Sydney FC Coach Record – Graham Arnold 50% win ratio (7 wins, 5 drawn, 2 losses)

KEY FACTS:

General

• The Jets are currently 8 matches without a win against Sydney.
• The last victory in Sydney was a 3-2 result in Round 2 of Season 8
• The Jets haven't conceded a first half goal to Sydney in their last 6 meetings.
• The Jets are currently undefeated away from home this year.
• The Jets have scored the first goal in Sydney only 3 times but have won the match on each of those occasions
• Should the Jets fail to score in the first half of this match, they will equal the record of 8 consecutive matches without a first half goal.
• The Jet have kept their opposition scoreless in the first half of the last 4 matches.
• Sydney haven't scored a goal in the last 250 minutes of play.
• The Jets have won both Friday night matches this season.

Players

• Ben Kantarovski will make his 100th A-League start for the club this weekend.
• Vedran Janjetovic has kept 6 clean sheets in the last 7 matches against the Jets
• Enver Alivodic has made 17 consecutive A-League appearance for the Jets.
• No Jets player received a booking last week. This was the first time this season. Ben Kantarovski and David Carney are still one booking away from an automatic suspension.
• After the substitution of Alivodic last weekend, Jason Hoffman and Mateo Poljak are the only remaining players to have played every minute so far this season.

Coaches

• The last 3 results against the Jets at home for Arnold have been drawn.
• But the Jets have only ever scored 1 goal in 5 matches against a Graham Arnold coached home team.
• Scott Miller used all 3 substitutions for the first time in 5 matches last week.

Doomed lose Miller out.
Football will be abysmal.

Shit club.

If only...
Can't see any points until Saddle Aid @ home Rnd 11.

One thing is for sure , Arnold would have already planned a topic of discussion and something to bitch about after the game to deflect attention from the fact his team is playing some of the worst football of any team in the comp.

Nah after Rd10 Adelaide will sack Amor and we will get the usual team rebound with part time manager.

The Cove apparently joining the fan boycott this weekend which will suck the game dry of any atmosphere - can only benefit us.

That's a shame.
Wonder if they'll do a token gesture or go to the wall like their comrades and miss the whole hour of one game of A-League football

:brrr:

I am doing a boycott of the game too.

What the **** is the idea of having a game on between 2 NSW teams on a Friday night??

If it Saturday or Sunday no problem.

To get to game would have to get off work at lunch time lose a few hours pay and being i work Saturday too that ****s up Saturday too

****ing stupid idea. Put the games involving 2 NSW teams on a Saturday and make it easier for both sets of fans to get there.

Call me plastic all you like but i aint sacrificing 1 and a half days pay to watch Millertime park the ****ing bus again when i can catch it on TV and still make work

FFA out

If anyone was serious in kicking the FFA in the ass they would be organising a rebel competition.

How would you get A-League players who would be putting their careers on the line to join?

Speaking of a rebel competition, at least when Kerry Packer started the breakaway WSC in the 70's he pumped his own money into it to make sure it got up and running and on the right track from the word go.
Lowy on the other hand apart from his own Westfield company providing some sponsorship deals has not put in a cent of his money, relying on government funding and loans and expecting blokes with a lot lesser money like Con and Tony Sage to keep pumping their own money into clubs....but ran FFA like a dictator from the time he took over till just recently when he handed over the baton to Lowy Jnr.
