Faty replaces Powell on the extras list, Pearce is in for Necevski (who replaces Izzo). Neill remains the additional player.

1: Of Sydney FC’s 45 goals this season, 31 have come after the half-time break at 68%. But Paul Okon’s men are the second half specialists, with 76% (20 out of 26) of their goals in the last 45 minutes.
2: Central Coast have conceded 12 goals from dead-ball situations this season, only F3 rivals Newcastle Jets (13) have a poorer record in that department. Conversely, the Sky Blues have proved to be quite proficient from set-pieces, with 10 of their 45 goals coming from that avenue, while letting in just four at the other end.
3: Central Coast are undefeated in their last four away games against New South Wales opposition; they have never enjoyed a longer streak in such fixtures.
4: Sydney FC have now kept 12 clean sheets, twice as many as any other team in the competition.
5: The Mariners have been shown just 39 yellow cards so far this season, fewer than any other team; though only two teams (Wanderers 5, Melbourne City 4) have been awarded more red cards than the Mariners (3).
6: Newly called up Caltex Socceroos Danny Vukovic and Rhyan Grant are the only players to have been involved in every one of Sydney FC’s competition-high 12 clean sheets so far this season.
7: Roy O’Donovan has scored in three of his last five games against Sydney FC, though each of his goals have come when the Mariners hosted the Sky Blues.

Will be missing this one live unfortunately due to going to see the Book of Mormon (of course this is the week we play on Friday night!). Looking forward to the replay though and hope Ivan can have a great game to show some of the Sydney FC pricks.

Enjoy the show! I'm headed there Saturday night.

Disappointing that we got Shaun Evans, Jonathan Barreiro is the fourth official for the Victory vs Glory game wish we could have had him as he's the best referee in the A-League imho.

 

[Timmah]

That stat about yellow cards - that would place us in prime position for the fair play award - just one season after finishing at the bottom of those standings, no?

Danny`s antics should have been nipped in the bud long before his GF brainfart.
It`s taken a long time for him to get back in the aussie squad but I believe marriage, kids & personal heartbreak have done him good & he`s a better person for it.
Also a better keeper for it too!

He deserves his chance and has worked extremely hard for it, still feel a bit bad for Brad Jones though.

 

[Big Al]

So is Faty just an admin error, put in to be left out
Or will Posco bite the dust for his poor passing and Faty and Rose be a new combo.

A final goodbye you can play against SFC, let out everything you and your cuz feel about them then piss off
