kingofhearts Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 A really tough game but no reason we can't win. Expect another tight contest, and us to sneak a winner late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 IMO we're just entering the "vinegar stroke" period of the season. The next three matches - Sydney, Victory and Perth - will establish whether we are title contenders or just pretenders for yet another season. The FFA Cup is a solid achievement, but it doesn't take us into Asia. Brandan is on four cards, Bruno and Muscat on three, and so that's something else that we have to watch. We have a tough ending to the season with more away matches than at home, so we need to be taking points off the other contenders to be there at the end of the season. That's how I see it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Malik out with a quad injury. This a blow because IMO Chapman and Jakobsen don't look comfortable together.

We may see Kilkenny dropping and playing the 3 of Colazo Jakobsen and Franjic. Super attacking. But more likely Rose or Muscat.

bt50 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 No idea whether we'll opt for 4-3-3, 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 here but i suspect we'll line up as we did in the cup, with Chapman replacing Malik. Caceres for Cahill is a possibility given Cahill's injury and potentially Fitzy could start over Kamau based on form. I'm tipping 1-1 as i think this has cagey draw written all over it but a win here would be huge, as would a loss. Bruno from the spot. Bouzanis Franjic Chapman Jakobsen Colazo Kilkenny Brattan Cahill Kamau Fornaroli Brandan SUBS : Sorensen Caceres Retre Fitzgerald Muscat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belaguttman Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 I'm amused that we are suddenly such a physical team. Heart/City has always been such a pushover team in the face of even minor physicality from opponents, suddenly we are supposed to be more physical than perennial bruisers like Perth and visit0rs and WSW. Teams are just frustrated that it doesn't work any more. That won't stop Arnold bring on bouncer Matt Simon during the second half though 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a huge part of the hate, teams and supporters not only have to deal with a good team, but a way tougher opponent, and it hurts.
