Argh I hate to say it as I was very keen for the nix to get Bill…… but god we play better with James in that role.
McCarron and James on at half time just to limit the damage

If not for Bill we are 4 down. His injury in the box... goal if not for him. Plus a couple other blocks in the six yard box. 

The midfield is the issue.

AWOL all game.

This maybe controversial but in a way (as a fan) I hope we get another 6-1 next weekend by AFC.

I say this as whatever reaction after the game by the management will speak volumes (hypothetically).

A big fudge you to the club for making us suffer through another ALM season just as awful as the last when you had the chance to do something about it.
 
They should have fired him at Christmas 2024. 
The damage the management has done by supporting him is extremely unfortunate, but hey did you hear about the boarding school?

We fudge around at the back and give the ball away. Passes completed about 5 out of 100.  The players are as much to blame as the negative hopefully on the counter attack tactic. Our 3 up front are not getting decent ball. As I said Fudge Around, Find Out. We'll, they have found out twice in the first half.

Yup, this is crap. Season is teetering on done at this point.

Everything on the line and we show up with this? Fudge all the way off. 

It was done about 4 weeks ago. Only been holding on as the table is so tight.

The men's team needs to be funded/supported like the women seen to be.

We have got some rookie coach while they have an ex (successful) international level coach.

Hopefully we move to a 4-4-2, get Piper up front. Sander off. Need Singh & Rufer to step up.

Sheridan & Hughes are getting eaten up out wide. 

Play for some pride atleast......please

Letting kraev go... and signing two unknown Japanese players on i suspect big contracts was the start of his team building...

Well, if you want to send a message to James that he hasn't been good enough, Sheridan starting ahead of him is as harsh as it gets. 

For me, hopefully that is Manjrekar's lesson learnt, let's get James back on!

So when is the real Bill going to show up because the one we have is a dud.
So over this shark just dont get the lack luster play of most of most of them. 
Would rather see a team of young guys with some passion for the club.

I want to see 3 outlets- Armiento, Eze, Piper and one playmaker. 

Eze touched the ball twice and looked dangerous both times. 

Payne shouldn’t be on the plane to the WC at this rate. No leadership. No oomph. That last moment has a chance to try to find a cross, turns back, and the ref blows up. 

I can understand why James has been left out, but Fraser v Sheridan is a weakness and Sheridan can’t hit a long ball. 

Sandra and Singh trying to make Ramy look good. 

We look like a team that’s just been introduced. Because that’s the case. 

We’d settled and got on a roll and then instead of rewarding that settled team, and add new players carefully we decided to chop and change. New systems every week. And somehow we brought in two left backs, we have  7-8 left footers and still we have no one to play LB. So our best CB is out there covering. 

I dunno. We need to win here. Would’ve been a good game for LBS with all the space to dribble in.

The look on Chiefy's face. I'd suggest a few players have been read their pedigree. And rightly so. Some players are on good coin and trying to get WC spots. Waste of money if they are not getting the ball.

He should care about his job more than a few people trying to get WC spots.

Singh and Bill fleeced the club.

Kraev was unknown when he came to us and has been unknown most of this season.

He’s played them on reputations though. Trying to save his job. Not backing his team doing a job, when we don’t have time to start again.

Dome and Gill should be made accountable, as you may say, but the woman's team! I'm pretty sure they were incredibly lucky to get Priestman, but they will tell you it was all their genius planning. We have to endure two seasons of this shark.

Honestly they have.

AFC have conceded the odd poor goal/need a creative spark to make games go from 1-0 to 2 or 3 nill. If Singh and Tuiloma were actually at a decent level they would have been snapped up by AFC (especially Tuiloma, he has 0 connection with the A-League)

Priestman is only here as her partner works at the Nix, I absolutely guarantee she wouldn't be here otherwise. Works good for NZ Football as I think she could be the next FF coach.

Yeh. I mean he’s not selected the best team with his best combinations and form players.

I feel it’s a real blessing to have Bev this year as a direct benchmark. Both teams have faced injuries and setbacks, but Bev has an incredible ability to bring out the best in her players. The contrast between how the women’s team is playing and how the men are performing is night and day - attitude, commitment, belief, and the way they play for each other are on a completely different level.

How much more clear evidence do we need to realised that Chiefy is just not up to it? AFC will go 6–0 in a week’s time.

So you both would have rather the Phoenix didnt bother to offer her anything. The Nix took advantage of the situation presented to them should be congratulated on doing it but some would rather throw shark. Dont get it.

Im not saying that at all, I think the Nix was smart to take the advantage and if it means a title or silverware for the women's team, I'm all for it. I even mentioned she could coach the NZ women as I think she's doing a phenomenal job.

I'm just stating if her partner was elsewhere she probably would have got a gig near her.

That is not what I said, it was pure luck to get her, glad they hired Bev, I believe with her we have a chance to win something.

This World Cup 😒. 

Could be no Wood. No other striker close to his ability. Libby has been in and out with injuries. Our other FBs are either small (and not Cannavaro) or can’t run. Singh has done himself an injury here, not being able to hold a candle to Thurgate. 

We’re a much less impressive team than we might have been. Don’t want to name anyone else and jinx them…

We should be trying Bill RB and Payne LB here…

McGarry and Roux look better to be on the plane than anyone out there tonight. 

Is Payne still carrying a niggle? He’s been pancake flat for 3 weeks.
