I'd say my biggest concern is injuries - we're playing on a cow paddock just six days before our first ACL match.

We will probably field a similar team to the game against Oakleigh given the circumstances.

We're not seeing any hype about this match, are we?

The a league has lost Montgomery (best manager last season) Goodwin(top three player) and possibly Townsend in one week. 

The league is basically breadcrumbs now

Should be a cakewalk really.

Sky falling in/the world is ending? A-League Armageddon?

Rightfully imo, i think most of our fan base is more focused on the ACL next week. Not to mention this isnt a fixture we should lose in a month of Sundays.

[IssySG]

Hoping for a comprehensive win today, if for no better reason then so the Metrostars admin on twitter can sit down and shut up.

[kingofhearts]

If we lose the coach goes

[jw1739]

Any updates on our squad for this one?

[Zanty]

All we know is probably not Behich, Leckie or Nabbout

[moops]

I'm just happy football is starting up again, even if the cup is seen as a glorified pre-season. Our off season is to long.

[haz]

I hate Phil Moss as a commentator. Surely they can find someone a little bit more interested! 

[jw1739]

Can I watch it on-line somewhere?

Comical

[mattyh001]

FMD that's fucking shit 

[moops]

That Ayubi is giving us a bit of grief

 

[neio]

Souprayen is showing very little to say he is anywhere near Lam replacement 

[jw1739]

If we lose this Rado Vidosic should be sacked.

[KSK_47]

This is a fucking joke right?

[Bannon]

Absolutely putrid

[kingofhearts]

This is fucking pathetic. Should be 1 all, how did Max miss that.

Going to riot if we lose #radoout

[jw1739]

Can we actually score a fucking goal?

[moops]

well that was a half of football, they looked better than us. Time for rockets.

[Mr MO]

Boys look uncomfortable on what seams to be an AG pitch.

Best chance for Caputo open goal with awkward height ball from Arslan.

Hall doesn’t look good tonight.

Awful height with the layoff but should have scored.

I'm sure the surface isn't helping, it's weird if you have to go from grass to artificial.

He should have scored, open goal.

Yeah Hall isn't a fullback and it shows, out of position a lot.

 

[moops]

incredible save Jamie

[jw1739]

25 minutes to score?

[moops]

Antonis time?

Need a bit more creativity

[moops]

Looks better with Saki as the deep midfielder, for 20 seconds lol.

 Lopane been poor for me.

This should boost ticket sales for next week. We will be slaughtered at this rate.

[KSK_47]

Fucking finally!!

[haz]

Antonis is too good for us. 

[moops]

Great pass from deep from Saki, nice play and goal for Good.

[jw1739]

Is there extra time or does it go to penalties?
