R26 vs Melbourne Victory | Sun 8th Apr | 7:00pm | SS1

Burns is the token ball hog in the team who thinks he's better than everyone else. Just fudgeing pass it.

I hope they find the on switch for Burns soon

Doyle makes some terrible defensive decisions sometimes

Fudge that deserved a goal; absolutely brilliant tackle by Cacace again

Surprised to see so much negativity. Reckon we’re doing pretty damn good! Ljujić phenomenal in particular

Hope we're not going to regret some of the missed chances. 

That was a blimmin good first half

Disagree on Ljujic - but it's been the same as the last couple of weeks, creating plenty of chances but we are having a torrid time with our attempts to finished. Really deserve more goals as some of the lead up play has been brilliant. 

Cacace and Singh the stand outs.

would add Sail and Ridenton to that list

Durante is also having a good game.

The 4-4-2 diamond suits Burns and Krishna a lot more. Pretty sure our best games have used this formation. Less defensive duty, playing closer to goal and a bit more centrally. Obviously also helps the overall team out with an extra man in midfield. AK9 is not a good enough number 9 to sacrifice the effectiveness of Burns and Krishna for.

lot of praise for ridenton by commentators

that'd be cos hes had a good season - certainly better than some of our bigger names.

So what is the big difference from last week... Victory down on form?

Singh has settled in after a poorish start. Cacacae looks a starter and should be from game one next year. Krishna looking threatning, just lacking a finish.

The middle seems to be doing alright and finding space.

God, the commentators sounded so disappointed that the Vic didn't score then

Thats one of the more positive halves of football we've played in a few seasons.  Creating chances with passing, not just knocking long and chasing.  

who has weemac come on for? Lujic? 

nope, ridenton?

ah doyle

Doyle went of injured. Ridenton to RB.

The commentators have been very complimentry of us... nice change.

Now's the test of the defense - George is on

"THE BALL HIT YOUR HEAD MATE" Kevin Muscat - 2k18

Cacace is brilliant.

Ridenton loses the ball like that far too often for me.

Cacace is a freak, what the hell. His tackling is insanely good

Imagine if we could put out a consistent defence with Fox and Cacace playing every week.

Also, get Ljujic off; is a lazy bastard.

Luljic getting tired, time for a change.

Ljujic is only there for the Hollywood moments. Doesn't track his runners. Doesn't make an effort to make up for his mistakes. It's bloody frustrating.

chuck rufer on 

Get Rogerson on

Ljujic not up to playing 90mins?

How much game time did he come here on?

We look fatigued.

He's played long enough this season for that not to be an excuse; he's been the same since he got here, quite awkward/lazy defensively and not great positionally, but can pop up with good moments.

Rufer often puts in some terrible tackles after coming off the bench eh

We need to keep the ball better, being a little too direct (looking for the counter) but we have the lead, need to keep it.

story of our season x 2

Defending quite deep, but still feel like we have another break in us

Well that's just about the most penalty of penalty's to ever be a penalty.

ffs

Bit silly, Dura would've got that

Typical Phoenix.

we'll take the spoon now thanks!.

wasted so many chances to go two up, burns and krishna need to answer for that. Fox made an error and its now cost us the game, it could end up costing us 3 points.
