I doubt any other club in the league would take him if we offered him up.
5 Your points on Sugar
What he got now 3 goals in 5 years here so he ain't much use in front of goal
My main issue is he constantly fails to do his job as a DM
We conceeded so much possession and territory in that game down to our midfield not controlling the game
The bloke is constantly exposed as not being anything without Kanta by his side
This constantly keeps happening with this bloke yet people still want to sing his praises
What exactly great did he do yesterday besides have our side playing on the counter getting put under defensive pressure from minute 1 and keeping our attackers running around chasing the opposition all day??
If that is considered a good performance from him then got help us as it made his teammates jobs infinitely harder
ill happily answer your question as long as you pay me the courtesy of re-reading my post first.
Because clearly you dont understand what i wrote.
I have read your post
My question still remains
ok cool, so seeing as though your question had nothing to do with my post ill let whoever it is addressed to answer it.
Also:
Griff, Stu, Jobe, Kanta, Hoff.
Sit yo ass down before replying.
I think Ridenton has a great football brain but lacks the level of technical ability to pull off some of the things he tries. There were times last night where he had the ball, turned and you could clearly see him SEE the play unfolding and attempt a pass... which then went to Perth.
Watching the game again, not sure how anyone can say we played poorly. Disappointed with the result? Absolutely. But our movement especially up front & with Uga pushing through from our half was outstanding.
It Farken peeves me no end when people just hang shit on players/coach/club because it’s the in thing to do, rather than assessing each player without a preconceived idea on how they’ll play. Ridenton & JK had one of the hardest tasks in the league last night restricting Castro & CI, both put in a shift & did a solid job. 1 goal conceded from a goal mouth scramble against that forward line is a terrific result.
Up front, every positive movement forward came through Fitz channel. Should of had a penalty. Links well with Dimi & Arroyo & gets behind the line as good as anyone. Finishing needs to improve but I also don’t think any were gimmes.
Great involvement from Arroyo, Uga was terrific, Moss pulled off a couple of tremendous saves also. Backline was solid.
I enjoyed watching us play yesterday. I don’t think we’re too far off.
Well said.
So who plays striker now the one we found is not available next week?
JK is a fine MF and serviceable CB....he is not a LB. I don't want to see the kid ruined.
He shut down one of the most talented players in the league. He's definitely not getting ruined right now, hes getting valuable game time.
I can see him being another Nick Cowburn. And that is the second time this season he has been caught out by a diagonal over his head to someone tracking behind. This led to the scramble and goal.
He did same against Roar last season and if he is staying there is a fault that needs to be fixed. True his overall game was better yesterday.
That is also a reflection on the poor coaching is Oz
They treat Fullback as an after thought and just dump any guy in there
GVE done it with Matt Thompson and Dappuzzo
Arnie does it with Blue Aids and now Socceroos picking Zullo and Rhyan Grant etc
We have had Hoffman Lachlan Jackson Cowburn Brillante Pepper etc play there over the years also
It is a specialist role and influences your attack and defence
Look at how much the Scousers get out of Robertson and Alexander Arnold in both attack and defence in their success of late
I actually think his failings as a left back, goal keeper, right winger and striker are why we are poor.
Thank you kind sir.
One day the people will read the posts before responding.
not sure how much they went on about it on the telly, but that push in the 1st half was certainly a thing wasnt it.
as much as i thought it was a foul and therefore a pen, it would have been pretty soft.
having said that im glad it wasnt overturned by VAR.
am happy for the ref to rule on it and move on. but geez i feel we are owed a tonne of these ones.
Yup, I said the exact same thing after seeing it on the big screen.
Stu - 3 goals in 58 games for the Jets.
Ugabooga - 3 goals in 55 games for the Jets.
The second coming indeed................
Now I'm standing to attention.
I thought it was as clear a penalty as they come. Fitz won the tussle, got front position & clearly got pushed in the back by a much bigger man. He fell sideways, you can’t dive at a right angle when running at pace mid stride & off balance. 95% of players let Grant deal with the ball & boot it into the stands without a challenge. He fought for it & should of won us a penalty outta nothing. The only question mark was whether there was a foul in the lead up but they gave a goal kick if I remember correctly, so they didn’t think so.
Also forgot to mention in the earlier post how good Jackson was returning. Top game.
