We are playing an incredibly high line, with one of the slowest backline's in the league. Can someone make any sense of this?
 
We were quicker than the over 70s and under 10s we played in preseason.

The Perth front three are working hard, covering ground and starting their sprints deep and running behind. Textbook way to destroy a high defence.

Just like last season, we currently look like a team that is pre-occupied with structure rather than execution. Our "non-football" play, sprint, tackle strength, covering ground at speed, etc is non-existant compared to our opposition.

LKH is getting no protection. And is also getting destroyed.

Interesting seeing Wooton pinging long passes for fun, when some criticised his distribution last year. And I agree, he wasn't progressive for us.

Watching this after watching the All Whites earlier this week puts the Nix into quite an unflattering light... really incoherent so far. Everything breaking down very quickly 

After two AW games and the AFC game just now, this is shark.

I'm not a betting person but I do bet Eze will get a yellow card. That is my vibes 

My money is on him being a dud.

Edit: Maybe not. Well taken goal.

Dufaq would you play a highline and 3 at the back when at 2/3 of your backline are slow as fudge!?!

If we lose 2-0 with goals conceded in both halves fair dinkum, but given that we should be 4 or 5 down by now, Chiefy gotta go.

I'm gonna go to bed at halftime, I've never not finished a season opener but we don't have an aleague quality coach, and the bar is low. It's actually insulting to the fans we kept the same manager. They might as well have just told us to STFU and choke down our poo soup and tell them about much we like it.

Think it’s time to be a euro snob, switch over and watch the Chelsea/Forest game.

Sexy strip however.

I did. This is exactly what I expected and put money on it. I didn't think we'd potentially concede 3 goals with 30 minutes though.

Wait till chief perseveres with it for the next 10 games and then complains about his mental health and some other excuses. He didn't change last season, why would we expect it now.

The worst thing about this is AFC look decent and hard to beat too. If Randall could have finished they would have won too.

That was a poor miss. Should have buried it.

Our defensive line shouldn't be so high. And our away kit shorts should be green to match the shirt collar. Shambles all round. I'm not sure which is irritating me more.

So Rufer's contract expires end of this season, right? Surely he'll pull a Kosta (justified) and head off somewhere else in search of a functional team? No way he sticks around to be part of this madhouse, and I couldn't blame him!

We've had a little possession and progression now, surely a goal before halftime?

Good news- according to the radio commentary ‘Wynton Rufer’ is playing for us….
Edit, added later: Geez it’s been a while since I’ve listened to a radio broadcast. Maybe the first Nix season! It’s fine, but not Piney of that vintage…
Milwall or Forest with Wood on the bench…hmm. The Nix will fight back. Something good will happen.

 Hot take - I don't think any other team will take him.

It's so fudgeing frustrating that the game is already dead though. We not scoring 3 goals let's be honest. Why did I stay up all night.

Let's face it. Chiefs inherited a side that was connected, close knit and in the same page based off Uffies hard work. He rode that coat tail and has been found out massively! The way we've started and the tactics straight up prove this. There's far better coaches in Southern, Northern and Central league. Badges aren't worth the paper they're printed on

While we have looked good this last 10, gotta say that perf has stepped off us and let us make all the play. We've had sniffs but need to turn it into something. Even if it's purely for our confidence
