Murfy1 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) City's issues being 'swept aside' - Gameiro By Michael Huguenin 25 November 2015 The ex-Sydney FC striker insists critics are ignoring Melbourne City's injury list and player turnover when assessing their form Corey Gameiro has pleaded with Melbourne City fans to remain patient with the club as he is convinced "it's only going to get better". City were one of the pre-season favourites for the 2015-16 A-League title but inconsistency has plagued John van 't Schip's side, with Gameiro just one in the squad working his way back from a long-term injury. The 22-year-old forward told the Daily Football Show on Wednesday that City need their fans to "stay with us"; while he argued people have conveniently forgotten about the club's injury list and the player turnover since last season. City have won just two of their opening seven games. "With the transition that the club's gone through, with the eight or nine players that have come in, people don't understand [the impact]," Gameiro said. "For example, I'll use [Ivan] Franjic; he hasn't really played with many players in the team, he hasn't involved in the starting XI build-up and what we're practicing and what we're doing. I've only been involved for three weeks. I've been on the sidelines watching us train. "So the transition of the players coming in and learning the style... there's a lot of new faces and it's really been swept to the side and not really been taken into account." Gameiro has been involved in City's past four matches, including a start in last week's 1-1 draw away to leaders Brisbane Roar. The former Fulham youth player moved south from Sydney FC after last season, with Gameiro having impressed many with two goals and an assist in his opening five games for the Sky Blues in 2014-15 before he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament. While Gameiro is back playing, he insists he has yet to reach his best form. "Coming back after being out for 12 months, it's taken a while for me to find my feet a little bit and I'm still nowhere near where I want to be, and nowhere near where I was [before the injury]," he said. With Socceroos full-back Ivan Franjic only having made his league debut for City last week, plus Harry Novillo, Michael Zullo, Patrick Kisnorbo and Robbie Koren all at various stages of recovery, Gameiro is bullish about the title chances of Van 't Schip's team. "Players need to be play together to understand each other... so when we're down the track... then things will start to flow," Gameiro said. "We are 100 per cent confident that things are only going to get better for us when everyone's fully fit." http://www.goal.com/en-au/news/4021/a-league/2015/11/25/17684632/citys-issues-being-swept-aside-gameiro Full interview in Video & Audio thread.

Change the order of the sentences around and purportedly quote a different player. Gameiro, mate - do us a favour - we've heard all this for 5+ seasons now. So we know that Cory, and your injury is not the same as the bullshit soft tissue injuries we are seeing for the rest of the players. Points to consider then: We are where we are because the players that are on the field are instructed to execute a game plan that they are not capable of executing, therefore the coach/ manager is not proficient at his role in the club. Any coach with a full list of quality players can achieve average to good results, but a quality coach can lead average players to average to good results. JVS is a substandard coach based on performance. So the question about why so many ST injuries? Well the training facility was substandard, ground was too hard. This is ridiculous considering the sports science infrastructure we have. So again the team's inability to have a full team on the pitch is due to incompetence of those responsible for player health and fitness. Again the performance of the club is stifled by incompetence. The reason why we are where we are is because JVS and player management are incompetent........ i am sure that's what you were really trying to say Cory.

Murfy1 Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Melbourne City only play to win says John van’t Schip, brushing off ‘anti-football’ jibe November 26, 2015 Matt Windley JOHN van't Schip says Melbourne City will do its talking on the field against Perth Glory after refusing to bite back at allegations his team played "anti-football" in Brisbane last week. But the coach declared it is imperative that City's players do put their best foot forward on Friday night — for the fans, he said — after suffering back-to-back disappointments at AAMI Park in recent weeks. City coughed up a two-goal lead to be humbled 3-2 by Newcastle in Round 4 before suffering consecutive home defeats for the first time since March-April 2014 after being trounced 3-0 by Western Sydney in Round 6. "We are disappointed about the last games and we want to set that right," van't Schip said. "The only way to do that is get a win against Perth. Everyone, looking at the training and the week, understands that. "The performance in Brisbane was important, but again we have to show that we can back those things up and make sure that we can make a next step." After the 1-1 draw against the Roar, former Heart coach John Aloisi slammed City for what he perceived to be negative tactics against his new side. Van't Schip said "I don't agree and that's the only thing that I can say" about the comments. But when asked if his side would play a more attacking brand against Perth than it did last week, van't Schip defended his team's style, particularly in light of the fact that it continues to go without first-team regulars Robbie Koren, Michael Zullo, Patrick Kisnorbo and Aaron Hughes. "We always try to do that," van't Schip said. "Look at our games. Sydney away (in Round 1), I think we were there to try and win the game, even though we have all those problems with injuries. "It's the way we want to play, even with players who are not first team starters normally we have that approach and it doesn't change. "It does mean that sometimes, because the other team is maybe stronger, you have to defend and go back, but we always go out there to try and win the game and that means we want to have the ball and attack." Socceroos right back Ivan Franjic, recovered from his quad injury, is likely to start tonight after coming on in the second half of what was his City debut last week. Zullo (calf), despite playing in the youth team on Sunday, remains at least another week away, while the makeshift central defensive pair of Connor Chapman and Jacob Melling is set to be used again in the ongoing absence of Kisnorbo (calf) and Hughes (calf). http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/football/a-league/teams/melbourne-city/melbourne-city-only-play-to-win-says-john-vant-schip-brushing-off-antifootball-jibe/news-story/8cb8771b35ca63b3e64c2dda6fda6f7d#load-story-comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
