R8 v Sydney FC | 10:00pm Thursday Nov 26 | Sky Sport 3 | Four Kings

did anyone else here the rebecca wilson chant by the cove?

Ref has been spot on so far I think

I have a beef with any slow leak. 

All that work and Gulley again can't pass the ball. I count 6 times either Doyle or Gulley have killed an attack.

Amazed how well Roy does in the air, he wins more headers than he should

Roly  WTF

sub roly

She drinks and she drives

She drinks and she drives

Rebecca Wilson

She drinks and she drives

Roly having a mare so  hopefully nabs second half double.

How many times does Roly need to get fouled before the ref calls persistent?

I think Gulley gets beaten every time when it's 1on1. I'm not seeing the promise there. Anyone else?

Definitely struggling this game.

I think he needs to lose the beard.

fbs have given it away a few times but have been defensively sound at least

Roly looks in the mood to get send off

Not nearly at our best but some good chances and 0-0 was frankly better than I was expecting at half time. But we'll have to pick it up to get some points. Sub Roly?

Early days for Gulley. Two games away in 5 days means he could be drained. 

We're playing worse than the WSW game imo.

Playing very slowly and Sydney aren't playing very well either.

I think the play is scrappy because this isn't a derby.

poor play metric - Tick

I thought gulley has showed promise in his few games

Adelaide attacked him mercilessly and despite a couple of errors i thought he came up well out of that, seemed like a bit of a trial by fire

Average game,Fenton hasn't turned up will be very surprised if him or Rodriguez aren't hooked in  the second half!

I think he could come good; but i'm not seeing it yet. Maybe it doesn't help that Doyle isn't exactly an attacking full back, so he feels some responsibiltiy to go forward as well.

Rod and Riera have been our best players

I hate to be that guy but I do feel we could really do with Rufers energy in the second half. Don't think we'll see Fenton come back on at RM, I think he'll either be moved back or subbed. 

Dreadful first half. Time after time, wrong decisions taken.

We only need one corner once Lia is on

TBH the Blues are not WSW.  They have a decent squad but  the sheer number of new foreign faces means they lack instant understanding which, say, Victory has. They do not have the "mongrel" of WSW either, possibly due to fewer home-grown players in the squad. You can't deny WSW have more swagger than SydFC.

I think Doyle is the one out of his depth, keeps making basic passing errors and getting caught out of position.

Disagree, think we're defending well, turning over the ball across the park and passing accurately (mostly) into tight spaces - not something the Nix have been good at this season. What they're lacking right now is someone to hold the ball up and bring the rest of the team into play when transitioning forward.

Joel Griffith saying it like it is.

Edit: And Tara's good too.

take the mic away from negative Joel.... Way to gee up the audience mate

I think its fair to say that the 2 FBs and Fenton are our weakness. A-Rod has been good. Roly has moments but he is getting kicked off the ball so you have to forgive him for a: not being protected b: wanting retribution himself c: not being able to do anything because d: he is getting kicked off the ball.

I made the call on Fenton prior to KO. He looks dreadfully short of confidence and form. I feel for him because it came on around his shoulder injury again but this is pro football and right now, I would drag him. 

You can't do much with the FBs as we are thin. When you consider that we could have Manny there but is covering Sigmund and Gulley is covering Fenton whom is covering Sarpong and Doyle is not necessarily the 1st choice LB for Manny, it makes your head spin and you can see that the real quality that is missing, is in the back flanks. If they were tightened up, what a different team we would be.

Best used as a sideline presenter interviewing linos.

In other words, Bonevacia. I look forward to seeing him on the park one day.

Just to re-enforce my point, teams are coming at us down our flanks and crosses, cutbacks. They never come at us through the middle.

Get Tara in for Dewhurst

One of the best reffing performances Ive seen in a while regardless of teams but the way harps is blowing up youd think it was chelsea vs barcelona in the champions league all over again
