[Mark325]

with the way this week has gone i completely forgot we were even playing tonight

i actually think there's a chance we scrape away with a win as well, interested to see how the team lines up and how ledley, ibini and wes all fit in at what i'd assume is much closer to full fitness

[380]

Agree Mark will be hugely interesting to see the first 11 and what shape that 11 takes. I am tipping Wes will start today but WTF do i know.

[Couscous]

We will win

[StannyCFCJET]

No Arroyo or Ibini today, Not sure why

[Mark325]

No Arroyo or Ibini today, Not sure why

both failed late fitness tests according to the jets in the comments oif their squad post

[The Dunster]

Millar once again showing his defensive value.

[The Dunster]

We look shit at the back. Boogs looks like he's stuck in 1st gear.

[The Dunster]

Ref is killing us

[The Dunster]

17mins in and Wes Houlihan looks like he needs an oxygen mask. No way is playing for 90mins

[The Dunster]

Ffs Millar try passing to a team mate rather than the opposition you useless prick

[MFKS]

Ref is killing us

Those 2 free kicks show all that is wrong with the HAL

If that was at the other end of the park we don't get them given

Yet the refs don't get sanctioned for their bias ever

[The Dunster]

Wellington handball today was on the hand and ref waved play on.

They need to make anything that hits a hand handball. It's the only way to make it consistent.

[The Dunster]

Possibly the worst half of football this season. Both sides are horrible

[Mark325]

Possibly the worst half of football this season. Both sides are horrible

was just coming on to say this, pathetic football from both sides

[Mark325]

if dimi could do that more he'd be fantastic, feel like he'd usually take one or two uneccesary touches and stuff up the chance.

[MFKS]

I don't know who that Centre Defender was who clocked off there but he needs a 5 year contract

Signing him up Gypo CEO

He will fit in well here

[Retro Jet]

Roy can clap that one from Dimi. Shit defending tho.
Our passing game seems to have sharpened up compared to the last few games.

[380]

With the exception of Millar who once again has the highest pass completion rate for the Reds.

[The Hacker]

For those who said Roy would be ordinary coming back. I think he’s proven then wrong

[The Dunster]

Millar just failed to make a 2m pass to Ugarkovic. Please bring the Hoff on Carl.

[StannyCFCJET]

Millar just failed to make a 2m pass to Ugarkovic. Please bring the Hoff on Carl.

Burns And Hoolohan will come off at some point. Can't waste a sub on millar

[The Hacker]

Millar just failed to make a 2m pass to Ugarkovic. Please bring the Hoff on Carl.

Who cares now

[The Dunster]

Ffs Millar you are a freak of nature. Great run and finish

[Mark325]

for all his flaws as a footballer, it's great to have our rb get 4 goals in a season

[Grimario]

Millar just failed to make a 2m pass to Ugarkovic. Please bring the Hoff on Carl.

Glad he missed the 2m pass to Izzo as well.

[The Hacker]

We are gunna win the league

[The Hacker]

for all his flaws as a footballer, it's great to have our rb get 4 goals in a season

I agree with this

[Grimario]

I really like having a left back who can cross. That was really nice.

[The Dunster]

Pissants have thrown the towel.

[Retro Jet]

Bring on Ned Kelly ffs...
Scare the pants off these useless open goal missing P!ssants.

[MFKS]

Pissants have thrown the towel.

I know

These cunce will if the score stays the same will have lost 3 games more than us and be out of the 6 on Goal Difference only

Exactly how the **** are we coming 10th??

[The Dunster]

Carl has sorted out Katroumbis hasn't he. Kid looks pretty solid at the back now.

[Retro Jet]

Love seeing James Troisi on the losing end of this score line for a change.

[MFKS]

Carl has sorted out Katroumbis hasn't he. Kid looks pretty solid at the back now.

No

As soon as Jackson went down and Johnny K started playing in his natural position he started to look much better
He was doing better under Dean's and it ain't all Carl's doing

[The Dunster]

Ernie if you are reading this send your resume to Adelaide as I think a position will be available soon.

