R2 vs Perth Glory | Sun 16 Oct | 9:00pm | SS2

Lia giving plenty of ammo to his critics there.

Lia with a bit of afters there... Wouldn't be surprised if the FFA ping us for that after the match. 

They both dived in.  He was trying to kick the ball when he got the guy in the head.  Agree that he could have gone, just don't think it was 'dirty'.

he went for it as the player fell backwards... nothing in it

Pratt does not look like a RB.

Well reffed

Tratt was high

Roly and Lia were the two who got skinned

Lia as agricultural as ever!

Lia, jesus

Lia is getting absolutely destroyed. Even Marc Warren is making him look like a bit of a mug.

He's got a lot to cover with two novice full-backs. He is not good enough to do it.

high tempo...

The one thing that does bother me is that everytime I look at the screen, I see a striker to the right of sharkhouse. To me, thats poor positioning and explains why that side of the field is getting a workout.

I'd be surprised if Lia doesn't get sent off. Has tried to kill several players, including Finkler

Little Irish diver!

same old "aussies"

Dive Dive Dive

Keogh you dirty diving cod.

Now Lia has to be careful. Thats a dumb yellow considering the way he is playing.

And then he gets a yellow the one time he didn't deserve it

more a referee being conned and no support..play the new ref  for what u can get I think.

Lia has to come off at the half

There is 0 chance Lia survives this game without a 2nd yellow. He's about 3 steps behind play every time he tries to tackle.

and anyone's surprised?

Rossi all class

From about the 25min mark we have fallen asleep.

Is Rolly playing... awol largely

Bonevacia has to get more involved!

Rossi is a Rolls Royce

Well played lia

Think Gui had a pop there

Set piece expert Finkler has been pretty poor

His corner are still better than McG's

FFS ,were you expecting him to score with every free kick in his one and a half games?

Our FBs getting forward a fair bit

CBs generally covering comfortably, Lia not so much

Wonder if Ernie feels confident enough in Rufer to bring him on in a tight game

No, he's had about 5, 6? set pieces, and none of them really threatened except maybe the one that went to the back post that Keogh had to head out.

He's just been a bit flat.

Pretty good - very even. Not really sure of Roly's role, as good as he is. Kosta and Krishna's pace up front is nice.

Lia! Jesus.
Rufer or A-Rod to replace him at half time?

Goalless at half time, we haven't offered much after the first 15 or so minutes. There's been a few moments Perth have been in behind, we're arguably lucky not to be one down. Hopefully we can have a smash and grab for 3 points in the second half. 

Our dead ball set pieces and corners  have vastly improved since last season give it time !

Lia is lucky to be on the pitch. Just a thug.
