R4 vs Melbourne Victory | Monday 3rd Nov | 9:30pm

Sack pirlo

Ernie will probably stick with the same eleven i think

Cunningham would be good for this game though

I reckon little babarouses will spend a lot of time on the left....Roly's gonna have to be to be super aware, and wont have last weeks luxury of tucking in all game....

What is your reasoning for expecting him to spend a lot of time on the left? He has played the vast majority of the first three games on the right wing, and given that he's been turning far more experienced full-backs than Doyle inside-out, if I was Kevin Muscat I'd ask for more of the same. Thompson will be trouble enough for Manny. I agree that Roly probably won't get forward as much, but he is a big part of our counter-attacking movements, and I would expect him to keep making those forward busts from time to time.

I think archie and barbera will swap over more than usual. If I were looking for weaknesses/ and Victory's strengths,  I think roly's postioning/speed will be be tested by wide players and barba (and archie) will target him. Barb will look to cut back inside on manny more than trying to get behind him...just a couch potatoe's inane speculation!!!

I think this will be a very close game.  In an ideal world I would have liked victory in about another 2 games time, as we're just beginning to get our shit together.....

What are you smoking chefmivec?

Lia in for Reira or Bonevacia???

Seriously?

 Fixed, that's the dream right there!

Well, I know I've got the Fever but I know why
Some Lias piss me off, the others try

pollatics keep boyd out of squad .

Berisha limping off just before half time in the FFA Cup match against Perth

Finkler scores a 92nd min equalizer in the FFA cup. Going to extra time in Perth.

In even better news: Thompson pulled out pre-game, Berisha gone off injured and Delpeirre gone off injured.

And a red card for Georgievski!

haha your on to me

And it just got even better! Leijer Red Card too!

Do reds in FFA Cup count in the A-League?

Also how bad are the injuries - will they miss Monday's game?

Well after 120 mins of Football in Perth FT score:   Glory 4-2 Victory

Red cards to Georgievski and Leijer.

Injuries to Berisha and Delpeirre.

Couldn't of gone much better for us I reckon.

Well Kosta and Finkler will still turn out against us.

I believe they do. I know they work the other way. When Ogenovski got red carded in the A-League he was banned from Sydney's next match which was their FFA cup match against Adelaide.

Both injuries hamstrings I think. Berisha stopped straight away and signalled to come off as soon as he felt it so could be interesting. Delpeirre did his in a tackle. Imagine he'll be okay for Monday.

Both were impressive. Finkler came on with 20ish to go of regular time and score a long range free kick. 

Kosta ran himself ragged for 120 mins.

Cheers.

Hmmm - time to break with history??  imagine. change.

Imagine the Thompson might still be on for Monday.  He always scores against us.

We'll still play a high line and Archie will score.  That's just the way it happens against Victory

According to news both Georgievski and Leijer are out against the Nix. No reports yet that I can see on Thompson, Del Pierre and Berisha injuri

Be interesting, I never want to really wish an injury to a player, but for the Nixs I'm kind of hoping these players will be out or not upto 100%

this is great news

surely no berisha if he pulled up with a hamstring

Flights to and from Perth.

Extra time.

2 red cards.

3 injuries.

We couldn't have hoped for a better result.

#COYN

Georgievski and Leijer are definitely suspended for the game against us.

Bugger. And I just transferred leijer in to my fantasy team.

Wouldn't princess being in their team be better for us? :)

Crikey, nix to win at $5.25 might be worth a nudge.

Holy shit, nice odds, if not now, when?

Also Phoenix 2-0 is at 29:1 ..
