Sigmund marking Matt Simon


The way Ricki was talking of North's performance against Perth, North would play at RB if we went with 4 across the back, which would mean Sigmund and Dura will be marking Simon and McBreen with no spare man.

An actual Big Mac combo would do better than Macallister

lol, indeed.
 
I was just thinking what a donkey he is.
 
Don't like the idea of playing him at all as it seems to be a long ball focus which is crap football.
 
Not happy if he starts ahead of Pav.

RH will start with the same side that toughed it out in Perth. He'll be so focused to sure up that defence at home again. Not sure why he can't see what a difference Pav can make. Look at that first half away at Adelaide. Can't see us starting a run without Ward and Pav figuring. Mac looked way off the pace of the game when he came on at Perth. That's the problem when the backups are restricted to playing amongst themselves, and not having gametime. Big issue for this club.

Normally $30, I think.

My starting line-up please Ricki.

              Paston
North    Sigmund   Dura   Muscat
               Elliott
            Brown     Ward
      Ifill               Bertos
               Greenie

Bench: Lia, Hearfield, Pav, Vuko

In reality I think Lia and Ward will be swapped over.



like this one.
Lia and hearfield starting line up - no way.
I like North on the wing too, he did a really good job last week.

.
I like this team too....it has nice attacking balance with Ward playing as a forward attacking CM. But with the team leaking goals I think Rickie will be conservative and try and shore up the defense by playing Lia instead of Ward. Maybe next week agaianst shiite useless Jets we could go in with a more attacking team with Ward.
Personally I disagree with being overly defensive. If you played Ward then someone from the CCM midfield has to stay back and mark him.....if you play Lia then you are inviting their midfield forward. Sometimes attack is the best form of defense....if you are going hard at a team it sometimes changes their mindset....if you sit back then they will come at you all match.

Im not trying to be a tough kent ( haha )
What im trying to say that if working on match day and missing the game makes him so miserable surely he can find another job where hours are more flexible or negotiate with the boss/manager to somehow let him of the hook to watch the game and make up the hours later in the week, and if that fails THEN tell him/her to F off and look for another job. Or at the start of next season give him/her a fixture list therefore he/she will know in advance when loyalgunner wont be available, oh crap that wasnt worth the effort i take your an Arsenal fan?

We seem to be a sort of boogie team for CCM, they've only beaten us the first time we played them.. This should be a good one, am gonna have to watch it on a screen .. Should be interesting, never watched a home game before..

We will never fully decide who has won the football.

Macallister? What the hell is Ricki thinking?

Sure, we won last week - but Big Mac was about as effective as a plank of wood of the bench. I rate Ricki as a coach (obviously) but he really has the blinkers on sometimes.

Starting Nix tonight: Paston Muscat Durante North Sigmund Brown Elliott Lia Bertos Ifill Greenacre Subs Daniel Macallister Hearfield Vukovic

No Ward ....?? Thought he'd have been on the bench, Mac must be running out of chances (unless he puts one away or makes something happen for the lads playing off him)

There is no doubt in my mind Ward has said something or done something in training that has pissed the coaching staff off

I don't rate him very highly but he's still the only player of that type on the squad - why you wouldn't have him on the bench at home is crazy.

Why you would have Macallister anywhere near the team is bat sh*t insane toovaleo2010-11-13 18:35:28

Really looking forward to this one, for some reason. I'm keen to see if all that "turning the corner" talk after the Perth game is just talk. Come on you Nix!

I'm watching it at Foxes in Auckland. Say hi if you're there, I'm the one with Harper on the back of a Nix shirt!

Daniel just did the 'Matchday Saturday challenge' and completely failed haha - first Welly player on it.
(Have to twirl around 7 times so your dizzy, dribble through a cone, hit the crossbar then get blindfolded and juggle 3 times.)

Has the worst time by about a minute. Embarrassing stuff.
