R18: Roar v CCM

[Rowdy]

Fab and Fletch have swspped flanks.

For the first 15mins we look a lot more patient when in possession.

Just need to see play 'switch' a bit more often and quicken up the ball speed when passing.

 

[rbakersmith]

Why bother putting someone in goals if he's not going to go after the ball?

 

[Pirate Pete]

The free kick was taken miles from the foul.
What was izzo doing?
Why when we get a free kick in that position do we pass it around and it ends up back with izzo?
just kick it in the box!

 

[Rowdy]

FMD !!!
JADE FCKN NORTH

 

[Rowdy]

Storm Roux - massive fail (yet again) on McLaren with the defensive header ............. ......Wombat's gonna go apeshit

 

[rbakersmith]

That's going to be the end of Fabio for this game...

 

[Rowdy]

Monty's turned over quite a bit of possession in that first-half, both whilst on the ball and passing.

 

[sydmariner]

That's going to be the end of Fabio for this game...

[Rowdy]

Josh Rose's SHIT first touch when he shouldve had a strike leads to Bris counter attack and GOAL
FMD again

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

I remember in training, for attacking we'd have our back to goal, ball would come in behind us, we'd have to run up, find the goal and take a shot.
I feel like Izzo also needs to do that. For, like, a week. He has absolutely no f****** idea where the goal is. That last goal? No attempt whatsoever to save it - he thought it was going to miss. He has let in a LOT of goals thinking they were going to miss.

I'd rather have HB back and develop him for a season. Izzo hasn't improved all season - HB was improving each game and wasn't that far behind Izzo. Superior in some ways.

Of course, Montgomery looking like he was afraid of the ball didn't help matters much either.

Even their first goal, zero attempt by Izzo. Don't get me wrong, our defensive line is as pathetic as always, but teams that have a keeper who actually tries to stop the ball certainly have an advantage.
At least he looked like he made an attempt on the second goal.
I feel like Izzo and our defenders all thought it would be a fun experiment to play the game on Valium or something, only explanation I have for those 3 goals.

 

[Rowdy]

Note to TW:
Ascroft to START next week

 

[Pirate Pete]

I don't think it was Izzo didn't know where the goal was. He just didn't bother. Maybe wrong footed. Danny Vukovic was much the same. Made very little effort and threw his arms up.

 

[sydmariner]

Note to TW:
Ascroft to START next week

Garcia to start as well

 

[rbakersmith]

May as well blow the final whistle now...
