basically our defence will see us battle for the wooden spoon, if they were even average we would be 3rd or 4th

Padton has been shaky except for one save. We were told by many that he is a better organiser than Moss. Haven't seen it.

Christie is giving Spagnuolo about 10 yards on that left flank every time. Christie has been a liability today

Interesting to note that Adelaide has really shut down the interplay between Daniel and Felipe. They haven't connected once.

I'll go on record that since Elrich and Lia has started and Johnson hasn't we've lost our midfield dominance we had in the first 6 rounds.

If I was Aurelio Vidmar, I'd be telling his players to pump it in the mixer all half.

What the..... are you on the wacky backy. Plodder, Old and O'Dor are terrible.

Old by far the worse. I wanna drag him off the field myself
 
 
lol..let me guess? bring in sigmund?


Thats right. Bring in Ben Sigmund! Felipe would do better at CB than Old. Old is tall but he cant head. Whats the point? He's useless

Need some long arsed arms to reach him from NZ. Have to say I am not that confident when they are inside our half either- but, definitely some positives from that first half...

Old is so unco, how did he ever make as a pro. We should just play three at the back and throw on an extra striker.

i think elrich is going ok; a couple of good crosses and he steams back on defence too.

Vidmar - "Long balls straight up the park - 2 big centre backs - neither of them can head"

Or

"Cross from the left. Christie couldnt catch a cold."

Only thing we can be a bit positive about is the way we look when on attack.That is despite some poor delivery from daniel and alrich.A heap of corners and we wasted most of them.

F****ck! What is it with added time and the Phoenix??? Thats very disapponting considering we attacked so much in the 1st half! Felipe has been quiet yet again, hopefully he'll free up a little in the 2nd half. Adelaide only need one more and they'll have this! COME ON PHOENIX!

or even better, cross from the right and get spagnolo in on goal without a challenge...

Consistent with what appear to be the new (phoenix) defintion of football:  A game in which two attack and only one defends.  There has actually been some quality play on attack. 

I know, I know, its serious!

The haircuts/colours are contributing to a lack lusrtre performance I think...Daniel is getting a lot of free kicks awarded this week but him and Felipe have hardly combined at all.

A small town in Europe........looking to bounce straight back up....well that aint going to happen

Well i had a tenner on Smeltz to get the first goal at 8 to 1 with the TAB so every cloud has a silver lining!!
Think we can still win this if Ricky gives the defence the bollocking they need at half time ,could be another 85% possession  for us  and no goals ,anyway at least its still a game so fingers crossed!

Big call- we've had so many corners because they have been threatening enough to force the Adelaide D to put them out for other corners. Good delivery I think but we just lack any dominance in the area.

how about John tambo and sigmund?

Think Ricki didnt like Tambo as he was too long ball. However, the fact that Old cant even connect with the ball 90% of the time never mind clear it say Tambo should be signed.

But I think he was in Romania...

Ben Sigmund.... SIGN HIM UP!

"not confident?

he's doing ok, as long as he contributes he doesn't have to outshine the entire squad, just play some intelligent balls - as he does and create a bit with his pace and shoot (and we know he can do that!)