[StannyCFCJET]

Ernie if you are reading this send your resume to Adelaide as I think a position will be available soon.

They play like an Ernie team over the past two years. No idea in attack and shambles at the back

[Grimario]

They play like an Ernie team over the past two years. No idea in attack and shambles at the back

Nah, that's rubbish. Verbeek has benched players that play like shit whilst Ernie just stuck by them.

[Retro Jet]

Savour that one bois n gerls. We dont score 3 AND have a clean sheet in Saddle-Aid very often.

[baldrick]

Exactly how the **** are we coming 10th??

I dont want to steal Captain Obvious’ thunder; but poor results earlier in the season

[StannyCFCJET]

Nah, that's rubbish. Verbeek has benched players that play like shit whilst Ernie just stuck by them.

True

[380]

Ernie if you are reading this send your resume to Adelaide as I think a position will be available soon.

Couscous already done that along with telling those on the Vuck he should be there next over the work experience bloke Salvachau

[Captain Obvious]

Exactly how the **** are we coming 10th??
It is because there are teams with more competition points than us.

[Frodo]

Ernie is well known for always having good attacking teams. Even with the muppets, like Fitzgerald, we had he was still scoring goals. Did you actually watch any of Ernie's teams play? (P.s. that's a rhetorical question, you obviously had the game in front of you, just didn't pay attention.)

Did you watch Ernie last two seasons? We struggled to score goals

[MFKS]

Did you watch Ernie last two seasons? We struggled to score goals

Struggled to put the ball in the net because our players don't gave the skill sets required in front of goal

But we didn't have any problem creating chances under Bert that is not up for dispute

[StannyCFCJET]

Weve been scoring ok since Ernie left

[Frodo]

Did you watch Ernie last two seasons? We struggled to score goals

We had the 6th best attack last season.
We had the second best the season before.

This season before he got here we had the 2nd worst.

This season we had scored in every game other than City and Victory before he was sacked.

[Frodo]

Stats bitches!

[StannyCFCJET]

We had the 6th best attack last season.
We had the second best the season before.

This season before he got here we had the 2nd worst.

This season we had scored in every game other than City and Victory before he was sacked.

Are you saying he should not of been sacked?

[Frodo]

Are you saying he should not of been sacked?

Where did you get that? You said he didn't attack well. I proved you wrong.

Love from Frodo, a guy who loves Stats!

[Frodo]

Also, I'm still saying that McKinna should be sacked if that makes a difference.

[MFKS]

Are you saying he should not of been sacked?

Not saying that

We should have scored more this season under Bert than we did

Our finishing under him for the last 2 years has been wasteful big time


Defensively we were also honking under Bert

Under Bert it wasn't a case of we were not competitive on the pitch. We were just ineffective in both boxes under him

[Jeterpool]

Glad he missed the 2m pass to Izzo as well.

This made me laugh

[380]

They play like an Ernie team over the past two years. No idea in attack and shambles at the back


You kidding right , Seriously ?????.

We had a reputation for the most shots without finding the back of the net FFS.

Are we talking about the same Ernie who said resigning Roy was a priority and the club could not agree with Roy on a two year deal ?.

We are talking the same Ernie and Roy who is now back for a season and a half after half a season with the Roar, That Roy and Ernie yeh ?.

The same Ernie who was not provided funds to find a replacement for Wes, The same Ernie who was never offered the sort of funds to bring players with a wage demand you can be sure Ibini and Ledley would have commanded to come here ?.

The club got serious the moment Ernie left not a moment before. Ernie was given a Morris Minor budget ( not coupe S ) and told to go win Bathurst with it.

C'mon Stanny i know you are not a dill but that post was so far removed from reality.

[380]

You can be sure if there was a bloke standing in the goal decked out in Jets gear Millar would have put that out for a throw in on the opposite side of the park rather than scored a goal.

Put your house on that outcome, Christ he can't pass to save himself.

C'mon Stanny i know you are not a dill but that post was so far removed from reality.

