WPM R9 vs WS Wanderers | Sun 22nd Dec | 7:00pm | Sky Sports 1

Looks like Sheridan and Walker will be coming on for the 2nd half

Chiefys just has a chat with them on the pitch and they have bibs off

Cmon boys. One goal and we're definitely in this.

One of the worst halves I’ve ever seen. No creativity. No sting in our attack.

No desire to push forward and grab a fu(king goal because we seem to have forgotten that’s how you play this game we call football.

Alleluia!

One player I don't rate at all is Sheridan, so....mm

Piper has to score there..

Piper really needed to score there. Free header. Great free kick btw.

Gotta score that ffs

WTF??? That was terrible ffs.

We've got some spark back in our attack

How many fouls before a yellow ffs

That was some Looney Tunes shark ffs

Note to Alex King: fouls 4-13. Make with the yellow cards for West Sydney.

We just have too many young  players, just basic stuff  not being done. Only Kosta is trying to take control out there. Even Rufer has lost the plot.

Absolutely off topic. I think FIFA has brought in some nice changes in recent times in order to let the game flow (linesmen don't need to call for offside immediately and can rely on VAR to give the attacking team the advantage, goal kicks being able to be played inside the box and more).  I think the new improvement needs to be that players touching the ball after the whistle has gone get an instant yellow. It really annoys me how teams stop the opposition from taking advantage from a quick restart all the time. Everyone does it of course, but so did people use to pass back to the GK before the rule was changed in the 90s...
I think a change in this direction would make games a lot more fun.

I'm really sick of watching Nagasawa. 0 urgency. Just jogs around the pitch. Poor passing. What does he actually offer?

Got back to intercept a ball in the box between strikers. But that’s just what I’ve seen in the last minute. 

Is Tim Payne trying to teach our players how to go forward with the ball?

Nagasawa: Defensive positioning, appalling. He wouldn't be Serie farking D in Italy.

That's already in the rules. Refs don't apply it.

WSW look super tidy around the box, don't see them passing it all the way back to their keeper all the time either!

We’re just hanging in this. We need to score.

OHHHHHHHHHHH WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beauty!

HWFG. Great goal.

More nothing please, Mr Invisible!

Fair finish that

Cmon cods

Magical things can happen when you attempt a cross...who would have thought

A goal at least!

What a goal! I thought he screwed that by blocked it haha

Amazing what you can do when you are positive. 
Rojas or no Rojas.

Sorry for the facebook level posts,maybe I actually understand the game

Is that the first ever Phoenix bicycle? 

Hopefully that's immense enough yo raise morale and fire the rest of the boys on the pitch up and inspire them.

Sick goal!

valeo

How many fouls before a yellow ffs

The other problem with Chiefs play like Barcelona relying on injury prone kiwi Messi strategy:
- A League refs
- A League pitches
- A League culture of physicality
To be fairer, he was probably hoping for more from Ishige, Cola and he's been unlucky that so far neither has really come off at the level he needs and due to injury.
With Rojas, Ishige, Kosta and Cola we'd look decent. Missing two out of four and Ishige a little less, so far, than we might have hoped for.

Haha so Ishige goes wicked good and scores a cracker.
COYN

That was a bloody lovely goal really.

We look so much better playing positive football.
