I don't need your respects thanks
I for one am keen for today.
If your going to be rubbish. Better of doing it with pride.
I'm pretty keen. But damned I won't be there to watch much, if any of the women though. It was a struggle leaving my mrs mother in Nowra. On the road now though so hopefully no delays or I will be pissed.
Sunday game, puddles everywhere (shoes likely to get wet through), likelyhood chance we will be scoreless again meaning we break the a-league scoreless draught record, no chance of winning.
Add to the fact I am on antibiotics means I have to watch this sober. Fml.
Nix 4-0 today anything closer is a bonus.
So if the 47 min passes and we without a goal are we all gonna rise and applaud. And if your close enough to Miller like I am yell some profanity
FB nerds be happy with our situation, everyone support more!.....lulz. we will score
Jets playing 4-4-2. Why didn't anyone here think of that ?
And we score.
Finally!
442. What a novel idea. Wish I'd thought it. No wonder SM gets the big bucks. Now if we can string more than 3 passes together
We might have 4 in midfield but we are being outplayed there
Joygasm!
He's brilliant this Miller bloke. Why hadn't anyone here thought about changing to a 4-4-2 formation ?
Well **** me! Plenty of time to lose though.
We'll park the bus. Just watch
Well.. This could get interesting.
If we concede one, we'll concede two.
Kanta's an idiot
Well there's a surprise. Bus parked. Keys thrown away and hang on by your fingertips
Eating above words now.
Squeaky bum cheeks time!
Victory! Ugly, but victory!
Thank fook for that....
andrew durante is the biggest grub in the league
could be my most hated player even if he was key to our gf win
Missed this game, overall what was the assessment of it? 3-1 actually representative of the game?
could have been up by 4 at half time.
unravelled in the second half and were looking long odds to hold on when kanta was sent off. luckily, we scored a great goal on the counter to put us out of reach.
wellington finished all over the top of us and should have scored another but i don't think they deserved anything from the game.
Pretty stoked with that. Thought they'd let me down. Though Kanta tried it was good to see. I can't wait to do it again in Brisbane but this time, with beer.
Rather interesting to see today's game.
We come out at home and had 5 shots before Milos scored
Rather novel idea to try and attack at home and put our opponents off their stride
We played 4-4 -2 and we looked a hell of a lot better
Though it could be argued we had 2 up front as Carney just wasn't tracking back
Alividoic looked a shitload better playing on right.
Maybe something in that
I thought we actually had a ****ing go in the first half About ****ing time
Negatives.
I understand we had 10 men for majority of second half but we parked the bus the entire half. Why??
The subbing on of Leonardo in injury time??
Bloke is coming back from injury.Game is in the bag. What's the point and why risk him?? Keep him off and rested FFS
All in all good to win for a change. Nothing to get overtly excited about.
Phoenix were very ****ing poor.
How Carney Alivodic Milos ran away from their back 4 being as slow as they are as often as they did defies belief
How where we lined up? We did 4-4-2 with Carney and Trif up front and the back 4 is self explanatory but I'm confused how our middle 4 where lined up. Was it a diamond with Kanta at attacking, Kitto and Enver out wide and Poljak at defensive or something different?
There's a lot to like about that win. Anyone who thinks we should have played a perfect 90 minutes of football needs their head checked. We finally saw some intensity in the first half and what a surprise, it lead to some well-earned goals. It's a shame Boogaard didn't get the first goal which the ref only had to wait 2 seconds for before realising he didn't have to blow for the pen.
Positives:
- First-half lift in intensity - the players were actually up for this game.
- First-half tactics - might have been a standard 4-4-2 but we've wanted Miller to tinker for a while now and he finally did it without going over the top. We also seemed happier to utilise the long ball down the flanks which paid massive dividends.
- First-half Milos - seemed to up the effort and it paid off at times.. amazing what a little pressure can do to the opponents back 4.
- Defensive line - I'll go as far as to say that was one of the most committed performances I've ever seen from our back four in pretty much any Jets season. Especially in the second half, and ignoring the reasons below as to why they had so much work to do, you can't argue that the amount of bodies that were flying in for blocks and the scrambling defence was fantastic. Although the goal was scrappy, the mids have to take some blame for that.
- Playing 35 minutes with a player less and still managing 1-1.
Negatives:
- The second half drop off - for whatever reason, the Nix came out firing and we didn't seem to have any plan of even stemming the tide. I know games fluctuate but we simply had no answer.
- Kanta's red - stupid act that could have cost us the game but you can't fault his enthusiasm. I just hope it doesn't cost us next week.
- Second half Milos. Should have been subbed earlier and more defensive pressure might have eased some of the pressure on our own defenders
- Our subs again were a little odd. The Leo sub was useless - he could have put on one of the younger blokes around 80-85 and told them to run like a headless chook and try to disrupt Welly's passing at the back
- Putting $15 on a 3-0 win which would have pocketed $400
Good post.
Have to agree about the scrambling defence and blocking.
It was fantastic.
The Nix goal was a combination of a quick free kick and blokes clocking off.
It could have been prevented if 1 or 2 of them asleep were on the job but you pay for mistakes at this level
Thought Alivodic had his best game all season too
