R25 vs Adelaide United | Fri 30th Mar | 9:50pm | SS3

That makes no sense whatsoever. Advantage in the box? Okay.

Krishna fudged that right up.

Didn't say I agree with it, but that might be the thinking.

Also think out of all the options, Doyle/Galloway are our worst full-back combinations. Neither can defend. Neither can pass. Why are we continuing with them when Cacace performed so well?

Doyle has started well defensively. Made some important headers.

Did you just see him go left when the attacker didn't even make an attempt to fake that he was going the other way? Does it all the time. Still think he's a CB playing at FB.

No, but I did see his diving header in the box when surrounded by red players and his clearing header at the back post, when someone in the middle had failed to track their man.

Fair, no question he's good in the air. Just gives me heart palpations when he's actually trying to play football.

Some more classic Galloway defending and classic Doyle 'hoof the ball anywhere, who gives a shark' play

Do you get it now?

Have never actually seen Galloway defend well. He's going to get sent off.

dbl

Cacace on, swap sides with Doyle? 

Didn't Galloway do quite well for CCM? Or was that more a case of 'not as bad as everyone else'?

Was never good at MV or CCM, which is why the didn't keep him.

But didn't he leave CCM for trials in the Netherlands? Obviously they didn't go too well...

EDIT: Double post

Krishna very off at the moment

start of the season AK would have buried that

Paracki, Sail, Ljujic have been great. Krishna, Galloway, Ridenton and Fox less so

Oil Sail the best GK we have had this season on this showing

Sails been impressing me

Think he actually turned the trial down and didn't even go because he wanted to play under Darije. If I could have warned him, I would...

Lacking movement in the middle and front third... hard to get anything going.

Rather boring tbh

I like him, but he gets lost in the crowd quite often if there's a bit of pressure around him

Problems tonight - 

Full-backs have completed about 2 passes forward

Defensive midfielders keep backing off, allowing long shots. Ridenton pretty culpable.

Lack of shape, especially defensively - often we'll have 2 players marking 1 and no one tracking runners. 

Not much good to talk about yet except for the first couple of minutes where we should've had a pen.

Jinxed it

bugger

Piss poor defending, was always coming though. We've been 2nd best by a long way.

Sub Galloway off please thank you

Have we thought about being not shark? Could be a good tactic.

Wow, that effort of closing down from Burns was fudgeing pathetic

less marking than on a tampered cricket ball

I'm having a hard time figuring out hwat Ljujic is actually bring to the team tonight

Absolonson is a gun. If he was fit for the whole season, he'd be up for player of the year

Lets hope we have not signed Dura for another season based on that defending. 

Great freekick from Ljujic.

This referee is absolutely disgusting. Of course doesn't excuse all our mistakes and we deserve to be down, but I've never liked Green and I never will

He's been shark, but not the reason we're losing. We're losing because we're playing terribly. Krishna shouldn't be putting his hands on him there, that deserves a ban,
