Aus Cup R16 - APIA vs Sydney FC - 30/8/23

Redmayne wearing the 22/23 third kit?

Looks like it, short sleeves too - rather the regular long sleeves for a keeper?

We look… kinda shit, so far.

We’re rustier than an old Torana parked on a housing commission front lawn.

Won’t score, won’t score, won’t score, then will concede a cheap goal on the counter in the 70th and then make a sub.

Definitely the team in pre-season against a club that’s just won the premiership in a 30 round competition.

Hollman was good against CCM, especially after the long lay-off, but struggling to get into this one. Would love to see JGR pushed into midfield as I reckon he’d boss it tonight, that he’s at CB again (last time was instead of Matthews, fair enough if he’s not ready, this time is for Gurd with Rodwell now back…) makes me wonder if that last foreign spot might go to a midfielder after all?

Would also like to see JK on for Woody much sooner than usual.

Somebody refresh me, why is Burgess on a two game suspension?

On the plus side, APIA don’t exactly look great either. Coughing the ball up all over the park.

Because he’s a dumbarse.

(Red card vs City in the semi).

Remember when the cup was a revolutionary idea that would bring the old teams and new teams together? It had so much promise.

Broadcast said still suffering from calf strain I think.

Quad strain, but yes a couple of weeks away he said

Think tonight is a magic of the cup night

I think Lolley seems to always have a few too many extra touches in the box when he should pass it earlier

One where we beat the greatest football team in the cosmos?
