R19 v Sydney FC | Fri 2nd Feb | 9.45pm | SS3 | #Dura279

I think when your two defenders tackle each other and then the opposition score it's fair to say that was terrible defence... 

Well said, all 7 times it was posted

"I think the Phoenix miss Krishna, he gives them the speed and creativity, he's the one that hurts"

Best comment from an Aussie commentator?

our defence has been woeful for a number of years now - this largely sits with the fact it has been led by an aging CB that is clearly past his best.

If we hit 'Forfeit Match' now it'll only be 3-0

These defensive howlers are really confidence destroyer, we actually started the game really well...before we concede.

He actually has quite a good left foot cross. Makes no fudgeing sense.

Really losing faith in Darije

Sydney aren't even playing well. We're just playing poorly

I would be perfectly okay if Parkhouse never saw the field again

Good save Italiano one on one.

This forum doesn't have guards to stop you from duplicate posting like every other forum on the internet

Hey look everyone, Italiano did something right

I’m a regular reader but rarely post on here. However I feel compelled to comment:

- Parkhouse is just simply not good enough to play in this league. He would be a dream to defend against. Offers nothing on attack.

- Velaphi must start next week.

- Fox and Durante are clearly our two best centre-backs.

- Krishna is clearly our key player by a country mile. Re-sign him asap please. Without him and Kaludjerovic we look well short of goals.

- Wtf has happened to McGlinchey?

- Ridenton is not the problem. 

Anyway I guess this match was a write-off so hopefully with a couple of changes we can still push for the playoffs from next week. 

That's a rough yellow.

fixed

I never saw the Knights, but I'm guessing this is worse than anything they put up.

Pretty much spot on. Only the last point i'd slightly disagree with. Ridenton is not the problem now but he offers little. He isn't the problem tonight but he isn't the answer. The rest 100% agree.

Typical 

#Ruff decision on #23 - but on we go collecting #Metrics 

Nope.  Amazingly they were in fact worse than this.  Much worse.  I know it doesn't seem possible, but they were.

Agreed except playoff hopes are gone

Durante/Italiano comedy show continues....

Omfg

Durante has been part of the problem in both goals, he has also largely at fault for last weeks goal - I hope like hell he retires end of this season.

Dura what are you doing? That was dumb.

That would've been one of the worst own goals ever

wtf is WeeMac doing, get the ball in

Dura also has an issue where he makes a mistake and immediately blames eveyrone else

Rossi can fudge off

Can fox breathe some new life into the team?

We may as well just give up on defending.  Italiano is gonna have more one on one's than we have points this season if it keeps up.

Ouch Rossi subbed early again

should have been dura!

Most interesting thing I've seen this game is that McDonalds in Aus are selling McFlurries for $2

Dylan Fox already showing that he's our best CB; if only he wasn't injured so much

Men against boys.

pretty sure that is the worst half of football I've seen from our boys.

The Knights finished bottom with ONE win. I think we can assume the current Nix are better
