WPM R16 vs Macarthur FC | Sun 12th Feb | 7:00pm | SS1

pen and yellow - im ok with that

Sasse to step up

I dont think I can handle another missed pen 

FFS put this one away, my hair is getting whiter by the minute!

theprof

studs into the ankle - Pen and red?

 nah won't red our opponents 

kwlap

shark, we get a pen!!! 

2 of them 

Jesus this is nervy

Kurto! good lord that was a better save.

WE'VE MISSED ALL OUT PENS THIS SEASON!?!?! Come on Sasse!!

Fudgeing Kurto 

Lift the ball ffs. Give it to Pennington or Rufer. 

oh ffs. next time we get a pen, we just pass it out

haha what on earth

neither pen was hit great but a couple of very good saves from an ex-nix player.

can't make this shark up

Two penalties and not  one got in, bloody frustrating

Put ya fudgeing boot through it! Jesus wept.

How about we score a couple from open play!

Come on Phoenix!

We will win this game!

So samesies? 

Urgarkovic looking good for a pen…

Come on Phoenix! Bury this. We’ve had some shooting practice.

How the hell do we call ourselves a professional outfit? 4 missed penalties out of 4. The first pen was borderline at best. You've got to make these count. Yes Kurto is a good penalty kick saver but we take horrible penalties. No confidence, no finesse, no intelligence. You've either got to bloody blast the ball as hard as you can, or keep looking at the keeper as long as you can and then place it. The way these guys have taken their penalties tonight is basically a 50/50 toss. Just not good enough 

Fudgeing hell.  How is McArthur not covered in yellows based on how many times their boots and shoulder us into the ground but Ruf got that one?

lol

Pennington is no way near the quality of Ugarkovic, or Rufer for that matter.

3 goal difference between the 2 keepers

well that was "entertaining" but we should be 3-1 up!
possibly 4 if rufer could learn to attack the ball.

Absolutely embarrassing.

Drag Sasse off for Old please

oh how did Rufer miss that?
Wouldnt mind seeing him subbed for Pennignton...words I never thought I would utter. He has been too static on defence, missed tackles and passing has let him down. Give Nic the chance

Well there’s a reason these guys are at the Nix. 
But also there’s a reason you’re at the Nix. Uffie thinks you’re good enough. So let’s close this out. 

Should be 3-0. But unforced errors come from a little pressure- either Uli or Kurto. 

So let’s turn it on.

Edit:Also Pennington has scored two clutch goals for us, one a pen. If Stevey and Ruufs are loltastiscally better they have to influence some of these games.

Come on Nix.  You can bloody do this!!!!!!

The thing that really annoys me is that now the opposition has all of the confidence. They played terribly but we gifted them a goal (as much fault on Rufer for attempting that stupid dribble as much as Sail. Also Rufer missed that header...what's up with him??!). And yet by missing those two penalty kicks they will feel like luck is on their side (think us vs Sydney)...
Uffie has to tell them to wipe the slate clean. Start back on 0-0 and forget about the first half. We looked good when going forward, never mind the penalties and just create those chances

The next 45 is on Uffie and how he gets the boys fired up. They need to come out and start like we did the first half. We cannot have another game where we score first and draw/lose!

You got remember MacArthur are hanging on, fouling us in the box and across the field.
Stick to our guns, back our game and do the basics right. And get the physio team working super hard over the break! 
Remember Uffie wants to win the league on hard mode. 

Come on Phoenix! 

Rufer is terrible.

We will beat this lot they are shocking at the back. If we start well we should get a chances to lead by a couple near the final whistle. 

The next 45 might tell us how the rest of the season is going to pan out. If we don't show some steel I can see us falling away.

The one thing we can count on is Kurto is always good for at least on howler a game.

Well tat was horrible, Toure should have been called for the foul, but why does everyone else just stand there and let McArthur play on.
