R4 vs Melbourne City | Fri 9th Nov | 9:50pm | SS1 | Four Kings

Fudge off Fenton

This may be a long night. 

Singh is a footballer

that was promising. we held the ball. Not one in the mid is offering options which is making hard for the 3 CBs 

Decent bit of play there, Singh into a nice position, nice wee ball that Williams couldn't quite get to. 

I know a lot of people hated Rickiball, and it fell away at the end, but I miss watching a team of guys that obviously had passion for the shirt, and for playing for each other, and were balanced, and set up well for the limitations of the squad

We effectively have 7 defenders - how are they first to the ball in our own box so often!?

Watching a Serbian broadcast of this game, Serbian commentators and all. Who knew they loved the Nix so much, feel sorry for them having to go through this

Great save Kurto one on one with Fornarolli.  Fox and Durante scrambled well too to get to the line.

At least Kurto is consistently decent

Crazy through ball. I just hope we can keep them out for a long time and somehow poach a goal.

Kurto mom.

Nice to have a good goalie again after last year's goalkeeping farce. Other than that a dismal half of football.

Yep, completely proving his worth as an import.  Seen some takes blaming him for the goal which is crazy imo.

Even growing to love his massive hollywood dives at balls going wide/over.

I think Rudan may need a hug.

We are so trashy, need something special in the 2nd half.

Very lucky to only be 1-0 down at half-time.

Thats a game and a half now where we have not looked close to scoring. Dear me where are the goals going to come from

cotdamn this is so dispiriting.....

Fenton is having a game to forget. Kurto is a lumbering keeper but he is effective. Our ball retention is just miserable 

guna be easy to bag the weaker players, but we really need more from our experienced players- if they all play like Kurto we've got a chance.

We're gonna score in a minute

Dura again doing a job

Never any pressure on City. We constantly let them walk it up to half way after we've had an attack shutdown. City have been first to the ball and constantly pressured us, which has kept us in our own half.

If they don’t play better second half, I promise you we will fight avoid the spoon. It’s pretty scary performance, again.

We are just so average at the moment.. the squad needs a complete overhaul and start over!

We're in this. Plan is last 20. (famous last words)

If we don't stop turning the ball over so quickly, this will be 3 or 4. Fenton couldn't pass go, I don't think. 

Mandi runs like he has brick for boots

As someone above said - Where are the goals going to come from? We're looking very limp in attack. 

There is also so much pressure on us every time we have the ball and the reason for this is the lack of movement off the ball, it's all too static. 

The big positive I can see this year is the keeper, he's awesome. 

Mandi should've been a lot more committed going out to that ball for the goal.

Well Kurto has meant we're not out of it. Singh should start every game. Mandi has a big chunk of liability for the goal.

Something special needed from Rudan at the break - bring out the mojo hand

COYN

omg is rudan on another planet?

would rudan the pundit say the same thing about this side's poerformance?

I know that a lot of people around here are still optimistic about Rudan, but so, so much of this is about the dreadful style of play. They are the tactics of a team that expects to get hammered. It's how I'd expect the All Whites to play against France.

come on Phoenix!

Crazy that City have Brattan, Caceres, Griffiths and Vidosic not even starting.

how good are the gulls
