A-League A-League Men Round 8 - Finally A Real Away Match For Auckland

[giggler99]

A-League men Round 8 after 7 rounds (excluding 'Unite' round) Auckland finally have an away match in Australia. Can they continue their unbeaten run on Sunday evening against Melbourne City at AAMI Park? The other match of the round to keep an eye on is on Friday night with Central Coast V Adelaide United the Mariners starting to hit form and Adelaide wanting to consolidate themselves in the top two. Should be interesting viewing.

They can never tear up our tarps.

 

[giggler99]

Thats a statement alright!

 

[giggler99]

cracker of a game in Sydney atm WU lead 3-2 after taking the lead being down 2-1 at HT now taking the lead again

 

[giggler99]

and now its 3-3!!

 

[giggler99]

Well that was a classic what a match!

 

[Exe Gesis]

Many back heel passes (and assists) this round so far. What have they all been drinking all of a sudden

 

[CakeEater]

Glory down 2-0 already.

Ross will be buying a tonne of green tarps if this keeps up

 

[CakeEater]

Make that 3-0

 

[AJ_2000]

Make that 3-0

Nothing worse when the goals keep flying in when you're trying to post .

The Jets haven't won since October and they're banging em in against the Glory

Defending wouldnt have looked out of place in d5 sunday league reserves after a big night out.

Why not let your team get beaten by a dink to the 6yard box with 2 defenders ball watching.

 

[giggler99]

wow Perth just when you think they couldn't get any worse

 

[Fabab]

Watched most of all the games today[laid up] how does brattan not get at least 1 yellow card?
Glory are now at rock bottom , Taggart will surely want out ,he was telling players where they should be and at times jets were nearly raffling who takes the next shot.

 

[giggler99]

yeah this is not a good look for Rubs, Brisbane and the league.

 

[CakeEater]

wow Perth just when you think they couldn't get any worse

Oh, just watch us get worse Giggles

It can't just be on the coach I hope Zdrilic actually gets a chance to at least play out the season it will be difficult through if results like tonight continue. The buck has to stop somewhere and its always the coach that cops it in the end. From the outside looking in it just seems like there is something seriously wrong at the Glory that goes beyond coaching the club as a whole looks broken. But this is the A-League it doesn't take much to turn things around just look at the Mariners from 5 years ago to now being back to back champions even Victory not so long ago under Brebner was getting pumped 6-0 7-0 against our cross town rivals no less. Just need to find and get the right people and the proper investment but the club needs to want to change too can't continue the way its going. A massive broom will need to go through the joint.

The playing list is worse than dogshit. That is the crux of the problem.

It already has had numerous brooms go through.

New owners, new head of recruitment new coach this is ultimately on them.

Gurantee we wouldnt have looked as shite under Staj.

We have Z grade talent bar Tags.

What's the go with delaying kick off due to the heat?

Hottest part of the day in Melbourne is 5pm . I'm out east and it's 34 and roasting here now.

Might be the only way to stop Auckland with the blistering heat

 

[AJ_2000]

Cop that Auckland, 1st time they're behind in a game.

City with some great early play getting in behind the defence.

 

[AJ_2000]

Finishes 2-2 with a late equalizer for Auckland keeping an unbeaten run ticking, but ends their winning streak.

Conceded a nightmare goal - but if you play strong back passes you run the risk....

 

[giggler99]

What a time for the keeper to make this kind of a howler

It's amazing that City were able to find a keeper worse at dealing with balls in to the box than Glover. After a great opening to the season he was dead set pants today.

Not to mention the lazy and unnecessary challenge from Atkinson that lead to the goal
