Do we have too?
R6 vs Perth Glory | Sun 2nd Dec | 7pm | Westpac Stadium
Perth are going to destroy us! Expect Rudan to want to play full on defensive mode, hoping to steal the game with a counter-attack goal.
Does the fact I still have hope mean I've lost all sanity?
After watching some of last night's game I think we signed the wrong Lawry.
Aw man, its like having to drag my arse to the cinema for a horror movie. Might aswell get so drunk that I'm blind so its less painful to watch.
Hmmm I am predicting a 0-2-8 formation! ;)
After watching some of last night's game I think we signed the wrong Lowry.
Oh no. No no no. This game could not have come at a worse time.
And by a worse time I mean it really should not be scheduled at all.
The fact that the Glory are such a good team might increase the gate
Woohoo, the distance derby.
Perth have Castro back too!, Gonna be one of them nights.

2-1 to the Nix. A lot of our talent is due. We're a better attacking unit than we've shown so far. If that Williams, Burns Krishna combo had made it 2-0 at half time everyone would be back on the belief train intensely right now. This game!

I keep optimisitcally hoping it's going to click every game... so far it just makes it hurt more.
Come on Sunday.
Do we have too?
why not make it 2 for 1?
Weenix are playing Southern United, 3pm KO at Newtown Park - finish at 5 enough time to get across town for the Perth game

I have this annoying thing called a family that gets in the way of me watching all the football I would like..
Far more appealing than either Phoenix side.
I have 0 faith in us right now, so I expect a 4-0 thrashing.
Even in the darkest days with Darije I still feel we had it in us to come up with something. Now? Nope.

Last season you knew we were gonna give up goals, but you kind of felt that we might score some too, especially while Vidosic was still here.
This year, we're still giving up goals, but you can't see us even buying one for most part. Makes going to the games very soul destroying.
and so much more expensive with all the extra booze needed to numb the pain

Except last game we lead 1-0 for most of the first half and lost down to two own goals
Two own goals is that a new A League record in one game?? At least this time Dura wasn't scoring one.

At the start of the season I think most of us knew we were 1 or 2 short up top.

Jesus wept, we are saying that Kalezic > Rudan now?!?

I don't really see where I said anything about coaching, but if we take the first five games of the season across the last two seasons as a sample, we played better football last season, although we won fewer points (mostly due to chucking leads at home). And we were capable of scoring, we got 6 in the first five games last season compared to 3 this season.

We had a striker and Vidosic. Then we got to complain about our inability to score from 1 on 1s.
We started strong last season and then unravelled. Hoping for the opposite here. And we've looked a threat at set pieces, something we haven't managed for years. Our keeper is saving us a goal a game. We need more from our midfield and attack. Add a goal scorer and have any of our attack find form and we'll be on our way. I hope this is a longer term project- and hope we can support it as fans and that we get something to cheer about soon.

On the field from what we’ve seen, absolutely. Man management is a different story
We played better football when Vidosic Sen was involved... once he left, the football turned completely dire. Don't give credit to Kalezic

That's a pretty simplistic narrative; for example, it completely ignores that in January this year, after Rado had gone, we beat both grand finalists from the last season in a space of about 2-3 weeks.
I'd say that rather than having this playground discussion of this coach is better than that coach, the real big issue is that over the last three years, we've had 5 different managers (if you count both Des and Greenie), a few different players (and some same ones too) yet no-one was able to build a successful team.

A constant feeling of uncertainty is a big part of it IMO. No security for anyone.
A manager who can reward the Manny, Siggies and Ifills with long contracts gets a settled more focused squad.

We have to move away from Five at the back and Two defensive midfielders. That's Eight players spending most of the game in our own defensive third. The remaining Three players cannot control the midfield and attack to score goals.
We all love FREE pizza! ?
