Nah man. Last time i looked will and is are two different things.
Ridenton was not responsible for us not winning this game
Matter of fact it was his effectiveness that gave us ample opportunity to win it
Our useless keeper FFS Italiano made me wish BK was here still and our misfiring attack cost us
Defensively we were quite good and in attack we were great getting the ball into the Victree final 3rd.
Our efforts in both boxes were ****ing poor
Simply not good enough from coach to striker. Not gonna signal players out and whinge and bitch, as a whole didn't do enough.
To signal him out on the last 2 games shows how clueless you are. I have fox too and know for a fact the nux were gutted to lose him.
By all means target him, blame him for every loss. Just means you're incredibly narrow minded and your views on the game will become increasingly misguided.
I prefer to judge the team and the players each game and then clear the slate for each match.
So now you making it personal having a crack at me all because you can't respect my right to have an alternative opinion to yours on a players ability . Grow the %^&* up.
Like i would be the first on here to single a player out as ordinary IMO which i can have FFS.
Do i call you out with a personal remark to justify my difference of opinion to yours.

But your point is irrelevant as despite your dislikke of Ridenton it isnt him costing us games. It is him actually doing things right which is giving us ample opportunity to win games
Sure as shit we are ****ing it up behind and in front of him on the pitch
But our midfield hasnt been our problem and isnt our problem
one thing that stood out tonight was the lack of composure.
so many times balls were played forward and our backs and mids tried to either 1st time a pass or just hoof it forward.
this was going on despite most of the time our blokes had all the time in the world to control the ball put a foot on it and do whatever.
to go with my 'lack of confidence' angle, Hoff has been technically poor last few games. his first, 2nd and 3rd touches have been poor. effort is always A+ and he gets in the right spots. but man oh man his short passing and ability to dribble out of situations was pretty horrid.
It was good to see Ugaboogaman run the ball a little more too. a lot of our 'half' chances came from him dribbling around his first man. and opening up the play.
we are better than our table position says, but we are absolute fodder for a good team because of our shortcomings. its just that there arent any 'good' teams in the comp this year (maybe Victory with full squad).
we should be confident of beating anyone. stating against those sky blue shits next week.
without diverting from the main point about how bad we are, the biggest issue of the whole A-League season is that its obvious Valeri and Brown are in the sheds pre match looking at each other front on saying "yeah mate, youre sweet".
Troisi is over the other side, mouth agape wondering how these 2 idiots cant see the forest for the (lack of) trees.
