[Misanthrope]

High scoring draw with United nabbing one late to square it up at 2-2.

 

[Non Terminator]

I got no idea with this one. Wouldn't be a safe bet any way.

 

[Jobdog]

Teams and ref in

Good to see Grant and Musilak given a run.... I reckon Sydney by 1, only because Culina isnt playing.

 

[Nevan_]

I'd expect Grant and Casey to be omitted from that lineup. Although, i'd much rather have Grant in for McFlynn than Musialik. Our defence has been good so far this season. This is the first big test for Keller and Colosimo.

 

[DragonPunk]

Sydney ftw 2-1 hopefully they aren't the only bright spot of the weekend like last week.

This loss was always coming, IMO we have not been convincing at all despite winning.

We have looked very good on the counter, but our general play is poor. Too many long balls, misplaced passes and turnovers in the middle of the park.

Kisel was very poor and has been substandard thus far. He flatters to deceive because he has a very good touch, and can hit a decent set piece. But his passing has been shocking and the amount of times he turns over the ball in the middle of park is criminal. Zero final product as well.

We aren't playing too many long balls anymore, thank god. I agree with you about Kisel. Doesn't he prefer to play out wide? I'm not sold on Bolton, his delivery from the goal is atrocious. How many times does he put the ball over the sideline?

Corica
Kisel
Gan/Bridge
Jurman
Necevski

I'd love to see this lineup. Brosque getting quality ball from the midfield, would cause some serious headaches to the opposition.
