SF33 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 23 hours ago, Shahanga said: That never made sense to me when you have a visa spot tied up. Yeah, there's definitely that aspect. There's also the other issue that Sorensen didn't actually do anything wrong to find himself on the bench in the first place. He was red carded and suspended for covering for a teammate's blunder, sacrificing himself for the good of the team and helping to preserve the win (Bouzanis was also excellent when he came on in Round 1, it must be said). So sure, City could have kept Bouzanis in favour of Sorensen, either to give him a few games of experience (say, up to six, spread over the course of the season), or they could have kept him in the starting position, until he had a howler of a game. He's had a few of those, yet he remained, with Sorensen staying in the apparent doghouse, for God knows what reason. I can't remember a game this season where I've gone away thinking "Gee, it's lucky we had Bouzanis between the sticks, rather than Sorensen." And that's because Sorensen is simply a better keeper and because he's also the natural leader that we need to marshal our inexperienced and limited defenders. It's just been a baffling decision to keep him on the bench, getting splinters, when there was no good reason for it. You make a decision for the future when you're anchored to the bottom of the table and going nowhere fast, not when you should be competing for premierships/championships. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjake1234 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Still trying to find logic. This season Sorenson has played seven games with one clean sheet.

silva10 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 There has been no logic to Sorenson sitting on the bench. He should have been paid of at Xmas if he wasn't first choice, and we could have used the visa slot on an outfield player. Once again the CFG heirarchy have been guilty at letting things slide at this club. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fidrildid6 Posted April 24, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Press F to pay your respects to Thomas Sorensen, who has now retired. Last season voted Goalkeeper of the Season, this season lost his spot in round one due to someone else's mistake and was thereafter kept out of the side by a bloke who couldn't save a word document. Tommy, you didn't deserve this. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rass Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Well done Tommy. Now have to find another reason to get Mrs Rass to the football....

GreenSeater Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 His performance in that derby win last year where he was unbeatable is probably close to the best individual performance in a game I've seen from anyone wearing a Heart/City shirt.

jw1739 Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 All we know is the statement by Valkanis and that TS is doing a coaching course at CFA along with Cahill. He's done coaching with juniors in Abu Dhabi on at least one occasion, so it looks as though he's lined up for some sort of coaching role within City Football Group, but there's no definite information. The club seems to be in snooze mode as far as A-League matters go, except for the membership department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt50 Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 I suspect they are holding off on announcing his retirement until he's completed his badges, so they can announce his coaching appointment at the same time. In that way its ensuring they are having one press release on Sorensen, rather than two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a bit like going to a week-long OHS course and getting a diploma at the end of it.
