Shahanga Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 That bloody slippery fish is our fair dinkum nemesis. Be worth signing the bastard just so he couldn't play against us. In this instance though I believe he came back from an offside position, before showing us the definition of class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't call him slippery for nothing. Similar to Smeltz a few seasons back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuggetsMcGreggor Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 so...Retre was holding his knee or just above his knee when he came off... Given our luck with injuries I guess this means he's out for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Paulo is becoming an established member of the squad, but I'm not sure he should be brought on as a defender - he's regularly exposed for pace, last night being no exception. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrick's no fool. I'd say he brought that speedster on to target Retre. Retre might have been the better footballer (seemed to win the tustles when pace was not involved) but it doesn't matter when you can't catch 'em. This season I think Retre had been a better midfielder than Melling. I don't think the gaffer agrees though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXCiTyZeNXx Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 I feel bad for retre. I feel he has a good heart and i want him to do well as he does do some good things in matches but then does make mistakes that can cost us goals. I reckon he should go to central coast or newcastle on loan and get game time so he can improve. He did alright for the youth squad but struggles in the first team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 He wasn't great last night but I felt we lost momentum when he was subbed. I reckon he was giving us a lot more energy in the middle than we got from Colazo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embee Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Still think there's a place for a versatile squaddie like Retre in our team, just depends on whether that's the kind of role he's happy to fill. With players like Genreau and Pierias coming through he's going to get pushed further down the pecking order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewConvert Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 TBH I think that others in teh team had passed him by but the way Brattan has been playing I think I may just put him ahead of Brattan in my pecking order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Clearly Retre has no friends on here so I'll stand up for him....... One of the better 'squadies' in the league.  Newcastle, Adelaide, Central Coast, Wellington would love to have him. Shouldn't be starting with the list we've got but when the 'first 11' aren't performing (all of 2017) I have no concerns at all with him starting mid or RB. One of the main criticisms of City this season is they don't play forward, or with pace and have to go out wide to get anywhere. Retre offers an option through the middle every time when he is on. He works hard. Last night we were more direct and had more fight and yet no one seems to see that Retre was an important part of that (Kilkenny bringing the ball out was also very important). Having said all that Genreau had a fantastic debut and looks very assured on the ball. For me, no danger in throwing either in there when we need a bit of energy and fight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAM10 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Retre is an average player technically but there is no doubts of his work ethics. I don't see him as a midfielder. I wouldn't start him ahead of Kilkenny, Malik, Brattan or Caceres. I would start him as a right back instead of Franjic who's performances since his come back have been questionable.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO started to deteriorate with his knee injury. Garuccio's career was stalled when JvS tried his "convert winger to full-back" trick on him. Never really recovered. We chased Clisby at Perth Glory and then dumped him. I know he was a Forum whipping-boy, but IMO he was a perfectly adequate player for us. Hard as nails, and I can't see that either Muscat or Rose are any better as full-backs than Clisby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
