Round 6 - Central Coast vs Sydney FC - 1/12/18

In that case, Brosque is too old for this shit.

Ninkovic has had a shocker

Le Fondre won’t score because I finally bit the bullet and made him captain of my fantasy team. But I demoted Ninkovic from captain so he’s a good chance.

Ummm… What the fuck. This is peak A-League.

Pitch invader with a difference. What next? A granny with a walker?

Make a fuckin Sub Corica

Sub Ninkovic off before he permanently injures his knee. What the fuck is corica thinking

Yay Ivanovic!

Hope thats nothing too serious for Retre

Ivanovic looks like he’s about 15

Ivanovic is showing some real enthusiasm. Nice idea with the round the corner pass to Grant there, even if it didn’t come off.

Devlin deserves more than 2 minutes.

Fuckin Australian referees. No yellow for that foul on Ivanovic?

We showed way more when Ivanovic came on. He has a directness which Retre doesn’t have.

Honestly though no one was great tonight. Brosque and ALF did a lot of work to pounce on the scant opportunities we had and obviously O’Neill scored an absolute cracker in an otherwise mediocre game. Other than that I’m struggling to think of good games from any players. Rhyan played with a lot of energy but I’m struggling to think of too much he provided.

We weren’t great, but important to still win these kind of games. Mariners are utterly spineless, though. As soon as we got that penalty, they lost their impetus completely.

Most of the other teams in the league would have destroyed us tonight…well not the Nix

Not a great performance but a better second half and we go the points which is what matters most in the end.

Interesting the decision to go with Ivanovic and Devlin off bench in preference to Lokolingoy.

Corica has to show us he’s got it as a first team coach. Being a poor man’s Arnie is not good enough, because trying to be someone else is always a route to failure.
The Buhagiar injury has really messed with his #1 way of creating something different. Without Trent there, it’s just been a fairly sterile attempt to do the last 2 seasons with slightly the wrong personnel.

Great to win when we were far from our best. Corica did well though because we came out much improved in the second half so Im not getting the criticism of him on here. Similarly its 6 games into the season and people are already wanting Jop (and Siem) gone which is just madness when the season is so fresh and players are still settling in. Id be surprised if Jop has played many games as hot as the last two. When you factor in whats there to add to the squad Im far from worried.
