R5 v City away

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

same thing as the corner - too slow, let the attacker get away. That's pisspoor

 

[Josho Howe]

Those who questioned our energy coming into this have turned out completely correct. we look dead in the water.

Spot on

 

[FFC Mariner]

Ziggy at fault for the 2nd - arguably for the 1st. Very poor defensively

 

[soccer mad]

City to good tonight

Ziggy and Clisby once again instructed to be too far up the pitch before we have even got the ball!

 

[Ozhammer]

Yep we aren't getting many calls for how physical Griffiths and Good are. TBF they are playing us well. Simon would shake things up a bit but who do you sacrifice.

Oar for mine, he’s been pretty much invisible for most of the game

Maybe bring him off for Simon. Play 3 defenders - I don't think we'd miss the 4th; they haven't outnumbered us.
Actually, that's interesting...they're not getting numbers on us in attack. Our defence is just shit.

Well, he very visibly let that first goal in....

Midfield has been woeful and putting too much pressure on our defence. Shades of past seasons

our mids are nonexistent today.

 

[soccer mad]

Where all over the place

 

[Josho Howe]

I don't think we've been overly bad, City are quite good tbf

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

We're looking about as tired as we did in every game last season by this point.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

I actually think we really need Simon right now. Simon does at least run back to help out the mids and defence. We really need that.

Last Sunday has taken its toll

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

wtf????

 

[FFC Mariner]

No excuse here - City are too good. We need to pick up points against the teams around us, not league leaders. Anything under 4 or 5 is a decent result . Last season, this is 6 or more

 

[NoDiggity]

Is Matt Simon on the outer? Warming the bench and Murray being used before him..

Think Staj realises the comp is past him

if we could get one goal away and keep it to 2 down, then that's really not a bad outcome. Games like this it's always hard to tell - how much of us looking poor is due to factors like Perth away, and how much is due to MCY just making us look bad?
Hands down, MCY are the best team we've played against so far, I reckon.
