Kinnibari Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Game day tomorrow. Newcastle have also only conceded 3 goals so far this season, and tend to sit deeper than other teams, so should be an interesting matchup. They are currently 4th. I expect their goals against won't look so good tomorrow evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murfy1 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 As predicted, it's a matter of Melbourne City having to break the Jets down, hence the attacking formation change: W-League: Breaking down Jets is key to winning 12 December 2015 Melbourne City FC defender Steph Catley believes her side's patience will be key to unlocking Newcastle Jet's back four. New South Wales has been a happy hunting ground for Melbourne this season, taking maximum points from its two fixtures in Sydney and Gosford. A 6-0 opening round win against the Sky Blues saw Joe Montemurro's girls return with three points before defeating reigning champions Canberra United 4-2 on the Central Coast. Gearing up four its third trip north in the space of two months, Catley said preparations were running smoothly in camp ahead of tomorrow's Round 9 clash at Hunter Stadium. “Preparations have been going really well this week. It feels like it's been a while since we've had the whole team together for an entire training week so that always a huge bonus,” Catley said. “The sessions have been intense and sharp and everyone seems to be buzzing for Sunday. "I think we can expect an energetic and hard working Newcastle side that like to counter attack but try to play as well. Newcastle have come a long way as a team in the last few years and I think it will be a really tough contest," she added. Like City, Newcastle boasts the best defensive record in the 2015-16 W-League season. Both sides have conceded only three goals, with Newcastle maintaining four clean sheets out of a possible six. Breaking down Newcastle’s tight defensive unit is sure to hand City one of its more difficult assignments this weekend, but Catley said her side's patience will be crucial in dismantling its fourth placed oppoenents. "That statistic (three goals) says a lot about their organisation defensively and having watched some footage of their games, it's clear that they are a very strong side defensively. "I think the key for us is to not get frustrated on the ball and also being clinical and ruthless in front of goal when we have opportunities". City Welcomed back eight girls from international duty last week as Montemurro's girls defeated Melbourne Victory 4-0. Catley was one of the travelling party as the Matilda's journeyed to South Korea the week prior. It was the third time this season the full back had received an international call up. “It's been tough at times," she conceded. "We're very well looked after at both the Matildas and Melbourne City to ensure that our training loads are balanced and our bodies are recovering after travel and games.” http://www.melbournecityfc.com.au/article/w-league/155p9klid0d9r1gaavpb8iwoxw I wouldn't mind seeing a replay of that Crummer offside goal, as it didn't look too bad to me.

Pete Heartspur Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Why does the women's team have black numbers on white and white on red, when the men's has shitty blue on both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinnibari Posted December 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 No idea why these numbers are white and black but it's so much better. Entertaining match so far, Jets are looking very good. Glad to see them doing better after struggling for several seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidrildid6 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Jets defend well as a team but they have made so many turnovers. Got to take more advantage of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinnibari Posted December 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Nice to get some positive commentary about City and our impact on the league. We need a strong league for a strong national team. Anyone see the negative commentary this week? I actually saw more positive discussion.

Shahanga Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Any ideas why we are playing in the "hand me down" strip again? Surely red and white doesn't clash with blue with a dash of red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinnibari Posted December 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Relief to hear the whistle go. Strong performance from the Jets and their goal difference could well do them well at the end of the season. Good game, showed us what we still have to work on.

No. Definitely not that. Girls have worn red & white heaps this season. It's more they have predetermined games they will wear certain strips in order to keep the sponsors happy. The sponsors wishes seem to be several orders of magnitude higher in priority than the fans at MCFC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecguymer Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Catley has played in an attacking mid-field type position in the past, but a few years ago made the switch to defender; so she knows the role she was in yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
