalty to me (havent seen a replay)

lol?

I don't think Brown has EVER been subbed off. I'm telling ya, it's in his contract!

Interesting call that. Would be interested to find out...

I'd give Manny and Siggy an 8. They both played hard, Siggy's goal, and they both won the ball when we really needed them to.

Dura 6. Solid enough organising the defence, though players were out of position at times.

Ifill 5. As usual trying to spark something.
Lia 5. Was also solid, no stupid yellows

The rest not worth mentioning from that game to be honest.

Ok... Does that inlcude Jets games as well? (Surely you can't have stats for that as well)

He played 10 games for the Jets (6 starts, 4 as sub), but I don't know how often he was subbed off in those games, sorry.

Not good enough Piney, we rely on you for these sort of things!

Warner 4 - looked incredibly shaky
Lochy 5 - defended well, awful on the ball.
Dura 6.5
Siggy 8
Manny 7
Lia 6.5
Brown 6
Ifill 6
Greeny 6
Sanchez 6

this

cannot understand why warner is rated so poorly on these forums. i understand why people have the blinkers for paston, but warner is a good keeper doing a good job. every keeper has his dodgy moments, but warner has comparatively few.reg222011-12-11 11:34:48

Subbed off only once.

DUDE !!!

MARRY ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU THE MAN !!!!!

great minds think alike.

Warner 7 - did nothing wrong, no difficult saves to really make, good take from a corner near the end

Muscat 7 - always pretty reliable, decent game as usual
Durante 7 - see Muscat
SigmUnd 8 - see above, extra point for a cracking goal!
Lochhead 2 - performance summed up by slicing ball out of play under no pressure. Terrible.

Brown 3 - no goal, therefore invisible for entire game other than when making stupid fouls
Lia 5 - can't recall him doing anything of note really, same as usual
Sanchez 6 - tried to make things happen but didn't quite come off for him

Ifill 5 - didn't do a whole lot, one of his poorer games
Bertos 4 - same as usual, runs forward, then passes back, cannot beat players. Extra point for assist, the one cross that was actually decent in the whole game
Greenacre 4 - off the boil, but isolated once again so not entirely his fault

Ricki 3 - boring, boring, boring

I actually didn't think SigmUnd was as good as everyone is saying, apart from that goal of course. There was one instance in the first half where he ran forward a bit, lost the ball to Smeltz, and left a massive hole in defence. Could very easily have been a goal, and he would definitely have been at fault.

Apart from that however, he played well, and of course the goal makes all the difference

possibl;y, even though he shouldn't be! He is supposed to be reasonbly quick, maybe it's an effort or confidence thing?

Last year I was roundly condemned for saying he was lacking commitment, maybe he does lack commitment or maybe father time is catching up. He turns 30 next week and I don't know many people who get faster once they pass 25. Often guile, cunning and ability to read a game make up for a loss of or lack of pace, but to be honest I do not see any of that in Leos game. Sure he often attracts two defenders but when he does but he does not have the pace / confidence to try at least every now and again to take players on.

Daniel was celebrating his birthday at Raf's last night.

Can't be motivated to give ratings - this was the worst game of football I've seen for a long, long time.  Great we got the three points.  Unfortunately, that will deflect attention from the fact the team overall was appalling.  I struggle to see things getting any better so long as Herbert remains coach, with his unimaginative, ultra-conservative tactics and his tendency to build the team around the limited, less talented players.  (Dura was OK on Saturday though)

I think we definitely lack pace on the flanks, an area we have allegedly been very strong in.

I personally think Daniel deserves a place over Leo.
Ward does attack his men, just means he also loses the ball a lot.

It may be time for leo at RB

PlaywithFire, I agree about Daniel and Ward.  How do you think the team should be set out?  I personally think we have the wherewithall to play 4-3-3, especially at home.  I'd like to see the team built around the creative, attacking players - but Ricki seems to want a spine of watercarriers.

I'd put Muscat in the holding midfield role, with Sanchez and Ward as the two attacking midfielders.  We have Daniel, Leo, (and the guy from Adelaide when he's fit) as wingers.  Ifill needs to play centrally, within shooting range, so he'd be my centre forward (one thing Ifill is not, is a winger).  This line-up has loads of goal-scoring options.  You can bring Brown off the bench if you want to defend a lead or play 4-2-3-1.

Completely forgot him - I guess that shows he was fairly invisible (bar the pinpoint corner).
