The Paramount Player Index seems to be determined by the ā€œvibeā€ of how the canteen lady is feeling.

If you get 2 goals and an assist and don’t get MOM when do you get it? These metrics never take into account that you are unbalancing a team, but if we were shit, so which of their hacks were better than 2 goals and an assist?

Talk about dougies lack of application in defence is fair and warranted, but lets be honest, he was our most dangerous player today by a fucken mile.
Not sure why Lolley can do no wrong but with Costa the general consensus seems to be get fucked.

True but he scored two goals and an assist, that’s always going to pump the stats - but I agree the P+ player index doesn’t seem to have a lot of logic to it at the best of times.

When we play so shit we need a scapegoat, which is fair because it’s human nature to find the root cause of problems. I thought Sena was more of a problem that most players except maybe Popovic and HDM.

Sorry to triple post but another thing on my mind is - what has happened to the team that pushed a full strength Sanfrecce Hiroshima all the way away from home? It’s crazy how bad we’ve become.

Goal keeper is a massive issue for us. Redmayne is clearly cooked but HDM has not looked good so far.

Archie Goodwin played a lot better than costa and got two goals.
Sena was second in their stupid rating.

I didn’t see Sena in second, that’s truly a head scratcher.

Lads, I went to have a shower minutes before Sydney FC scored their 2 goals.

We have found the answer to scoring. Everyone get in their bath for the big blue!

Against the shittest defense in the league? I love it that we get the glass half empty at both ends.

Result just papers over the cracks. Something has happened behind the scenes because we have fallen off a cliff.

With the games on this weekend, we could end up as low as 10th, only above jets, Perth and Brisbane… 3 teams considered to be the worst in years.

Tally in the post game catch up again saying it’s players fault because they changed things up from last week with regards to leaving open space. Funny that yet we again let in 3 fucken goals.

We will get spanked by victory.

Thank fuck for Douglas Costa. Was the only player of ours who performed even before his second goal and the equaliser, definitely showing his experience and talent.

If only we could defend…

Yep this is the one I’m very worried about, we could really get a hammering. Need to lift for that one the way we have for games against Wests this season and at least put in a good performance. A positive at least is that Victory have lost their manager so that might help us. Interesting to see how they do tomorrow night vs City.

Rhyan Grant’s 300th A-League game, a home game against Melbourne Victory.

Take some liberties, Bert!

That was real interesting, the bit about him actually being happy with the counter press and numbers even after we failed to win the ball. May have just been bullish, but sounds like he genuinely doesn’t see a problem and has put it down to bad luck. If that’s the case then it’s no wonder we’re not seeing any improvement.

We can attack we know that imagine if we could defend we’d be close to 1st spot on the ladder.

Completely agree.

Again we created plenty of chances and were able to convert a few. Wood getting an early pen and Lolley scoring the 1 on 1 might have been a different game all together.

Again it was our midfield losing the ball from really silly mistakes and our inexperienced defenders especially Gurd and Popovic not being able to deal with it.

How did Matthews not make it on the pitch is weird. He must have signed an overseas contract and leaving in Jan

Also did anyone see what happened with Lolley? He stormed down the tunnel when he went off. Was he just pissed at Ufuk or injured?
