Well, at the end of the day...... we lacked creativity and real skill. There was touches of it from Nikola and Halloran but most of the team were left like rabbits in headlights. It was too much to hope that killer speed, a pull back and a tap-in were going to win in those conditions. We deserved to be three up at the break but lack of skill let us down. The bench was diabolically thin. Ryan Kitto is never going to be an impact player that saves the day. Hoping that McGree will return from injury and get the season back on track is farcical. With two tough games against Sydney and Perth ahead things aren’t looking good. The coach has to shore up the defence in the January transfer window and grind the opposition down. At the moment we’re sitting ducks and teams have worked us out.

It's clearly a handball. Sure he had his hands against his body to start. Then he turned his body away from the ball and and his arms into the ball.

I have seen a few handballs given in Serie A by VAR similar to last nights, if it is consistently applied then I wont have a prblem with it. But that is the issue, as I have also seen similar reviewed by VAR an not given.
For me as a fan, its having zero idea what the hell is going on that drives me nuts. E.g. why did Ams not call Beath to review the screen for the red card, yet called him over for all other reviews? Why does it take 5 mins to call Beath over in the first place? Why does Toure get a yellow on VAR yet Duke gets zilch? For me it is an absolute shambles akin to pot luck, unfortunately for AU, WSW have had some lousy decisions go against them but last night they got lucky with Duke as 1o men in that heat would have killed them in the heat.

For me Beath is a game killing referee who often ruins games with over officiatin or lack of feel for the flow, yet he let everything go yesterday , Ams is just garbage on and off the field and both should have a month or longer off.

Our season is in danger. Several poor performances in a row.

Let's get back to full strength and see what happens.

Not sure why McGree wasn't replaced by Troisi, with one of the back up midfielders moving into Troisi's current position. There is a lot more depth in that area.

Not good viewing.




I'm wondering about the harmony at the club.
Just a feeling.

I've been wondering that too. Troisi is an attacking player that we are playing deep. Surely we can push him up when needed. Lia and D'Arrigo could play as DMs.

Meanwhile, the official A-league Facebook page are calling last night one of the most exciting games this season. It was an example of many things wrong with the A-league to most people watching.Image
