Yellow Fury vs NQ Fury (Match Fred)

Yellow Fury vs NQ Fury (Match Fred)

Early start this week folks as we cheer on either the bubbly boys or last years Fever scholarship winner Dan Finlay's Three Kings in Big Cup action before the Phoenix match.

Formation and player angst can start here:

Same formation as last week with Siggy in for Manny or Lochhead. Marco on the bench again. Whoop whoop for a play maker.Michael2009-09-14 14:07:24

what has happened to Chen and Caceres?

caceres starts training today i think. Chen will prbably get some game times soon i reckon.

Shut down Talay, target Tadrosse (who is useless) imo

wohooo... im coming down from auckland for this, my first nix match

aah true the All Blacks are playing. might be a few others to the Fury game, coz of the Blacks in town.

paston

swap Lochy for Sigmund and I could go with that..id like to see Chen on the bench otherwise fly him home and get a real striker.

cacceras marco and siggy on the bench

Can Sigmund play left back?

He has at NZFC level, but he wasn't convincing at right back so i'd say unlikely.

He sort of made his mark there though when he first came into the team.

"Ifil is our God"

BIGGER than BECKHAM

  Fowler Vs Phoenix

I was actually gonna write Liverpool is sh*t on a huge sheet 

or

Liverpool is

Any news on the McKain injury?

Just for Robbie:



...Down the aisles by the Fever Zone.

ferkin great!

I'd imagine unless we see an injury Ricki will keep the same team. He hardly ever tinkers with a successful (enough) formula. Maybe Caeceres on the bench for Rojas though? Seems silly Siggie won't be on though so maybe he'll slot in somewhere, although Mckain and Durante seemed to have a good partnership going.

dude lighten up!!!! its been 5 rounds and we're a matter of 3 points away from the top 4. 

don't focus on the negatives, focus on the positives. we've been playing excellent, exciting football the points will come.

Also need to remember we're 4 away games out of 6whitby fever2009-09-14 22:43:45

No Rojas? I sincerely hope not. He proved in 10 minutes what an impact he can make. Nearly created a last second winner.

Times like these that a bench of 4 becomes so limiting. If McKain is slightly dodgy, then Siggy will be on the bench at least. Other two? Rojas & Hearfield I would guess. Maybe time for Chen (instead of Hearfield) to provide a true up front option on the bench.?

That's just plain crazy talk. Caceres will get on the bench, or the field, way ahead of Marco. This whole thing threatens to become another "Play Costa" scenario, because?????
If you want him to play regularly, get our youth team running

In one of those long time listener, first time caller moments ,im proud to say ill be making the trip north and going to my first nix game. see you in the fever zone lads!

"hey fowler! Give us a line!"

Well said Smittyz11 that's the attitude.... and while we are on a positive note ...
there will no doubt be a few on this thread who might paint on their sheet....

Robbie Fowler, Liverpool legend...
He knew Manure when he smelt it.
Michael Owen, Liverpool legend...
Has serious sinus problems.

I know it looks ridiculous but I believe it can be tried at home.

that is ridiculous. can see our midfield falling apart down the middle.

and with our angst of being bottom, we shouldn't worry. We have a squad capable of really being dangerous. and if we had snuck wins from the past two games in which we probably should have won, then we would be 2nd equal!

I think the squad should remain the same for me. With a bench of Caceres, Hearfield and Chen.
Maybe swap Hearfield for Siggy?
Although Rojas was promising, we still should be looking at these other players. Although Hearfield has had a lot of time on the bench.

Don't think we should be breaking up that defensive combo. For me its just Manny vs Siggy for a start and then neither should make the bench if they don't make the starting squad. 

McKain going off highlighted some defence probs if one goes down and no cover. If he went off when he first whacked his knee we would have had 15-20 mins with Manny at CB and Lia at RB. That scenario could play out again as we only have Siggy as a spare. If McKain is out for a whole game then we have no cover for CB.

Another version of how to play 6 backs. No thanks.

I think Caceres could be the missing link in the middle. If he gets on  and is in a good mind set then he could be the one to be creative in the middle.

I reckon Ricki should give him free rein the first game to give him some confidence and hopefully turn into a great creative attacking centre midfielder for us.

him alongside the brut of Brown/Lia would be the creative passer while the other is the hard tackler/aggressor.

If you want to hang out you've got to take him out .............

for the love of God, Ricki - PLAY 2 UP FRONT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ffs. 

We're often playing 3 with the current tactics so you want us to cut it to 2 ?

Okay.

exactly, at home we have tended to play a 4 - 3 - 3 line up, with Daniel, ifill and greenacre pushing forward - why reduce it to two, away we use the 4 - 5 - 1, which I hate....
