Stop it milos

aaargh

Ahh Alfie

Given that ALF belts it down the middle every time it was inevitable someone would save one.

ABJ is having a shocker

Oh dear.

My big concern is that we very rarely keep a clean sheet, so can we go through the second half without conceding?

I hate penalty takers going middle low, you bring the keepers legs into it.

Always go top bins

Love Alfie’s response to the saved penalty. Good on him.

I’m sceptical but, touchwood, we’ve played like we deserve a point.

Just one of these crosses will get to Maclaren and that’s all it will take.

Both he and Kosta. Baumjohann may come good in second half, but Kosta trotting around up on the left is a luxury we can’t afford tonight.

I’d hook him to Caceres to Mid and go with just Alf up front.

Retre is absolutely stinking tonight too. First touch always a bit too heavy , and inside, and predictable, and then puts the next team mate in trouble.

He’s doing a lot more defensive work than he usually gets away with so I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s affecting him.

100%. I was just saying to a mate I think this is more defensive work I’ve seen him do than the rest of the season combined.

That’s my concern too

But hopefully my concerns will be proven groundless.

ABJ isn’t going to do well if he has to track back. Need to change expectations.

On a side note, what’s going to happen to the ref.

The commentary team said something about him being back after a month’s ā€˜rest’ for a terrible penalty decision that he made (or didn’t make, I’m not sure as I didn’t see it when it happened.

But so far he had to be told to give a yellow to Griffiths (which in my opinion he deserved no matter what the commentators say) and also the red to Grant - again as clear a red as you can get/

Caceres on for ABJ. Well Caceres can’t tackle but at least he will suit the formation a bit better.

I hate this ā€œplaying for a pointā€ commentary. There’s no reason why we still can’t win this one easily. We’ve been a class above all year, now we’re just a half a class ahead with a player short.

Fuck these cunts. We’re Sydney FC.