The same Ernie who refused to get a replacement Assistant coach, The same Ernie who said no to new players coming in (Has it been confirmed what type of players they were?), The same Ernie who wouldnt play Bobby Burns over a CM/CB at LB who was getting rinsed every week, The same Ernie who wouldnt drop certain players who were not performing Dimi etc, The same Ernie who only has one style of play and never deviates even when it doesnt work, Same goes for only using certain players in the squad

[380]

Of course it was confirmed. Where were you when Lawrie was on NBN and quoted in the Herald as being offered up players who were " NOT " household names and were other A League club players who could not break into other teams match day squads.

Bert went so far as too say the last player offered to him was a player from another A League club who was yet to make his A League debut.

You said we were hopeless in attack, We were nothing of the sort with plenty of shots in a game. Bert said we needed Roy the club said no. If we were putting away half those chances we would be looking down the ladder now at most team as opposed to looking up.

Bert screwed up heaps but having a team incapable of great attacking football was not one them.

You obviously did not pay enough attention last season and earlier this season. Many games of kick and chase football

Ok your right the rest of us telling you otherwise are incorrect

[StannyCFCJET]

Ok your right the rest of us telling you otherwise are incorrect

Im not seeing everyone sharing your view and if our football was attacking and soo great as you said, Teams would not have figured us out after one season and Ernie would still be in the job

[MFKS]

Im not seeing everyone sharing your view and if our football was attacking and soo great as you said, Teams would not have figured us out after one season and Ernie would still be in the job

**** me

To give Merrick credit over the last year and a half even though we were not winning games for the most part we were enjoyable to watch
After sitting through years of shite under Couscous Jones Miller Culina Muppet Stubbins at at least we had a go at teams. Even this season we got stitched up in a few games under Bert where the difference in the scoreboard was how clinical our opponents were and how inefficient we were

FFS that game in Perth I think Perth had 7 shots and 6 goals at one point and we had 2 goals but more shots than them

[Jeterpool]

I assume we lost based on the discussion in here.

[Frodo]

I assume we lost based on the discussion in here.

I think people are a bit sick of Stanny constantly throwing Ernie under the bus needlessly. We all remember how bad this team can be under an actual bad coach.

Plus, Adelaide were extremely poor last night. That performance from them defensively was wooden spoon material. Happy with the win as always, just not convinced we have fixed many of the issues we have with the squad/team as yet.

[Jeterpool]

We can only beat what's in front of us. We beat them and kept a clean sheet away from home. We're 6 games undefeated - one off equaling our best ever undefeated stretch. We've got depth on the bench for the first time this year.

I reckon things are looking alright.

Adelaide were decimated with injury. We've all been there. We took advantage of it which I'm all for.

Teams hadn't figured us out Stanny. We were still having more shots at goal than our opposition we just weren't finding the back of the net.

Rope and dope worked once in boxing - not sure if it's ever been a winning strategy in football.

If the opposition had worked us out they would have limited our shots on goal.

[Captain Obvious]

I assume we lost based on the discussion in here.

The Newcastle Jets won the game 3 goals to nil.

[Jetkel]

How goods winning but.

This..

Why are we complaining or arguing or whatever about Ernie..

[MFKS]

Because Liverpool didn't play so we got nothing else to argue about

[belchardo]

I assume we lost based on the discussion in here.

That is gold. 🤣

[Alton]

Where was Bernie?

[Jeterpool]

Where was Bernie?

Failed a late fitness test, as did Arroyo

[The Hacker]

Fans get locked out of games just as we start winning. It’s the Gypo fault sack him

[Retro Jet]

This..
Plus, we are above the gypos and those useless Tards.

Why are we complaining or arguing or whatever about Ernie..

Fixed!

[white city]

How did Ledley look in his brief appearance

[Frodo]

How did Ledley look in his brief appearance

The game was over at that point. I wouldn't take anything out of his cameo.

[Jeterpool]

How did Ledley look in his brief appearance

Busy and enthusiastic.

He was energetic but almost seemed to get in the way of others - trying to be the second person in the press.
As Frodo said the game was over so I wouldn't tag into it too much.

I thought Wes had some nice touches as well

[Alton]

How did Ledley look in his brief appearance

He will be great for Stevie U
