We look bad without Clayton

imanixsupporter

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.

 the problem is when we play ugly football like the victory game we don't win 

This ref really isn't going to call anything is he?

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

ffs. Payne is having to play both CB and DM atm. Way too much space is being left in front of the defence by Rufer and Ug

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.

oh FFS Sail get your body behind that!

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

rubbish. 

What a cock up. That is rubbish.

Had to be Uli. Really not helping ourselves with clearing the ball

Just shows that the many chances we had and there we go.

theprof

oh FFS Sail get your body behid that!

agree, but also the 3 defenders should have done better before Sail was called into action. 

Fudge Sail!

Fudge off Oli. Paulsen to start next one, absolute utter piss.
Naan bread wrists trying to stop that.
Useless.

Well we just had 3 on him and he still gets a shot away…

That feels like a super soft goal to give away

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.

Pitiful from Rufer and Sail. Here we go again.

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

I said last week that Sail has to be dropped. I got some push back from folk on here.

How about I try again today?

Why did Sasse get carded for Kurto headbutting him!?!?

he is a little bit good - all three should have done better.

think that pen call fits in the consistancy space.
shoulder charge to ball - clear pen.

Fudge that was grubby

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.

shark, we get a pen!!! 

great save by Kurto.

Well we all knew that was going to happen right?

Outpost

Well we all knew that was going to happen right?

No, why would we? It was a good save.

almost more disappointed he didnt score the follow up

VAR checking tackle of Kraev.

studs into the ankle - Pen and red?
