Harsh. He is a good player. But that move was a bit of a brain fart.
Doubt it. Dwight Yorke is simply announcing himself as a good coach of a decent team. He is head above Ante Milicic. Macarthur was tonight everything that Melbourne City a fortnight ago wasn't.
We never got anywhere near the back line, for the first 60 minutes. Their midfield (in the first half) did all the damage, especially with Davila quietly popping up and distributing the ball to Arzani and co.
Outpost
Being angry at being fouled. Uzkok surely storing up karma.
kungfu panda The brain farts are not new - its my only real criticism of him. Does everything else reasonably well, but gift possession in dangerous positions.

Kraev has been excellent so far. You can see from his moves that he is the current national squad member for a reason.
martinb Personally didn't think Elliot was great - esp. in the first half.
Kraev looked really good once again, as did Waine. MacArthur were very good tonight though, they have some dangerous players...
I think this team has potential to do really well, especially once we get Ball and Ugarkovic in the team. Lacked a little bit of quality tonight, but they showed flashes of it in our previous cup games.
WTF why does Waine get a card for that?
Sasse looks very good off initial looks. Reckon Kosta will be on the bench at this rate.
Kosta will need to work hard to keep up or he will find himself a second option for the attack.
That's a red card for fudges sake
Should’ve been red!
How did Wayne get a yellow before and that wsn't a red?
Ref hasn’t stamped his authority on this game enough should’ve rly been a red card for that foul and few players for continuous fouling
Terrible way to give it
oh dear
The ole Payne sail combo strikes again.
Payne done it again
Well that was sucky
That was disgusting. Whelp 😖
fair error considering we were pissing around at the back with it in the 86th min
Paine and Sail again.
Uzkok is a nasty piece of work. Baccus should have been off.
We should have scored from our chances. Toure’s composure the difference. And Sasse still adjusting.

Well this performance will have every Australian pundit picking us for the wooden spoon.
Might have to get used to a bit more of that this season. A reminder that we've strengthened the squad everywhere except in defence.
Typical from Payne tbh. Don’t rate him at all.
Yep. There was really no need for Payne to pass back towards our own goal, in the 86th minute.
4 mins to score 2.

completely disagree. this performance has us top 4, with Macarthur.
Macarthur's back line wasn't great. Our lack of firepower is going to haunt us this season.

we've hired Ugarkovic
There is a lot to like about what we are seeing here. Once our newbies gel we could be dangerous this season
Waine has been very good.
Everyone else the jury is out on, possibly with the exception of Elliot.

Such a missed opportunity considering Sydney FC down 2-1 in injury time vs Oakleigh and likely Brisbane the only other A-League team left if we had won.
yeah, could have been silverware
- Yes. Shame. Except for Pennington's Brain failures. He played well. He needs to stop that if he's going to succeed.
- As soon as he's off, there's no one winning the ball in the middle of the field.
Meh...
Waine looked very good tonight, strong, linking play well and for a right footed player his crossing off his left was excellent. Clearly putting on a show in front of the scouts.
Sasse looks interesting. Clearly quick, likes to move, but also seems to love a sharkty little dink over the top - so lets cut that out.
Elliott seems to get better as games go on - good engine.
We have 2 possibly 3 starters missing from the team tonight. Signs are still good.

Back four I'm more talking about. And what if he gets injured? The whole back third is basically what shipped 50 odd goals last season.

LG Lewis and Pennington are not doing that well.- Yes. Shame. Except for Pennington's Brain failures. He played well. He needs to stop that if he's going to succeed.

I just pray that playing at home regularly again will significantly build our confidence and stance on other teams.
