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

The difference is that this Phoenix side is capable of decent football. The Knights were completely inferior, even against the CCMs and Perths.

Not even close. A fully fit Phoenix would crucify the Knights. 

Yep, Knights were a lot worse than this. Actually, it was basically this performance. minus any attacking verve, and over the course of a whole season. the Nix are frustrating because we SHOULD be better. The Knights were frustrating because you knew they'd never be.

having talent has never been our issue, utilising it consitantly has and is our problem.

Thought Ridenton was our best that half

Problem is we cant get out - wee mac and parkhouse offereing nothing.

Burns needs someone to pass off

as seems to be the case - parky being played on the wrong side.

Weemac, right footed, playing on the left

Parkhouse, left footed, playing on the right 

Something doesn’t seem right here

Looking at the replay, I think Rossi has made room for Italiano coming out, but Italiano was never going to get there.  I wonder if Italiano called for it, or if Rossi has just misread what Italiano was up to (I still don't know what that was by the way - if anyone could tell me that would be great.).  Rossi 100% should have dealt with it though, but once he didn't Italiano was nowhere.

I think it was a case of neither of them calling!

Dura once again playing way too high, dragging Rossi up with him, Rossi moved out of the way to allow Italiano to collect ball which he didnt. If one of them had said anything they might have stopped Brosque

2nd goal was just dura tackling Paracki and not controlling the ball.

Can I have some suggestions for what to do if we win this by some miracle?

I'm not sure what's worse at the moment, Italiano pretending to be a goal keeper or our performance tonight. 

streak across town!

Get drunk. 

Incorrect

Rossi/Italiano cock up the sort that can and does happen at all levels. Certainly wouldn’t crucify Italiano for this or the one last week. His problem s that three of these have come in short order whereas other keepers have them more evenly spread.

Not saying he’s a brilliant keeper but no way does he deserve the crap that some of you lot are heaping on him.

You got the streak bit right

fake news!!!

shark game so far but that was a good save by Italiano

COYN

Get drunk while streaking across town?

Buy a Lotto ticket

even the aussies dont underdtsand why parky is on the right wing.

I love that everything that's been suggested is illegal for me

Italiano has not been our problem tonight, we are supposed to have some sort of defence in front of him.

or lack thereof!

it stuns me that Ljujic is defending more often than any of the payers further back than he is meant to be.

keep us updated. Heading home rather than watching the second half.  So frustrating to not have Krishna. 

Ridenton subbed! Cacace on!

Doubt you will see him in a nix shirt again unfortunately. Off to the Jets

bollocks!

Window is closed

Unfortunately its not, will come out in due course i'm sure

xfr window closed yesterday any announcement would have been made. Move on! where's ya proof?

Next season sorry. But doubt he will feature again 

still no proof?

Who is this young guy and why does he play for such a shark team like ours..

i'll just say I told you so when it happens for next year...

Cacace,  came from Island Bay United, playing for the academy

I'll not hold my breath
