A review of A:League games to come.

To find out Why Adelaide must thrash the Mariners, and Wellington beat the Glory, and who will be sent-off tonight in the Sydney Jets clash:)

Sydney v Newcastle should be an interesting game, especially if Juninho plays and I'm intrigued by Adam Biddle.

Newcastle if Joel Griffiths plays will always cause Sydney problems, but surely Joel will be fired for this one.

Isn't he due a send-off?

Adelaide v the Central Coast.

I just would like to see the Mariners smashed! Just once. By an Adelaide team full of attacking options.

United are clearly going to miss Michael Valkanis and I would like to see Bobby Petta play a few games in a row in the more creative, less physically demanding midfield forward role.

He could really pull a few strings, but is the guy ever fit?

The Mariners well they're great, and physical and top of the league, but they just need to be thrashed. Just once. Should anyone think they are the greatest team the A-League have ever seen as they get further and further away from the rest of the pack a good thrashing would show what they are. A great hard working team with a load of points.

They aren't that good, and if they are they need to play a more attractive brand of football.

Wellington v Perth

Now Perth need a win and a few goals. But I want the Phoenix to get up. Because the crowds in Wellington have been sensational and I have loved hearing the atmosphere from across 'the ditch' as the commentators love to say, every week.

But I've grown to love or am growing to love Smeltz, Felipe and Daniel. And I'm even thinking about Michael Ferrante as he played a couple of good balls recently. it truly surprised me.

I think Sydney were lucky that Griffiths hurt himself in the warm up. Newcastle are far too dependent on him, and it showed today in his absence. There was a complete lack of midfield, and the distribution from the defence was woeful.

thought the ref was a numpty, hardly protected the play makers and in this league every play maker needs a bit of protection

Adam Griffith was wasted in midfield but I guess hard man Stephen Laybutt has to play somewhere.
