ALM 22/23 Macarthur v Jets 8/1/12 3pm

[belchardo]

Macarthur have the privilege of making us look ordinary this week.

Win and we go back into the 6. Lose we stay where we are for the moment.

Going to be a slog watching this one i think.

[turbojetfireV8]

enlighten me why we play Grozos every week, I can't figure it out...

[mic22]

Piscopo wtf

[Hunter403]

43 minutes....typical effing jets.....

[belchardo]

Piscopo wtf

Anything he can do Dane Ingham can do better.

What a chump. How is this guy making a living from football?

[Bremsstrahlung]

Ohhhh dear.

[samcan]

Mikelfkwit

[Maito Mitch]

Poor Ingham. Sun was in his eyes

[mge61]

If this club weren’t so hilarious you’d cry

[belchardo]

Did these guys have a bet about who could shank a pass/shot/cross the most?

[Mark325]

Put last seasons attack in front of this seasons midfield and defence and we'd be a fantastic club. As is, we really just never replaced Penha, Boumal, Yuel, Silvera and Savvas, and as a result we have a worse version of Mikeltadze

[Hunter403]

Dismal....but we have won the possession stats.
Clueless in front of goal. Useless in defence.
We have a collection of useless fullbacks and our best left back is still in Wellington.

Can you be clueless if you don't have enough skills to actually have the ball under control in front of goal?

[Hunter403]

What a lame match. Both sides were poor. Beats the f^&* out of me how Macarthur are 4th. Pretty obvious why the Jets are where they are.

Oh, and will someone please kick Arzani into next week? What a dick.

[belchardo]

i feel like i need to apologise to my eyes for making them sit through that.

How can professional footballers not be able to control a simple pass? Or put a simple pass in the right spot? How can a coach be seemingly so bereft of ideas? One thing they should be able to do is keep the talk up but we don't even seem to be able to do that.

This season is done. Play the youngsters and see what we've got.

[Maito Mitch]

The bloke has so much ability. Shame he plays in slow motion like he almost doesn't give a ****.

Agree with Durante in the post game, the team is rudderless. No one leading them around and taking control.

I miss Boogs

[belchardo]

the team is rudderless

we also seem to be missing sails, a hull, a keel and a poop deck.

[Mark325]

After the game, when the team came over to the fans, who chanted and clapped for them, Arthur told them to stop and said, "I don't think I'm the right person for the job anymore," and walked off.

He's correct. You must coach the cattle you have not the type you wished you had. We need a scrapper coach.
He needs a higher league with a very capable squad.

[My2BobsWorth]

Two questions, does the memba still have his banner? and can we ban the gypo from ever commenting on coaches or just ban im completely

[My2BobsWorth]

P.S That was an unhappy team out there today, unhappy teams don't win

[Hunter403]

there is plenty of poop

Yep agree, There is certainly some inconsistencies in the Boss's approach to team selections.

Some players seem to be able to play poorly week in week out and maintain there spot in the team whilst others put in one shocker and get the ass the following week.

I am not a Papas fan at all and never really understood why people rated him so highly however on this occasion i think the appearance of discontent amongst the squad is not just directed at Papas but also the players seemingly frustrated that the club has not been able to recruit real quality in key areas.

They just look a totally switched off group IMO and the ownership woes and lack of funding is only compounding the issue. If the club can't come up with the means to turn the tide over the next few weeks in the market i fear for just how ugly things might get.

[Macca]

I find it hard to put too much blame on Papas. He just doesn't have the resources at his disposal.
B2 and Jenkinson both deservedly on the bench after poor games last week - but the replacements are Ingham and Grozos/Timmins and both let him down.
Where do you go from here, some players still have to take the field.

We are missing O'Neill big time.

The second half was pretty hard watching and left me feeling frustrated. But the first 40 minutes of the game was the most I've enjoyed watching us for at least a few weeks.

[Alton]

Grozos not the answer, Piscopo needs to play closer to Beka, Sotirio no left foot and very poor decision making.

[Macca]

Hoff Elsey Natta McGarry
O'Neill Thurgate
Buhagier Reno Sotirio
Beka

Jenkinson back for Hoff if his off the ball work improves.
B2 can come off the bench again for half an hour, one of the only outfield players to look good in the second half.
