Winton, Rory, Boyd. Hmmm!

Was good to see Boyd take the ball to his left and shoot as he has been criticised for being one footed.

Also, his second finish was also taken really well from distance with an on rushing goal keeper and defence flooding back. Looking forward to him starting in the next game.

fudge yessss! Worth streaming on my phone great game.

I bet it was. How did you get that to work in the end? Curious because I am occasionally in circumstances where that would be amazingly useful.

Edit: Also WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! what an awesome win! Such a good result. Would've settled for the draw before the game happily, extremely valuable 3 points, practically 6.

Nonsense Post. 

Not sure why some "fans" think it's all cool to unmercisly slag off whatever player supposedly has had a poor game.

Poor Game? Really? Have you not watched him at all this season? Or last? I wouldn't slag him off for one poor game. Riera has had a few bad games this season, yet i don't "Slag" him off because other than the odd game, he's consistently one of our best.

Maybe i'm being harsh again. But what would i know? I say Brockie's been poor for the last 3 seasons, and Boyd is one of our best talents that should be playing over him at every opportunity. And that Lia hasn't proven to anyone why he should be in the team. 

But then i get 'Slagged off' for making constructive comments like that, and now this. Wrapping up the players in cotton wool doesn't help either you know. Boyds had what, maybe 25 minutes of action this season. Two goals and a Assist. Nah lets play Brockie again on sunday.

Do you all think the starting lineup and formation was right? We were slaughtered in the first half. 

Apparently giving the ball away in the worst areas possible is okay then. Over and over. Awkward.

Really im guessing you and your this's think Lia has been okay the last 2 games.Guess its a case of all of us seeing a game differently.Because all i and MANY others have seen is crap.All respect to Ernie but he really needs to get whatever Lia has on him back.

Maybe just sit down in a nice comfy chair, sink a cold beer, think about what we did tonight and let the whole Lia thing go. Trust me, you will feel a lot better!

Suck on that Adelaide.....suck on that big time!!!!

What a thriller. We have suffered so much in that stadium so 3-1 feels real real good at this moment. I hate Adelaide...hacking dirty C**Ts

a-league refs are mostly shiite

Can someone please explain to me why Boyd has had only one game this season? Can someone also explain why Boyd has rarely made the bench this season? He should be first attacking option off the bench when we need something extra. Boyd >>> Brockie or Cunningham

Those two goals were taken with cool aplomb...especially from such a young player. There have been rumblings that all is not 100% between the Boyd camp and the Nix. Hope its all sorted because we need youngsters like that.

btw, in the hysteria I couldn't see who it was that was lying on the ground yet somehow managed to scoop that final pass to Boyd for the third goal. Anybody can enlighten me? He deserves a medal whoever it was.

Second goal was a left footed shot too yeh?

Nice for Boyd- as Galekovic put the brakes on his career by saving a hard-won and fairly well taken pen with an amazing save at Hindmarsh a couple of years back.

So when the game was in the balance at 1-1 in Adelaide he could come on with some pent up aggresion and something to prove, without the opposition knowing much about him?

Ya dancer! Being joint 2nd top should pull in a few extra punters to the big game against Brisbane on Sunday.

Yep, sorry my mistake.  Boxall has been given the assist on the match stats.

Ernie trusts Lia. Ernie has the team to 3rd. Brockies last game. Time to just trust Ernie's decisions. He's earnt it.

how enjoyable was that?

who says football is boring?

ref should definitely have got into the cards more in the first half.

Adelaide were pretty ordinary

Sigmund and durante were exceptional

Agree, the game was absolute awesomeness from start to finish.

My thoughts:

1) Hugely entertaining game, who needs EPL...

2) Ref was inconsistent and just rubbish

3) I've wondered for a long time now why Boyd hasn't had more game time. Tonight he showed his class.

If you would've put Brockie into Boyds position it probably would've ended 1:1. Boyd has a certain spark to his attacking game and good technique/composure

4) Someone please tell Fenton to leave his hands off the opposition player... 

5) For some reason we start giving away possession far too easily after we score. Need to keep calm more

6) Commentators were awesome "Tim Tam biscuits..." LOL

Thanks to Earnie for turning this team around, great fun to watch!

Although I think we're another 2 quality players short of being genuine title contenders. Another good midfielder and fullback perhaps.

But you never know, we're looking great atm. Even with our top 2 strikers missing we can go to Coopers Stadium and get a win.

Last few years that would've been impossible

Even without spearheads Nathan Burns and, goals weren't hard to come by for the visitors. The Phoenix got on the scoreboard for the ninth successive match - a new club record.

After just taking an interest in the A league here in England and supporting the phoenix. First impressions are that sigmund and durante were solid as a rock. And tyler boyd surely must start against brisbane. Thoroughly enjoyed the game. Cant wait for sundays game.

Stand outs for me so far this season:

  • Moss - has kept us in games so many times
  • Dura and Siggie - immense this season. Siggie in particular but they are in tune.
  • Roly Bonavacia - the find of the season for us and possibly the league
  • Krishna - he has come on well in the off-season
  • Ernie - only one game this season where his tactics did not seem to work.  He has the squad he wanted and has been given the freedom and cash to recruit.

Blatant handball by Boyd for the 2nd goal but wow he went past the defender and whacked it in Burnsesque fashion. In fact, are we sure that wasn't Burns with a Boyd mask on? Just keep it up lads!

Wait, Burns doesn't make the list? Really?

So good how the bench strikers stepped up. Our position in the league will be great for Burns in the Aussie camp in banter. Roly is too good for words. The passion the whole team played with in that match was huge though. Obviously defended amazingly and in midfield we were diving in for everything, really playing as a team.

Was definitely a handball, how intentional we could argue for pages about. My first thought was wow, amazing how well he chested that directly to his feet like that, legend... then saw the replay and not so much.
