We look bad without Clayton

Getting sick of Maraugis' weakness as a defensive LB. Gets beaten a lot. Don't think he offers much more than Sutton going forward either. Want to see Sutton get a start instead. 

he's actually a better defensive player than Sutton (neither are great), both good o attack, Maraugis is probably the more consistent of the two. Sutt's will get his chance but right now the encumbant is doing nothing to warrant being benched.

 could have said that last week. It was a route one goal. We had way more good build up play with Clayton. It looked nicer.

Been thinking this myself too.
Helping out the Jets by giving him game time. Admittedly he's been serviceable, but he has been getting found out a lot lately, especially the quicker and technically more gifted players easily finding space in behind him.

sometimes you gotta win ugly - if route one is ugly - personally I'll take winning football over pretty football.

He's a Jets player next year, right now he's a Phoenix player and we should play whatever player is best.

good, a pass from our defence to our 10s, rather than bypassing everyone.

As long as he's consistent I don't mind.

Either Rufer or Ugarkovic need to man mark Uli. He is gonna continue to cut through the gaps unless he's getting marked out of the game.

Davilla beats 3 players, one of them should have stopped the shot, but that is below average from Sail

Ugarkovic was asked about marking Uli and he said the Phoenix don't mark players and focuses on our own structure which is something he's never experienced before. I think if we suddenly asked them to break structure and mark players we'll create other gaps.

Less contact there by Sasse, after Kurto has spilled the ball than on our midfielder before the goal…
Consistency please Mr. the Great Ref!

How about I try again today?

shoulder charge to ball - clear pen.

Lol the reply makes it clear, he's shoulder charged him.  He turns his shoulder into Ball and never has eyes for the ball.

We should have converted a second and should not have conceded. 
Paulsen not being allowed to push Oli enough.
