Thanks

A very good bottle of red is cushioning the pain, and is making us looking better than we are. Still, a very underwhelming effort tonight.

 

[MrCelery]

What . A. Joke.

Any positivity I had last week is gone.

 

[Navy and yellow]

Dire!!

 

[greenlig]

Yeah that's hard to watch. Without Tav we have very little vision, without Monty we have little mettle. No depth to cover those two. We can hold the pill all we like but holy heck someone please do something interesting!! Feel sorry for Roy, absolutely nothing happened tonight.

 

[tim...]

Hard to watch. Need our experience back in the middle. They look listless and our frontmen are getting zero service.

 

[Wombat]

Berry and Rose are simply not good enough at this stage.

Losing 3.0 to Wellington is horrid stuff.

Without Tav and Monty we are exactly the same as under TW.

Spend some money MC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was positive we were shit last week and i'm positive we were shit again this week.

 

[soccer mad]

That was bloody hard to watch we were way below par actually quite shit can't think of anything positive to say .

When plan A isnt working.............stick to plan A.

Modern coaching and why its not working. We dont have the players for his system, MC isnt going to invest but he just plugs away with what he has seen doesnt work. Maybe its his way of forcing the club to invest to be competitive.

 

[scottmac]

Yep that was shit. Plenty of ball in good areas but no threat. I've seen posts where people say we don't need a10. today proves we do. no creativity. no killer ball. no delivery.

 

[Big Al]

We have good depth and a strong midfield. Two experienced and two up and comers. Just lost both experienced players at same time for a few weeks. It's painful reinforcements not needed just having some bad luck with injuries which can happen.

The young lads just don't have enough fight and can't do it for 90mins

#10 is a major problem.

Did Roy even touch the ball and he was steaming when they showed his face with a couple minutes left.

Defence was alright, first goal was terrible but second a wonder Goal and third a great counter when we pushed everyone forward in last minutes. The set piece was horrible when everyone is on the 6yrd box

Monty fouls a lot but that is better than Rose and Berry giving to much space.

Can't underestimate how good Taveras has been and how much the young lads look to him to take control.

The other teams are starting to block Connar and Fab/Trent off now. Need to go up another gear and change it up

 

[Wombat]

No one that knows about Football thinks we dont need a 10. Its as obvious at the fact we need a quality CB.

 

[tim...]

It's plainly obvious we need a couple of players in those key positions but don't we have to wait for the transfer window anyway?

 

[Wombat]

Donachie was available as a CB but he went to Victory and looked great tonight. Just watch Victory tonight to see how its done.
The other bloke who always impresses me is Shane Lowry of Perth.....a real defender and way better than Williams.

 

[Wombat]

It's plainly obvious we need a couple of players in those key positions but don't we have to wait for the transfer window anyway?

Yeah...lets make it clear to MC early....................who is prone to blaming everyone else for the shit he gets us in.

Most sane people would get the key people in before the season starts!

Leeds United's chairman, who is equally as flakey as Mike just got banned for 18mths. Maybe we can all learn from that...lol.

Brilliant comment, Okon doesn't change things when we are behind, same old same old. City, Sydney FC, Victory and Brisbane all change structure from game to game and during games based on who they play and the position the team is in. I also agree that the structure does not compliment the cattle, we need to play format and structure that suits the players not the other way around.

 

[Coach]

Can someone tell why;

1. Necevski was preferred to Izzo
2. Fab was preferred to Trent

Two good things this year has been the improvement of Izzo and Trent, I can only gather some discipline issues or a complete brain fade!
