Preferred starters for this game...
I have a feeling Payne will be found out at CM but interested to see how he would go. I'd like McGing to start but can't see Ufuk dropping DeVere. Just hope there'll be a couple changes to the 11 we've started with the first 3 games
Gotta go for 3 points here. There's no reason why not. Its 4 games into the season, pretty much most of our players are looking good imo. What I wana see is some fire in the belly, be more aggressive in defense and take it to them up front.
3:1 NIX
I didn't think we were as good as in the 2nd game, so hopefully being away from home will bring out our best showing this weekend.
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
It's not as yet. In Ernie's last season, we opened with 4 losses, scoring only 1 goal (and that goal came in round 4 in a 6-1 drubbing by Victory).
I'm not convinced our form so far indicates we're going to be a major threat this year, but as we've only lost by the odd goal in each game I'm not giving up hope
Don't agree with this, Perth completely dominated the first half
Agree. Was Men v Boys in that first half, for sure; think they dominated more than Syd did even.

I just think Perth are a better team than Sydney right now.

Is Ben Abraham a very experienced referee at this level? Never heard of him
Not really - from this article:
Couldn't find any stats on his so it may well be his first game at this level.

Let's be honest with ourselves, Phoenix are promising, but will fail to deliver this season. If they somehow manage top six, then I'm completely wrong. Hopefully there's a lot more improvement in this match such as goals and clean sheet.

I am sure they have marked that one in their diary to remember when they play us this season.
Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

Will forever remember that day. Got married :D Very enjoyable highlights!

Midfield and fullback cover looking the worries at this stage. And possibly Devere < Durante?
Attack is strong and must do better. Not enough goals from our chances so far.

'bloody good' is an optimistic take; but we've looked OK at times, usually when already going a goal behind.
Biggest concern has been our leaky defence. Not going to get anywhere with that.

I'm sure that will go great. I love how we're always given the trainees.
Perth are being "given" him as well.
More injury concerns at Melbourne City. This time Richard Windbichler

Don't wanna get ahead of myself but with Maclaren, Delbridge and now Windbichler out I think we are favourites to win this
Looking forward to this game. Hard day of moving house will be rewarded with a nix win ?
think Uffie should be saying something along the lines of wanting to see proper protection for dribbling players like Ball, why it's difficult to attract quality technical players to the league etc.
And lets get a win!

...did anyone else scroll down and read that guys name as windbitcher?
I put $5 on us for the win, if we score first then I will cash out early just in case. COYN!
Mr Positive
Just remember too, they lost a cup final last week. Their heads might not be in the right place. Who knows. I'm picking City for the win with VAR yet again stiffing us.
so the rents have cancelled the sky subscription, is there any other way of watching nix away games?
If you have access to a Vpn. Set it to India Japan or somewhere check the my football YouTube page and it may be streaming
After seeing Weatern beat Victory I must say they have everything we don't.
This game against City will reveal who we are imo. Its 4 games into the season, the team's had enough time together now. City is missing their best player. If we lose this one we're in deep deep trouble and will most definitely not finish in the top 6.
On the other hand, a good performance and there is some hope.
