ALM Rd 6 vs Victory (Home)

[Insertnamehere]

I’ll take a point from that. I thought we looked okay up to our goal, then they got back into it and we switched off right on HT. Came out and looked horrendous until the subs came on. Reec looks like a handful. They really brought energy we were so desperate for.

Nice summary

 

[LG__]

The usual suspects proving ever reliable, Reec made a handful of himself when coming on

 

[Huddo]

Yeah, Wilson can go now.

Not the first time this has happened but the score was just read out as 2-2 between the Marinators and Melbourne Victory. What the f**k.

 

[Josho Howe]

2 much needed points dropped. Very frustrating.

WU at home next weekend, big chance to get more points and heave ourself up the table a bit

 

[gemkayem]

Well done to Niz, a great servant to our club

 

[Meerkat]

Well. I guess it’s how you look at it. 3 points dropped then 1 point clawed back.

Sad when we are “happy” with a draw at home though. That is reminiscent of the bad years when we would be stoked.

 

[Coastalraider]

It’s progress.

That’s 4 points from 6 since the break - and that was the first proper window the gaffa had with this squad.

 

[Huddo]

Can MJ start being proactive?

Meme league.

His subs were brilliant. Changed the game and we were the only side capable of winning it at the end. Torres played well and Doka made a massive impact. This forum has lost the plot.

I mean in respect to the last couple of games.

Wilson and Torres started again.
Tulio did sweet FA again.
Di puzio ( our most consistent sub) should be getting more time.
Where is Noah Smith? (If not left back place him in to mid)
Our lack of attack centrally.
Our lack of or attackers reading the wings.
Our 2 goals were off 2 mistakes, you can't win titles of mistakes..
11 straight without a clean sheet.

Just back home and happy to say I was frustrated at the end.

That's a feeling I've not had for a while - that we were the better team in the last 20 minutes against a top four team and might've got the winner. Finally we're seeing the pace and energy again.

So basically... much better. Nizz was great - Fazz superb - Alou didn't do much except for his goal (which was excellent). The defence was mostly very strong and didn't give them much.

Doka looked great when he came on and linked very well with Nizz - needs to look up when he crosses though. Reec looked really promising. Can we call him Ray? Ray Jing Reec?

As for Wilson, will the last apologist turn off the lights on your way out?

 

[Allreet?]

Also, Torres was much better. Good pen also.

 

[Corsair]

King has done his best Faghani impression today

Very poor refereeing, for both sides.

 

[Allreet?]

I called for the pen instantly, from Bay 17... but was actually amazed it was given.

Bruno's goal was a worldie, really harsh of anyone to blame that on Dan, he held off Kaltak and megged someone (forget who) before Dan was needed to step in. Thought the back two had quite a good game and are gradually getting better as a pairing. Don't think Danny really had any saves to make?

It was positive and fighting back from a goal down will be good for team morale. Move on to next week and keep building.

For me, that was probably our best performance so far this season, still though with a lot to work on though. I thought our first half wasn't exactly good but it was improved to the way we've been playing this year and the last-minute goal was really a suckerpunch, it was a top finish but we really should've locked him up when it was 2v1 on the sideline so poor defending there. I thought it was game over when Victory scored their second goal but thankfully the boys brought back their "never say die" attitude which we haven't seen at all this season. I don't know about everyone else, but I saw some MJ ball going on, we defended really tight, especially in the second half, and were putting Victory under constant pressure which often forced mistakes out of them and we were constantly making overlapping runs out wide, however we still need to work on our crosses. Overall for me that was good perfomance and if we can confidently beat Western next week (which we should) then I expect that means that our season will be back on track. COYY

Played 35mins off decent football. So thats growth I guess.

Need a new keeper ASAP. 2nd was regulation if you can move.
Jing is very raw but he is a target.
How salty was Tulio. Stayed sat down when we equalised. He was filthy.
As above. Wilson is not an AL starter. He just isn't
MJ' complete lack of a plan B is the most worrying.
All the subs were like for like.
Very poor.
