Not sure that is the only reason.

Actually, getting outplayed quite a bit these days

This a consequence of very sloppy possession and poor play

Not the start we wanted!

So we’re democratic in our oggies, give aways and weak penalties! 

Not just 4 for Auckland, now for MacArthur too…

Good on Oluwayemi making the initial penalty save but yeah not a good start.

Hughes' 2nd big mistake leading to a goal in 2 games. Hopefully he can put it behind him and put in a good shift for the rest of the match

If MacArthur are all as weak mentality as Jakolis we should come back here. Dumb play

1-0 down. Pleased in a way, cos we have to play forwards.

Too much going back,even so

 The commentators said the sprinklers were on very late today, so Hughes might have slipped just at the wrong time.

Some of our passing is intentionally bad and delayed it seems like we are trying to throw the game. It's extremely frustrating.

We should start just playing route one because we lack the ability to pass out under any kind of press.

Forward line seems to be the ones unable to hold the ball tbh

Twenty five minutes in, and I am already looking forward to Colakovski and Walker to come on and put some life into our forward action.

Waugh is calling absolutely piss all in some of these dodgy 50/50's.

No tempo to our play whatsoever, despite the best attempts of the commentators to say we're trying to go up tempo...

When are we also going to look to get to the byline and look for cutbacks or drilled crosses across the penalty area? 27 minutes and we've literally only just managed a period of sustained pressure down their end.

Excellent play, much better than the soporific efforts so far from us.

Kosta should have let a shot go for his chance. Ishige just unlucky hitting the post.

Come on lads!

Still pissed off MacArthur getting away with all these block offs. Hope Chief sticks it right up Sterjovski after he made snide comments about us not playing football last season.

Rojas needs to play as close to 90 minutes as he can today. Unreal how a single player makes us so much better in that final ⅓.

My question is - if we did not fall behind to an early penalty, would we have piled up so much pressure on the Bulls late in the first half?  Those first 20 minutes looked something dreadful.
