Steinmann is...eh. Mandi was better. Lucky to not get a yellow or two.
R4 vs Melbourne City | Sun 3rd Nov | 6:00pm | SS7
Can we get a tally of Monday morning "sorry Phoenix we got that wrong" calls/statements over the last couple of years. I'm pretty sure there has been a few.
At some point can we just exchange them for points on the board??
Getting sharkhoused by the referees and the most tinpot plastic franchise in the league. Wasn’t expecting the national league game to be the best football match I’d watch today...
so glade I cashed out early on my $5 bet!. Still unfair about the pen.
4 games lost on the trot means we're pretty much gone already. What a disappointment that is.
So Mr Kerr, please enlighten us all about the Refereeing and VAR calls please. I look forward to your input and justifications so I can match them up when I watch the game.
PS: Ufuk, Welcome to the A League New Zealand style. Now that you are on the receiving end of some dodgy call, do you now feel there is nothing untoward the Nix going on?
Steinmann is..bad
Louis Fenton is a champion. Need a few more like him out there
we look bad
As pissed as I am about the VAR we have been poor for most of this game and deserve to lose unfortunately.

Ehhh... Adelaide had a pretty bad start on the season they won. Not saying we're going to win anything, but it certainly ain't over
Our backline is appalling.

Subbed at half time for McCowatt

He started...
Louis isn't an a league right back.,he just can't defend

In politically correct terms our current situation would be...The unfortunate morbidly enlarged non gender specific person is preparing to take the stage and entertain us all. Is that right?
Sorry guys & Ladies, trying to keep a sense of humour after reading all the comments before mine.

Err...this is humour, no?

Are you Kidding - I have supported the NIX since day one - The NIX arent allowed to be successful
or pass

Says something about the impact he made.
Hey, most teams only have a scapegoat- we have a scape team!
As soon as that pen happened we just gave up, surely it should fire us up
I've yet to see anything to alleviate my early season worries that this 4-2-2-2 really doesn't suit our players, and is a formation that seems to leave gaps in the middle, exposes our defensive flanks as our wide backs tuck in, and leaves us undercooked going forward as our 'wingers' pull back in to try and cover the advanced wide players of the opposition.
City are taking the piss
We're like the Paul Okon version of Central Coast Mariners. Play pretty well at times but still too shark to win
So Talay needs to come up with Plan B. If he doesn't have that and can't turn this team around I'd like to see him out the door before the end of the month.
So you want to stick with a coach who clearly is out of his depth at this level? Maybe you're happy to finish bottom this year but I'm not. And yes there's plenty of other coaches out there who could do a job.
Yup, that's pretty much standard for any team in any league around the world.
The reason is that players loose their confidence in the coaches ability to turn things around. The belief goes, the heads drop and a losing mentality creeps in. We're one defeat away from getting there, if not already.

Trouble is, the referee association like to blood their new borns against us. Obviously they want to make the grade and dare not rule against policy thereby actually giving us a rub of the green, a break, or a fair decision.
Pretty obvious the morale is shot with this lot. Apart from all the tactical issues it's going to be very hard getting them back up for the next game.
yes nice goal!
So we get a point for the draw right? Once the league apologises tomorrow morning we get the point?
We're making a habit of scoring when it doesn't matter

that just annoys me
so without the bullshark penalty it’s a draw
Congratulations Ben Waine. Looked dangerous AF since coming on. Well deserved goal
We go good when 2 behind in injury time.

I'm pretty sure the main VAR guy today has been around a long time, and has a reputation for dodgy (possibly corrupt?) decisions.
Crumb of consolation. Onya Ben.
Waine needs to start in front of Jaush
