WPM R4 vs Newcastle Jets | Fri 10th December | 9:45pm | SS7

Can see this game turn ugly. Loads of Nix players cutting an increasingly frustrated figure. They are getting bossed, while not creating anything themselves. 

Safire

As a central midfielder, Rufer is walking 95% of the time, as a captain, he always point and ask the team to make backward passes...(because he's not running into positions to receive the ball)

which is why he shouldnt be on the field, he can be the cub capt all e wants but he is terrible for go forward football.

Well here's the thing, The Jets are not the side they were from last season and everyone on he should know that or get there head of there a$$.
Jets are playing well with great passing why'll we are just playing catchup.

Have you watched the Jets this season, out of interest? We've made them look a lot better.

I haven't seen us get this bossed for a long time.

A worrying sign when you are subbing off your most creative player after just 66 mins.

Well to be fair Reno wasnt exactly creating a lot. Change was needed.
Fudge!

Laws wtf

LOL and its 3-0

January 14th is a long time away.

Guys like Laws, McGarry, Rufer are fine squad players, but if we want to do anything they can't be starters. I think that's clear.

yeah they've conceded 2 goals in all of their first 3 games and won none. We have played them into form.

Night everyone!

Is he? McGarry has created more tonight.

Friar Tuck

Night everyone!

 sleep tight

This is a frustrating watch

This is looking like a repeat of today's earlier game

Pennington on for Lewis and Sutton on for McGarry.

It's weird how leggy and lethargic we have looked all night, and that's not just because the Jets have played well. 

Hey we're still in the FFA Cup!

i bet this free kick goes nowhere

Worst part is we can’t blame var or the referees today =(

This is the sort of game if we had Jeremy Brockie he would score a meaningless consolation goal right about now.

this is just ugly!
Rufer and Pennington just standing there stabbing a foot at air and letting Pena shoot.

LMAO now its 4-0

Yeah, can't even blame the Tuesday night game seeing as the guys looking the most lethargic didn't even get any minutes.

We're so shark it's unbelievable 

It’s clear that this is Royz fault for not anti-jinxing us

It would be a worldie too

Night everyone. Too much disappointment for me to delve any further into this performance tonight.

Wierd seeing us get pumped like this, don't think its ever happened during Uffie's time in charge. We're defending as a group, nice and narrow, and while we're not creating much the Jets shouldn't be able to consistently find space through two blocks of four that are basically 10m apart. Hard to put this humbling down to any individuals, everything that could go right for the Jets has gone very very right for them today, some nice goals. 

And Rufer puts it into the sky... I swear I would've got that at least on target. How much time and space does he need? 

Rufer tried a Worldie, haha

 91 games without a goal. I knew it was missing the target as he was lining up.

 Surely there'd be standing orders that he should not, under any circumstances, attempt a shot.

Pathetic display.

Well, that was absolutely dire. I'm gonna now attempt to forget that ever happened.

Can Harper f- off on Paramount? Phoenix ownership have supported two seasons with almost no home games. Carrying about how much the Jets have invested to get all 3 of their fans there. 

That was depressing.

Good wake up call, had it coming if you are gonna play like that but all credit to the Jets they are good side.

Well that sucked.

Not to out myself as a fair-weather fan but I only got into football about 3 or 4 years ago which has coincidentally coincided with the Phoenix having quite a decent run of it, but was this what the Kalezic years were like? Because fudge me that was pretty dry.

All credit to Arthur Pappas for getting a decent bunch of imports and for retaining some of the old guard. We got outplayed by a better side tonight. Happens.
Last week I was in a murderous mood after losing to the undeserving WSW ("Hand of God", sorry, "hand of Jehova", anyone?) but tonight despite the hurt of losing there was clearly nothing we could do against well performing Jets. We were quite static in defence and slow on transition. But that should not take anything away from the Jets who played some nice creative energetic football tonight.
And where was  C-Diddy when we needed him most to cast a preventive spell ("I hate the Jests") before the game?
