Got to get McGlinchey into this game and that probably means taking Muscat off !
The answer to life's problems are rarely found at the bottom of a beer glass - but it's always worth a look.
certainly not out of this.
There are any number of players out on the park who can create a bit of magic. Our discpline for the first 30 was fantastic and we just shut them down. They couldn't play and were so frustrated. We were the better team.
I'm sick of losing versing Victory at Victory. I demand a victory.
Ernie running scared and not playing Doyle + playing a hacker like Lia does not send a message that we've gone to win the game.

I know, I know, its serious!

Are you watching a different game mate? Thought at best it was even ; they looked the more threatening. Certainly we are still in it, but we would not be if they had their full team.

What? Brockie for Rodriguez????????????????
What the fuck?
Grumpy old bastard alert
I think the consensus on Lia of late is that he's a better player than he's been given credit by the scapegoat tag, when he's had the freedom to play a different role in the midfield.
I think we have done ok. We looked a good organised side, a bit unlucky to be down really.
Plenty of hope for the future whatever happens tonight., we are trying to play it around on the deck and doing well for the most part.
Brockie.......We're fucked. It was nice while it lasted. Good night sweet nix.

For that 20 minute period
Ernie has lost his marbles ; what has Lia done to deserve staying on over Rod?

injury?
On the positive side we are usually about 3-0 down to MV by now.
Glass half full. That's the stuff. Haha.
I don't think we're out of the game. Just need to not suck.
Roly's crisp pinpoint pass at the end there nearly had us equal. If only Burns could put away 1v1's he'd have another 3 or so goals to his name.
Muscat and Fenton have both been poor, I get the thinking behind playing them both but it's been a fail.
As for Lia, slow as a wet week - just gives away fouls and the ball. It was his lazy foul that ultimately cost us a goal.
Shake it up Ernie.
yeah I thought we've been pretty good. Some really nice, quick passing.

I can see his reasoning. Problem is MV are simply a better team than us, whatever eleven we field and whatever gameplan Ernie uses.
I know, I know, its serious!
We need a goal we should bring on a forward - but instead we have Brockie!
LOL he will probably go and get a winning brace now to prove me wrong
If you look at the average position for the first half at A-League.com it seems clear that we were playing a 4-2-2-2.
the player Louis is marking looks very good player I don't think he would be the only one to struggle against such a good ball player.
don't get why A-rod was dragged.
I think he is hoping to let Roly sit deeper to the position he has been the last 3 weeks and push Lia into Rodriguez'. Thats the only think I can think of. I also think Brockie will chase a bit better up front. A few have mentioned it in the comments thus far. Just not sure he was the guy to bring off when I thought he was one of our better ones unless he has a knock.

You can tell already that McGlinchey is going to play more centrally in this half.

He's a bloody good ball player, mate. My inspiration for tonight.

Fuck and we have to give up a dumb yellow for that stupid pass. Thats a team yellow that one.

Why the fuck are fox wasting everyones time talking to Greenacre etc? You know the answer will be bullshit.
I know, I know, its serious!

Saving him for a win against the WSW next Friday?
Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days
