17/18 HAL Round 25 | Newcastle Jets v Melbourne City | Sun 1st Apr 2018 5:00pm

lol This game is so rubbish all they can talk about is a players nervous sh!t!

Pato seems to have lifted us a bit.

Is that Gillet?

3 number 10s who all want to play in the middle so they cut infield and we have no width. Vujica and Georgogrvski off form. No partner for NTS who hasnt stepped up in boogs absence and two of those number 10s are luxury players and you need high workers around them which means we need Roy and I think Champess starting

Vargas experiment is over. He's not the same player post injury. I'd be reluctant to play him again and would not consider retaining him for next season.

Record over/set.
That's all we'll get from this season.
Hope we beat the sCCuM in two weeks but on that performance, nope.
Personally, I think we peaked v Sh!tney.

Someone needs to kick Vargas at training. Do 50-50s, air challenges, landing drills and doggies. He needs confidence in that ankle/leg. At this rate he is earning nothing but a bench spot for next game.

Boogard is a massive loss for us.

We've locked in 2nd place, all Ernie needs to do in the next couple of weeks is the following;

- Get Roy scoring again. Easy enough, if he scores 1 he will be banging them in for fun again.
- Get Vargas and Pato into the squad and fully fit. Work out the best way to play them, whether that means both playing or one off the bench so be it.
- Sort out the communication between Jackson and Topor. Make them sleep in the same bed for the next few weeks if he needs to. They need to cover each others weaknesses better. That has been Topor and Boogs strong points this year.

Nothing too hard to work out. Let's start booking our GF tickets.

You and Jeterpool need help, fairdinkum. The excuses for our rubbish football is terrible

We need to set the team up based on form not reputation.

Hoffman as well

We just ensured that we'll have to play those pricks in a knockout final in a month.
That's gunna be a fun game

The whole team just looks flat and lost

Mcgree looks considerably worse then his first couple of games, Pato and Vargas are drastically underperforming and the same can be said for Roy and we can’t pick a pass to save our lives. Ernie needs to really get some sense into this team, we don’t even look like we’re gonna beat the mariners at this rate and if we lose then that then the finals are already over

Where's the Member

Well that was fun. The thing that shits me is that Fux will write us off and start planning and tipping for a Smurf/City GF.
Aint over yet and we still have time but this is the team I dont want in the final. Their run suggests we will though.

This. He looked more keen than some others out there this evening. IMO with the exception of the first 10 mins the only other time we looked likely was when he was introduced.
