R16 vs WSW | Sat 13th Jan | 7:35pm | Not Canberra | Kids go free

It's a lot to do with how we come back from 1-0 down though.

Agree with that. Expect to see Burns and Ljujic come on early in the second half for McGlinchey and Rossi.

Um, there was supposed to be an extra minute

The more I see the goal, the worse Italiano looks. He should've saved that.

Krishna having a shocker. Terrible shooting and passing. AK not any better. Bring on Burns and Ljujic.

Said it last week, for a defensive/conservative set up to work, we have to be able to defend competently, it's made even worse when our keepers are a bit dodgy as well. Nothing this season has convinced me that we are anywhere near good enough defensively to be able to rely on it as a backbone for our gameplan. 

Even when we did conjure winning positions v Brisbane, Victory & City we dropped off, got sloppy and ended up dropping points or losing out altogether. The 8 points we've dropped would see us in the 6, so it's infuriating that we just keep going back to it thinking it'll sort itself out. It hasn't, and it won't - not with our current defender stocks.

Second half, bring on Ljujic on for McGlinchey (where's he been?) and Burns for Durante/Rossi (harsh but needs to happen). More intent needed, we're at home the ROF, Fire the fark up! 3 points are badly needed!

Why the f are we playing 5 at the back at home in a league where we cannot get relegated? This coach has no idea

Half time subs are an admission the coach got it wrong surely? 

Burns and Ljujic are on for lil Mac and Rossi

A few points: 

I lasted 4 whole minutes before muting the appalling sky/pine etc commentary

Ref is way too lenient on WSW tackles, they are getting away with murder.

We should have scored first and have been woeful since they scored.

Why the hell Burns isn't there is beyond me

Just did a post, but long story short, we're inept at the art of defending. Why keep to a 5-3-2 formation that has so far ceded possession and opportunities to a side that will eventually punish us more so than what we've seen already?

Completely agree on the commentary

Durante shouldn't be playing in a back 4 imo

The problem is that he is a very mediocre goalkeeper. He makes me nervous every time the ball comes near him, even from a back pass.

Good teams have a goalkeeper that will make the hard look easy; Mambo makes the easy look hard and the hard impo

Some of these attempted balls over the top are making me shake my head 

Fox injured. That's concerning.

Is it just me or is WSW number 15 not wearing any shin pads?

Terry's Dark Chocolate Orange + Stables Ngatawara Reserve Syrah makes losing slightly more tolorable

Man this is hard to watch...

We need to give the ball to Burns.

Subs haven't really made a whole lot of difference.

Ridenton/Paracki look wrecked

Now they know how we feel every fudgeing week

If we swamped keepers with WSW we would be winning 3-0

We created more chances and had more shots in the first half ...

"Welcome to Wellington!"

FUCKING HELL

WELCOME TO WELLINGTON SON

Fudge me what a hit.

Have now!!! What a strike!

Well in boys

And Fred follows it up with - "a dipping volley".  Come on Fred.

What a fudgeing hit

Goal of the Day!!!

What a Shot

Jesus that shot was magnificent - was dead straight

Jesus that shot was magnificent - was dead straight

Fred's an utter idiot. Called it in the Melb Victory game thread, Lujijic or however ya spell it looks utter class

I love this guy already
