We have too many good players cancelling each other out. We had the balance right but with Nabbout gone, no Boogs, and a few unfit / out of form players forced into the team I'd say our season will end in the semi final.
They should kick us out early to save the embarrassment. This version of our team has NFI what they’re doing.
champness on for mcgree please ernie.
i won't mind when mcgree goes back to belgium.
and looking for positives, the best moment so far for us was vuj getting wide and forward to cross into the centre. we look much better coming from way wide.
Vargas should get hooked. Blokes finished and is not marquee standard anymore.
Drillbits on 4 Perf. No excuses for not scoring now
Mcgree is ****ed. Get him off ffs
Perth are shit. Still working on a word to describe how bad we are.
we can't score against Liam Reddy
how did it come to this?
our shape in midfield and defence is terrible. there basically is none.
Confidence is shot in more than half the players. How does ernie repair this wreck? I get that it is a nothing game.....but 4 games now and we have been well below par
We look better without Cowburn. Mcgree does at least
can't make this shit up. $1.5b for stadiums in sydney and our ****ing lights don't even work properly.
now the crowd is doing that phone light thing
that's it, I'm out
Kenny Lowe looks like a Cat Burglar.
we can't put that team out again.
no mcgree, push hoffman forward, georgevski back in, maybe even champness for vargas. and kanta back into midfield, perhaps cowburn into CM (leaving champness out in that case).
Wasnt as bad as last week. How aids are refs against us. Are we the only club thay doesnt fall down when touched
best part of the night tbhQuote:

Actually had a glimmer of hope the game would be abandoned when they went out and we could put the New Jets out another time n piss these Old Jets orf...
Lacklustre performance.
Perhaps some thought Beath might do a better job in the dark.
On the upside anybody who was stupid enough to think Chris Beath was some sort of competent official got a reality check.
Take out Vargas
Move Kanta into midfield
Bring in Crazy George
Move Hoff up field
Roll the dice with Jackson
Play Joey instead of McGree.
Use Pato off the bench.
We will win. Not much to fix.
Team has become defensive and Ernie moving Kanta to CB has signalled vulnerability to oppositions. We got where we are being fearless in attack and not giving a **** about leaking a few goals.
We need to think and play that way again.
Experiments failed Ernie. Lets go back to what was working.
You watched the Jetstream post match video? I said exactly the same.

Vargas is a burden atm: Pato had a positive impact on the game, at least he runs. Sorry for Vargas, but he's not fit and he's still scared: trial games are over, I wouldn't even put him on the bench in the next 2 games. Ernie had to give him a chance and I agree with the experiment, but that's enough thanks.
I don't think we can afford to bring Hoff forward: Vujica is underperforming, we need Geo and Hoff in defence.
The whole tram looked very slow, we were outran in all the areas: we looked like a preseason game - the only explanation could be a heavy load at training in preparation for the finals.

I thought the brown sub was a positive one until he went off again with the same injury. Amateur hour there.
I wanted kanta in the cb position and I still think he has a role there until boogs comes back.
If we can’t fire up in front of what is expected to be a large away crowd next week then we don’t deserve to be playing this finals football.
McGree has talent but lacks a lot of ticker. Already has his head in Europe and think he doesn’t have to work still. Works better centrally and is definitely not giving us much out wide like he should be.
Team for next week..
Duncan/moss
Hoff jackson topor George
Kanta sugar
Joey Dimi pato
Roy
This is exactly the team I suggested before the City game.Quote:

Just give Jackson the less testing warm up v Scum. He was almost MOM against Sydney new year ffs so he is capable.
Only variation I would consider would be to push Hoff up forward right and keep Ivan in.
As much praise as the CB pairing of Boogs and NTS get, I think a lot of credit goes to Ugar and Kanta for their holding duties. Their consistency and quality of their game this season has helped our defence a lot.
Imo, playing with NTS, Ugar and Kanta in their usual positions means there is only 1 vulnerability (new element). Dropping Kanta back opens up a DM issue and a CB issue.
I agree with the above lineup. Don’t care who plays CB with NTS, just get some in form players on the pitch.
Probably a better call, and bring Joey on for the final 20-30Quote:

Jackson may not be great but he isnt that bad and if the rest of the team plays with the intent they have in the past he would be fine.
I thought Pato was good off the bench last night.
We all agree....bring back Jacko!

In this case, you also get an additional player :DQuote:

I agree with benching Ronald and playing Dimi at 10, bloke needs to be on the ball as much as possible
